OPERATIONAL TESTS

SETTING THE EXERCISE TIME
This Generator is equipped with an exercise timer. Once it is
set, the Generator will start and exercise every seven days, on
the day of the week and at the time of day specified. During
this exercise period, the unit runs for approximately 12 minutes
and then shuts down. Transfer of load to the Generator output
does not occur during the exercise cycle unless Utility power
is lost.
After the Activation process has been completed, an installation
wizard will prompt the user to set the minimum settings to
operate. These settings are simple: “Current Time/Date” and
“Exercise Day/Time”.
The exercise settings can be changed at any time via the
“EDIT” menu (See Section 4.1 “Menu Navigation”). If the 12
volt battery is disconnect or the fuse removed, the Installation
Assistant will operate upon power restoration. The only
difference being that the display will only prompt the customer
for the current time and date.
If the installer tests the Generator prior to installation, press the
“ENTER” key to avoid setting the exercise time. This will ensure
that the customer will still be prompted to enter an exercise time
when the unit is first powered up.
The exerciser will only work in the AUTO mode and will not work
unless this procedure is performed. The current date/time will
need to be reset every time the 12 volt battery is disconnected
and then reconnected, and/or when the fuse is removed.
ACTIVATION PROCESS
When battery power is applied to the Generator during the
installation process, the controller will light up. However, the
Generator still needs to be activated before it will automatically
run in the event of a power outage.
Activating the Generator is a simple, one time process that is
guided by the controller screen prompts. Once the product is
activated, the controller screen will not prompt you again, even
if you disconnect the Generator battery.
The five digit activation code can be obtained by two methods.
The first is via the internet at www.activategen.com. The
second is by dialing 1-888-9ACTIVATE (922-8482). In both
cases, a passcode is issued to enter in the controller. See
Figure 162 (next page) for detailed instructions of the process.
