Unloaded Full-Speed Exercise; Loaded Full-Speed Exercise (With Rxt Only); Power Failure During Exercise Cycle - Kohler 14RCA Manual

Battery voltage. Battery voltage is checked before
D
exercise to verify engine starting capability. Battery
voltage provides a measurement of battery health. If
the controller detects low battery voltage, the
condition is indicated on the display.
Communication integrity tests.
D
Ethernet, and USB are monitored for messages
indicating that the controller and wiring are reliable.
Engine speed. Engine speed is measured at
D
reduced speed and full speed. An overspeed or
underspeed condition will result in a fault condition
and shutdown.
Generator output frequency and voltage.
D
Operating the generator at full speed allows the
RDC2 controller to check the output power for correct
voltage, frequency, and stability. When the engine is
running at full speed, the controller verifies that the
voltage and frequency are within acceptable limits. A
fault message is displayed if the voltage or frequency
is out of range.
Oil pressure. Oil pressure is verified to ensure
D
proper lubrication of critical engine components.
Pressure is monitored at both reduced and full
speeds. If the oil pressure is low, the Low Oil Pressure
message is displayed and the generator set shuts
down.

Unloaded Full-Speed Exercise

The unloaded full-speed exercise runs the generator set
at full speed for 20 minutes without transferring the load.
To set an unloaded full-speed exercise, follow the
procedure in Figure 3-8 and select Exercise Mode:
Unloaded Full.
22 Section 2 Generator Set Operation
2.4.4
A loaded exercise starts the generator set, ramps up to
full speed, and then transfers the electrical load from the
utility source to the generator set. After 20 minutes, the
J1939, RBUS,
load is transferred back to the utility source. The engine
runs without load for 5 minutes or until cool, and then
shuts down automatically.
Note: With a loaded exercise, power to the building is
For a loaded exercise controlled by the RDC2 controller,
a Model RXT transfer switch must be connected to the
generator set. To set a loaded exercise, follow the
procedure in Figure 3-8 and select Exercise Type:
Loaded.
For a loaded exercise with a transfer switch other than a
Kohlerr Model RXT, program the exercise at the
transfer switch controller. Refer to the transfer switch
operation manual for instructions.
2.4.5
If the utility power is lost during an unloaded exercise,
the ATS transfers to the emergency source, the exercise
is ended and the control remains in the AUTO mode.
If the utility power is lost during a loaded exercise, the
exercise is ended. The ATS remains in the emergency
position and the control goes into the AUTO mode.
The generator set continues to run and supply power to
the load for the duration of the utility power outage.
When Utility power is restored, the ATS will re-transfer to
the utility source through normal timing sequences.
Loaded Full-Speed Exercise (with
RXT only)
lost for up to 10 seconds during load transfer.
