1 DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
To start the generator turn the key switch to the hand position, which will power up the unit.
If at this time the auxiliary input is active the
led will be illuminated, preventing the start of the
generator.
Pressing the pre-heat
button will energise the pre-heat output. Releasing the button will de-
energise the output.
Pressing the start
button will energise the Fuel Solenoid output, then the Starter Motor
output. The button should be pressed for the duration of the crank period.
When the engine fires, the starter motor is disengaged and locked out at 20 Hz measured from the
Alternator output.
After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On timer is activated (which is fixed at 12
seconds), allowing Oil Pressure, High Engine Temperature and Charge Fail to stabilise without
triggering the fault.
Turning the key to STOP
de-energises the FUEL SOLENOID, bringing the generator to a stop.
NOTE: - The safety on time (used for delayed alarms) is pre set to 12 seconds and can
not be changed.
NOTE: - If the generator has not started when the start button has been released
or the generator fails once it is running, the key switch must be turned to STOP and
then back to before another start can be invoked.
NOTE: - If pre-heat is required during cranking, the pre-heat button should be
pressed at the same time as the start button.
NOTE: - The 701HC start button is represented by
