TP-6687 9/10 18 Section 3 Operation and Use
Note: To reset all the activated protection signals,
select the Manual Mode (position I) on the
Machine Status Switch.
2. Engine Start Button:
The generator engine is started in manual mode by
pressing the Engine Start Button. Keep the button
pressed until the green LED switches on indicating
a successful start of the engine. The system has a
safety device that prevents the starter motor from
activation should the Engine Start Button be
accidentally pressed while the engine is on.
The controller is preset to only crank the engine for
a maximum of 5 seconds per start attempt to
protect the engine starter motor.
If a second
attempt to start the engine is required, press the
Engine Start Button again.
Note: Start the engine (press the Engine Start
Button) only after the yellow LED for the
Glow
Plug Preheating Sensor is
switched off.

4. Battery Recharge Standby Mode:
A red LED.
If the Machine Status Switch is in the Automatic
Mode (position II), the LED is illuminated to
indicate that the automatic battery charging
system is activated in the standby mode. If the
battery voltage drops below the minimum set
value, the system will activate the automatic
start sequence.
The integrated automatic battery charging
system
has been designed to operate
automatically (if the Machine Status Switch is in
the Automatic Mode—position II) every time
the battery voltage reading (13.6 volts as
standard) is lower than the minimum set value,
equivalent to approx. 12.0 volts or 12.3 volts.
Controller Options GM75866-KP1 and
GM75866-KP2: A maximum of 5 automatic
start attempts is set as the default.
Controller Option GM75866-KP3: The
maximum number of autostarts is not limited.
The maximum starting motor cranking time is
5 seconds for each attempt.
The minimum set time for unit battery recharge
is 2.5 hours of uninterrupted operation (max.
110 A/h DC).
On the basis of tests carried out, the average
time set is considered to be enough to provide
correct recharge for a battery in good working
condition.
After the battery is recharged, the controller will
automatically shutdown the generator and will
resume monitoring of the battery voltage.
Note: Before starting the engine, the automatic battery
recharge start system must wait for the glow plug
preheating time and for the yellow LED for the
Glow Plug Preheating Sensor to be switched off.
Note: Controller Options GM75866-KP1 and
GM75866-KP2: The battery recharge system is
set to a maximum of 5 consecutive battery
recharge cycles (about 12.5 hours). If a higher
number of cycles is needed, there might be a
problem with the battery. The system will activate
the engine protection and the red LED for the
Battery Recharge Standby Mode will start flashing.
Note: Controller Option GM75866-KP3: If autostarts
occur every 2.5 hours, there might be a
battery/recharging
problem. Contact an
authorized distributor/dealer.

6. Operating Engine Status:
A green LED.
The Operating Engine Status indicates the
generator engine is started. After the engine
stops, the LED automatically switches off.
7. Engine Oil Pressure Sensor:
A red LED protection.
The Engine Oil Pressure Sensor monitors the
engine oil pressure.
If the oil pressure
decreases to less than the minimum set value
(less than 1.4 bar (20.3 psi)), the LED is
illuminated and the engine will shut down
automatically after 3 seconds.
In case of
failure, the LED will stay on to indicate the type
of failure.
8. Engine Oil Temperature Sensor:
A red LED protection.
The Engine Oil Temperature Sensor monitors
the engine oil temperature. If the engine oil
temperature increases over the maximum set
value (greater than 130
°
C or 266
°
F), the LED
is illuminated and the engine will be shutdown
automatically after 3 seconds.
In case of
failure, the LED will stay on to indicate the type
of failure.
