APPLICATION 2 - REMOTE RV GENERATOR START CONSOLE REPLACEMENT
The GSCM-mini-d can be used
to replace a typical remote
generator control console, that
is mounted on the dash of a
motorhome. Instead of a large
console and cable, use a small
16 to 18 gauge 4 wire signal
cable, an on-off switch with built
in light and a separate 12vdc
fault light. When the remote
switch is turned on, the GSCM-
mini-d starts the generator.
After the generator starts and
comes up to speed the “run”
LED lights on the GSCM mini
and lights the remote start
switch light. If the generator fails
to
start or fails while
commanded to run the “fault”
LED on the GSCM- mini-d lights
along with the remote fault
12vdc light. Turning off the
power to the GSCM mini resets
the fault condition and it is ready
to receive another start
command.
APPLICATION 3 - GenMate PC BOARD REPLACEMENT
The GSCM-mini-d can be used to
replace a GenMate PC Board, that
is mounted on the upper console
of a motor coach. The GSCM-mini-
D uses the same 6 wires that the
GenMate used to start and stop the
diesel generator based on battery
voltage. When the coach battery
voltage falls below 11.5vdc the
GSCM-mini-D starts the generator
to charge the batteries. When the
batteries
reach 13.8vdc the
GSCM-mini-D shut down the
generator. An optional manual
start switch can be added to
manually start the generator for
other uses. A power/reset switch
is recommended to reset any fault
conditions and to shutdown the
auto start when generator is being
serviced. For 24v systems the
GSCM-mini-D must be power from
12vdc and the battery sense input
(terminal 4) would wire directly to
the positive of the 24v battery bank.
