This configuration is used when the generator controller requires two wires to be closed to start and Run and then opened to stop the generator.

This configuration is used when the generator controller requires two wires to be momentarily closed then opened to Start and run and the same again to Stop the generator.

Check the generator controller documentation to ensure that the Start Time, which is the time the wires remain closed for, is sufficient to be acted upon. Testing if the generator starts and stops correctly will determine if the default two seconds is suitable.

This configuration is used when the generator controller requires one wire to be closed to a common wire to turn the controller On then another wire to be momentarily closed then opened to the common wire to Start the generator. The generator is stopped when the On wire is opened.

This configuration is used when the generator controller requires one wire to be momentarily closed then opened to a common wire to Start then another wire to be momentarily closed then opened to the common wire to Stop the generator.

Check the generator controller documentation to ensure that the Start Time, which is the time the wires remain closed for, is sufficient to be acted upon. Testing if the generator starts and stops correctly will determine if the default two seconds is suitable.

Three Wire Preheat / Run
This configuration is used when the generator controller requires one wire to be momentarily closed then opened to a common wire to Preheat generator then another wire closed to a common wire to start and Run and then opened to stop the generator.

Check the generator documentation to ensure that the Start Time, which is the time the Preheat wire will remain closed for, is sufficient to allow engine starting in all conditions. The default of 2 seconds is unlikely to be suitable.

This configuration is used when the generator controller requires one wire closed to a common wire start and Run the generator and another wire and momentarily closed then opened to a common wire to Stop the generator.

Check the generator controller documentation to ensure that the Start Time, which is the time the Stop wire will remain closed for, is sufficient to be acted upon. Testing if the generator stops correctly will determine if the default two seconds is suitable.

This configuration is used when the generator controller requires one wire to be closed to a common wire to turn the controller On then another wire to be momentarily closed then opened to the common wire to Start the generator. The generator is stopped when the On wire is opened and the Start disconnected from common.
