System Control Panel
Compare this control panel illustration with your generator to familiarize yourself with the location of these important controls:
A ‑ SET EXERCISE — Used to set the exercise cycle start
time and day-of-the-week. Exercise cycle only occurs in
AUTO mode.
B ‑ Circuit Breaker — Protects the system from shorts and
other over-current conditions. Must be ON to supply
power to the Automatic Transfer Switch.
C ‑ 15 Amp Fuse — Protects the generator DC control
circuits. If the fuse has ‘blown’ (melted open) or was
removed, the engine cannot crank or start. Replace the
fuse using only an identical ATO 15A fuse.
D ‑ System Switch — This two-position switch is the most
important control on the system and is used as follows:
• “ AUTO ” position is the normal operating position. If a
utility power outage is sensed, the system will start the
generator. When utility power is restored, AUTO lets
the engine stabilize internal temperatures, shuts off the
generator, and waits for the next utility power outage.
• “ OFF ” position turns off running generator, prevents
unit from starting and resets any detected faults.
E ‑ MANUAL OVER‑RIDE — With system switch in AUTO
position, push the manual override switch to start the
generator. To turn off the generator, push and hold the
manual override switch again until engine stops.
F ‑ Digital Display — Displays the total number of hours
the generator has been running and fault codes. Used
to schedule maintenance tasks and for troubleshooting
operational problems with the generator. A constant
number displayed indicates the total hours of operation.
Fault conditions will flash “FC” followed by a fault code
number. All fault conditions are described in Fault
Detection System .
