Automatic periodic 'Test run'
This feature allows automatic generator starts, periodically, as a 'test run'.
•
Test run interval:
Set the interval between test runs.
•
Skip test run if has been running for:
The test will be skipped if during the test run interval the generator ran for at least as
long as it would on a 'test run'.
•
Test interval start date:
The 'test run' interval counter will start from the date entered here. No test runs will be carried out until
the date set here has been reached.
•
Start time:
Time of day at which the generator 'test run' will commence.
•
Test duration:
Duration of the test.
•
Run until battery is fully charged:
Enabling this feature will cause the 'test run' to continue until the battery is fully charged -
instead of for a fixed amount of time.
Manual-Start Feature
Use the Manual start feature to remotely start the generator. You can also press Start when the generator is already running -
doing so will ensure that the generator won't automatically stop when the condition which caused it to start has been satisfied. In
other words, the Manual start feature will override the auto-stop parameters.
There are two ways to start the generator manually:
Using the Manual start menu:
Go to: Generator start and stop → Manual start; and then toggle the graphic to start the
generator.
Using the GX 'Home page' Generator graphic:
Press the top-left button on the CCGX, or Color Control GX remote console and
engage the Generator page. Then press the center button. You must first choose how you wish to stop the generator - manually,
or by entering a run-time. Once you've made your selection a five-second countdown will begin during which you can abort the
manual-start by pressing the center button.
WARNING:
If the generator is started manually (remotely) without using the stop timer, it will run until the 'Off' button has also
been manually toggled.
The stop timer is available to both methods of manually remote-starting the generator, and using it will ensure that the generator
will auto-stop …and will not be inadvertently forgotten.
Note that stopping the generator manually can only be achieved when no un-met 'run' condition is active. If you wish to force a
generator-stop you must first disable the function which is keeping it running - or disable the Generator start and stop function.
