GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL
OPERATION
DISPLAY MODE
Pressing the Display/Toggle pushbutton allows the user to scroll through the Normal, Alternate and Menu display Modes.
ALTERNATE DISPLAY MODE
Alternate Display Mode can be used to observe generator performance including oil pressure, coolant temperature, battery voltage, kilowatt load, generator voltage, kVA, hours to next service, amps, generator frequency, total run hours, engine speed, and unit identification number.
After pressing the Display/Toggle pushbutton to enter the alternate display mode, pressing the Raise/Scroll or Lower/Scroll pushbutton allows the user to scroll through the alternate display mode screens.
MENU MODE
Menu Mode can be used to observe settings programmed into the control panel. The menus include information on alarms, system configuration, sensing devices, and engine parameters.
To access the Menu Mode press the Display/Toggle (if in Normal Mode) pushbutton twice to begin the Menu display. Options can be selected by pressing the Raise/Scroll or Lower/Scroll pushbuttons, and after locating the desired option, pressing Select/Enter begins the next level of menus.
RUN MODES
There are three run mode options: Run, Off and Auto. When the Run pushbutton is pressed the unit will immediately start and the “not in auto” light will illuminate. In Run mode, the generator will continue to run until the Off pushbutton is pressed to stop the unit. At this point the “not in auto” light will illuminate and the unit will not operate.
When the Auto pushbutton is pressed the unit will enter automatic run mode, where the generator controller and the transfer switch will control the operation of the unit. In automatic run mode, the unit will automatically start up and shut off when power failure occurs and to exercise the unit.
WARNING
•The unit will automatically start and stop without notice.
When power failure occurs, a signal will be sent to the generator to start a warm up cycle. After the warm up cycle is completed, the transfer switch will allow the load to be transferred to the generator until it senses that regular utility power has been restored. When this occurs, the transfer switch will remove the load from the generator and a signal will be sent to the generator to begin a cool down cycle. After the cool down cycle is completed, the unit will stop running, but remain in the automatic run mode.
The unit will also automatically start itself to ensure it remains in good working order. Every 14 days the unit will automatically start up without warning and run for 20 minutes before shutting down. The unit will remain in automatic run mode after each exercise session.
