  • Page 3 1. DESCRIPTION AND GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS The control panel and the protection are presented in a 66 x 66 x 85 mm box for panel mounting. Manufactured in aluminium and fireproof polyamide 6 (Class V0), its colour is black. It incorporates the possibility of starting the engine manually or automatically (through free voltage contact) and of protecting it against any malfunctions while it is running.

This indicates that the engine’s indicator remains lit as long as the alarm condition persists. pressure switch has detected an abnormality. This protection activates a timed shutdown cycle. The LED will remain lit while Battery charging failure LED.

    3. COMPONENTS AT THE REAR The rear is where the connection terminals are found, together with a USB port for programming parameters, consulting the alarms log and the total and partial hour meter. CONNECTION TERMINALS 1. Alternator voltage input 220V (GEN) 2.
  • Page 8 The battery positive is connected to this terminal, whether it be 12V or 24V. One of the main features of the M1 control unit's wiring connections that is worth mentioning is the fact that these are made using quick connect terminals.
