In the AUTO mode, the engine starts and runs once 
each wee

exercise cycle, the unit runs approximately 12 minutes 
and then shuts down. Transfer of loads to the generator 
does not occur unless utility power fails.
Activation and Startup
16 Owner’s Manual for Stationary Generators
Start and Run Engine
1. See Figure 3-5. Pull up  rubber flap covering fuse 
holder and verify installation of 7.5 amp fuse (A).
2. Move 
the Main Circuit Breaker switch down to the 
OFF (Open) position (B).
3. V
erify both auxiliary shutdown switches are ON (I). 
See Figure 3-6 for the locations.
4. Pr
ess MANUAL on the control panel (C) to start the 
engine. A blue LED illuminates to confirm that the 
system is in the MANUAL mode.
5. Allo
w  the  engine  to  run  until  it  reaches  normal 
operating temperature.
6. Pr
ess OFF on the control panel to stop the engine. 
A red LED illuminates to confirm that the system is

Operational Checks
NOTE:  The  following  procedures  require  special  tools 
and skills. Contact an IASD to perform these tasks.
Self Test
Upon power up, the controller goes through a system self 
test  which  checks  for  the  presence  of  utility  voltage  on 
the  DC  circuits.  This  is  done  to  prevent  damage  if  the 
installer  mistakenly  connects  AC  utility  power  sense 
wires  into  the  DC  terminal  block.  If  utility  voltage  is 
detected, the controller displays a warning message and 
locks  out  the  generator,  thereby  preventing  damage  to 
the  controller.  Remove  power  to  the  controller  to  clear 
this warning.
Utility voltage must be turned on and present at the N1 
an
d  N2  terminals  inside  the  generator  control  panel  for 
this test to be performed and pass.
Before starting, comp
lete the following:
1. V
erify the generator is OFF. A red LED on the con-
trol panel illuminates to confi
rm that the system is 
in the OFF mode.
2. V
erify  the  Main  Circuit  Breaker  switch  on  the 
generator  control  panel  is  in  the  OFF  (Open) 
position. 
3. T
urn off all circuit breakers/electrical loads that will 
be powered by the generator.
4. V
erify both auxiliary shutdown switches are ON (I). 
See Figure 3-6 for the locations.
5. Che
ck the coolant and engine lubricating oil levels. 
See Check Coolant Level and Hoses and Check 
Lubricating Oil Level and Drain Hose.
