Automatic test
The automatic test is a periodic test performed at set intervals (which can be defined during
setup), if the system is in automatic mode and the function has been enabled.
The typical application is to check the efficiency of a generating set used as an emergency
power source. It is possible to specify on which days of the week and at what times (hours /
minutes) the test can be performed. For detailed information on the programming, see the
menu P09 - Automatic test (Page 136).
After starting, the generating set runs for a programmable period of time, after which it stops.
Before the generator starts, the message "T.AUT" is shown on the display.
It is possible to select whether the test is to be performed
● without load changeover to the alternative line source
● with load changeover or
● with load simulation
.
Note
Cooling time
In the automatic test the cooling time of the
generator is not taken into consideration.
