Unloaded exercise. The generator set runs, but the
electrical load is not transferred. Press and hold the
Exercise button for approximately 3 seconds until the
GEN Available LED flashes to start an unloaded
exercise and set the time and date of the next exercise
run. The GEN available LED continues to flash
throughout the exercise run to indicate an unloaded
exercise. The generator set stops automatically after 20
minutes.
Loaded Exercise. The generator set runs and the ATS
transfers the electrical load to the generator set. Hold
the button for at least 6 seconds until the GEN available
and GEN position LEDs flash to start a loaded exercise
and set the time and date of the next exercise run. The
GEN available and GEN position LEDs continue to flash
throughout the exercise run to indicate a loaded
exercise. After 20 minutes, the ATS transfers the load
back to normal. The generator set stops automatically
after the engine cooldown time delay.
Resetting the Exerciser. After the exerciser has been
set, pressing and holding the Exercise button to start an
exercise run at a different time resets the exerciser to
that new time and day.
Clearing the Exercise Setting. If it is necessary to
clear the exercise setting on the ATS controller, press
and hold both the Exercise and Test buttons for at least 6
seconds.
Exercise with the RDC/DC or RDC2/DC2 Generator
Set Controller
Note: When the RDT transfer switch is used with the
generator sets equipped with the Kohlerr Model
RDC, DC, RDC2, or DC2 controller, it is possible
to have two exercise settings (one set at the
generator set controller, and one set at the ATS
controller). If the exercise times overlap, the ATS
exercise setting takes priority.
The RDC/DC and RDC2/DC2 generator set controllers
allow the programming of an unloaded exercise at the
generator set controller.
If the RDT transfer switch i s used with a generator set
with one of the controllers listed above and the unloaded
exercise is set on the generator set controller, clearing
theexerciseontheRDTATScontrolleris
recommended.
