5.3 "Exercise" Screen
When installing an RA series transfer switch, follow these steps to configure the
Exercise mode in the generator set's local display or remote display.
NOTICE
Exercise settings need to be reset whenever battery power is lost or
disconnected, or the control has entered “sleep” mode.
NOTICE
Sleep mode is entered after 30 minutes without utility or generator set power
to preserve battery energy since the battery charger will not have AC power.
The 30-minute timer is reset with any button press on the display.
To set up the exercise function:
1. From the Main screen, select Menu.
2. Use the arrow keys to highlight Exercise. Select the Enter key.
NOTICE
If the time and date have not been set, a pop-up will appear that says,
"Set Valid Date and Time". The exercise schedule references the
generator set date and time so it must be set accurately to be properly
configured.
3. Use the arrow keys to enable or disable the Crank Exercise feature. Select
the Next key to go to the Exercise Time field. See the Exercise Sequences
section in the operator manual for more information.
NOTICE
When the Crank Exercise feature is enabled, an exercise command will
cause the engine starter to engage and rotate the engine, but will not
allow the engine to start. This feature allows the control system to
monitor critical generator set systems without running the engine. When
Crank Exercise is enabled, the generator set's exercising will alternate
between the Crank Exercise sequence and the standard exercise
sequence (that is, engine running) at scheduled times.
4. Use the arrow keys to set how long the generator set will exercise (from 1 to 20
minutes). Select the Next key to go to the Exercise field. The Exercise Sched
screen appears.
5. Use the arrow keys to set how often the generator set will exercise. The
frequency selections are:
• Weekly: will exercise the generator set on every occurrence of the selected
day
