1.Check that AUTO/OFF/MANUAL is set to OFF.

2.Apply utility power to the Automatic Transfer Switch by turning ON the main distribution panel circuit breaker.

3.Set the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to AUTO.The Automatic Power System is now ready for automatic operation.

4.Turn OFF the main distribution panel circuit breaker sending power to the automatic transfer switch.

The engine will crank and start once the utility voltage drops out and the sensor has timed out. After starting, the Automatic Power Transfer System will transfer essential circuit loads to the generator. Let the system go through its entire automatic operation sequence.

5.With the generator output supplying its loads, turn ON the main distribution panel circuit breaker that supplies utility power to the Automatic Power Transfer Switch.

6.After about 6 seconds, the automatic transfer switch will transfer loads back to the utility power.

7.About one minute after re-transfer, the engine will shut down.

This completes the test procedures for automatic operation.The Home Generator System will now start automatically when utility power is lost and will supply power to the transfer switch.

Stopping the System

To disable the power transfer system for maintenance:

1.Ensure that the main distribution panel circuit breaker that sends utility voltage to the transfer switch is ON.

2.Set the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to OFF.

3.Set the generator’s main circuit breaker to its OFF position.

Setting Exercise Timer

The Home Generator System 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 12 minutes and then shuts down. Electrical load transfer DOES NOT occur during the exercise cycle (unless an utility power outage occurs).
