SECTION 5 CONTROL FEATURES – ENGINE EXERCISERS

These timers periodically exercise the emergency engine-generator plant. They can be set to exercise with or without load transfer, or they can be completely disabled. The engine-generator should be exercised under load once a week for a minimum time period of 20 minutes, or follow the recommendations of the engine-generator set manufacturer. Refer to page 4–2 for location of DIP switches, battery (provided), and jumper block in the controller.

BUILT–IN ENGINE EXERCISER

The engine exerciser included in the Series 200 automatic transfer switching device provides a once a week 20–minute exercise period. It occurs immediately when the SET ENGINE EXERCISER push button is pressed (and held for at least 5 seconds), and then at the same time weekly thereafter. A 9 volt alkaline battery (DuracellR MN1604, EverreadyR 522, or PanasonicR 6AM6) is furnished and installed in the controller to maintain the setting. The battery jumper block must be shifted to the ON position. See Figure 4–2 on page 4–2.
