Does this machine have self testing feature? I mean can I setup a schedule and the generator will start by itself to ensure all parts are functioning.

As sold, this unit does not have any of those features. The things that allow you to do that are sold separately (automatic transfer switch, battery and automatic fuel supply).

Yes, the Genset has an exercise function, starts up weekly at a user specified time and runs for 20 minutes.

Hello JacobI am 99% sure you can run manually all zones with a single start. I will check the owner's manual when I go home tonight and confirm my answer later on.

it might if it would actually start for you and run. Mine has been sitting in the field now for months after getting totally fed up with it.to answer your question about generator capacity in general, you need to simply add up the power usage labels on your equipment, and then compare it to the rated output of the generator. No one can answer your question above because there are many sizes of AC's, fridges, lights, etc. Only you can answer that question

We have a generator which automatically turns on when utility power is lost for more than 15-20 seconds, so I do not know how long the computer would remain operative without the generator.

No it does not. You likely have a 100 or 200 amp electric service and the generator has an output of about 30 amps. It should be able to handle your essential circuits though using an 8-10 circuit transfer panel

I think there are some blogs out there as well as reviews that will answer your question better than I, its function is not related to what you can with a diagnostic tool, rather high powered troubleshooting of the basics ie why your starter isn't working

Yes, that's what this design. When generator starts should not be connected all the charging at the same time. Why generator may be damaged.

I have run a 5,000 BTU window unit on a single generator, it had to be run with auto-idle off to allow a/c to start, then it ran about 7 hours. It may run this unit, may be less expensive to downsize a/c prior to purchase instead of having to add a second gen and parallel kit later. it will definitely run from a pair of generators.

Hello my friend, The machine that you are asking about requires NO power supply at all. It is operated by hand crank and it works very well! I hope this helps you. Jim

your research is correct also. just buy unit new, not a reject like I did. It is a very good generator

I really like this generator. It does have the low oil shut off. Do not know anything about the alternator. The remote start is great. Really nice machine we use at camp. Have not had any problems with it yet other than the remote not working properly which got resolved by calling the company.

I am sorry but I can't give you an accurate answer. The generator has never been used. Actually I have never taken it out of its box. But it is still available and I hope someone can answer your question.

We don't know the answer. Our electrician and plumber took care of the whole installation. I know that we have an automatic switch so, if we lose power, the generator goes on automatically. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Since I bought the units, the only thing I needed was a starter switch which a company called American Warranty Service at 817-865-5421. They sent the part which was fine, but it was part of an assembly with a connector, which would have saved me time. It ended up being a bad solder joint on the switch. Overall, the generator has been a good purchase.

It was not an important option for me, so I didn't specifically look for one with electric start. I would say no that it is not available since I did look extensively at a lot of Powermate generators and did not recall seeing this option. The honest answer would be " I don't know".

No there isn't a copy of the owners manual with the unit, but you can go to Generac's website and look it up.
