User-Defined I/O Function Descriptions - Kohler MPAC 1500 Manual

Load Bank Control Active. The load bank control
output is a C form contact that can be used to apply a
load to the generator set during an unloaded exercise or
test. The load bank control output is active during each
unloaded test and unloaded exercise. See Figure 5-20.
The load bank control output closes or opens a contact
that can be used to signal the load bank controller to
operate. Connect the normally open or normally closed
output contact to the load bank controller as required for
proper operation. Refer to the connection instructions
provided by the load bank manufacturer.
If the Normal source is lost during an exercise period,
the load bank control output is deactivated to remove the
load bank and allow the transfer of the building load to
the emergency source.
