• External Shutdown—When the Auto Gen Start is connected to a
sensor or meter (a moisture detector, for example) wired to contacts 5
and 6 of the 20-contact connector, it stops the generator when the
device is activated. See “Connecting an external shutdown
(optional)” on page 2–23.
• External On/Off—The generator is manually started or stopped with a
switch wired to contacts 7 and 8 of the 20-contact connector. See
“Connecting an external manual on/off switch (optional)” on page 2–
23. When started with an external manual on/off switch, the generator
will not stop when it reaches Max Run Time. You must stop the
generator using the external manual on/off switch.
• Max Run Time—When the generator has exceeded its maximum run
time, a warning message will appear on the System Control Panel.
The Auto Gen Start will stop operating until you acknowledge the
warning by pressing Enter on the System Control Panel. See “Max
Run Time” on page 3–29.
• Manual On—The generator is started by selecting Manual On mode.
• Manual Off—The generator is stopped by selecting Manual Off
mode.
Manual On When you need to manually start the generator, select
Manual On. Selecting Manual On mode overrides the automatic start
settings and manually starts the generator. The generator will run until it
is manually stopped or until it reaches its Auto Gen Start-defined
Maximum Run Time (see “Max Run Time” on page 3–29).
Manual Off When you need to manually stop the generator, select
Manual off. Selecting Manual Off mode overrides the automatic stop
settings and manually stops the generator. You must select Manual Off to
stop the generator when the generator has been started manually. The
Auto Gen Start will not automatically start the generator again until you
select Automatic.
Important: The Auto Gen Start mode must be set to Manual Off before you
change any start trigger parameters.
