Generator Exercise

A generator exercise is a short run-time with a configurable schedule. During an exercise, the unit self-starts and runs to perform internal tests and ensure proper generator function.


Generator Exercise Facts

  • A transfer of loads does not occur during the exercise cycle unless utility power is lost. 
  • The exercise feature only operates when the unit is placed in auto mode.
  • 5-minute exercise cycle (non-adjustable).
  • Some previous firmware versions had a 12-minute exercise cycle. 
  • Exercise frequency is adjustable: weekly, biweekly, or monthly. 
  • If monthly is selected, the day of the month must be selected from 1-28. 
  • Quiet Test™ Mode allows the unit to run at a lower speed during exercise to reduce noise and fuel consumption. Available on 10kW – 26 kW units only.
