Generator Enclosure Thermostat | Kohler 8/10/12RESVL specification

2.6Generator Enclosure Thermostat

8RESV(L), 10RESV(L), and 12RESV(L) generators include a resettable thermostat in the air intake compartment. The thermostat detects excess heat inside the enclosure. If the thermostat trips, the generator will shut down and the controller will display a fault (underspeed, underfrequency, or undervoltage). If the thermostat trips for some reason other than high temperature (i.e. a nuisance trip), follow these steps to reset the thermostat.

1.Disconnect the utility power to the generator by opening (turning OFF) the corresponding circuit breaker at the building’s distribution panel.

2.Open the enclosure roof.

3.Press the button on the thermostat to reset it. See Figure 2-4 for the thermostat location.

4.Reconnect utility power to the generator set by closing the circuit breaker in the distribution panel.

5.Reset the fault on the RDC2/DC2 controller. See Section 2.5.4.
