Exercise Per
Full name Set Exercise Period (in days).
Purpose “Exercise Per” sets the minimum time interval between each running of
the generator. If the generator has not been run within this time frame, the
Xantrex XW AGS will start the generator to “exercise” it.
The time interval defined by the Exercise Period setting begins with the
last time the generator was run for any reason, not with the last time the
Xantrex XW AGS exercised the generator.
For example, setting an exercise period of 30 days would start the
generator if it had not been run at all for 30 days.
Dependencies The “Exercise Per” trigger requires parameters to be set in the “Exercise
Dur” and “Exercise Time” menu items.
Considerations Generators need to run regularly in order to maintain mechanical health
and performance. If the generator isn’t needed and doesn’t run, it is
recommended that an Exercise period be set to keep the generator in
good working condition.
If the generator runs frequently throughout the year, it may not need to be
exercised. In that case, set the “Exercise Per” trigger to 0.
Values Default
0 (Off), 1day to 250days (increments of 1day) 21days
Important: Consult the generator manual or a service representative
from the generator’s manufacturer for the recommended exercise period.
