Preparing for Automatic/Remote Start-Up (Basler)

Background When the engine start switch is in the REMOTE START position, the generator can
be started remotely through a automatic transfer switch or other type of remote
start switch.
CAUTION
Possibility of unexpected machine startup. If the contacts on a remote switch
connected to the generator are closed, the machine could start unexpectedly when
the engine start switch is set to the REMOTE START position.
► Be prepared for engine startup anytime the engine start switch is in the
REMOTE START position.
► Before placing the engine start switch in the REMOTE START position, verify
that the contacts on any remote/transfer switch connected to the generator are
OFF (OPEN).
Procedure Before operating the machine in the remote start mode, do the following:
1. Perform a manual start to verify that the LCD panel is operating correctly. Refer
to topics Before Starting and Starting and Running the Machine.
a. Check the fuel level and add fuel as needed.
b. Check the battery voltage. Charge the battery if needed.
2. Check the operation of the remote
start circuit:
a. Attach a short jumper wire (a)
(minimum 16-gauge insulated)
between the two terminals on the
remote run terminal block. The
jumper wire completes the circuit
which initializes the genset
controller start sequence.
b. Set the engine start switch to the
REMOTE START position.
c. Wait for the engine to crank, start,
and run.
d. Move the engine start switch to OFF to stop the engine.
e. Remove the jumper wire from the remote run terminals.
3. Set the voltage selector switch to the correct voltage position.
4. Set the engine start switch to the REMOTE START position.
5. Set the main line circuit breaker to ON.
6. Secure the generator by closing and locking all doors.
The generator is now ready for remote starting.
Maintaining If the generator is to be used as a stand-by power supply, provisions must be made
battery charge
to maintain the charge of the battery. This can be done either by attaching a battery
charger to the battery or by starting and running the engine periodically.
