REMOTE PANEL INSTALLATION
INSTALLER'S/OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY
1. Wiring between the generator set and either a remote start panel
or remote instrument panel must comply with u.S. Coast Guard
Safety Regulations 33 CFR-183.
2. The mimimum voltage required at the starter solenoid is 9 volts.
3.
Therefore, wire gauges from TBl-l to TB3-l and from TBl-2 to TB3-2
should be selected to give a maximum voltage drop of 1 volt or
less. This will provide 9 volts at the starter solenoid when bat-
tery terminal voltage is down to 10 volts, indicative of a deeply
discharged battery.
Where #16 wire
is shown in the table of Minimum Wire Gauges below,
we
recommend using
#14
wire for greater strength
and/or
lower
voltage drops.
