Generac Power Systems H-100 사용자 설명서

Generators best maintain their readiness by being 
exercised once per week. This prevents the machine 
from stagnating and provides an opportunity to dis-
cover any maintenance items that may need service 
before the unit is actually needed for emergency 
power. In the past, the generator had to be exercised 
manually or an external exerciser was attached to the 
generator or transfer switch to activate the remote 
start once per week for a period of time long enough 
for the generator to warm up. With the advent of QT 
series of generators, that function was moved into 
the generator controller. This allows the QT series 
generator to have the QuietTest® mode of exercise as 
one of its key features. Normal mode exercise can be 
selected instead which can also exercise a Generac 
Commercial Transfer Switch (HTS) if desired. These 
features are all standard in the PowerManager® H-
100 controller, but require setup by the installer or 
end user. The internal exercise can be set up using 
GenLink or by using the front panel displays. This 
section describes the procedures needed to perform 
this setup.

The QuietTest® mode and Normal mode of exercise 
run the generator for approximately 20 minutes 
starting at a preset day and time once per week when 
the key switch is in the AUTO position and internal 
exercise is enabled. If the Normal exercise is used 
with the option to exercise an HTS selected, the 
exercise duration may vary based on the HTS set-
tings. QuietTest® cannot exercise the HTS since the 
lower generator frequency and voltage used to reduce 
noise levels is incompatible with the standard system 
loads.

If the generator is needed for emergency power while 
exercise is running, exercise will be terminated auto-
matically and the system will change to providing 
emergency power.

NOTE:

If “transfer on exercise” is selected with an HTS 
that is not a “Closed Transition Transfer Switch”, 
there will be a momentary (possibly several sec-
onds) interruption in power to the load when 
switching from Utility to Emergency power and 
when switching back. For this reason, “transfer on 
exercise” is normally not selected.

Connect to the H-100 control panel. Using the 
“Configuration” pull down, select “Exercise 
Configuration” to display the Exercise Configuration 
screen.

 

Click on ”Select Exercise” to enable internal exercise 
and allow the changing of the other exercise param-
eters.
