The was an announcement last year that there was a facility on the VRM dashboard to manually control RELAY 1 which is linked to our generator. I was able to control our generator manually when we required it. There was even a time that could be set for the generator to run. Today, this facility has been removed and the only switch I can now control is RELAY 2. Obviously, I can over-ride the auto start function via the remote console, but this is not as easy as just clicking on the one button!
