Utility
Voltage
Dropout
Sensor
• This sensor monitors
utility source voltage.
• If utility source voltage drops below about 70 percent of
the nominal supply voltage, the sensor energizes a
6-second timer.The
timer is used to 'sense' brown-outs.
• Once the timer has expired, the engine will crank and
start.
Utility
Voltage
Pickup Sensor
This sensor monitors
utility power supply voltage.When
that voltage is restored above 80 percent of the nominal
source voltage, a time delay starts timing and the engine
will go to engine cool-down.
Engine Cool-down
Timer
• When the load is transferred
back to the utility power
source, the engine cool-down
timer starts timing.
• The timer will run for about one minute, then the
generator will stop.
• Minimum engine run time is 5 minutes.
SETTING
EXERCISE
TIMER
The Home Standby Generator
is equipped with an exercise
timer that will start and exercise the system once every
seven days. During this exercise period, the unit runs for
approximately
20 minutes and then shuts down. Electrical
load transfer DOES NOT occur during the exercise cycle
(unless an utility power outage occurs).
A switch on the control
panel is labeled "Set Exercise" (see
Figure I I).The specific day and the specific time of day this
switch is pressed is programmed
into the control
board
memory.This
date and time is then used to automatically
initiate the system exercise cycle.
To perform
the Set Exercise
procedure:
I.
Choose the day and time you want your Home
Standby Generator
to exercise.
2.
On that day and time, set the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL
switch to OFF.
3.
Press and hold down the "Set Exercise" switchfor two
seconds.
4.
Set the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL
switch to AUTO.
"Set
Exercise" is complete.
For example, if you press the "Set Exercise" switch on
Sunday morning at I 0:00 AM, the unit will run an exercise
cycle the following
Sunday at 10:00 AM (+/- I/2 hour).
NOTE:
"Set Exercise" will only work if the unit is in the
Automatic
mode and this exact procedure
is followed.The
exerciser
does not need to be re-set if the 15 Amp fuse is
removed or changed.The exerciser will need to be re-set if
the 12Volt DC battery is disconnected.
If you want to change the day and time the unit exercises,
simply perform
the "Set Exercise" procedure
at the exact
weekday and time you want it to take place.
