An optional carburetor heater is recommended for improved cold starting in locations where the ambient temperature drops below 0_C (32_F). The carburetor heater prevents condensation and carburetor icing. The heater requires a continuous source of 120 VAC power.

See the generator set Installation manual for more information.

1.7.2Fuel Regulator Heater (20RESA and RESAL only)

An optional fuel regulator heater for the 20RESA/20RESAL is recommended for improved cold starting in locations where the ambient temperature drops below --18_C (0_F). The heater requires a continuous source of 120 VAC power.

See the generator set Installation manual for more information.

1.7.3OnCue Home Generator Management System

The Kohlerr OnCuet Home Generator Management System allows monitoring and control of your RESA or RESAL generator set from a personal computer located in your home or at other remote locations. OnCuet can also be configured to send email or text message notifications in the event of a generator set fault.

Note: Be sure to obtain the correct version of the

OnCuet kit for the RDC2/DC2 controller.

OnCuet version 3.0 is required for RESA/RESAL generator sets equipped with the RDC2/DC2 controller. OnCuet versions numbered 1.x are not compatible with the RDC2/DC2 controller.

1.7.4Programmable Interface Module (PIM)

The optional Programmable Interface Module (PIM) provides two programmable inputs and six programmable dry contact outputs for connection to customer-supplied equipment. The outputs are controlled by the RDC2 controller, and can also be controlled remotely using the OnCue program.

The PIM is mounted in a NEMA 3R aluminum enclosure, which can be mounted indoors or outdoors. See the installation instructions provided with the PIM.

1.7.5Load Control Module (LCM)

The optional Load Control Module (LCM) provides an automatic load management system to comply with Section 702.5 of NEC 2008. The installer is responsible for ensuring that the power system installation complies with all applicable state and local codes.

The LCM automatically manages up to six residential loads. Four power relays are provided for management of non-essential secondary loads, and two relays are available to control two independent air conditioner loads.

The LCM is controlled by the RDC2/DC2 controller. The load on the generator set is monitored, and loads are added or shed in the order of their priority. See specification sheet G6-120 and the LCM installation instructions for more information.
