In AUTO, the engine starts and runs once each week at
the t

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

Starting and Running Engine
Proceed as follows to start and run the engine:
1. See Figure 3-5. Pull up rubber flap covering fuse
holder and verify insta
llation of 7.5 amp fuse (A).

2. Set
the main line circuit breaker (MLCB) (generator
disconnect) to OFF (OPEN) (B).
3. V
erify both auxiliary shutdown switches are ON (I).
See Figure 3-6 for locations.
4. Pr
ess MANUAL on control panel (C) to start
engine. A blue LED illuminates to verify system is
in MANUAL.
5. Allo
w engine to run until it reaches normal operat-
ing temperature.
Press OFF on the control panel to stop the engine. A red
LE
D illuminates to verify system is OFF.
Operational Checks
NOTE: The following procedures require special tools
and skills. Contact an IASD to perform these tasks.
Self Test
Upon startup, controller goes through a system self test
which checks for utility voltage on the DC circuits. This is
done to prevent damage if installer mistakenly connects
AC utility power sense wires into DC terminal block. If
utility voltage is detected, controller displays a warning
message and locks out the generator, preventing dam-
age to the controller. Remove power to controller to clear
this w
arning.
Utility voltage must be turned on and present at N1 and
N2
terminals inside generator control panel for this test to
be performed and pass.
Complete the following b
efore starting:
1. V
erify generator is OFF. A red LED on control
panel illuminates to verify system is off.
2. V
erify generator MLCB (generator disconnect) is
OFF (OPEN).
3. T
urn off all circuit breakers/electrical loads to be
powered by the generator.
4. V
erify both auxiliary shutdown switches are ON (I).
5. Ch
eck coolant and engine lubricating oil levels.
See Inspecting Coolant Level and Hoses and
Checking Lubricating Oil Level and Drain Hose.
During initial startup only, generator may exceed normal
n
umber of start attempts and experience an “over crank”
fault. This is due to accumulated air in the fuel system
during installation. Reset control board and restart up to
two more times, if necessary. If unit fails to start, contact
an IASD for assistance.
