What is the size in Amps, of your electrical service?

In order for a Standby Generator to operate properly, it will need to be connected to the appropriate Automatic Transfer Switch.

Automatic Transfer Switches are sized by amperage demands of a home’s electrical service, and therefore offered in ranges from

50 amps to 200 amps. Many newer homes include 200 amp service to accommodate increasing demand for electrical power.

How do I know what size generator I need?

Many people have the misconception that generators are sized according to the square footage of their home. However, what’s

most important is to determine how many kilowatts (kW) of power are needed to keep your family comfortable in a power outage.

To size a generator, start with the items that have the largest power needs, usually your central air conditioning unit. Some larger

homes or homes in warmer climates require more than one central air conditioner. Therefore, knowing the size of your your air

conditioning unit is very important, and the information is easy to obtain.

Air conditioners (AC) are sized in tons. To determine your AC unit size, check out the model number (not the serial number) on the

name plate of your outside AC unit. Model numbers have 2 digits, which match the unit numbers listed below, and that translates

into your total central air power requirements in tons. Final sizing should be determined with licensed professional.

How many cycles is this generator?

Briggs & Stratton generators are sixty cycle (60 Hz).

How is the exercise timer set on my home standby generator system?

The standby generator is equipped with an exercise timer that will start and exercise the system once every seven days. During this

exercise period, the unit runs for approximately 20 minutes and then shuts down. Electrical load transfer DOES NOT occur during

the exercise cycle (unless an utility power outage occurs).

A button on the control panel is labeled “SET EXERCISE”. Press the speciﬁc day and the speciﬁc time of day button to program into

the control board memory. This date and time is then used to automatically initiate the system exercise cycle. The “SET EXERCISE”

legend on the control panel will ﬂash until the set exercise cycle is set.

To perform the Set Exercise procedure:

1. Choose the day and time you want your standby generator to exercise.

2. On that day and time, press and hold “SET EXERCISE” for three seconds. “SET EXERCISE” will ﬂash until the button is pressed

for three seconds, then “SET EXERCISE” will illuminate for 5 seconds, and ﬁnally turn off.

3. Then, the unit will start and run its 20 minute exercise cycle.

For example, if you press “SET EXERCISE” on Sunday morning at 10:00 AM, the unit will run an immediate exercise cycle and an

exercise cycle every following Sunday at 10:00 AM (+/- 1/2 hour).

“Set Exercise” will only work if the unit is in the AUTO mode and this exact procedure is followed. The exerciser will need to be re-set

if the 15 Amp fuse is removed or changed, or if the starting battery is disconnected.

If you want to change the day and time the unit exercises, simply perform the “Set Exercise” procedure at the exact weekday and

time you want it to take place.
