Setting Exercise Timer

It is recommended to have the generator go through an excercise cycle once every seven days. During this exercise period, the unit runs for approximately 20 minutes and then shuts down.

Refer to the Control Panel Application Guide supplied with this generator for more detailed information on the exercise timer.

OR, refer to the Automatic Transfer Switch Application Guide for more detailed information on the exercise timer.

Maintenance

The generator warranty does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or neglect. To receive full value from the warranty, the operator must maintain the system as instructed in the Maintenance section.

Servicing the System

Before performing any generator maintenance, always perform the following steps:

Shutdown Alarm Detection System

The generator may have to run for long periods of time with no operator present. For that reason, the system is equipped with sensors that automatically shut down the generator in the event of potentially damaging conditions, such as low oil pressure, high temperature, over speed, and other conditions.

The generator’s control board shows possible shutdown alarms descriptions on the digital display.

The possible shutdown alarms are listed below:

•Overspeed

•Underspeed

•Low Oil Pressure

•High Coolant Temperature

•External Shutdown 1

•External Shutdown 2

•External Shutdown 3

REPRODUCTION

The operator must reset the shutdown alarm detection system each time it activates.

Refer to the Control Panel Application Guide supplied with this generator for more detailed information on resetting the Shutdown Alarm Detection System.

Overspeed

This shutdown alarm is indicated by Overspeed showing on the digital display. This condition occurs if the engine speed in greater than 115% of nominal engine RPM, which is derived from generator frequency.

To remedy the problem, contact your installer or an authorized dealer.

Underspeed

This shutdown alarm is indicated by Underspeed showing on the digital display. This condition occurs if the engine speed drops under the nominal engine RPM.

To remedy the problem, contact your installer or an authorized dealer.
