Remote Starling Procedure
The remote start panel is the same as the engine-mounted start panel except that
it
has a green LED light.
When starting at a remote location, the green LED lights when the generator is running at approximately 600
rpm, which indicates when the START switch can be released, since the starting of the generator may not
be audible.
A. When starting the generator set at a remote location, release the START switch when the green LED
lights, but continue depressing the ON switch. After releasing the START switch, continue holding the
ON switch until the oil pressure is sufficient to close the oil pressure safety switch, providing the nor-
mal B
+
path to the ignition system.
B. After the generator is started, the generator's starter will not crank until someone again operates the
ON switch first.
Remote Stopping Procedure
To STOP the generator, depress the STOP switch, which opens the normally closed B
+
path for voltage to
the engine's ignition circuit. The STOP switch must be held open until the generator comes to a complete
stop. Remote start panels may be connected to the generator set as indicated. A jumper has to be removed
between the T -1 and T-2 connections at the panel connection terminal board. (Refer to the wiring diagram
in the "ELECTRICAL SYSTEM" section of this manual, page 44, lower left-hand corner.)
Overspeed Shutdown
Should the generator shut down from an overspeed condition, the overspeed circuit
must
be reset before
atternpting to restart the generator. Resetting the overspeed switch is done by simply depressing the STOP
switch momentarily and then proceeding with the normal starting procedure.
If the overspeed switch itself is faulty and resetting it by depressing the STOP switch will not reset the cir-
cuit,lifttheT-l coil connectionlromthe swttch and tape the end of the T-l wire with electrical tape. DO NOT
operate the generator with the overspeed switch bypassed. Bypass this circuit only to lest the overs peed
circutt. Replace the overspeed switch to maintain this safety circuit's integrity.
The overspeed shutdown must always be installed and functioning. Any tampering with the
overspeed shutdown module, which would cause it to malfunction, could be a cause of injury
should the generator's belt-driven governor fail and cause the generator to run away.
