For these Generac models: EcoGen 6kW Generator, GT-530.

Applies to: Generac Ecogen 6Kw Generator, Generac Gt 530

Procedure

1. 7.5 AMP Enter Upon first power up of the generator, the display interface will begin an installation assistant. The assistant will prompt the user to set the minimum settings to operate. These settings are Current Date/Time. The maintenance intervals will be initialized when the exercise time is entered (Figure 3.1). If the 12 volt battery is disconnected or the fuse removed, the Installation Assistant will operate upon power restoration. The only difference is the display will only prompt the customer for the current Time and Date. NOTE: The current date/time will need to be reset every time the 12 volt battery is disconnected and then reconnected, and/or when the fuse is removed. Display Interface Menus The LCD display is organized as detailed below: The “Home” page, this page is the default page which will be • displayed if no keys are pressed for 30 seconds. This page normally shows the current Status message and the current date and time. The highest priority active Alarm and/or Warning will be automatically posted on this page as well as flashing the backlight when such an event is detected. In the case of multiple Alarms or Warnings, only the first message will be displayed. To clear an Alarm or Warning, see the Protection Systems section - Clear Alarm. The display backlight is normally off. If the user presses any key, • the backlight will come on automatically and remain on for 30 seconds after the last key was pressed. The “Main Menu” page will allow the user to navigate to all other • pages or sub-menus by using the Left/Right and Enter keys. This page can be accessed at any time with several presses of the dedicated Escape key. Each press of the Escape key takes you back to the previous menu until the main menu is reached. This page displays the following options: HISTORY; STATUS; EDIT; AND DEBUG. (See the Appendix - "Menu System".)
