General Information
Owner’s Manual for 60 Hz Synergy Generator™ 5
Section 2: General Information
Synergy Operating Principle
Benefits
The Synergy 20 kW generator brings exciting new
technology to the Home Standby Generator. The
generator is significantly more fuel-efficient than constant
speed generators at normal loads, provides premium
power quality, and is significantly quieter while operating
at exercise and normal loads.
Exceptionally quiet exercise at 57 dB
Quieter operation; 3 dB sound reduction with
improved tonal qualities at exercise and under
normal loads
Cleanest Standby power available with 1.5 THD
Significant fuel savings: more fuel efficient under
normal loads
Lower operating speed at 2700 rpm at low loads
Tuned Helmhortz resonator and muffler to further
reduce sound levels
Variable Speed / Constant Frequency operation
Start Up
When the generator starts, the engine speed increases to
3600 RPM to produce maximum power. This optimizes
power to carry the load when the transfer switch
operates. The engine RPM then gradually decreases to a
speed appropriate for the attached load.
For example: If there is no load, the engine speed
decreases to approximately 2700 RPM. The time it takes
to decrease to 2700 RPM is approximately 4–5 minutes.
Since the rate of decrease is linear, less time would be
required for it to decrease to only 3400 RPM.
During startup, as the engine speed increases to 3600
RPM, the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) electronics
perform a self test (before transfer) involving an overall
system check of the unit. If a fault is detected, the unit
shuts down and displays an alarm.
Normal Running
The engine operates between 2700 RPM–3600 RPM
depending on the attached load. When the load
increases or decreases, the speed increases or
decreases accordingly.
Small Load Changes
The system is designed to maintain the current engine
speed for small load changes. Larger load changes result
in a change in engine speed to appropriately handle the
load.
Large Load (Not Overload)
The engine always runs at a speed appropriate for the
attached load. When a large load is applied, the fast
loadshed signal is activated. All loads attached to the
loadshed controller in the transfer switch are dropped
and the engine speed immediately increases to 3600
RPM. Five seconds later, the loadshed signal is
deactivated and Loads 3 and 4 are sequenced back on,
spaced 15 seconds apart. Loads 1 and 2, which are
designed for air conditioners, are sequenced back on
after five minutes.
The engine speed remains at 3600 RPM for a
programmable time (20 minutes default) and then slows
to the speed appropriate for the attached load. The
programmable time can be changed by the dealer to
prevent annoying increases and decreases in engine
speed if large loads turn on and off frequently.
Overload
If a load is sensed that is too large for the engine, that
load will be locked out for a period of 30 minutes. If the
load is not connected through a fast loadshed-enabled
controller and module, the generator will shut down with
an “Overload” alarm.
Low Speed Exercise
Low speed exercise operates at 1950 RPM for five
minutes. The output voltage and frequency will not be at
the rated voltage and frequency during exercise.
Normal Exercise
Normal exercise is at 3600 RPM at normal voltage and
frequency levels for 5 minutes.
Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) Cooling Fans
The system is equipped with two fans to cool the AVR
electronics. The primary fan is powered by AC during
operation. The secondary fan is powered by 12V DC
through the controller. The fans are monitored during
operation and, if a failure occurs, an alarm is displayed.
The secondary fan continues to operate for up to one
hour after the generator is shut down (even if the 7.5
amp ATO fuse is removed). Proper cooling must occur
before removing battery connections for maintenance or
other service activity. Be extremely careful when working
near the AVR fan housing.
(000111)
WARNING
Moving Parts. Keep clothing, hair, and
appendages away from moving parts. Failure
to do so could result in death or serious injury.

Protection Systems
The generator may have to run for long periods of time
with no operator present to monitor the engine/generator
conditions. Therefore, the generator is equipped with a
number of systems to automatically shut down the unit to
protect it against potentially damaging conditions. Some
of these systems are as follows:
Alarms:
Warnings:
The control panel contains a display which alerts the
operator when a fault condition occurs. The above list is
not all inclusive. For more information about alarms and
control panel operation, see Operation.
NOTE: A warning will indicate a condition, on the
generator, that should be addressed but not shut the
generator down. An alarm will shut the generator down to
protect the system from any damage. In the event of an
alarm, an owner can clear the alarm and restart the
generator prior to contacting an Independent Authorized
Service Dealer. If the intermittent issue occurs again,
contact an Independent Authorized Service Dealer.
NOTE: For Synergy-specific alarms, see General
Troubleshooting.

removed within 3 ft. (0.91 m) of the intake and discharge
louvers on the sides of the enclosure. It is also important
that the generator is not subject to water intrusion. Verify
that all potential sources such as water sprinklers, roof
run-off, rain gutter down spouts and sump pump
discharges are directed away from the generator
enclosure.
Turn the generator OFF before performing maintenance.
Remove 7.5 Amp fuse, T1 and T2 battery charge fuses,
and disconnect battery cables to prevent accidental start
up. Disconnect the NEGATIVE (-) cable first, then
disconnect the POSITIVE (+) cable. When connecting
the cables, connect the POSITIVE cable first, the
NEGATIVE cable last.

Operation
16 Owner’s Manual for 60 Hz Synergy Generator™
Setting the Exercise Timer
This generator is equipped with a configurable exercise
timer. There are two settings for the exercise timer.
Day/Time: Once set, the generator will start and exercise
at a predetermined day and time. During this exercise
period, the unit runs for approximately 5 or 12 minutes,
depending on the model, and then shuts down.
Exercise frequency (how often the exercise will take
place): Exercise frequency can be set to Weekly,
Biweekly or Monthly. If Monthly is selected, the day of the
month must be selected from 1–28. The generator will
exercise on that day each month. Transfer of loads to the
generator output does not occur during the exercise
cycle unless utility power is lost.
NOTE: If the installer tests the generator prior to
installation, press the “enter” button to skip setting up the
exercise timer.
NOTE: The exercise feature will operate only when the
generator is placed in the AUTO mode and will not work
unless this procedure is performed. The current date/time
will need to be reset every time the 12 volt battery is
disconnected and then reconnected, and/or when the
fuse is removed.
Table 3-1 details the exercise information and
programming options for all Home Standby generators.
Figure 3-7 shows the engine speed profile during a
typical low speed exercise cycle. While providing the
necessary periodic exercise operation, the lower rpm
also reduces fuel consumption, engine wear and noise.
Figure 3-7. Low Speed Exercise Profile
Battery Charger
NOTE: The battery charger is integrated into the control
module in all models.
The battery charger operates as a Smart Charger that
ensures:
Output is continually optimized to promote
maximum battery life.
Charging levels are safe.
NOTE: A warning is displayed on the LCD when the
battery needs service.
