GENERATOR SHUT-DOWN PROCEDURES
STARTING (AUTO MODE)
DANGER
Before connecting this generator to any
building’s electrical system, a licensed
electrician must install an isolation
(transfer) switch. Serious damage to
the building’s electrical system may occur
without this transfer switch.
NOTICE
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
NOTICE
When the MPEC control switch is placed in the AUTO
mode, the generator will automatically start in the
event of commercial power falling below a prescribed
level by means of a contact closure that is generated
automatically by a transfer switch.
In this position (AUTO), should an outage occur, the
automatic transfer switch (ATS) will start the generator
automatically via the generator's auto-start contacts
connected to the ATS's start contacts.
Please refer to your ATS installation manual for further
instructions for the correct installation of the auto-start
contacts of the generator to the ATS.
WARNING
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.
1. Place the MPEC Control Switch (Figure 36) in the
AUTO position.
