A. Mode Buttons

The Mode Buttons are used to set the operating state of the generator. Pressing the OFF button prevents engine operation or stops the engine if it is already running. Pressing the MANUAL button (center button) immediately starts the generator. Pressing the AUTO button sets the generator for unattended operation under the control of properly matched automatic transfer switch.

WARNING

With the Mode in the auto position, the unit starts and stops without notice.

Keep clear of all moving parts at all times.

B.Auto LED

The Auto LED will be green when the controller is

placed in the Auto Mode.

C. Status Indicator LED’s

Status Indicator LED’s are provided to communicate the status of the generator to the user. Under normal running conditions, only the green Auto LED is lit. Function of all other LED’s are described on page 21.

D.Utility Power Monitor LED

The Utility Power Monitor LED will illuminate green

when the Voltage Sensing detects that the Utility is available.

E.Transfer Switch Monitor LED

The Transfer Switch Monitor LED will illuminate

Green when the transfer switch is in the normal position and it will illuminate Red when the Transfer Switch is in

the Emergency position.

F.Generator Power Monitor LED

The generator power monitor LED will illuminate Red

when the Voltage Sensing detects that the Generator source is available.

G. Generator Hour Meter

The Generator Hour Meter is provided to track the total numbers of hours of operation. The hour meter runs whenever the engine is running and the alternator is producing electricity. Placing the main line circuit breaker in the OFF position while the engine is running does not stop the meter from counting hours.

CIRCUIT BREAKER

Main Line Circuit Breaker

A Main Line Circuit Breaker is provided to protect the generator from damage caused by electrical faults within the attached electrical distribution system. It is also used to isolate the output of the generator from the connected electrical distribution system by moving the breaker handle to the OFF position. Placing the breaker in this position does not prevent startup of the generator.

WARNING

Place the circuit breaker in the OFF position when servicing the generator to minimize electrocution hazards.

FUSES

Control Circuit Fuse

The Control Circuit Fuse provides protection against damage from electrical faults. Replace the fuse only with an equivalent size and style of fuse to prevent damage to the control system.

Charging Circuit Fuse

The Charging Circuit Fuse provides protection to the engine mounted alternator in the event of electrical faults in the positive (+) battery circuit. Failure of this fuse prevents charge from reaching the battery when the generator is running, leading to early battery failure. Replace the fuse only with an equivalent size and style of fuse to prevent damage to the control system.
