TP-6195 1/044 Section 2 Operation
2.3.1 Controls and Indicators
Figure 2-2 describes the controls and indicators located
on the generator set controller.
The LED display indicates generator set status as
shown in Figure 2-2. The display is activated by a start
or run command and remains active until the generator
set master switch is moved to the OFF/RESET position
or power to the controller is removed. If the
factory-installed continuous power mode jumper has
been disconnected, the LED display turns off 48 hours
after generator set shutdown. See Section 2.3.6.
The buttons on the controller keypad are used only for
system configuration and adjustment. The controller is
factory-set and should not require configuration or
adjustment under normal operating conditions. Contact
an authorized distributor/dealer or service technician if
adjustments are required.
2.3.2 Starting the Generator Set
The following procedures describe the actions required
to start the generator set.
The controller attempts to start the generator set three
times (three crank cycles, 15 seconds crank and 15
seconds off). If the generator set does not start in three
attempts, the system shuts down on an overcrank fault.
Local Starting
Move the generator set master switch to the RUN
position to immediately start the generator set.
Auto (Automatic) Starting
Move the generator set master switch to the AUTO
position to allow startup by the ATS or the remote
start/stop switch. (A remote start/stop switch can be
connected to controller leads 3 and 4. See the wiring
diagrams in Section 5).
2.3.3 Stopping the Generator Set
The following procedures describe the actions required
to stop the generator set.
Local Stopping
1. Run the generator set at no load for at least
2 minutes to ensure adequate engine cooldown.
2. Move the generator set master switch to the
OFF/RESET position. The engine stops.
Automatic Stopping
With the generator set master switch in the AUTO
position and an automatic transfer switch (ATS) or other
automatic device connected to controller leads 3 and 4:
1. The ATS or other device disconnects the load from
the generator set.
2. If the ATS is equipped with an engine cooldown
time delay, the generator set continues to run for a
preset engine cooldown time.
Note: There is no engine cooldown time delay on
the ADC controller.
3. The ATS or other device opens the connection
between controller leads 3 and 4. The generator
set shuts down.
