GU641A Controller Operation Manual Generator Auto Start Sequence: Controller implements following procedure when Mains voltage failure occurs (it means that the controller detecting either the voltage or the frequency of Mains is over the range of preset values and delay confirmed), or Mains fail to load, or remote start signal is active and Mains failure;...
Page 12
GU641A Controller Operation Manual CAUTION: If magnetic pickup is not used, to avoid damage to the start motor please make sure the generator’s voltage is higher than the measurable value of controller while cranking, since the crank cutout signal is sensed from the generator voltage and frequency.
Page 13
GU641A Controller Operation Manual Stop Failure: When cool down times out, the fuel relay opens and the timer for Stop delay begins. If the controller detects that the voltage of the generator or oil pressure or the speed of engine is greater than the cutout values or LOP switch is open, when it times out, the failure LED illuminates and the LCD displays Fail to stop.
Page 14
GU641A Controller Operation Manual Generator starting sequence: Pressing “START” button the fuel relay energises, and operates the fuel solenoid of engine, After 300ms delay, the start relay output is energised, the start motor engages and begins to crank, when the engine speed reaches the crank cutout RPM, the start relay output is de-energised and the safety-on delay starts.
Page 15
GU641A Controller Operation Manual Stop control sequence for N.O. type: During the controller’s stop sequence, the fuel relay energises, fuel solenoid is on power, the fuel solenoid closes the fuel valve and the engine begins to stop. After a delay (same as Stop delay) fuel relay de- energises, disconnecting the supply from the fuel solenoid.

GU641A Controller Operation Manual 4.8 The function of forcing start Reason to add this function to the controller is that when the engine under abnormal conditions, e.g. the battery voltage is too low or ambient temperature is too low, or generator only outputs voltage at a high speed when magnetic pick-up is not used, the Genset cannot be started successfully when it implements the build-up cranking process of controller.
