Exercise

The RDC2 controller can be set to automatically run the generator set at the same time and day each week. Exercising the
generator set weekly or every two weeks is required to keep the engine and alternator in good operating condition.
Three exercise modes are available: unloaded cycle, unloaded full speed, and loaded full speed. See the sections titled:
Unloaded Cycle Exercise with Complete System Diagnostics through Loaded Full-Speed Exercise (with RXT only) for
information about the exercise modes. A loaded exercise can be set at the RDC2 controller only if a Model RXT transfer switch
is connected.
Note:
With transfer switches other than the Model RXT, it is possible to have two exercise settings (one unloaded exercise set at the
generator set controller, and another exercise set at the ATS controller). If the exercise times overlap, the ATS exercise setting
takes priority.
If a transfer switch other than the Model RXT is used, refer to the instructions provided with the transfer switch t o set a loaded
exercise at the ATS, if desired.
