A “three-wire-start” generator has two or more starting circuits. It usually has a separate switch or

position for cranking the generator. The AUX terminals cannot control this type of generator without

using a three-wire to two-wire conversion kit.

Atkinson Electronics (http://atkinsonelectronics.com) makes these kits, among other companies.

The Atkinson GSCM-Mini is designed to work with OutBack inverters and others.

The drawing below is one example of a possible arrangement. Specific arrangements, relays, and

other elements depend on the requirements of the installation and of the generator.
