Configuring the RC/GS and RC7

Begin Gen Quiet and End Gen Quiet (RC/GS Only)

The period of time during which the generator is prevented from starting automatically can be defined using the RC/GS.

To specify the begin quiet time, scroll to the Begin Gen Quiet: 00:00 by using the Up and Down arrow buttons. Set the Begin Gen Quiet start time. The selected digit for hours or minutes will be underlined and highlighted (to set the time, see “Set Clock (RC/GS Only)” on page 17).

Note: Setting Begin Gen Quiet and End Gen Quiet to the same time defeats the quiet time mode.

Note: If the generator is running when quiet time begins, it shuts down automatically. The buzzer also sounds and the screen shows the message “Gen Quiet Fault.” If the auto-start condition still exists at the end of quiet time, the generator will start.
