- 6 - 057-001 720 Operating Instructions Issue 3.1 20/12/2005 AM
3.1 MANUAL OPERATION
This mode is activated by pressing the pushbutton. An LED indicator beside the button
confirms this action.
Press the
button to begin the start sequence.
NOTE:- There is no Start Delay in this mode of operation.
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 configurable period. If the engine fails to fire during this cranking
attempt then the starter motor is disengaged for the configurable rest period. Should this sequence
continue beyond the 3 cranking attempts, the start sequence will be terminated and Fail to Start
fault will be displayed.
When the engine fires, the starter motor is disengaged and locked out at 20Hz measured from the
Alternator output.
After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On delay is activated.
‘Delayed’ alarms (underspeed, low oil pressure etc) will be monitored after the end of the Safety
On delay.
The generator will run off load, unless the mains (utility) supply fails or a Remote Start on load
signal is applied, at which point the load will be transferred to the generator so long as the
Warmup Timer (if configured) has expired.
The generator will continue to run on load regardless of the state of the mains (utility) supply or
remote start input until the Auto mode is selected.
If Auto mode is selected, and the mains supply is healthy with the remote start on load signal not
active, then the Remote Stop Delay Timer begins, after which, the load is transferred to the mains
(utility). The generator will then run off load allowing the engine a cooling down period.
Selecting STOP (O) de-energises the FUEL SOLENOID, bringing the generator to a stop.
