Setting Exercise Timer
The home 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 button on the control panel is labeled “Set Exercise” (see System Control Panel). The specific day and the specific time of day this button is pressed is programmed into the control board memory. This date and time is then used to automatically initiate the system exercise cycle. The “SET EXERCISE” legend on the control panel will flash until the set exercise cycle is set.
To perform the Set Exercise procedure:
1.Choose the day and time you want your home generator to exercise.
2.On that day and time, press and hold down the “Set Exercise” button for three seconds.
NOTE: “SET EXERCISE” will flash until the button is pressed for three seconds, then “SET EXERCISE” will illuminate for 5 seconds, and finally turn off.
3.The unit will then start and run it’s 20 minute exercise cycle.
For example, if you press the “Set Exercise” button on Sunday morning at 10:00 AM, the unit will run an immediate exercise cycle and then the following Sunday at 10:00 AM (+/- 1/2 hour).
