8.3.5.5.NO LOAD TEST:
•
To allow a timed No Load Test of the engine/generator set while using
the AMF control application, a digital input contact from an external
timer must be programmed for NO LOAD Test
(Refer to
Section 9.5
for
programming details).
The sequence of operation for a No Load Test condition is as follows:
•
With the utility supply normal and the generator stopped, a no load
test sequence may be initiated by closing an external exercise
timer contact to the programmed digital input for No Load Test.
•
Once the external exercise timer contact closes, the engine will
start and come-up to normal operating speed and voltage. The
MEC will issue an alarm of a No Load Test condition. The
connected transfer switch will remain on the utility and the
generator will not transfer on load.
Note
: should the utility supply
fail, the generator will automatically transfer on load.
•
The engine will continue to run as long as the external exercise
timer contact remains closed.
•
Once the external exercise timer contact opens, the engine will
continue to run for its cooldown time as programmed, then it will
automatically stop.
