Compare this 30 kW & 45 kW control panel illustration with your generator
to familiarize yourself with the location of these important controls:
System Control Panel
A - Circuit Breaker
— Protects the system from shorts and
other over-current conditions. Must be
ON
to supply
power to the automatic transfer switch.
B - SET EXERCISE
— Used to set the exercise cycle start
time and day-of-the-week. Exercise cycle only occurs in
AUTO
mode.
C - MANUAL OVER-RIDE
— With system switch in
AUTO
position, push the manual over-ride button for six
seconds to start the generator. To turn off the generator,
push and hold the manual over-ride button until
engine stops.
D - 15 Amp Fuse
— Protects the home 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 15 Amp fuse.
E - 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.
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 home 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.
