User manual GENERAL ELECTRIC AGM05

[. . . ] This home standby generator requires professional installation before use. You never have to look far to find GE support and service for your generator. For quick service when you need it, keep your original receipt with this manual. Generator and engine model and serial numbers should be recorded in the installation manual. [. . . ] The automatic transfer switch will transfer loads back to utility power after a 5 minute minimum run time and utility power is available. The generator will run for one additional minute for engine cool down, then will shut down. If utility is restored and generator does not shut down after 10 minutes, set system switch to OFF and contact your installer or local service center. The home generator will now start automatically and will supply power to the transfer switch when utility power is lost. The home generator is equipped with an exercise timer that will start and exercise the system once every seven days. During this exercise period, the unit runs for approximately 20 minutes and then shuts down. Electrical load transfer DOES NOT occur during the exercise cycle (unless an utility power outage occurs). The specific day and the specific time of day this button is pressed is programmed into the control board memory. This date and time is then used to automatically initiate the system exercise cycle. For example, if you press SET EXERCISE on Sunday morning at 10:00 AM, the unit will run an immediate exercise cycle and an exercise cycle every following Sunday at 10:00 AM (+/- 1/2 hour). "Set Exercise" will only work if the unit is in the AUTO mode and this exact procedure is followed. To remedy the low oil pressure condition, add the recommended oil to the FULL mark on the dipstick. If the low oil pressure condition still exists, the engine will start, then shut down again. This feature protects devices connected to the transfer switch by shutting the generator down if the engine runs slower than 55 Hz for three seconds. This condition is caused by a failed engine component or by excessive loads on the generator. This feature protects devices connected to the transfer switch by shutting the generator down if the engine happens to run faster than the preset limit. the overspeed fault is detected as follows: · If the generator output frequency is 65-70 Hz, after three seconds, the generator will shut down. If the generator output frequency is greater than 70 Hz, the generator will shut down immediately. This condition is caused by a restriction in the fuel flow, a broken or disconnected signal lead, a failed alternator winding, the control panel circuit breaker is open, or the generator is overloaded. This feature prevents the generator from damaging itself if it continually attempts to start in spite of another problem, such as no fuel supply. Each time the system is directed to start, the unit will crank for 10 seconds, pause for 10 seconds, and repeat. If the system does not begin producing electricity after approximately 2 minutes, the unit will stop cranking.
