Operation

Operator Control Panel

Each operator panel is slightly different, depending on features of the generator you purchased. The Operator Control Panel of Figure 4-1is shown because it has most of the available features. This will be used to explain how the controls operate.

Figure 4-1 Operator Control Panel AE8 and AE10

Master Control Switch (Run Manual −Off − Remote Auto) Run Manual − Immediately energizes the crank cycle to start

the generator set and produce power.

Stop − Stops the Engine and generator set.

Remote Auto − The engine can only be started by making a connection across the remote start terminals of the control box.

Allows normal automatic backup operation of the Generator Set under control of the Transfer Switch whenever utility AC power is lost.
