Operational Checks
NOTE: The following procedures require special tools and
skills. Contact an Independent Authorized Service Dealer
or an authorized service provider 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
and N2 terminals inside the generator control panel for
this test to be performed and pass.
Before starting, complete the following:
1. Verify that the generator is OFF. A red LED on the
control pad illuminates to confirm that the system is
in the OFF mode.
2. Verify that 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. Verify both auxiliary shutdown switches are in the
ON (I) position.
5. Check the fuel level, coolant level, and engine
lubricating oil level. See Check Fuel Level and
Fill, Check Coolant Level and Hoses, and Check
Lubricating Oil Level, respectively.
During initial start up only, the generator may exceed the
normal number of start attempts and experience an “over
crank” fault. This is due to accumulated air in the fuel
system during installation. Reset the control board and
restart up to two more times, if necessary. If unit fails to
start, contact an IASD for assistance.
Check Manual Transfer Switch Operation
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Electrical Checks
Complete electrical checks as follows:
1. Verify that the generator is OFF. A red LED on the
control pad illuminates to confirm that the system is
in the OFF mode.
2. Verify that 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. Turn on the utility power supply to the transfer
switch using the means provided (such as a utility
main line circuit breaker).

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.

DANGER
Electrocution. Do not manually transfer under load.
Disconnect transfer switch from all power sources
prior to manual transfer. Failure to do so will result
in death or serious injury, and equipment damage.
