Automatic Operation Sequence
The generator’s control board constantly monitors utility
voltage. Should utility voltage drop below a preset level, the
control board signals the engine to crank and start. When
the utility voltage is restored above a preset voltage level,
the engine is signaled to shut down. The system operation is
not adjustable and is sequenced by sensors and timers on
the control board as follows:
Utility Voltage Dropout Sensor
• This sensor monitors utility source voltage
• If utility source voltage drops below about 70% of
the nominal supply voltage, the sensor energizes a 3
second timer. The timer is used to sense low voltage
conditions.
• Once the time has expired, the engine will crank and
start.
Engine Cool-Down Timer
When utility power is sensed and the load transfers to the
utility source, the engine will go into a cool down period as
described below:
• If the generator has run for MORE than 5 minutes, once
the utility transfer occurs, the engine will continue to run
for 1 minute before shutting down.
• If the generator has run for LESS than 5 minutes, once
the utility transfer occurs, the engine will continue to run
for 5 minutes before shutting down.
