4.5 Exercise

The DC2 controller can be set to automatically run the generator set at the same time and day each week. Exercising the generator set weekly is required to keep the engine and alternator in good operating condition.

A laptop computer with Kohlerr SiteTecht software can be used to change the exercise frequency to every two weeks. Use a USB cable to connect the controller to the computer and see TP-6701, SiteTech Operation Manual for instructions.

4.5.1Exercise Modes

Unloaded Cycle or Loaded Full-Speed exercises can be set from the DC2 controller. The Unloaded Cycle exercise mode is the default exercise mode. A Model RXT transfer switch is required for the Loaded Full-Speed exercise mode. See Section 2.4 for more information about the exercise modes.

A laptop computer with Kohlerr SiteTecht software can be used to change the exercise mode to Unloaded Full Speed.

4.5.2Setting the Exerciser
