Turning On Heat Management
Whenever it is running, the WhisperGen maintains the coolant temperature at approximately the
set point until the battery bank is fully charged. When the battery bank is fully charged, the
WhisperGen stops and returns to the standby mode and the coolant temperature is no longer
maintained. You can however turn on the heat management option to keep the WhisperGen
running to maintain the coolant temperature continuously even after the battery bank has been
fully charged.
The WhisperGen will continuously maintain the coolant temperature after the battery bank is fully
charged only if the WhisperGen is started manually or from a remote switch. If the WhisperGen
starts as a result of the Auto-charge function, the WhisperGen will stop and return to the standby
mode once the battery bank is fully charged. For more information refer to section entitled Quick
Reference - Operating Options.
To turn on the heat management option:
1. Access the
User Menu
on the control panel – follow steps 1 to 3 of the procedure outlined in
section entitled Setting the Maximum Run Time.
2. Press

repeatedly to return to the default display. You can also let the default
display re-appear automatically by allowing a few minutes of inactivity on the control panel.
With the
Heat Manage
option turned
ON
, the WhisperGen, if started manually or from a remote
switch, will run continuously and maintain the coolant temperature until it is stopped manually or
from the remote switch. If a
Max Run Hours
setting of less than
25
has been set, the
WhisperGen will automatically stop when the
Max Run Hours
set value is reached. See section
Quick Reference for a summary on operating options.
If the
Heat Manage
option is turned
ON
and an external water heater is connected to the cooling
circuit of the WhisperGen, the external water heater will be automatically started to give a rapid
initial heat-up of the coolant and to provide supplementary heating whenever required. After the
initial heat-up, the external heater will be turned on only if the WhisperGen is unable to maintain
the coolant temperature at the set point. The temperatures at which the external heater is started
or stopped are preset.
