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 BUS AGC 15A fuse.

AUTO/OFF/MANUAL Switch — 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 AUTO mode.
