Generator Exercise Monitor

Generator Exercise Monitor
	Overview Price: $199.00 CAD A low-cost, easy to install way to make certain stand-by generators are getting their "Exercise"... (Now can be connected to an optional remote dialer for off-site monitoring of this critical function!) Every standby power unit must be exercised regularly in order to remain healthy and be ready to respond to any emergency. The exercise cycle is normally performed weekly by an automatic timer that is part of the generator controls. However, many generators do not monitor the exercise cycle and warn if it does not take place as scheduled. Since personnel are not normally present when the generator runs, the only way to tell is to record the reading of the running time meter weekly. This is inconvenient and expensive at remote sites. The Flight Systems Model 325 Generator Exercise Monitor is specifically designed to solve this problem in a simple and cost-effective way. The Model 325 monitors the exercise cycle on a weekly basis to make sure that the generator actually ran and produced voltage. Indicators on the unit show the status as simply "Exercise OK" or "Exercise Failed". These indications can be remotely displayed at another location, if desired. An alarm relay output is provided for connection to any alarm system or automatic telephone dialer. The GEM is easy to install and is independent of the existing generator controls. Basic Features The Model 325 GEM is a low cost but valuable addition to any standby power system because it enhances system reliability by monitoring the exercise cycle. The alarm options possible with the Model 325 make it ideally suited for remote site applications. The unit is AC line powered but is protected against memory loss by a standard 9-volt battery. Minimum exercise time periods from 2.3 to 72 minutes may be selected. The unit remembers from week to week if the exercise cycle has been successfully completed and indicates the exercise status as EX. OK or EX. FAILED. These indications can also be displayed on an optional remote indicator that fits in a standard outlet box and uses low voltage wiring. The generator can respond to a power failure or be run for maintenance at any time without disturbing the exercise monitoring function. A built-in self-test feature permits maintenance personnel to verify proper operation of all functions of the unit. In the self-test mode, a week of monitoring is accelerated to less than one minute of real time. NOTE: The unit will not tell you if the generator failed to start in an actual power failure situation. It will respond only to a failed exercise cycle. A built-in self-test feature permits the user or a service person to verify proper operation of all functions of the unit. In the self-test mode, a week of monitoring is accelerated to less than one minute of real time.
