DCA-400SSK — GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE (CONTROLLER)

Manual Start-up

1. Follow instructions as with key switch numbers 1-6.

Starting the generator in the "AUTO" mode is similar to starting the generator in the "MANUAL" mode, with a few exceptions.

2.Place the Off/Manual/Auto switch (Figure 49) in the MANUAL position. Observe that the engine begins to crank.

CAUTION:

When running the generator in the AUTO mode, remember the generator can start up at any time without warning. NEVER attempt to perform any maintenance when the generator is in the auto mode.

3.After engine starts, verify that the "Engine Running" status LED (Figure 50) on the Microprocessor Engine Control Module (Engine Controller) display is "ON" (lit).

Figure 50. Engine Controller Status LED

When starting generator in Auto mode use the "Manual Start- up" procedure except where noted (see below).

1.Perform steps 1 through 6 (Before Starting, page 47- 48) as outlined in the manual starting procedure.

2.Apply commercial power to the internal battery charger receptacle (to ensure good starting) via commercial power. An external power cord will be required.

3.Apply commercial power to the jacket water heater receptacle (not necessary for warm climates) via commercial power. An external power cord will be required.

4.Place the Off/Manual/Auto switch (Figure 51) in the AUTO position.

4. Continue instructions with key switch 8-17.

Auto Start-up

CAUTION:

Before connecting this generator to any building’s electrical system, a licensed electrician must install an isolation (transfer) switch. Serious injury or death may result without this transfer switch.

CAUTION:

When connecting the generator to a isolation (transfer) switch, ALWAYS have power applied to the generator's internal battery charger. This will ensure that the engine will not fail due to a dead battery.

(AUTO)

5.Continue to follow the steps outline in the manual start- up procedure (start at step 11, page 49).
