Set 24 hr Start Volts DC - Starts the generator if the voltage drops below the setting for a consec-
utive 24 hour period. For example: If the voltage is set for 12.5 Volts DC, and house battery voltage
drops below 12.5 Volts for a continuous 24 hour period, the generator will start. This setting is helpful
when storing the motorhome.
CAUTION:
It could be several days before the generator starts from the 24 hour voltage setting.
Do not use this setting when storing the motorhome inside a storage building. Do not
park the motorhome near dry grass.
Set 2 hr start Volts DC - Starts the generator if the voltage drops below the setting for a consecu-
tive two hour period. For example: If the voltage is set for 12.0 Volts DC and house battery voltage
drops below 12.0 Volts for a continuous two hour period the generator will start. This voltage setting
is usually lower than the 24 hr start voltage setting. Primarily used when dry camping. An example
would be a light load on the house batteries over time. Voltage drops at relatively steady rate until
obtaining the preset voltage for two continuous hours.
Set 15 min start Volts DC - Same operating principle as the previous two menu items. This voltage
setting is used when applying heavy loads to the house batteries. An example: Using many lights and
the inverter to watch the television and operating the microwave. These types of loads rapidly deplete
battery reserves. Battery voltage drops quickly when applying heavy loads to the house batteries.
Read 30 sec LBCO start VDC - Used with the menu item Set Low Battery Cut Off VDC under
menu heading number “9 Inverter Setup.” If house battery voltage drops to this point, the inverter
waits 30 seconds before starting the generator.
NOTE:
This start setting overrides quiet time.
NOTE:
The generator will operate until the bulk and absorption cycles are complete if the gener-
ator started from one of the low battery settings.
Set Exercise period - Starts the generator regardless of any other setting. Periodically starts the
generator for maintenance reasons. The generator should be operated at least every 30 days to lubri-
cate the internal engine components.
Set Maximum run time h:m - Displays an error message if the generator operates longer than the
time period set. This is only a message. To cancel the message return to heading number “2 Generator
Mode.” Use the green button to scroll to Off. Setting the time and minute to 00:00 defeats this func-
tion.
Gen Starting Details:
