Operating the Cascade When power is first applied, all LEDs will flash indicating a Lamp Test function. To manually start the engine, press the “MAN” (Manual) button. The controller will initiate a normal start sequence. In MANUAL MODE, operating the “UP/DOWN” arrow keys will activate Aux outputs 1-4 if they are configured for SPEED UP / SPEED DOWN.
LED Status Light Eleven LEDs separated into two banks (see “Fig. 1”) are provided on the faceplate. The LEDs Bank 1 includes 6 LEDs and Bank 2 includes 5. In Setup mode, these banks form a binary code to indicate either the controller setup configuration or error status, which is indicated by the last 8 (red) LEDs.
Setting Up the Cascade To enter the SETUP MODE, first remove DC power to the Cascade controller for approximately 10 seconds. On the back of the controller are four DIP switches, set switch #1 to ON (see schematic at right) then restore DC power. The AUTO mode LED will blink to indicate that the Cascade is in the SETUP MODE.
Installing the Cascade Auto-Start Controller The Cascade controller offers automatic start/stop control with easy configuration for a broad number of engine driven applications. Tools Needed To install the Cascade, you will need: • #2 Philips (cross head) head screwdriver • Nut driver to fit #6-32x1/2”...
Recommended Wiring Practices Warning: The CASCADE is designed for pilot-duty use and its outputs are for control only. Wire the CASCADE controller with 18 gage stranded wire. Important: For applications involving automatic start equipment, we strongly recommend the installation of an appropriate Emergency Stop device. To help prevent electrical noise and voltage drop to the controller during cranking and preheat, wire the controller DC power connections directly to the cranking battery.
