Setting the Exercise Timer
This generator is equipped with a configurable exercise
timer. Configuration can be performed directly at the con-
trol panel or though the Mobile Link
®
application. There
are two settings for the exercise timer:
Day/Time: Generator will start and exercise for period
defined, on day of week and at time of day specified.
During this exercise period, unit runs for approximately
five minutes and then shuts down.
Exercise frequency: Exercise frequency can be set to
Weekly, Biweekly, or Monthly. If Monthly is selected, day
of month must be selected from 1–28. Generator will
exercise on that day each month. Transfer of loads to
generator output does not occur during exercise cycle
unless utility power is lost.
NOTE: If Wi-Fi is enabled, exercise timer will automati-
cally adjust for Daylight Saving Time.
NOTE: The exercise feature will operate only when gen-
erator is in AUTO, and will not work unless this procedure
is performed. If Wi-Fi is NOT enabled, current date/time
will need to be reset every time the 12 volt battery is dis-
connected and then reconnected, and/or when the fuse
is removed.
Low Speed Exercise (Quiet-Test™) Profile: Unit will
run at operating speed for approximately five seconds,
then drop speed to prepare for Quiet-Test. Speed will
drop to predetermined Quiet-Test speed after approxi-
mately 40 seconds and continue to run until Quiet-Test is
complete, a total of five minutes.
Table 3-1 details exercise information and programming
options for all home standby generators.
NOTE: If Quiet-Test is disabled, generator will exercise
at the rated rpm.
Battery Charger
IMPORTANT NOTE: Contact an IASD if controller
screen displays “CHARGER MISSING AC.”
NOTE: Battery charger is integrated into the control
module in all models.
The battery charger operates as a smart charger which
verifies:
• output is continually optimized to promote maxi-
mum battery life.
• charging levels are safe.
NOTE: A warning is displayed on LCD when battery
needs service.
NOTE: Do not use external battery chargers.

switch to verify there is no interference with correct oper-
ation of the mechanism. Manual operation of transfer
switch is required if electronic operation should fail.
