Starting (Auto Mode)

DANGER

Before connecting this generator to any

building’s electrical system, a licensed electrician must install an isolation (transfer) switch. Serious damage to the building’s electrical system may occur

without this transfer switch.

NOTICE

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

NOTICE

When the MPEC control switch is placed in the AUTO mode, the generator will automatically start in the event of commercial power falling below a prescribed level by means of a contact closure that is generated automatically by a transfer switch.

In this position (AUTO), should an outage occur, the automatic transfer switch (ATS) will start the generator automatically via the generator's auto-start contacts connected to the ATS's start contacts.

Please refer to your ATS installation manual for further instructions for the correct installation of the auto-start contacts of the generator to the ATS.

WARNING

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.
