Generator Charge is for de-rating the power the UPS uses for charging the battery when supplied from a generator.

The GEN CHRG (Generator Charge) mode can be activated via the display: Main Menu>System>Gen Chrg. The generator must supply a signal to the UPS to reduce charge.

To be used in generator applications, or if special codes requires control of charging. See page 36 attached file, install guide.
