ON/OFF
Push the rear panel POWER switch to the ON position to activate the unit. (Push the side of the
rocker switch indicated by “-”).
To remove power from the unit, push the POWER switch to the OFF position. (Push the side of
the rocker switch indicated by “o”).
Note that the POWER switch has no effect on the internal backup time keeping circuitry,
although POWER must be ON to charge the backup battery.
When power is first applied to the unit, a self-test and diagnostic procedure is performed.
During the several seconds this takes, the condition of the displays are indeterminate. Following
self test, the Versatile Display Function Menu, as shown in Figure 3.5.1, will be displayed on the
LCD Display. The LED Display will indicate Time-of-Year if the Generator is running. If
stopped, a LED test will be performed, and then day one will be displayed. Any other display
indicates a failure.
In units equipped with the Power On Translate option, the LCD Display will display the menu as
shown in Figure 3.5.2, and Translator time will appear on the LED Display.
