3. The PowerCommand
®
control will initiate a starter cranking signal and will
perform an automatically sequenced manual start, under a complete engine
protection system combined with full monitoring capability. This will activate the
engine control system and the starting procedure. The starter will begin
cranking and, after a few seconds, the engine will start and the starter will
disconnect.
If the engine fails to start, the starter will disengage after a specified period of
time and the control will indicate a Fail to Start shutdown.
To clear a Fail to Start shutdown:
a. Press the Stop button.
b. Press the Reset button.
4. Before attempting to re-start, wait a minimum of two minutes for the starter
motor to cool and then repeat the starting procedure. If the engine does not run
after a second attempt, refer to the Troubleshooting section of the operator
manual.
DISABLING MANUAL MODE
To disable Manual mode, change to Auto or Off mode. If the generator set is
running when it leaves Manual mode, it will continue to run if Auto mode has been
selected and the remote start signal is active. If there is no active remote start
signal, the generator set will stop.
Starting from Remote Location (Auto Mode)
NOTICE
Make sure that all Pre-start Checks are carried out before starting the
generator set. Do not attempt to start the generator set until it is safe to do
so. Warn all others in the vicinity that the generator set is about to start.
1. To start the generator set in the Auto Run mode, select the Auto button from
the operator panel. Refer also to the Selecting Auto Mode section.
Once the PowerCommand
®
control receives a remote start signal, and after a
Time Delay to Start, the control will initiate the starting sequence as above. The
Remote Start LED will be lit.
NOTICE
If the mode change access code feature has been enabled, enter the
access code when prompted. See the Passwords and Mode Change
Access section.
