up and the LCD window will show engine and generator operating parameters. Temperature will be shown as
"0" until the engine temperature is approximately 100°F (38°C).
11. Check the generator for excessive noise or vibration and any coolant, oil, or fuel leaks before applying any loads.
12. Check that the AC output voltage is correct. The output voltage can be fine adjusted by using the fine voltage
adjustment screw (rheostat). Refer to
13. Check that the frequency (Hz) is correct. With no loads connected to the generator, the frequency should read
approximately 60 Hz, depending on the type of engine governing used.
14. If all wiring connections have been attached and secured correctly, switch the main circuit breaker to the "ON/I"
position and then add any loads attached to the convenience outlets by switching the respective circuit breaker
to the "ON/I" position. You will notice a slight change in engine sound when a load is applied to the unit.
"AUTO" (REMOTE) STARTING OF THE GENERATOR
The "AUTO" button is used when the generator is started from a location other than the control panel and by using
a transfer switch. "AUTO" (remote start) is the normal setting when the generator is being used as a standby power
supply. Before putting the generator in the "AUTO" mode, review the
Starting Of The Generator" on page
transfer switch if the unit is to be used as a standby power supply. Refer to
continue with the steps described below:
1. Perform a manual start of the generator at least once to verify the engine is operating correctly.
2. If a check of the remote start circuit is desired, remove the wires from the remote start terminal block.
Press the "AUTO" button, the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) window should highlight "AUT" in the upper
left corner. Attach a jumper wire (minimum 16 gauge) across the two terminals on the remote start
terminal block. This applies a ground to the Magnum Digital Controller (MDC) to close the starting circuit
contacts. The engine should crank, start and run.
3. Remove the jumper wire from the remote start terminal block and the engine will stop. Reconnect any
necessary wires from the remote start switch (transfer switch) to the remote start terminal block.
4. Confirm unit is in "AUTO" mode. The LCD window should have "AUT" highlighted in the upper left corner.
5. Close the main circuit breaker (set to "ON/I").
6. Secure the generator by closing and locking all access doors.
7. The generator is now ready for remote starting. Refer to
SHUTTING DOWN
Check with personnel using power supplied by the generator and let them know the power is going to be turned off.
Make sure the power shut down will not create any hazards by accidentally turning off equipment that needs to be
kept on (pumps, compressors, lights, etc.).
1. Remove all loads from the generator by opening all circuit breakers (turn to "OFF/O").
2. Let the engine run for approximately five minutes to allow it to cool down.
3. Push the red "ENGINE STOP" button. Pressing "ENGINE STOP" will result in the generator going into
the shutdown cycle and starting a 15 second shutdown timer called "Stop Value." If the unit does not
shutdown within 15 seconds, a "Stop Fail" alarm will be displayed on the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
window.
4. Move the "CONTROL ON/OFF" toggle switch to the "CONTROL OFF/O" position.
Note: For extended storage time, disconnect the battery. Refer to the operator's manual for extended storage
requirements.
