The generator will continue to run unless one of the following procedures
is performed:

1.

Manual Stop – Manually stop the generator by selecting OFF from
the 02A Generator menu item. The generator will receive the stop
command immediately if manually stopped.

2.

Auto Stop – Select AUTO directly (without allowing the cursor to
pass through OFF) will allow the generator to automatically stop. It
will shut off once the bulk and absorption stages of the battery
charging have completed, thus fully recharging the batteries.

Automatic Generator Control

The generator can be programmed to start and stop automatically based
on the following scenarios:

AC Current

Battery Voltage

Time of Day

Required Exercise Period

AC Current

The generator starts whenever the current demand through the inverter to
the AC loads remains above the 26A Load Start Amps AC setting for the
selected 26B Load Start Delay Min period. The current can be
monitored by the 04E Load Amps AC menu item under the 04 Meters
Menu
.

The generator will start, unless the timer is in the “quiet time” period, at
which time it will only start if the 26G Read LBCO 30 Sec Start Vdc
setting is reached.

Whenever the generator starts automatically, based on load amps, it will
shut off once the load current drops below the 26A Load Start Amps
value for the selected 26B Load Stop Delay Min period.

Battery Voltage

The generator starts whenever the battery voltage reaches one of the four
adjustable low-battery voltage levels for the selected delay periods
(24 hours, 2 hours, 15 minutes, or 30 seconds).

The low-battery voltage levels are set under the 26 Gen Auto Run Setup
Menu. Actual battery voltage can be monitored from the 04A Battery
Actual Volts DC
menu item.
