Generator Start (RC/GS Only)

After setting the clock and selecting a generator, set the parameters for automatically starting the generator based upon a battery voltage. Press the up arrow and scroll through the menus to view the Generator Start menu. Press the Settings button to select the required setting.

Note: You cannot set the Auto Gen parameters until you set the clock.

Note: When the battery voltage drops to the selected generator start setting, there is a 15-minute delay before the generator starts. If the battery voltage rises above the generator start setting during that 15-minute delay, the countdown resets itself and the generator does not start.

The default Generator Start selection is Manual (Push ON). This setting disables all automatic start functions. Any other selection from the Generator Start menu enables the RV Series Inverter/Charger to automatically start the generator based upon the battery’s voltage.

The available auto start voltage settings are 11.0, 11.5, 11.8, 12.0, and 12.2 VDC.
