7. Startup and Configuration 1-2014
NOTICE
Before leaving the site, if the genset is ready to be placed in service, set the control switch to the
REMOTE position to provide automatic standby power.
7.3 Fuel Solenoid - First Startup
First Start: Upon first connection of the fuel, especially in LP systems, it is possible for a spike
of pressure greater than the operating strength of the fuel solenoid to pass through the main
regulator and to lock the solenoid into an inoperable position. This issue can be reduced by
using a two-stage regulator at the tank.
If the situation occurs, close the main valve at the tank and vent the fuel from the line at the
tank. After reconnecting the lines, start the crank cycle at the genset and then turn on the fuel at
the tank while the engine is cranking. Multiple crank attempts may be required to purge the fuel
line depending on the length of the run.
7.4 Generator Set Configuration
The operator panel has a menu with four generator set/transfer switch parameters that must be
configured for the installation.
To configure the generator set:
1. Press the MENU button on the home screen.
2. Press and hold the blank (far left, solid black) button on the menu screen for at least 5
seconds to go to the Config Menu.
3. Press the up or down arrow button on the Config Menu screen to select Generator Config.
4. Press Enter on the Config Menu to go to the Generator Config screen.
5. Press the NEXT button on the Generator Config Menu screen to select the Config,
Frequency or Rating field.
6. Press the up or down arrow button to increase or decrease the configuration parameter.
a. Config: Select appropriate configuration (depending on model and fuel) from the table
shown below.
b. Frequency: Select 60 Hz or 50 Hz.
c. Rating: Rating will be filled in, based on the configuration selected. This value can be
lowered in order to correctly de-rate for high altitude or hot climates. (Selecting the
correct Amps value will also allow the correct genset load to be displayed on the
Operator Panel.
d. Press the BACK button to save the setting and return to the home screen.
