Generator fails to start automatically during scheduled exercise, but starts manually

Safety first: Ensure the generator is safe to start automatically (no personnel working on it) before enabling AUTO mode.

• Step 1 – Verify AUTO mode: Confirm that the controller is set to AUTO, not OFF or MANUAL.
• Step 2 – Check exercise settings: Enter the controller menu and review the exercise schedule (day, time, duration). Correct any errors and ensure the feature is enabled.
• Step 3 – Set controller clock: Make sure the date and time are correct. Adjust for daylight saving time if necessary.
• Step 4 – Test exercise function: Temporarily set an exercise time a few minutes ahead and observe whether the unit starts. If it does not, the controller's timer circuit may be faulty and require replacement.
