Use the Quiet Time feature to ensure that the generator will not run during
the night, or to comply with “Quiet Time” guidelines at RV parks and
campgrounds.
To use the Auto Gen Start Quiet Time feature, first set “QT Enable” to
On, then set two times of the day or night (a Quiet Time Begin time and a
Quiet Time End time) to define a time interval during which the generator
will not run.
To disable the Quiet Time feature, set “QT Enable” to Off.
Time zone When travelling between time zones, ensure that you set the clock on the
System Control Panel to your correct local time. Otherwise, your quiet
time settings will come into effect too early or too late.
Battery drain Quiet Time prevents the automatic starting of the generator regardless of
battery condition.
If you need to set a quiet time that lasts overnight, be aware that overnight
battery drain can be significant. Because you may need to use an inverter
and batteries to supply AC power during quiet time, be careful to
conserve battery power. Minimize the use of interior lights and set
thermostat temperature lower to prevent the furnace from coming on at
night during cool weather. Set thermostats higher to prevent air
conditioning coming on at night during warm weather.
Outcomes Sometimes automatic start or automatic stop triggers may overlap with
the beginning and end of quiet time. Three different quiet time scenarios
affect when the generator stops and starts.
1. If quiet time begins after the Auto Gen Start has started the generator,
the generator will stop. If the condition that started the generator is
still present when quiet time ends, the generator will restart.
2. If a condition that requires starting the generator occurs during quiet
time, the Auto Gen Start will ignore it until quiet time ends. If the
condition still exists at the end of quiet time (after the time you set for
“QT End”), the Auto Gen Start will start the generator.
3. If the running generator stops when quiet time begins and a condition
that requires stopping the generator occurs during quiet time, the
generator will not restart when quiet time ends.
