    If the Oil Pressure Switch does not work or the wire fails to make the connection, the engine will be prevented from starting and the ES52 will assume a ‘wait and see’ mode (indicated by a steady Low Oil and flashing Engine Running LED).

The ES52 goes immediately into cranking, it will then check for a Low Oil Failure condition after the Oil Bypass period has elapsed.

    2. Controller Memory Clear Time The ES52 needs 10 Seconds for its memory to clear. When the power to the controller is turned OFF and then back ON again without waiting to clear the memory, a Loss of Speed will be indicated by the ES52 because the controller remains in Run mode and senses that the generator has stopped.
  • Page 20 The two wires from the Secondary of the transformer are connected to the two wires of the speed sensing terminals on the ES52 controller. The Step Down transformer acts to reduce the false speed signal on the line to a level that the Engine controller will not recognize as the Engine running.
