GENERATOR SET CONTROLS
DEC4000 
SPECIFICATIONS
(1) Control and automatic operation present, but require the 
 “Prewiring for auto startup” option and possibly the 
 configuration of a parameter on the DEC4000.
(2) The choice of alarm or fault is made by programming on 
 the keyboard.
(3) Differential protection is ensured by an exterior module.
(4) DS detection is provided using the source changeover 
 switch as a base. If the source changeover switch is not 
 chosen, the DS module can be fitted in the control unit.
(5) To find out more detailed contents, please contact your 
 KOHLER distributor.
(6) Standard NFE37312.
