DCA-150SSKII — GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE (AUTO)

17.After the engine has been running for a few minutes, look at the status LED’S on the "MPEC" display (Figure

9)and check it for any abnormal conditions. If any abnormal conditions exist, shut down the engine and take corrective action to solve the problem.

18.If there are no abnormal problems shown on the “MPEC" LED display, turn the MAIN, GFCI and LOAD circuit breakers to their ON position (Figure 60).

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.

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

19.Look at the generator's ammeter (Figure 61) and verify that it reads the anticipated amount of current with respect to the load. Remember the ammeter will only display a current reading if the load is in use.

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.

If the generator is equipped with an MPEC, when starting generator in Auto mode use the "Manual Start-up" procedure except where noted (see below).

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

2.Place the Off/Manual/Auto switch (Figure 62) in the AUTO position (up). Observe that the engine begins to crank.

20.The generator will run until manually stopped or an abnormal condition occurs.
