1.6 Accessories
The following optional accessories are offered for the 6VSG generator sets.
1.6.1 Carburetor Heater
An optional carburetor heater is recommended for improved cold starting in locations where the ambient temperature drops
below 0°C (32°F). The carburetor heater prevents condensation and carburetor icing. The heater requires a continuous source
of AC power.
See the generator set Installation manual for more information.
1.6.2 OnCue® Plus Generator Management System
The Kohler
®
OnCue
®
Plus Generator Management System is included with the generator set. The OnCue
®
Plus System allows
monitoring and control of your generator set from your home or other location with Internet access using a computer or mobile
device. OnCue
®
Plus can be configured to send email or text message notifications in the event of a generator set fault.
You can also use Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa and your smart device to control your generator. Use voice commands to
check your generator’s status, check for active alerts, and start or stop an exercise. See the OnCue
®
Plus User Guide, TP- 7006,
for simple setup instructions and voice commands.
OnCue
®
Plus Wireless is also available. OnCue
®
Plus Wireless works with the customer’s wireless Ethernet router and does not
require the installation of a network cable between the generator set and the customer’s router/modem.
1.6.3 Programmable Interface Module (PIM)
The optional Programmable Interface Module (PIM) provides two programmable inputs and six programmable dry contact
outputs for connection to customer-supplied equipment. The outputs are controlled by the VSC controller, and can also be
controlled remotely using the OnCue
®
Plus program.
The PIM is mounted in a NEMA 3R aluminum enclosure, which can be mounted indoors or outdoors. See the installation
instructions provided with the PIM.
1.6.4 Communications Kit
The optional communications kit includes the following factory-installed items:
 Interface board with factory-set inputs and outputs and customer connection terminal blocks
 Fuel pressure switch
 Enclosure intrusion alarm switch
1.6.5 Oil Makeup Kit
The oil makeup kit increases the oil capacity on 6VSG residential/commercial generator sets. The kit includes a 2 qt. (1.9 L) oil
reservoir and a large sight gauge for the oil level. The kit is installed inside the enclosure on the 6VSG generator set.
The oil makeup kit extends the oil level check interval by providing extra oil in the reservoir. See the Scheduled Maintenance
Section for the maintenance schedule and oil specifications. Continue to change the engine oil at the intervals stated in the
maintenance schedule and use the recommended oil. Do not mix conventional and synthetic oils.
