5.9.1 Clock Setup
The Clock Setup menu will allow you to set the clock. The clock is important if you are
planning to use the event log (records all failures and warnings and when they occurred)
or the exerciser feature (starts the generator for a settable period).

The GSC400 internal clock information can remain “in memory” for approximately 2
weeks when no DC power is supplied to the controller. Two week memory storage is
available in a completely charged controller clock. DC power is required to be supplied
continually to the GSC400 for approximately 1 hour to allow a complete clock charge.
5.9.2 Basic Setup
The Basic Setup menu will allow the user to customize the basic features of the GSC400
to their preference.
The
Contrast Adjustment allows the user to adjust the contrast of the LCD.
The
Page Roll Delay controls how long each group of parameters are displayed in the
RUN state (i.e. when the engine/generator is running) before displaying the next set of
parameters.
The second line of the GSC400 LCD screen is usually dedicated to displaying warnings,
and events. The
State Roll Delay determines how long the warning or event message is
displayed before moving on to the next message . Setting the State Roll Delay to a
larger value may cause some warning or event messages to not be displayed if the
event or warning is of a short duration.
The
Sleep Delay determines how long to wait after the last key press before turning off
the LCD backlighting. The Sleep Delay also controls the automatic exit from the menu
system. First the controller exits to the basic menu after the first sleep delay, exits to the
Off state after the second sleep delay, and finally goes into sleep mode after the third
sleep delay. The sleep delay does not work in the Run Mode or during cranking.
