10 Part No. 057-009 5110 Operating Manual Issue 3.3 3/1/2006
4.2 MANUAL OPERATION
To initiate a start sequence in MANUAL, press the
pushbutton. When the controller is in the manual
mode (indicated by an LED indicator beside the button), pressing the START (I) button will initiate the
start sequence.
NOTE:- There is no Start Delay in this mode of operation.
NOTE:- When in manual mode, the remote start input cannot be used to begin the start
sequence.
If the pre-heat output option is selected this timer is then initiated, and the auxiliary output selected is
energised.
After the above delay the Fuel Solenoid is energised, then the Starter Motor is engaged.
The engine is cranked for a pre-set time period. If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt then
the starter motor is disengaged for the pre-set rest period. Should this sequence continue beyond the set
number of attempts (fixed at 3), the start sequence will be terminated and
Fail to Start
fault will be displayed accompanied by a flashing shutdown indicator.
When the engine fires, the starter motor is disengaged and locked out at a pre-set frequency from the
Alternator output. Alternatively a Magnetic Pickup mounted on the flywheel housing can be used for
speed detection (This is selected using the front panel editor).
After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On timer is activated, allowing Oil Pressure, High
Engine Temperature, Under-speed, Charge Fail and any delayed Auxiliary fault inputs to stabilise without
triggering the fault.
Once the engine is running, the Warm Up timer, if selected is initiated, allowing the engine to stabilise
before it can be loaded.
The generator will run off load, unless a Remote Start signal is applied, and if Load Transfer has been
selected as a control source, the appropriate auxiliary output selected will activate.
If the Remote Start signal is removed, the generator will continue to run On load until the Auto mode is
selected. The Remote Stop Delay Timer will time out, the load is then disconnected. The generator will
then run off load allowing the engine a cooling down period.
NOTE:- Removing the remote start input when the set is on load will not cause the generator
to be taken off load.
Selecting STOP (O) de-energises the FUEL SOLENOID, bringing the generator to a stop.
