SW Series Inverter/Charger
Part No. 2031-5
Rev. B: Sept 1, 1999
Set Exercise
period days
30
All models
Range: 00 to 255
Sets a maximum number of days allowed between operation of the generator. When an internal counter
reaches the number of days set, the generator will be started at the END QUIET TIME menu item setting.
The run time is fixed at 10 minutes. If the generator is manually or automatically operated for 5 minutes at
any time during this period, then this counter will reset and the period will start again. If this menu item is
set for 1 day, then the generator will start everyday at this time. If the period is set to zero, then the
exercise system will be disabled. If power is present at the AC1 input, the generator will not be connected
to during the exercising operating period.
Set Maximum run
time h:m
08:00
All Models
Range: 00:00 to 23:50
This setting provides an indication that the generator operated excessively after it was automatically or
manually started. Once this time period is reached, the error LED will flash and a GEN MAX RUN TIME
ERROR condition will be indicated in the GENERATOR MODE (2) menu heading. This error is an
advisory only error and does not stop the generator and the inverter/charger will continue to operate
normally. While the error condition exists, the generator can be started manually or automatically. To reset
the error condition, press the green GEN MENU button to select OFF, then the AUTO or ON. Setting the
time to 00:00 defeats this function.
INFORMATION DISPLAY
The following information is displayed as additional Menu Items.
Set Max Run Time to 0 to defeat. Set exercise to 0 to defeat. See menu 9 to set LBCO.
GEN STARTING DETAILS (13) MENU HEADING
Set RY7 Function
GlowStop Run
All Models
Allows Relay 7 (RY7) to provide two different generator start routines. The relay labeled RY7 is used to
either provide a STOP signal or a RUN signal. It can also be used to provide a GLOW signal on diesel
generators with glowplugs. Note that the right side choice, RUN, is the default.
When RUN is selected as the function of the RY7 relay, the RY7 COM and RY7 N.O. contacts remain closed
while the generator is running. The RY7 N.C. (normally closed) contact is open (not connected to the common
terminal) while the generator is running. When the generator is off, the RY7 N.C. terminal is connected to the
RY7 COM terminal. This configuration is useful for starting a two wire (auto crank) type generator.
When GLOWSTOP is selected as the function of the RY7 relay, the RY7 COM and RY7 N.O. contacts
remain open while the generator is running. The contacts close only when it is time for the generator to be
stopped, then re-open. This is useful for generators that require a stop signal to shut down the generator.
The GLOWSTOP setting can also be used for diesel generators. This relay can be used to provide both
the GLOW and STOP signals. When this is done the generator will be given both GLOW and STOP
signals before cranking and when stopping.
Set Gen warmup
seconds
60
All Models
Range: 16 to 255
Sets the number of seconds the generator is allowed to warm up before the load is connected and the
battery charger started. If the generator is located in a cold location (below freezing), a longer setting may
be required.
