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 nor-
mal 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 must 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
44,
lower left-hand corner.)
Overspeed
Shutdown
Should the generator shut
down
from an overspeed condition, the overspeed circuit must be reset before
atternpting
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 cir-
cuit,lifttheT-l
coil
connectionlromthe
swttch and tape the end of the
T-l
wire with electrical tape. DO NOT
operate the generator with the overspeed switch bypassed. Bypass this circuit only
to
lest
the overs peed
circutt. Replace the overspeed switch to maintain this safety circuit's integrity.
The overspeed shutdown must
always be installed and functioning. Any tampering with the
overspeed 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 to run away.
