GENERATOR CONTROL SEQUENCE
The relays close in a specific sequence to start the generator. Some of the timing periods are adjustable
through the GEN STARTING DETAILS (13) menu heading. The two generator control relays complete
the following start sequence:
Figure 22, Relay RY7 and RY8 Sequence
Next 'auto

Start
sequence
has been
initiated
The '
auto
generator
start
sequence' is initiated if the battery voltage remains below the '
Set start volts DC
' setting (unless
'Start/End Quiet time h:m' is enabled) for the required period of time or the 'Read LBCO 30 sec start VDC' setting for 30 seconds;
or if the load amps reaches the 'Load Start amp AC' setting longer than the 'Set Load Start delay min' period. The manual
generator start sequence is initiated if generator is manually turned on via 'Set Generator' to ON.
The auto generator
stop
sequence is initiated if: (1)
The battery voltage has been
held at the
'Set Bulk volts DC'
setting for the 'Set Absorption
time h:m' period or (2) The
load amps drops below the
'Load Start amps AC' setting
for longer than the 'Set Load
Stop delay min'
period.
