Setting Exercise Timer
The home generator is equipped with an exercise timer that
will start and exercise the system once every seven days.
During this exercise period, the unit runs for approximately
20 minutes and then shuts down. Electrical load transfer
DOES NOT occur during the exercise cycle (unless an utility
power outage occurs).
A button on the control panel is labeled “Set Exercise” (see
System Control Panel). The specific day and the specific
time of day this button is pressed is programmed into the
control board memory. This date and time is then used to
automatically initiate the system exercise cycle. The “SET
EXERCISE” legend on the control panel will flash until the set
exercise cycle is set.
To perform the Set Exercise procedure:
. Choose the day and time you want your home
generator to exercise.
2. On that day and time, press and hold down the “Set
Exercise” button for three seconds.
NOTE: “SET EXERCISE” will flash until the button is pressed
for three seconds, then “SET EXERCISE” will illuminate for
5 seconds, and finally turn off.
For example, if you press the “Set Exercise” button on
Sunday morning at 0:00 AM, the unit will run an exercise
cycle the following Sunday at 0:00 AM (+/- /2 hour).
NOTE: “Set Exercise” will only work if the unit is in the
Automatic mode and this exact procedure is followed.
The exerciser will need to be re-set if the 5 Amp fuse
is removed or changed, or if the 2 Volt DC battery is
disconnected.
If you want to change the day and time the unit exercises,
simply perform the “Set Exercise” procedure at the exact
weekday and time you want it to take place.
