Operation

Setting the Exercise Timer

This generator is equipped with a configurable exercise
timer. There are two settings for the exercise timer.
Day/Time: Once set, the generator will start and exercise
at a predetermined day and time. During this exercise
period, the unit runs for approximately 5 or 12 minutes,
depending on the model, and then shuts down.
Exercise frequency (how often the exercise will take
place): Exercise frequency can be set to Weekly,
Biweekly or Monthly. If Monthly is selected, the day of the
month must be selected from 1–28. The generator will
exercise on that day each month. Transfer of loads to the
generator output does not occur during the exercise
cycle unless utility power is lost.
NOTE: If the installer tests the generator prior to installation, press the "enter" button to skip setting up the
exercise timer.
NOTE: The exercise feature will operate only when the
generator is placed in the AUTO mode and will not work
unless this procedure is performed. The current date/time
will need to be reset every time the 12 volt battery is
disconnected and then reconnected, and/or when the
fuse is removed.

programming options for all Home Standby generators.

necessary periodic exercise operation, the lower rpm
