Description 

The GSCM-mini-P (Pulse) is a micro-processor based 
generator start-stop module, designed to auto start-
stop generators that need a 3 to 4 wire connection 
from a 2 wire 12 volt manual start command.  The 
GSCM-mini-P automatically goes into run mode 
when it either receives a remote start indication 
lamp signal (connected to terminal 8) or an AC Hz 
signal from the generator (AC connected to terminals 
9 & 10
).  Various LEDs are blinked or turned on to 
indicated the run or fault status of the GSCM-mini-P.  
Manually resetting the GSCM-mini-P by removing 
the power and removes any lockout that allows the 
generator to restart if called to do so. 

The GSCM-mini-P is powered by 12VDC from the 
generator battery and can monitor the battery 
voltage and start the generator to charge its own 
battery.  The GSCM-mini-P is a limited function 
controller that is part of the GSCM family.

  

 

All auto start battery voltage thresholds are 
fixed, if adjustability is required use the GSCM 
full function Generator Start Control Module.
