period days | 30 |
All models
Range: 00 to 255
Sets a maximum number of days allowed between operation of the generator. When an internal counter reaches the number of days set, the generator will be started at the END QUIET TIME menu item setting. The run time is fixed at 10 minutes. If the generator is manually or automatically operated for 5 minutes at any time during this period, then this counter will reset and the period will start again. If this menu item is set for 1 day, then the generator will start everyday at this time. If the period is set to zero, then the exercise system will be disabled. If power is present at the AC1 input, the generator will not be connected to during the exercising operating period.
Set Maximum run

All Models
Range: 00:00 to 23:50
This setting provides an indication that the generator operated excessively after it was automatically or manually started. Once this time period is reached, the error LED will flash and a GEN MAX RUN TIME ERROR condition will be indicated in the GENERATOR MODE (2) menu heading. This error is an advisory only error and does not stop the generator and the inverter/charger will continue to operate normally. While the error condition exists, the generator can be started manually or automatically. To reset the error condition, press the green GEN MENU button to select OFF, then the AUTO or ON. Setting the time to 00:00 defeats this function.

Set RY7 Function
GlowStop Run
All Models
Allows Relay 7 (RY7) to provide two different generator start routines. The relay labeled RY7 is used to either provide a STOP signal or a RUN signal. It can also be used to provide a GLOW signal on diesel generators with glowplugs. Note that the right side choice, RUN, is the default.
When RUN is selected as the function of the RY7 relay, the RY7 COM and RY7 N.O. contacts remain closed while the generator is running. The RY7 N.C. (normally closed) contact is open (not connected to the common terminal) while the generator is running. When the generator is off, the RY7 N.C. terminal is connected to the RY7 COM terminal. This configuration is useful for starting a two wire (auto crank) type generator.
When GLOWSTOP is selected as the function of the RY7 relay, the RY7 COM and RY7 N.O. contacts remain open while the generator is running. The contacts close only when it is time for the generator to be stopped, then
The GLOWSTOP setting can also be used for diesel generators. This relay can be used to provide both the GLOW and STOP signals. When this is done the generator will be given both GLOW and STOP signals before cranking and when stopping.
Set Gen warmup
seconds60
All Models
Range: 16 to 255
Sets the number of seconds the generator is allowed to warm up before the load is connected and the battery charger started. If the generator is located in a cold location (below freezing), a longer setting may be required.
