Max Run Time
Full name Maximum Generator Run Time
Purpose “Max Run Time” allows a limit to be set on how long the generator will
run. This setting overrides any automatic start triggers. For example, if
the generator starts in response to low battery voltage, and the batteries
are not fully charged before “Max Run Time” is reached, the generator
will stop. In addition, when the generator is started manually from the
XW System Control Panel, the generator will stop when “Max Run Time”
is reached.
When started with an external manual ON/OFF switch, the generator will
not stop when it reaches “Max Run Time”. The generator must be stopped
with the external manual ON/OFF switch, or by using the System Control
Panel to change the “GenMode” to ManualOff.
If the XW Auto Generator Start reaches “Max Run Time”, a warning
message will appear on the XW System Control Panel. The XW Auto
Generator Start will stop operating until the warning is acknowledged by
pressing ENTER on the XW System Control Panel.
Considerations Adjust the “Max Run Time” if the maximum generator run time:
• exceeds the fuel capacity of the generator, or
• is not long enough to fully recharge the batteries under optimum
conditions.
Exercise Per
Full name Set Exercise Period (in days).
Purpose “Exercise Per” sets the minimum time interval between each running of
the generator. If the generator has not been run within this time frame, the
XW Auto Generator Start will start the generator to “exercise” it.
The time interval defined by the Exercise Period setting begins with the
last time the generator was run for any reason, not with the last time the
XW Auto Generator Start exercised the generator.
For example, setting an exercise period of 30 days would start the
generator if it had not been run at all for 30 days.
Values Default
0 hours to 24 hours (increments of 1hour) 8 hours
