2.3.8 Automatic Operation with Other Transfer Switches
If a transfer switch other than the Model RXT (such as a Kohler Model RDT) is used, the engine start contacts from the ATS
must be connected to engine start leads 3 and 4 on the generator set.
The controller must be in AUTO mode to respond to remote start/stop signals from an ATS or remote switch. Press the AUTO
button to put the controller into automatic mode.
Automatic Start
The engine start contacts on the ATS close to signal the generator set to start, and remain closed while the generator set is
running.
Automatic Stop
The engine start contacts on the ATS open to signal the generator set to stop.
2.4 Exercise
The RDC2 controller can be set to automatically run the generator set at the same time and day each week. Weekly, bi- weekly,
or new monthly exercise is required to keep the engine and alternator in good operating condition.
Three exercise modes are available for all RCA models: unloaded cycle with system diagnostics, unloaded full speed, and
loaded full speed (requires an RXT ATS). An additional 90-second EcoExercise cycle is available for the 26RCA/L. The exercise
modes are described in more detail in the following sections. A loaded exercise can be set at the RDC2 controller only if a Model
RXT transfer switch is connected.
Note:
With transfer switches other than the Model RXT, it is possible to have two exercise settings (one unloaded exercise set at the
generator set controller, and another exercise set at the ATS controller). If the exercise times overlap, the ATS exercise setting
takes priority.
If a transfer switch other than the Model RXT is used, refer to the instructions provided with the transfer switch to set a loaded
exercise at the ATS, if desired.
2.4.1 Setting the Exerciser
When power is applied to the RDC2 controller (that is, when the battery is connected), you will be prompted to set the date and
time, select a language, and then to set the exerciser.
The first setting will flash. Press the Up and Down arrow buttons to change the setting. Press Select to save the setting and
move on to the next. See the Changing Settings section for more detailed instructions to change settings on the RDC2. See
the Setting the Exerciser section for more detailed instructions to set the exerciser or change the exercise settings.
