4.8.1 Clock Setup
The Clock Setup menu will allow you to set the clock. The clock is important if
you are planning to use the event log (records all failures and warnings and
when they occurred) or the exerciser feature (starts the generator for a settable
period).

The GSC400 internal clock information can remain βin memoryβ for approximately
2 weeks when no DC power is supplied to the controller. Two week memory
storage is available in a completely charged controller clock. DC power is
required to be supplied continually to the GSC400 for approximately 1 hour to
allow a complete clock charge.
4.8.2 Basic Setup
The Basic Setup menu will allow the user to customize the basic features of the
GSC400 to their preference.
The Contrast Adjustment allows the user to adjust the contrast of the LCD.
The Page Roll Delay controls how long each group of parameters are displayed
in the RUN mode before displaying the next set of parameters.
The second line of the GSC400 LCD screen is usually dedicated to displaying
warnings, and events. The State Roll Delay determines how long the warning
or event message is displayed before moving on to the next message. Setting
the State Roll Delay to a large value may cause some warning or event
messages to not be displayed if the event or warning is of a short duration.
The Sleep Delay determines how long to wait after the last key press before
turning off the LCD backlighting. The Sleep Delay also controls the automatic
exit from the menu system. First the controller exits to the basic menu after the
first sleep delay, exits to the OFF mode after the second sleep delay, and finally
goes into sleep mode after the third sleep delay. The sleep delay does not work
in the RUN mode or during cranking.
