panel is available
for
controlling the generator from a remote location. Remote start panels include a green
LED which lights when the engine runs at approximately 600 rpm. The purpose
of
the LED is
to
alert the
operator
to
release the starter toggle switch in addition
to
continue indicating that the generator set is run-
ning. An optional remote instrument panel is available, which includes starting controls. This panel also in-
cludes a water temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, battery voltmeter, operating hourmeter and start-stop
control switches.

Description
The two-pole ON switch is operated
to
bypass the protective shutdown switches during starting. The second
pole provides a source
of
B +
to
the START toggle switch. While continuing
to
hold the ON switch,
to
provide
B
+
to
the start switch and
to
bypass the protective shutdown switches, the START switch is pressed
to
ener-
gize the starter
to
crank the engine. If you are starting the generator at the generator set, release the START
switch when the generator is running. If starting the generator at a remote location, release the START switch
when the green LED
lights, but continue depressing the ON switch. After releasing the START switch con-
tinue holding the ON switch until oil pressure is sufficient
to
close the oil pressure safety switch, providing
the
normal B + path
to
the ignition system. Note that it is
now
impossible
to
energize the starter while the
generator is running until someone again operates the ON switch first. Should the generator shut down from
an overspeed condition, the overspeed circuit
must be reset before attempting
to
restart the generator. This
is done
by
simply depressing the STOP switch momentarily and then proceeding with the normal starting
procedure.
IWARNINGI
It
is very important that the overspeed shutdown 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-clriven governor fail and cause the generator
to
run away.
To STOP the generator, depress the STOP switch, which opens the normally closed B + path on the ON
and START switches. 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 be-
tween the
T1
and T2 connections at the panel connection terminal board.
