temperature level, or if the temperature rises above the
high limit during the cooldown cycle.
If a transfer switch other than the Model RXT is used, an
additional engine cooldown time delay may be
programmed on the transfer switch. To allow the smart
engine cooldown on the RDC2 controller to operate
most efficiently, set the cooldown time on the transfer
switch controller to zero or the minimum time allowed.
Refer to the instructions provided with the transfer
switch for more information.
2.3.6 Automatic Operation with Model
RXT Transfer Switch
The Model RXT transfer switch connects to the RDC2
controller through the ATS interface board on the
transfer switch. Also see the Model RXT Transfer
Switch Operation/Installation
information about transfer switch operation.
The controller must be in AUTO mode for automatic
transfer switch operation.
Automatic Start
The RDC2 controller receives utility source voltage
sensing data from the Model RXT transfer switch.
1. If the utility source voltage falls below an
acceptable level, the controller starts the engine
start time delay.
2. If the utility source is not restored before the time
delay expires, the generator set starts.
3. After the Normal-to-Emergency time delay, the
ATS is signaled to transfer the load to the
emergency source.

1. When the utility
Emergency-to-Normal time delay starts.
2. When the Emergency-to-Normal time delay
expires, the load is transferred to the utility.
3. The generator set runs through the engine
cooldown cycle and then stops.
2.3.7 Automatic Operation with Model
RDT or RSB Transfer Switches
If a Kohler Model RDT or RSB transfer switch is used,
the engine start contacts from the ATS must be
connected to engine start leads 3 and 4 on the generator
set.
The controller must be in AUTO mode to respond to
remote start/stop signals from an ATS or remote switch.
Press the AUTO button to put the controller into
automatic mode.
Automatic Start
The engine start contacts on the ATS close to signal the
generator set to start, and remain closed while the
generator set is running.
Automatic Stop
The engine start contacts on the ATS open to signal the
generator set to stop.
