CONTROL PANELS
GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL
The ON and START/STOP switches are the only functional
components to operate the generator at the engine. Both
switches are used to start the generator - see
Starting the
Generator under OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
The ON switch is a two-position switch with momentary
contacts in the up (on) position and a stationary contact
function in the center position. This switch energizes the
fuel pump.
The START/STOP switch is a three-position switch with
momentary contacts in the up (start) position and a stationary
contact function in the center and down (stop) positions. The
center
(normal)
position allows the generator to be run, once
started, and also enables the remote panel(s) to control the
start/stop functions. The up (start) position starts the generator
and once released, reverts to the center position. The down
§!Qp
position stops the engine in nonnal operation as wen as
in an emergency situation, as
it
directly (unlike the remote
panel stop switch) controls power to the starter, fuel pump
and injector, and ignition relay coils, thus stopping the engine
should a malfunction occur. During times when maintenance
is being performed on the generator, the START/OFF switch
should be placed in the stationary (off) position. This will dis-
able the remote control panel(s), preventing attempts to start
the generator from their locations. However,
it
is always best
to disconnect the battery during this time if it is not required
to perfonn the maintenance.

REMOTE PANEL
There are three functional components on the remote panel
for generator operation:
1. ON switch
1. START/STOP switch
2. Green LED indicator light
The ON switch is a two-position switch with momentary
contacts in the up (on) position and a stationary contact
function in the center position. This switch energizes the
fuel pump.
The START/STOP switch is a three-position switch with
momentary contact functions in the up (start) and down
(stop) positions, and a stationary contact function in the
center position The center position is a dual OFFIRUN mode
position and is normally in the off mode. When in the start
(up) position, this switch starts the generator (together with
the ON switch in the up position) and once released, reverts
to the center position, run mode. When in the stop (down)
position, this switch stops the generator, and once released,
reverts to the center position, off mode:
The Green LED indicator light indicates the engine running
condition. It lights when the ON switch is moved to the start
position, dims when the engine is cranking, and brightens
when the engine starts, notifying the operator to realease the
START switch.
