TEST SYSTEM Displays
The TEST SYSTEM displays (see Figure #3 TEST
SYSTEM Displays) are used by the installer to verify all
input are connected and operate, and to test run the
genset. After installation the TEST SYSTEM displays
can be used to verify correct operation or to assist in
troubleshooting the system. The various test displays
request a specific action from the operator and
acknowledges that the action has been correctly
observed.
To ensure an orderly process be sure the GENSET
MODE is MANUAL and all inputs are in the off state
before beginning the test. Meaning there are no
HVAC run requests, the ignition is off, the park brake
(or brake lights for a trailer) is off, and there is no shore
power connected.
SAFETY TEST Display
The SAFETY TEST display is used to verify the safety
input is operating correctly. The safety input may be
connected to the:
• Ignition: Input is connected to the vehicle
ignition system (motor homes or van
conversions).
• Brake: Brake light for all trailer, 5
th
wheel, and
pickup camper installations, or air brake on
diesel motor homes.
• Park: The park signal/neutral (transmission)
from motorized motor homes or van
conversions.
The safety type that is set is displayed.
To check proper operation, navigate to the SETUP &
INFO and press ENTER. Now go to the TEST
SYSTEM display and press ENTER again. SAFETY
TEST will be the first display, press ENTER. The
display will either say IGNITION, or BRAKE, or PARK,
ON & OFF. After the EC-30 sees the change of state
of the safety input it will display the safety type and ok
ENTER. Pressing ENTER will acknowledge its correct
operation and exit back to the SAFETY TEST display.
HVAC (RUN REQUEST) Display
The HVAC RUN REQUEST system is tested by
sequentially turning on and off each input. There may
be up to three inputs. From the TEST SYSTEM
display, press ENTER and then navigate to HVAC
RUN REQUEST. Press ENTER. The first display will
say TURN ON HVAC1. It makes no difference which
HVAC system is connected to which terminal. Simply
turn on one, and leave all others off. If the EC-30
detects the input, the display will change to say HVAC1
OK Turn Off. Now turn off the HVAC. The displays will
now ask that HVAC2 be turned on. Turn on the next
HVAC unit and follow the displayed instructions. This
process allows a quick test of all HVAC RUN
REQUEST inputs. If there is only one or two HVAC
inputs, use the UP/DOWN key to go to the last display
which is ENTER to Exit.
Run Gen Display
Before testing the genset be sure that the location
is safe for running the genset and that its
installation is completed. This test verifies that the
start, stop, and switched B+ signals between the EC-
30 and the genset are ok. Navigate to the display that
says ENTER to Run Gen. Pressing ENTER will begin
a start and stop sequence which can only be
interrupted by manually stopping the genset using the
STOP switch. The EC-30 will go through a complete
start and stop sequence and it will display its results as
the test is happening. When the test is complete the
display will say Gen Ok ENTER. Pressing ENTER will
exit back to the display that says ENTER to Run Gen.
To continue testing other system components use the
UP/DOWN key for the next display.
Testing Shore AC Present
This test verifies that the EC-30 can sense when AC
power is available from the utility grid. Before starting
this test be sure that the Shore AC is disconnected.
Turn off the AC breaker at its supply or unplug the
vehicle or trailer from the AC grid system. Do not do
this test with the genset running. Navigate to the
Shore AC Present display and press ENTER. The
display will say Turn On Shore AC. Now plug the
shore AC back in or turn the breaker on. The display
will change to read AC Ok ENTER. Press ENTER to
exit the test.
Exiting TEST SYSTEM
To exit TEST SYSTEM use the UP/DOWN key until
ENTER to EXIT is displayed. Press ENTER and press
DOWN once and ENTER to Exit will be displayed.
Pressing ENTER will exit to the Main Display.
