Does the generator ever run through a test/exercise cycle?
Yes, the generator will run every 7 days for about 11 minutes. During that time the generator will run through test cycles to make sure everything is working properly in the event of an outage. The time and day the generator is started for the first time is the day and time it will cycle each week. If you want to have that changed, you must specify that when scheduling the start up of the generator.
