Changing the Warm-Up Time for the Generator
The basic procedure for changing operating parameters is explained in another section ( > Changing Operating Parameters).
Relation between warm-up time and termination of generator start:
The generator management measures the time between the generator start and the beginning of the warm-up time. If a maximum time is exceeded, the generator management system terminates the generator start. The maximum time to start termination is double the warm-up time plus an additional two minutes.
With some generator types, the generator only switches the voltage to the output of the generator after the internal warm-up time has expired. During this time, the generator management is unable to recognize a valid generator voltage. If the warm-up time is set too low, the generator management terminates the generator start before the internal warm-up time has expired.
Procedure:
- Select Generator > Operation.
- Set the parameter Warm-up time of generator in accordance with the generator properties.
Set the desired warm-up time.
Set the warm-up time to be at least half the internal warm-up time of the generator.
