SET UP
Learn Function should be activated when on generator power to ensure that the generator can support the desired
loads being controlled. The loads are should be turned on until desired generator capacity is reached. Additional
loads, such as an electric heater, may be added during the Learn Mode process to force the generator to full capacity.
To establish the capacity of the generator several methods may be used:
1. While applying loads to the generator listen for audible changes coming from the engine, when the engine begins to
slow or bog down you are reaching the capacity of your generator and are in the range where you should consider
setting your switch calibration.
2. Calculate the power by measuring the voltage and current coming from the generator (power = volts x amps).
3. Measure the frequency of the generator until a 1 hertz drop in frequency is observed

SETTING THE LEARN FUNCTION
1. Turn off the Utility power to the MTS by shutting off
Circuit Breaker A1/ B1
2. Turn off all load circuit breakers, A2 through B3 and A5
through B6
3. Plug in the portable generator, start the generator and
turn on A4/ B4
4. Turn on Circuit Breaker A2, verify that the bottom left
LED is illuminated. If the LED in not illuminated check
to see if there is a load on the circuit. If no load will be
RESETTING LEARN VALUE
1. To reset the Learn value to the factory value of 10KW,
follow this sequence;
a. Push the Learn button for > 10 seconds
b. At > 5 seconds all LED’s blink 3 times and turn on
solid, continue to push the Learn button.
c. At > 10 seconds the LED’s all go out and the value
is reset to the factory default of 10KW.
d. Release the Learn button and the LED’s will display
the power with a 100% value at 10KW.
placed on this circuit, turn on B2 and verify that the
lower right LED is illuminated.
5. Turn on each circuit breaker to load the generator
to desired capacity by using one of the methods
described above.
6. Push the Learn button for greater than 5 seconds until
all LED’s blink 3 times and turn on solid, then release
the Learn button.
7. This completes the Learn Function process, turn off the
generator and switch the MTS back to Utility by tuning
on A1/ B1 and off A4/ B4.
