Fault Detection System; System Control Panel - GE HOME GENERATOR SYSTEM 11000 WATT Installation And Start-Up Manual

Fault Detection System

The generator may have to run for long periods of time with
no operator present. For that reason, the system is equipped
with sensors that automatically shut down the generator
in the event of potentially damaging conditions, such as
low oil pressure, high temperature, over speed, and other
conditions. Refer to Fault Detection System in the operator's
manual for more detailed information.

System Control Panel

The home generator control panel, located inside the
generator housing, is shown below. Brief descriptions of the
controls used during installation are:

A
- Set Exercise ― Used to set the exercise cycle.
B
- Circuit Breaker ― Must be ON to supply power to the
transfer switch.
C
- 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. One
spare fuse is supplied with the unit. If fuse was blown or
removed, you will need to reset the exercise timer (see
Setting Exercise Timer).

- System Switch ― This two-position switch is the most
important control on the home generator 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, 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.
E
– MANUAL OVER-RIDE ― Used to manually start and
stop the generator.
F
- Digital Display ― Displays running time in hours or
fault codes.

operator's manual.
