Owner’s Manual for 5.6 kVA PowerPact™ 11
Alarm Response Procedures
The generator is protected by a series of sensors that will
detect an Alarm/Warning condition and alert the owner/
operator of the condition via the Control Panel display.
When certain alarm conditions are detected, the
generator will shut down.
NOTE: Unless properly trained to clear and correct
Warning and Alarm conditions, contact the nearest
Independent Authorized Service Dealer or Trained
Technician.
Clearing an Alarm/Warning Condition
To clear an alarm or warning condition from the Control
Panel, press the OFF button. Press OFF button again.
The flashing or solid indicator LED will turn off.
NOTE: Clearing a code will not correct the problem. It
will simply turn off the LED indicating that told you that a
problem occurred. The problem indicated must be
diagnosed and corrected to prevent a re-occurring alarm
condition.
NOTE: Removing or failure of the 7.5 Amp ATO
®
fuse
will turn off all the panel LEDs. Replacement of the fuse
will initiate the LED self test.
Setting the Exercise Timer
This generator is equipped with an exercise timer. Once it
is set, the generator will start and exercise every seven
days, on the day of the week and at the time of day this
procedure was initiated. During this exercise period, the
unit runs for approximately 12 minutes and then shuts
down. Transfer of loads to the generator output does not
occur during the exercise cycle unless utility power is lost.
1. Place the generator in the AUTO mode.
2. Hold the SET EXERCISE Button for 3 seconds.
The generator will start, run an exercise cycle and
confirm the setting.
3. The exercise time is now established. The
generator will exercise each week at this time.
To CHANGE the exercise time once it has been set, hold
the SET EXERCISE button on the generator for three (3)
seconds at the time you wish the new exercise time to
take place. The exercise timer does not correct for
daylight savings time.
NOTE: The exerciser will only work in the AUTO mode
and will default to exercise weekly at the time the Control
Panel was last powered ON unless this procedure is
performed. The exercise function will need to be reset
every time the 12 volt battery and T1 or T2 power to the
generator are disconnected and then reconnected, or
when the fuse is removed and T1 or T2 power is
removed from the generator, or both.
Battery Charger
NOTE: The battery charger is integrated into the control
panel.
The battery charger operates as a Smart Charger that:
• verifies output is continually optimized to promote
maximum battery life.
• verifies that charging levels are safe.
NOTE: Battery Problem LED is illuminated when the
battery needs service.
Manual Transfer Operation
Prior to automatic operation, manually exercise the
transfer switch to verify that there is no interference with
proper operation of the mechanism. Manual operation of
the transfer switch is required if electronic operation
should fail.
Transfer to Generator Power Source
1. Verify generator is in the OFF mode.
2. Set the main circuit breaker (Generator
Disconnect) to OFF or OPEN.
3. Turn off the utility power supply to the transfer
switch using the means provided (such as a utility
main line circuit breaker).
4. Use the manual transfer handle (A in Figure 3-4 )
inside the transfer switch to move the main
contacts to the STANDBY position (loads
connected to the standby power source, B in
Figure 3-4 ).
5. To crank and start the engine, press the control
panel MANUAL button.
