Wireless Remote Control
This generator is equipped with a wireless remote control system
for starting and stopping. The system consists of (5) main
components:
1. Receiver Control Module (RCM)
2. Remote Key Fob
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 key fob 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 key fob 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
key fob 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 key fob is used. There is no voltage delay when
the push-button electric start or recoil cord method is used.
When the push-button electric start or recoil cord 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.
