Alarm/Warning Conditions

The owner/operator is alerted to Alarm and/or Warning
conditions via the control panel LCD screen. All Alarm
conditions cause the generator to shut down. The
Warning messages alert the operator to conditions that
do not disable the unit or require immediate correction.
The possible Alarm/Warning messages are listed below.

Programmable Timers

Dealer Programmable

Exercise Time
A programmable exercise time is provided. In the AUTO
mode, the engine starts and runs once each week at the
time and day specified. During the exercise cycle, the
unit runs approximately 12 minutes and then shuts down.
Transfer of loads to the generator does not occur unless
utility power fails.
NOTE: A Dealer password is required to change the
Exercise time.

User Programmable

Start-Up Delay Timer
A programmable line interrupt delay (or Start-Up Delay)
timer is provided. When utility voltage fails (falls below
65% of nominal), the start-up delay timer is started. If the
voltage rises above the Utility Volts Low threshold, the
timer is reset. If the utility voltage remains below the
threshold during the duration of the timer, the unit cranks
and starts.
NOTE: The factory default setting is five seconds, but is
adjustable from 2 to 1500 seconds.
Warm-Up Delay Timer
A programmable Warm-Up Delay timer is provided. As
soon as the generator starts, the warm-up timer is
started. When the warm-up timer expires, the control
transfers load to the generator (through the transfer
switch) if the utility voltage is less than 80% of nominal. If
utility voltage is greater than the threshold at expiration of
the warm-up time, the load is not transferred to the
generator and a cool-down period begins. At the end of
the cool-down period, the generator stops.
NOTE: The factory default setting is five seconds, but is
adjustable from 5 to 1500 seconds.

USB Port for Firmware Updates

A USB port is located beneath the rubber flap on the
control panel, and is provided for firmware updates.
Firmware updates must be performed by an IASD.
NOTE: The USB port is intended for use with a USB
thumb drive only. The USB port is not intended for
charging devices such as phones or laptops. Do not
connect any consumer electronics to the USB port.
