4-5.1.4 RC7GS Setup Menu
The RC7GS (Generator Start) features several additional setup menu selections related to automatic
generator starting, stopping and generator quiet time. To access the setup menu hold the up and
down arrows down together till you hear a chirp. You are now in the setup menu.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Your coach is delivered with specific, initial settings set up on your
inverter. These were specifically designed for this coach and in the event of a loss of power
these settings must be restored. See following chart as a guide for returning settings to their
original setup.
4-5.1.4.1 Set Clock
Some generator functions are based on the time of day. The clock must be properly set to ensure the
programmed function will perform at the correct time. The clock uses 24-hour time and ranges from
00:00 to 23:59.
To access the Set Clk menu, scroll down past the generator menus by pressing the DOWN arrow. A
flashing cursor appears below (and behind) the hour (H) or minute (M) characters in the display.
Every eight seconds the cursor alternates positions. When the cursor is under the hour digit, press
the Settings push button to increment the hours to the current hour (00 to 23). When the cursor is
under the minute’s digit, press the Settings push button to increment the minutes to the current
minute (0 to 59). Press and hold the Settings push button to quickly increment the time, or press and
release to increment the selected digit by one unit at a time.
4-5.1.4.2 Select Genset
After setting the clock, press the UP arrow once to access the Select Genset menu. Select the type
and model of the generator (Powertech 12KW) by pressing the Settings push button (RIGHT arrow)
until the genset’s name and model is displayed in the LCD readout.
CAUTION: Other 30 through 80 are reserved for future use and must not be selected.
4-5.1.4.3 Generator Auto Start
After setting the clock and selecting a generator, set the parameters for automatically starting the
genset based upon a battery voltage or State-of-Charge (SOC). Press the UP arrow and scroll
through the menus to access the Generator Auto Start menu. Press the Settings push button (RIGHT
arrow) until the required setting is in the LCD display. The required setting should read battery
voltage.
NOTE: The Auto Gen parameters cannot be set unless the clock is set-up first.
