Installation Manual
Utility Voltage Dropout Sensor
• This sensor monitors utility source voltage.
• If utility source voltage drops below about 70 percent of
the nominal supply voltage, the sensor energizes a
6-second timer.The timer is used to 'sense' brown-outs.
• Once the timer has expired, the engine will crank and
start.
Utility Voltage Pickup Sensor
This sensor monitors utility power supply voltage.When
that voltage is restored above 80 percent of the nominal
source voltage, a time delay starts timing and the engine
will go to engine cool-down.
Engine Cool-down Timer
• When the load is transferred back to the utility power
source, the engine cool-down timer starts timing.
• The timer will run for about one minute, then the
generator will stop.
• Minimum engine run time is 5 minutes.
SETTING EXERCISE TIMER
The Home Standby Generator is equipped with an exercise
timer that will start and exercise the system once every
seven days. During this exercise period, the unit runs for
approximately 20 minutes and then shuts down. Electrical
load transfer DOES NOT occur during the exercise cycle
(unless an utility power outage occurs).
A switch on the control panel is labeled "Set Exercise" (see
Figure I I).The specific day and the specific time of day this
switch is pressed is programmed into the control board
memory.This date and time is then used to automatically
initiate the system exercise cycle.
To perform the Set Exercise procedure:
I. Choose the day and time you want your Home
Standby Generator to exercise.
2. On that day and time, set the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL
switch to OFF.
3. Press and hold down the "Set Exercise" switch for two
seconds.
4. Set the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to AUTO. "Set
Exercise" is complete.
For example, if you press the "Set Exercise" switch on
Sunday morning at I0:00 AM, the unit will run an exercise
cycle the following Sunday at 10:00 AM (+/- I/2 hour).
NOTE: "Set Exercise" will only work if the unit is in the
Automatic mode and this exact procedure is followed.The
exerciser does not need to be re-set if the 15 Amp fuse is
removed or changed.The exerciser will need to be re-set if
the 12Volt DC battery is disconnected.
If you want to change the day and time the unit exercises,
simply perform the "Set Exercise" procedure at the exact
weekday and time you want it to take place.
