[QUOTE=RickB;176143]No one noticed it wasn't performing the automatic test runs?

Good question, so I asked the Tech supervisor.
It's setup for an autostart, 30 minute run, and shut down, on the 1st and 15th of each month as recommended. The lightning storm occurred on Sept. 3rd and the next power outage was Sept 9th.
Under normal circumstances the electronics would have reported a system failure even without the generator running. However, the lightning strike killed the computerized reporting components as well.
Murphy’s Law at work!!
