How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the generator is in AUTO and that no active alarms are present before adjusting settings.

Steps:

  • Check clock: Set the correct date and time on the Honeywell controller.
  • Verify exercise settings: Confirm that the exercise function is enabled and scheduled for the desired day and time.
  • Battery status: Ensure the battery is healthy and that no Low Battery alarm is present.
  • Manual test: Run a manual test to confirm the unit can start and run. If manual works but exercise does not, the controller may need firmware update or replacement.
