Accessory Electrical Connections
There are numerous accessories which can be
connected to the generator set including remote
annunciator, audio-visual alarm, dry contact relay kit,
and remote emergency stop switch. See Section 1—
Accessories
and
an
authorized
service
distributor/dealer for a list of available accessories.
Most of the accessories operate on 12 volts DC and
some may require AC line voltage.
Do not
direct-connect accessories to the controller terminal
strip. Connect all accessories to either a single-relay dry
contact kit or ten-relay dry contact kit. Connect the dry
contact kit(s) to the controller terminal strip. Use
separate conduit for AC and DC leads to reduce the
possibility of electrical interference especially with the
microprocessor controller. Verify that leads and conduit
do not interfere with the operation of the generator set or
obstruct the service areas.
Verify that electrical
installation complies with the National Electrical Code
(NEC) and is done by a licensed electrician. Follow all
applicable local and state codes. See Wiring Diagrams
Manual for more information regarding generator set
electrical connections.
