Possible Causes

Incorrect date/time in controller, exercise disabled in settings, controller firmware glitch, low battery at exercise time

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Keep the generator in a safe state while adjusting settings; no need to open high-voltage compartments.

  • Verify date and time: Enter the controller menu and correct the clock and calendar.
  • Check exercise enable: Ensure the exercise function is turned on and set to the desired day and time.
  • Test manual exercise: Start the generator manually at the scheduled time to confirm it can run.
  • Monitor battery: Confirm the battery is fully charged; weak batteries may prevent automatic starts.

If the schedule still does not run, a controller reset or firmware update may be needed.
