Wiring harness Connections to the generator, thermostats, and external on/off switches
are made using a wiring harness that plugs into the 20-contact connector
(see Figure 2-1). The wires on the wiring harness can be extended to meet
installation requirements. When extending the wire harness, ensure that
the extension wires are the same color as the wires on the harness.
To install the Auto Gen Start using the wiring harness:
1. Connect each wire on the harness to its intended wire or contact on
the generator, thermostats, or external switches.
2. Plug the harness into the connector on the bottom panel of the Auto
Gen Start.
Wire
identification Each wire on the harness is identified by a number and a color. The wire
numbers are shown in Figure 2-2 and their colors and functions are
described in Table 2-1.
Wire size and
length Required wire sizes for the external connections to the wiring harness are:
When planning the routing for external connections, ensure that wire
lengths are sufficient to plug the wiring harness into the Auto Gen Start
once all the external connections are complete.
