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. Wireless Remote
3. Battery Switch
4. Ignition Switch
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 by Remote Control, press the “START”
button on the Remote 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 by Remote Control, press the “STOP”
button on the Remote 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.
Generator Panel Load Management
When the generator initially starts by the Remote, no voltage is
supplied to the Generator 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 by the Remote, the voltage to
the Generator Panel is immediately turned off. Then the engine
stops approximately 5 seconds after the “STOP” button on the
Remote is pressed. Turning the Generator 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 pushbutton electric start or recoil
start method is used.
When the pushbutton 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.
