2. Set generator main line circuit breaker (MLCB)
(generator disconnect) (B) to OFF (OPEN).
3. Verify both auxiliary shutdown switches are ON (I).
See Figure 3-6 for locations.
4. Press MANUAL (C) on control panel to start en-
gine. A blue LED will illuminate to confirm system is
in MANUAL mode.
5. Allow engine to run until it reaches normal operat-
ing temperature.
6. Press OFF on control panel to stop engine. A red
LED will illuminate to confirm system is in OFF
mode.

Self Test
Upon startup, the controller goes through a system self
test which checks for the presence of utility voltage on the
DC circuits. This is done to prevent damage if the installer
mistakenly connects AC utility power sense wires into the
DC terminal block. If utility voltage is detected, the con-
troller displays a warning message and locks out the gen-
erator, thereby preventing damage to the controller.
Remove power to the controller to clear this warning.
Utility voltage must be turned on and present at N1 and
N2 terminals inside the generator control panel for this
test to be performed and pass.
Before starting, complete the following:
1. Verify generator is OFF. A red LED on control panel
will illuminate to confirm system is in OFF mode.

2. Verify generator MLCB (generator disconnect) is in
OFF (OPEN).
3. Turn off all circuit breakers / electrical loads to be
powered by generator.
4. Verify both auxiliary shutdown switches are ON (I).
See Figure 3-6
5. Check coolant and engine lubricating oil levels.
See Inspecting Coolant Level and Hoses
specting Lubricating Oil Level and Drain
During initial startup only, the generator may exceed the
normal number of start attempts and experience an "over
crank" fault. This is due to accumulated air in the fuel sys-
tem during installation. Reset the control board and re-
start up to two more times, if necessary. If unit fails to
start, contact an IASD for assistance
.
Spark-Ignited Stationary Generators Owner's Manual
In AUTO mode, the engine starts and runs
once each week at the time and day speci-
fied. During the exercise cycle, the unit
runs approximately 12 minutes and then
shuts down. Transfer of loads to the gener-
ator does not occur unless utility power
fails.
