Auto
This button places the module into its
‘Automatic’
mode. This mode allows the module to
control the function of the generator automatically. The module will monitor the remote start
input and mains supply status and once a start request is made, the set will be automatically
started and placed on load.
Upon removal of the starting signal, the module will automatically transfer the load from the
generator and shut the set down observing the stop delay timer and cooling timer as
necessary. The module will then await the next start event. For further details, please see the
more detailed
description of ‘Auto operation’ elsewhere in this manual.
START
This button is only active in STOP/RESET
or MANUAL
mode.
Pressing this button in manual or test mode will start the engine and run off load (manual) or
on load (test).
Pressing this button in STOP/RESET mode will turn on the CAN engine ECU (when correctly
configured and fitted to a compatible engine ECU)
Mute / Lamp Test
This button silences the audible alarm if it is sounding and illuminates all of the LEDs as a
lamp test feature.
When correctly configured and fitted to a compatible engine ECU, pressing this button in
STOP/RESET mode after pressing the START
button (to power the ECU) will cancel any
“passive” alarms on the engine ECU.
Menu navigation

manual.
6.2 MANUAL MODE
Activate Manual mode be pressing
the pushbutton. An LED indicator beside the button confirms this
action.
Manual mode allows the operator to start and stop the set manually, and if required change the state of the
load switching devices.
Scheduled runs do not occur when the module is in
Manual Mode
waiting for a start request.
6.2.1 WAITING IN MANUAL MODE
When in manual mode, the set will not start automatically.
To begin the starting sequence, press the
button.
6.2.2 STARTING SEQUENCE
The engine will pre heat.
The fuel relay is energised and the engine is cranked.
If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt then the starter motor is disengaged for the
crank rest
duration after which the next start attempt is made. Should this sequence continue beyond the set number of
attempts, the start sequence will be terminated and the display shows
Fail to Start.
When the engine fires, the starter motor is disengaged.
After the starter motor has disengaged, the
Safety On
timer activates, allowing Oil Pressure, High Engine
Temperature, Under-speed, Charge Fail and any delayed Auxiliary fault inputs to stabilise without triggering
the fault.
NOTE:- There is no
start delay
in this mode of operation.
NOTE:- The unit has been configured for CAN the ECU will receive the start command via CAN.
