DCA70SSIU4F 60 HZ GENERATOR DSE8610 MKII • OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #0 (08/11/22) — PAGE 41
STARTING (AUTO MODE)
DANGER
Before connecting this generator to any
building’s electrical system, a licensed
electrician must install an isolation
(transfer) switch. Serious damage to
the building’s electrical system may occur
without this transfer switch.
CAUTION
When connecting the generator to an isolation (transfer)
switch, ALWAYS have power applied to the generator’s
internal battery charger. This will ensure that the engine
will not fail due to a dead battery.
WARNING
When running the generator in the AUTO mode,
remember the generator can start up at any time without
warning. NEVER attempt to perform any maintenance
when the generator is in the auto mode.
NOTICE
When the generator is set in the AUTO mode, the
generator will automatically start in the event of
commercial power falling below a prescribed level
by means of a contact closure that is generated
automatically by a transfer switch.
NOTICE
When the generator is placed in the AUTO mode, the
engine glow plugs will be warmed and the engine will
start automatically.
GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE (AUTO MODE)
When starting the generator in AUTO mode use the
“Manual Start-Up” procedure except where noted (see
below).
1. Perform steps 1 through 4 in the "Before Starting"
section and steps 1 through 3 in the "Manual Starting"
section.
2. Press the AUTO button (Figure 59) on the controller.

3. Once in AUTO mode, the controller monitors the auto
start contacts awaiting a closure. A closed contact
signal will start the engine, automatically closing the
contactor. Reference Figure 47.
If an open contact signal is transmitted this will cause
the engine to shutdown and the OPEN contactor lamp
will be lit (GREEN).
