Operation
Figure 3-10. Select AUTO or MANUAL Mode
Manually Starting the Unit
STOP mode is the default start-up setting for all units
equipped with the Power Zone–DLA. Proceed as follows
to start the generator in MANUAL mode.
1. Verify the 240VAC outlet breaker is set to OFF (O).
2. Set the main circuit breaker OFF (I).
3. When the controller powers up, the Home screen
displays on the LCD screen and the Stop LED
illuminates to indicate that the controller is in STOP
mode. Press the Start button to initiate the startup
procedure. If there are no existing engine faults,
the engine will start and the Start LED will
illuminate.
NOTE: The engine can be started from any screen. It
may take a few seconds for the engine to run smoothly
and reach its governed operating speed.
4. If the engine does not start after the first cranking
attempt, the engine will pause for 15 seconds to
allow the starter to cool. The controller backlight
will go out. The engine will make two more
attempts to start for a total of three crank cycles.
5. If the engine does not start and run within three
starting cycles, the LCD screen will display the
“Fail to Start” alarm. The starting sequence can be
repeated after the starter cools for at least two
minutes. Pressing the Stop (O) button will clear the
alarm and reset the controller.

Models)
1. Verify the unit is ON and running smoothly.
2. See Figure 3-11. Switch main circuit breaker (A)
ON (I).
3. Switch light circuit breaker (B) ON (I).
