38 Installation Guidelines For Australian 50 Hz Air-Cooled Generators
Cold Smart Start
The Cold Smart Start feature is enabled at the factory,
and can be disabled in the EDIT menu. When Cold Smart
Start is enabled, the generator will monitor ambient tem-
perature and adjust its warm-up delay accordingly. If the
ambient temperature is below a fixed temperature upon
startup in AUTO mode (per the chart below), the genera-
tor will warm up for 30 seconds, allowing the engine to
warm before the load is applied. If the ambient tempera-
ture is at or above the fixed temperature, the generator
will start up with the normal warm-up delay of six sec-
onds. See the Cold Smart Start section of the owner’s
manual.
Cold Smart Start Set Point = 10 °C (50 °F)
Setting The Exercise Timer
This generator is equipped with a configurable exercise
timer. There are two settings for the exercise timer:
• Day/Time: The generator will start and exercise for
the period defined, on the day of the week and at
the time of day specified. During this exercise
period, the unit runs for five minutes and then shuts
down.
• Exercise frequency (how often the exercise will
take place): Can be set to WEEKLY, BIWEEKLY,
or MONTHLY. If MONTHLY is selected, the day of
the month must be selected from 1–28. The
generator will exercise on that day each month.
Transfer of loads to the generator output does not
occur during the exercise cycle unless utility power
is lost.
NOTE: If the installer tests the generator prior to installa-
tion, press the ENTER button to skip setting up the exer-
cise timer.
NOTE: The exercise feature will operate only when the
generator is placed in the AUTO mode, and will not work
unless this procedure is performed.
If Wi-Fi is not enabled, the current date/time will need to
be reset every time power is removed from the controller
via the controller fuse and T1 circuit and/or battery con-
nections.
NOTE: The exercise timer does not automatically adjust
for Daylight Savings Time. If Wi-Fi is enabled, the exer-
cise timer will automatically adjust for Daylight Savings
Time.
NOTE: If using the Wi-Fi feature, the exercise time will
be set to a random weekday during daylight hours. This
setting can be changed later. Refer to the Wi-Fi manual
for details.
Before Initial Start-up
NOTE: The unit has been run and tested at the factory
prior to being shipped and does not require any type of
break-in.
NOTE: The unit comes filled with 5W-30 weight organic
oil from the factory. Check the oil level and add the
appropriate viscosity and amount if necessary.
Installation Wizard
The installation wizard immediately appears upon power-
up. It allows the user to input generator settings. See
Figure 7-2.
The installation wizard will start every time AC and DC
power are removed and reapplied to the generator.
Interconnect System Self Test Feature
This controller will go through a system self test at
powerup, which will check for the presence of utility volt-
age on the DC circuits. This is done to prevent damage if
the installer incorrectly connects AC utility power sense
wires into the DC terminal block. The controller will dis-
play a warning message and lock out the generator, pre-
venting damage to the controller, if utility voltage is
detected at the DC terminal block. Power to the controller
must be removed to clear this warning.
Utility voltage must be turned on and present at the N1
and N2 terminals inside the generator control panel for
this test to be performed and pass.
NOTE: All appropriate panels must be in place during
any operation of the generator. This includes operation
by a servicing technician, while conducting troubleshoot-
ing procedures.

CAUTION
Engine damage. Verify proper type and quantity of
engine oil prior to starting engine. Failure to do so
could result in engine damage.
