GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL
The start/stop rocker switch is the only functional component
on the generator control panel used to start and stop the
generator.
The start/stop rocker switch is a
three
position switch with
momentary contacts in the (START) and (STOP) position and
a stationary contact function in the center (NORMAL). This
position allows the generator to run once started and also
enables the remote start/stop panel(s) to control the start/stop
functions of the generator.
The (START) position starts the generator and once released
reverts to the center position. The (STOP) position stops the
engine in nonnal operation as well as in an emergency
situation. This position opens the K2 run relay which
de-energizes the engine's run circuit and shuts down the
engine.
Starting
Simply press the (START) switch and the generator will start.
A green light will glow indicating the generator is running.
Stopping
Depress the (STOP) side of the start switch, the green light
will go out and the generator is stopped.
Failure to Start
The start cycle will automatically terminate if the unit fails to
start after 5-6 seconds of cranking. Wait 20 seconds, then
repeat the start.
If the unit again fails to start. investigate the cause. Sometimes
after servicing the fuel system or changing the fuel filter, air
can accumulate in the' fuel line or the throttle body and prevent
starting.
The Schrader valves on the throttle body and the fuel cell are
used to remove trapped air. This air is mixed with fuel and
under high pressure. Follow the BLEEDING THE FUEL
SYSTEM instructions in this manual.
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT
The check engine light indicates a potential emission's control
issue. Immediate action by the operator should be taken to
troubleshoot and correct the emission's related issue.
REMOTE START!STOP PANEL
The components on the panel are:
1. A
three
position start/stop rocker switch.
2. A green LED run indicator light on the rocker switch.
3. A four position LED fault shut down display board.
The start/stop rocker switch functions the sarne as the start/stop
rocker switch on the generator's control panel as previously
explained.
The green LED run indicator light on the rocker switch will
illuminate when the start circuit is energized.
It
will go dim as
the engine cranks and will brighten as the engine starts
indicating the generator is running.
The LED fault shut down display board has four separate LED
lights to display to the operator the cause of the generators
automatic shut down. The four LED displays are: low oil
pressure, high engine operating temperature, high exhaust
temperature and engine over-speedlunder-speed (flashes).
Should the generator shut down from one of these faults, the
fault LED will remain illuminated. To reset the LED, the DC
breaker on the control box must be turned OFF and then back
ON.
This remote panel is a plub-in accessory and is available with a
15' to 100' wiring harness.
