7. Once the engine starts, it will immediately begin speeding up to a constant 1800 rpm. The engine may hunt or
change speeds until operating speed is reached. After a few minutes of operation, the engine will be warmed
up and the Operator screens will show engine and generator operating parameters.
8. Check the generator for excessive noise or vibration and any coolant, oil, or fuel leaks before applying any loads.
9. Check that the AC output voltage is correct. The output voltage can be fine adjusted by using the Voltage Adjust
screen as described on page 18.
10. Check that the frequency (Hz) is correct on the Generator screen. With no loads connected to the generator,
the frequency should read approximately 60 Hz, depending on the type of engine governing used.
11. If all wiring connections have been made correctly, switch the main circuit breaker to the “ON/I” position and then
add any loads attached to the receptacles by switching the respective circuit breaker to the “ON/I” position. You
will notice a slight change in engine sound when a load is applied to the unit.
AUTOMATICALLY STARTING THE GENERATOR
The Power Zone™ controller is capable of starting and stopping the unit automatically, based on a programmable
schedule.
Generators installed in a standby application should be exercised regularly to maintain operating condition and to
ensure responsiveness in an emergency situation. Use the following procedures to operate the generator in “Auto
Mode”:
ACCESSING THE CONFIGURATION MENU
1. With the unit stopped, navigate to the Maintenance screens by pressing any directional arrow (“▲”, “►”, “▼”,
“◄”) from any of the Operator screens.
2. While on any Maintenance screen, press the Enter “” button and the Engine Stop/Reset “O” button simultane-
ously. The controller will display the Configuration Menu.
3. To save any changes and exit the Configuration Menu, press and hold the Enter “” button for five seconds. To
cancel any changes and return to the Maintenance screen, press and hold the Engine Stop/Reset “O” button for
five seconds.
SET THE CONTROLLER CLOCK
The schedule runs based off the time set in the controller clock. Use the following procedure to set the controller
clock BEFORE setting the schedule:
1. Navigate to the “Maintenance” group and access it by pressing the right arrow “►”.
2. Select the “Time” section by pressing the right arrow “►”.
3. Set the time and date to the correct local time.
SET THE SCHEDULE
1. Access the “Scheduler” group by pressing the right arrow “►”.
The “Scheduler” group is made up of the “Scheduler Options” and “Scheduler Setup” sections. Each section can be
accessed and exited using the right “►” and left “◄” arrows.
