CESSNA SECTION 7
MODEL 208B G1000 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

STARTER SWITCH

The starter switch is a three-position toggle-type switch, labeled
STARTER, on the left sidewall switch and circuit breaker panel. The
switch has OFF, START, and MOTOR positions. For additional details
of the starter switch, refer to the Starting System paragraph in this
section.

IGNITION SWITCH

The ignition switch is a two-position toggle-type switch, labeled
IGNITION, on the left sidewall switch and circuit breaker panel. The
switch has ON and NORMAL positions. For additional details of the
ignition switch, refer to the Ignition System paragraph in this section.

GENERATOR SWITCH

The generator switch is a three-position toggle-type switch, labeled
GENERATOR, on the left sidewall switch and circuit breaker panel. The
switch has ON, RESET, and TRIP positions. With the switch in the ON
position, the GCU will automatically control the generator line contactor
for normal generator operation. The RESET and TRIP positions are
momentary positions and are spring-loaded to the ON position. If a
momentary fault should occur in the generating system (as evidenced
by the Amber GENERATOR OFF CAS MSG, Red VOLTAGE LOW CAS
MSG and/or Red VOLTAGE HIGH CAS MSG), the generator switch
can be momentarily placed in the RESET position to restore generator
power. If erratic operation of the generating system is observed, the
system can be shutoff by momentarily placing the generator switch to
the TRIP position. After a suitable waiting period, generator operation
may be recycled by placing the generator switch momentarily to
RESET.

STANDBY ALTERNATOR POWER SWITCH

The standby alternator system switch is a two-position toggle-type
switch, labeled STBY ALT POWER. There is also an amber LED above
the switch that illuminates when the BATTERY switch is in the OFF
position with STBY ALT POWER in the ON position. This is an alert to
the operator to help prevent accidental discharging of the battery that
can occur if the STBY ALT POWER switch is left ON after shutdown.
