Max Run Time
Full name | Maximum Generator Run Time |
|
|
Purpose | “Max Run Time” allows a limit to be set on how long the generator will | ||
| run. This setting overrides any automatic start triggers. For example, if | ||
| the generator starts in response to low battery voltage, and the batteries | ||
| are not fully charged before “Max Run Time” is reached, the generator | ||
| will stop. In addition, when the generator is started manually from the | ||
| XW System Control Panel, the generator will stop when “Max Run Time” | ||
| is reached. |
|
|
| When started with an external manual ON/OFF switch, the generator will | ||
| not stop when it reaches “Max Run Time”. The generator must be stopped | ||
| with the external manual ON/OFF switch, or by using the System Control | ||
| Panel to change the “GenMode” to ManualOff. | ||
| If the XW Auto Generator Start reaches “Max Run Time”, a warning | ||
| message will appear on the XW System Control Panel. The XW Auto | ||
| Generator Start will stop operating until the warning is acknowledged by | ||
| pressing ENTER on the XW System Control Panel. | ||

Considerations | Adjust the “Max Run Time” if the maximum generator run time: | ||
| • exceeds the fuel capacity of the generator, or | ||
| • is not long enough to fully recharge the batteries under optimum | ||
| conditions. |

|
Exercise Per |
|
|
|
Full name | Set Exercise Period (in days). |
|
|
Purpose | “Exercise Per” sets the minimum time interval between each running of | ||
| the generator. If the generator has not been run within this time frame, the | ||
| XW Auto Generator Start will start the generator to “exercise” it. | ||
The time interval defined by the Exercise Period setting begins with the last time the generator was run for any reason, not with the last time the XW Auto Generator Start exercised the generator.
For example, setting an exercise period of 30 days would start the generator if it had not been run at all for 30 days.
