Generator Start Mode
Note A value can be entered faster by pressing the Up Arrow or Down Arrow key, and
holding it down until the desired value is displayed. Holding the button down
causes the numbers to advance much faster. The display moves by 5 Watt
increments, then 10 Watt increments, and then by 100 Watt increments. When you
release the button it causes the incrementing speed to be reset, and it reverts back
to 5 Watt increments.
This value is used to determine the response speed of the
ALM algorithm. When the power output from the
BACKUP1
SOURCE surge exceeds the power rating (which was set
earlier in this section) for the specified
GEN SRGE OVERLD
TIME
(a value in the [0 - 600] SEC range), then load shedding
will be activated.
Note If you reduce the surge overload time it reduces the likelihood that the generator
will be overloaded, but it increases the chance load shedding will occur.
If you increase the surge overload time it increases the likelihood that the generator
will be overloaded, but decreases the chance that load shedding will occur.
For “inverter generators”, set the time to zero (0).
This display is used to select either
MANUAL, if you have a
conventional generator that is started manually, or
AUTO,
which is selected if you want to take advantage of the UTS
remote automatic start/stop feature. The default is MANUAL.
The next message asks you if the generator (
GEN) is
OUTDOORS. APC’s UTS Generator Hard Wiring Interface
Kit (UTSHW) is provided to allow the generator to be plugged
in outside of the house.
