DCA-150SSVU — GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE (AUTO MODE)
Before connecting this
generator to any
building’s electrical
system, a licensed
electrician must install
an
isolation (transfer)
switch. Serious injury or death may result without this
transfer switch.
DANGER:
1. Perform steps1 through 5 in the Before Starting section
(page 41) as outlined in the Manual Starting Procedure.
2. Set the engine speed switch (Figure 62) to the “HIGH”
position.
4. Continue to follow the steps outlined in the “ Manual
Start-up” procedure (start at step 9, page 42).
Figure 62. Engine Speed Switch (High)
When running the generator in the “AUTO“
mode, remember the generator can start up
at any time without warning. NEVER attempt
to perform any maintenance when the
generator is in the auto mode.
WARNING:
When connecting the generator to a
isolation (transfer) switch, ALWAYS have
power applied to the generator's internal
battery charger. This will ensure that the
engine will not fail due to a dead battery.
CAUTION:
Figure 63. Off/Manual Auto Switch (AUTO)
3. Place the Off/Manual/Auto switch (Figure 63) in the
“AUTO“ position .
NOTE
When the generator is set in the
“AUTO” mode, the generator will
automically start in the event of
comercial power falling below a
prescribed level by means of a
contact closure that is generated
automatically by a transfer switch.
The Engine Speed Switch must be set
to the “HIGH” position when running in the
Auto-Start mode. Failing to set the switch
in the proper position can result in damage
to your generator when it turns on.
CAUTION:
