GSET
In the GSET screen, a long push will manually
change the state of the generator output. The
GEN indicator at the bottom of the screen is
visible when the generator function wants the
generator to be running. Note: the Generator
will not turn on during the ‘quiet time’, if
selected. (see below)
GMOD
The generator can operate in four different
modes. The generator mode is selected in the
GMOD screen and can be 0-6.
Quiet time: In modes 0,1 & 2, the generator is
not allowed to operate from 9pm until 9am so as
to enforce a ‘quiet time’.
Modes 4-6 are the same as modes 0-2 except
that there is no quiet time.
Note - do not confuse the GSET described in Figure
2A with the screen of the same name described in
Section 7.5.2. which sets the G terminal function.
GEXD (Generator Exercise)
To prevent the generator from seizing up, it
is good practice to exercise the generator
periodically. The Dingo supports this with an
Quiet Time M* No Quiet Time

Mode# Description
0. Turn on when battery voltage falls to G
ON for GDEL minutes. Turn off when the
voltage rises to GOFF for GDEL minutes.
Quiet time applies.
1. Turn on when the State of Charge (SOC%)
falls to G ON % of the battery capacity.
Turn off when the voltage rises to GOFF
for GDEL minutes. Quiet time applies.
2. Turn on when SOC % falls to G ON%.
Turn off when SOC% rises to GOFF%.
(GOFF% can be set to greater than 100% to
allow some overcharge.) Quiet time applies.
3. Manual start. When started (in the GSET
screen) the generator will run for GRUN hours.
4.
No quiet time.
Turn on when battery
voltage falls to G ON for GDEL minutes.
Turn off when the voltage rises to GOFF
for GDEL minutes.
5.
No quiet time.
Turn on when the State
of Charge (SOC%) falls to G ON % of the
battery capacity. Turn off when the voltage
rises to GOFF for GDEL minutes.
6.
No quiet time.
Turn on when SOC % falls
to G ON%. Turn off when SOC% rises to
GOFF%. (GOFF% can be set to greater
than 100% to allow some overcharge.)
