Someone explain the automatic generator start to me please? I downloaded and printed the manual, haven't played with it yet. I set the switches to 11.6 volts, 1.5 hour run time. If I push the test button, I'm assuming the generator should start, then shut down if battery voltage is above setpoint. If not, it will run for 1.5 hours.
In normal operation, just set it to Enable (I think that's what it says). It will come on at the setpoint (11.6) then run for the amount of time you have set. It won't shut off when fully charged. I wish that were the case.
If you hit Test, it should start. I always go shut it off manually at the panel, so I don't know if it would run for 1.5 hours in your case or just shut down after a while.
