Minimum run time: It's good practice for a generator, once started, to be allowed to reach its operating temperature. When
started manually this setting is ignored.
Detect generator at AC input: Enabling this feature will raise an alarm on the GX device, as well as trigger an alarm email from
the VRM portal(1), whenever power is not detected at the AC input terminal of the Inverter/Charger. This function will bring
attention to a wide variety of problems; such as lack of fuel, or a mechanical or electrical fault at the generator. This functionality is
not available for VE.Can connected Multi/Quattro. (1) requires automatic alarm monitoring on VRM to be enabled. Which it is by
default.
