Operator`s manual
Remote
Starling
Procedure
The remote start panel
is
the same
as
the engine-mounted start panel except that it has a green
LED
light.
When starting at a remote location, the green LED lights when the generator is running at approximately
600
rpm, which indicates when the
START
switch can be released, since the starting of the generator may not
be
audible.
A.
When starting the generator set at a remote location, release the START switch when the green
LED
lights, but continue depressing the ON switch. After releasing the
START
switch, continue holding the
ON switch until the oil pressure
is
sufficient
to
close the oil pressure safety switch, providing the normal
B + path
to
the ignition system.
B.
After the generator
is
started, the generator's starter will
not
crank until someone again operates the
ON switch first.
Remote
Stopping
Procedure
To STOP the generator, depress the
STOP
switch, which opens the normally closed B + path for voltage to
the engine's ignition circuit. The
STOP
switch
llJ.l.lS1
be held open until the generator comes
to
a complete
stop. Remote start panels may be connected
to
the generator set as indicated. A jumper has to be removed
between the T
-1
and T
-2
connections at the panel connection terminal board. (Refer
to
the wiring diagram
in the
"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM" section of this manual, page 40.)
Overs
peed
Shutdown
Should the generator shut down from an overspeed condition, the overspeed circuit
llJ.l.lS1
be reset before
attempting
to
restart the generator. Resetting the overspeed switch
is
done by simply depressing the
STOP
switch momentarily and then proceeding with the normal starting procedure.
If the overspeed switch itself
is
faulty and resetting it
by
depressing the STOP switch will not reset the circuit,
lift the
T-1
coil connection from the switch and tape the end of the
T-1
wire with electrical tape. Do
not
operate
the generator with the overspeed switch bypassed. Bypass this circuit
only to test the overspeed circuit.
Replace the overs peed switch
to
maintain this safety circuit's integrity.
The
overspeed
shutdown
must
always
be
installed and
functioning.
Any tampering with
the overs peed shutdown
module, which would cause it
to
malfunction, could be a cause of
injury
should the generator's belt-driven governor fail and cause the generator drive engine to
overspeed.
