Cold Smart Start
The Cold Smart Start feature is factory-enabled, and can
be disabled in the EDIT menu. Generator will monitor
ambient temperature and adjust its warm-up delay
accordingly when Cold Smart Start is enabled. If ambient
temperature is below a fixed temperature upon startup in
AUTO mode (per chart below), generator will warm up for
30 seconds, allowing engine to warm before load is
applied. If ambient temperature is at or above fixed tem-
perature, generator will start up with normal warm-up
delay of six seconds. See Cold Smart Start section in
owner’s manual.
Setting The Exercise Timer
This generator is equipped with a configurable exercise
timer. There are two settings for the exercise timer:
• Day/Time: Generator will start and exercise for
period defined, on day of week and at time of day
specified. During this exercise period, unit runs for
five minutes on all models, and then shuts down.
• Exercise frequency (how often exercise will
take place): Can be set to Weekly, Biweekly, or
Monthly. If Monthly is selected, day of the month
must be selected from 1–28. Generator will exer-
cise on that day each month. Transfer of loads to
generator output does not occur during exercise
cycle unless utility power is lost.
NOTE: If installer tests generator prior to installation,
press ENTER button to skip setting up exercise timer.
NOTE: The exercise feature will operate only when gen-
erator is placed in AUTO mode, and will not work unless
this procedure is performed. If Wi-Fi is not enabled, cur-
rent date/time must be reset every time power is
removed from controller via the controller fuse and T1 cir-
cuit and/or battery connections.
NOTE: If Wi-Fi is enabled, exercise timer will automati-
cally adjust for Daylight Saving Time.
NOTE: If using Wi-Fi feature, exercise time will be set to
a random weekday during daylight hours. This setting
can be changed later. See Wi-Fi manual for details.
Before Initial Startup
NOTE: The unit has been run and tested at the factory
prior to being shipped and does not require any type of
break-in.
NOTE: The unit comes filled with 5W-30 weight organic
oil from the factory. Check oil level and add appropriate
viscosity and amount of oil if necessary.
Install Wizard
See Figure 7-3. The Install Wizard immediately appears
upon initial startup. It allows user to input generator set-
tings.
The Install Wizard starts every time AC and DC power
are removed and reapplied to generator.
Activation is complete
when this screen is
displayed. Follow
