Exerciser

The exerciser uses a calendar-based scheduling
system. Up to 21 different exercise events can be
scheduled, each with different settings.
settings include the start date, start time, run duration,
type (loaded or unloaded), interval, and repeat rate.
An exercise event can be temporarily disabled to
prevent its execution and then re--enabled later using
the enable/disable setting.
The next scheduled exercise time and date are
indicated on the main screen. (See Figure 3-6.)

Setting the Exerciser

See Figure 5-7 and Figure 5-8.
Exerciser Parameter Description
Event Number Each scheduled exercise is called an event. Up to 21 different exercise events can be set, each with different
settings for the parameters shown in this table.
Enable/Disable Enable the event to allow it to run as scheduled. Disable an event to prevent it from running. The event
remains on the calendar so that it can be enabled again at a later time. This allows you to temporarily prevent a
scheduled exercise event from running, and then enable it again later without having to re-enter all the settings.
Loaded/Unloaded A loaded exercise starts the generator set and transfers the electrical load from the normal source to the
standby generator set. An unloaded exercise will start and run the generator set without transferring the load.
Interval Daily, weekly, monthly, or day/month. This setting works with the repeat rate to set the time interval between
exercise runs.
The day/month selection allows you to set the exerciser to run on the same day every month. For example, the
exerciser can be set to run the first Sunday of every month. Use caution with the day/month selection. For
example, selecting day/month on the 5th Friday of the month will cause the exerciser to run only during months
that have five Fridays.
Repeat Rate The repeat rate works with the interval to set the time interval between exercise runs. For example, if Day is
selected as the interval, and 5 is selected as the repeat rate, then the exercise will repeat every 5 days. Select
a number between 1 and 12.
Duration Enter the exercise run duration in hours:minutes. For example, a run time of 00:30 will run the generator set for
30 minutes. The maximum run time is 24 hours.
Start Date Enter the date, month/date/year, of the first exercise event. Subsequent events will be scheduled based on the
interval and repeat rate.
Start Time Enter the desired start time of the exercise run in hours:minutes. The time settings range from 00:00 to 23:59,
with 00:00=midnight.

In the Util-Gen mode, the exercise function occurs on
the standby source. In Gen-Gen mode, the standby
source generator set is exercised.
Exerciser
In a three-source system, there are two generators on
the standby transfer switch. The exercise function is
programmed and controlled by the standby transfer
switch. For a loaded exercise, the standby transfer
switch schedule is synchronized with the preferred
transfer switch and the standby exercise occurs within
the preferred transfer switch exercise period.
allows either generator set to run under the load
designated by the utility exercise periods.
