SETTING EXERCISE TIMER
The Home Standby Generator is equipped with an exercise
timer that will start and exercise the generator 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 switch on the control panel is labeled “Set Exercise” (see
page 7). On the specific day and time the switch is pressed,
the control board is programmed.This date and time is
then used to automatically initiate the generator exercise
cycle.
To perform the Set Exercise procedure:
1. Choose day and time you want Home Standby
Generator to exercise.
2. On that da
y and time, set AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch
to OFF position.
3. Press and hold down “Set Exercise” switch for two
seconds.
4. Set AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to AUTO.“Set
Exercise” is complete.
For example, if you press the “Set Exercise” switch on
Sunday morning at 10:00 AM, the unit will run an exercise
cycle the following Sunday at 10:00 AM (+/- 1 hour).
NOTE: “Set Exercise” will only work if the unit is in the
Automatic mode and this exact procedure is followed.
If you want to change the day and time the unit exercises,
simply perform the “Set Exercise” procedure at the day and
time you want it to take place.
