Display Interface Menus
The LCD display is organized as detailed below:
• The “Home” page is the default page that will be displayed if no keys are pressed for fi ve (5) minutes. This page normally shows the current
Status message and the current date and time. The highest priority active Alarm and/or Warning will be automatically posted on this page as well,
and the backlight will fl ash when such an event is detected. In the case of multiple Alarms or Warnings, only the fi rst message will be displayed. To
clear an Alarm or Warning, press the OFF button and then press the ENTER key.
• The display backlight is normally off. If the user presses any key, the backlight will come on automatically and remain on for 30 seconds after the
last key was pressed.
• The “Main Menu” page will allow the user to navigate to all other pages or sub-menus by using the Up/Down and Enter keys. This page can
be accessed at any time with several presses of the Escape key. Each press of the Escape key takes you back to the previous menu until the
main menu is reached. This page displays the following options: HISTORY, STATUS, EDIT AND DEBUG. (See the Menu System Diagram in the
Owner’s Manual).)
7.2 GENERATOR
SET-UP
Upon fi rst power up of the generator, the display interface will begin an installation wizard. The installation wizard will prompt the user to set the
minimum settings to operate the generator. These settings are: Current Date/Time and Exercise Day/Time. The maintenance intervals will be
initialized when the exercise time is entered.
The exercise settings can be changed at any time via the “EDIT” menu.
If the 12 volt battery is disconnected or the fuse removed, the installation wizard will operate upon power restoration. The only difference is the
display will only prompt the customer for the current Time and Date.
7.2.1 SETTING THE EXERCISE TIMER
This generator is equipped with an exercise timer. Once it is set, the generator will start and exercise every seven days, on the day of the week and
at the time of day specifi ed. During this exercise period, the unit runs for approximately 12 minutes and then shuts down. Transfer of loads to the
generator output does not occur during the exercise cycle unless utility power is lost.
IF THE INSTALLER TESTS THE GENERATOR PRIOR TO INSTALLATION, PRESS THE “ENTER” BUTTON TO SKIP SETTING UP THE
EXERCISE TIMER
.
NOTE: The exerciser will operate only when the generator is placed in the AUTO mode and will not work unless this procedure is per-
formed. 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.
