Fuse
15 Amp Fuse — Protects the Home Standby Generator
DC control circuits.If the fuse has ‘blown’ (melted open)
or was removed,the engine cannot crank or start. Replace
the fuse using only an identical BUSAGC 15A fuse.
AUTO/OFF/MANUALSwitch — This three-position
switch is the most important control on the system and is
used as follows:
•“AUTO” position is the normal operating position.If a
utility power outage is sensed,the system will start the
generator.When utility power is restored,lets the engine
stabilize internal temperatures,shuts off the generator,
and waits for the next utility power outage.
•“OFF” position turns off running generator,prevents
unit from starting and resets any detected faults.
•“MANUAL” position starts the engine after a short
amount of time.It is used for maintenance or diagnostic
functions.
Circuit Breaker— Protects the system from shorts and
other over-current conditions.Must be ON to supply
power to the Automatic Transfer Switch.
Diagnostic LED — Used for troubleshooting operational
problems with the Home Standby Generator.All fault
conditions are described in the section “Fault Detection
System”.
Hour Meter — The hour meter records the total number
of hours the generator has been running and is used to
schedule maintenance tasks.
Set Exercise Switch — Used to set the exercise cycle
start time and day-of-the-week.Exercise cycle only occurs
in AUTOmode.
