Wireless Remote Control
This generator is equipped with a wireless remote control
system for starting and stopping. The system consists of (4)
main components:
1. Receiver Control Module (RCM)
2. Remote Control
3. Battery Switch
4. Ignition Switch
5. Auto-Choke
The Remote Control functions are enabled when:
1. The Ignition Switch is in the “ON” position, AND
2. The Battery Switch is in the “ON” position.
The Remote Control functions are disabled if either of the above
conditions is not met.
To start the generator wirelessly, press the “START” button
on the Remote Control one time. The engine will attempt to
start (6) times. The RCM controls the Auto-Choke during each
attempt to start. If the generator does not start, call Champion
Customer Care team for assistance at 1-877-338-0999.
To stop the generator wirelessly, press the “STOP” button on
the Remote Control one time.
Remote Control Power Consumption
While the Ignition Switch is in the “ON” position, the RCM is
active and waiting for a remote signal. This function requires
electrical current from the battery. If the Ignition Switch is left
in the “ON” position for extended periods (several weeks), the
battery can be completely drained.
Moving the Ignition Switch to the “OFF” position disables the
Remote functions, but the RCM still consumes approximately
2 mA from the battery.
To prevent battery drain, press the Battery Switch to the “OFF”
position. This disconnects power to the RCM so there is no
current draw on the battery.
Control Panel Load Management
When the generator initially starts wirelessly, no voltage is
supplied to the Control Panel for approximately 15 seconds. This
allows the engine to reach full speed before electrical loads are
applied to the generator.
When the generator is stopped wirelessly, the voltage to the
Control Panel is immediately turned off. Then the engine stops
approximately 5 seconds after the “STOP” button on the
Remote Control is pressed. Turning the Control Panel voltage
off before the engine shutdown protects connected appliances
from being damaged by non-60 Hz voltage while the generator
coasts to a stop.
The on/off voltage delay at startup and shut down only happen
when the Remote Control is used. There is no voltage delay
when the push-button electric start or recoil start method is
used.
When the push-button electric start or recoil start method is
used, the operator must be sure all electrical loads (appliances)
are turned OFF during startup and shutdown. Damage to the
generator or the attached appliances can be caused by starting
or stopping the generator while appliances are plugged in and
turned ON.
