Setting Up and Testing the Energy Command 30
Overview
This section describes how to Setup and Test the EC-
30. Before using the EC-30 for the first time check to
be sure that the unit is setup appropriately for the
system. The character < is used to indicate all default
values. Also see Figures #1-4.
Setting GEN TYPE and Safety Type Is
Required for Automatic Operation
The very first time the EC-30 is turned on (power
applied) an initial setup procedure begins. The EC-30
requires setup of both the GEN TYPE and Safe Type
prior to allowing automatic operation.
The genset type also sets the Service Interval for
service messages and critical automatic starting
parameters. The first service interval is 50 hours for all
models. See SETUP GENSET to change the genset
type after first power up.
