NOTE: If the unit has already been powered up, it will be
necessary to disconnect the generator battery, fuse and
battery charge circuit (T1 60 Hz / T1 & T2 50Hz).
2. The installation wizard will prompt the user to set
the fuel type and after choosing fuel type and
"Enter", the display will then annunciate "Activate
me (ENT) or ESC" to run in MANUAL.
3. Press Enter and use the up/down arrows and the
enter keys to put the activation code in.
NOTE: If you push ESC to run in MANUAL, the unit will
not function in AUTO. To enter the activation code at a
later time, it will be necessary to disconnect the generator
battery, fuse and battery charge circuit (T1).
If the unit is not activated, the install wizard will only allow
the programming to operate the generator. These
settings are: Current Date/Time and Exercise Day/Time
and annunciate "NOT ACTIVATED".
It the unit is activated, the install wizard will allow further
programming parameters and Auto operation. The
maintenance intervals will be initialized when the
exercise time is entered. The exercise settings can be
changed at any time via the EDIT menu. If the 12 volt
battery is disconnected or the fuse removed, the
installation wizard will operate upon power restoration.
The only difference is the display will only prompt the
customer for the current Time and Date.
Cold Smart Start
The Cold Smart Start feature can be enabled in the EDIT
menu. When enabled, the generator will monitor ambient
temperature and adjust its warm-up delay based on
temperature. If the ambient temperature conditions are
below 50 ºF (10 °C) upon startup in AUTO mode, the
generator will warm up for 30 seconds allowing the
engine to warm before the load is applied. If the
temperature is at or above 50 ºF (10 °C), the generator
will startup with the normal warm-up delay of six
seconds.
Interconnect System Self Test Feature
Upon power-up, this controller will go through a system
self test which will check for the presence of normal
power source voltage on the DC circuits. This is done to
prevent damage if the installer mistakenly connects AC
normal power source sensing wires into the DC terminal
block. If normal power source voltage is detected, the
controller will display a warning message and lock out the
generator, preventing damage to the controller. Power to
the controller must be removed to clear this warning.
Normal power source voltage must be turned on and
present at the N1 and N2 terminals inside the generator
control panel for this test to be performed and pass.
Installation Guidelines for 60 Hz EcoGen™ Generator
NOTE: All appropriate panels must be in place during
any operation of the generator. This includes operation
by
a
servicing
technician
troubleshooting procedures.
Before starting, complete the following:
1. Verify that the generator is OFF.
2. Set the generator main circuit breaker to OFF or
OPEN.
3. Turn off all breakers that will be powered by the
generator.
4. Check the engine crankcase oil level and, if
necessary, fill to the dipstick FULL mark with the
recommended oil. Do not fill above the FULL mark.
5. Check the fuel supply. Gaseous fuel lines must
have been properly purged and leak tested in
accordance with applicable fuel–gas codes. All fuel
shutoff valves in the fuel supply lines must be
open.
During initial start up only, the generator may exceed the
normal number of start attempts and experience an
"OVERCRANK" fault. This is due to accumulated air in
the fuel system during installation. Reset the control
board by pushing the OFF button and ENTER key, and
restart up to two more times if necessary. If unit fails to
start, contact an Independent Authorized Service Dealer
for assistance.
Check Manual Transfer Switch
Operation
Refer to the "Manual Transfer Operation" section of the
Owner's Manual for procedures.
DANGER
Electrocution. Do not manually transfer under load.
Disconnect transfer switch from all power sources
prior to manual transfer. Failure to do so will result
in death or serious injury, and equipment damage.
