System Control Panel

Compare this Control Panel illustration with your generator to familiarize yourself with the location of these important controls:

A - Circuit Breaker — Protects the system from shorts and

other over-current conditions. Must be ON to supply

power to the Automatic Transfer Switch.

B - Set Exercise Button — Used to set the exercise cycle

start time and day-of-the-week. Exercise cycle only

occurs in AUTO mode.

C - Manual Over-Ride Button — With system switch in

AUTO position, push the manual over-ride switch to

start the generator. To turn off the generator, push and

hold the manual over-ride switch again until engine

stops.

D - 15 Amp Fuse — Protects the home generator DC control

circuits. If the fuse has ‘blown’ (melted open) or was

removed, the engine cannot crank or start. Replace the

fuse using only an identical ATO 15A fuse.

E - System Switch — This two-position switch is the most

important control on the system and is used as follows:

• “AUTO” position is the normal operating position. If a

utility power outage is sensed, the system will start the

generator. When utility power is restored, AUTO lets

the engine stabilize internal temperatures, shuts off the

generator, and waits for the next utility power outage.

• “OFF” position turns off running generator, prevents

unit from starting and resets any detected faults.

F - Digital Display — Displays the total number of hours

the generator has been running and fault codes. Used

to schedule maintenance tasks and for troubleshooting

operational problems with the home generator. All fault

conditions are described in Fault Detection System.
