Dependencies The “Exercise Per” trigger requires parameters to be set in the “Exercise
Dur” and “Exercise Time” menu items.
Considerations Generators need to run regularly in order to maintain mechanical health
and performance. If the generator isn’t needed and doesn’t run, it is
recommended that an Exercise period be set to keep the generator in good
working condition.
If the generator runs frequently throughout the year, it may not need to set
an exercise period. In that case, set the “Exercise Per” trigger to 0.
Exercise Dur
Full name Exercise Duration (in minutes)
Purpose “Exercise Dur” sets how long the generator will run when it is exercised.
Dependencies The “Exercise Dur” trigger requires that any parameter other than “0” be
set in “Exercise Per” and a time of day be set in the “Exercise Time”
trigger.
Values Default
