3. Press the DOWN key until “Basic Setup” is highlighted and press the
enter key.
4. Press the down key to select “Contrast Adj.” and press enter.
5. Use the up and down keys to adjust the contrast and then press enter.
6. Then scroll up to select “Back” and press enter. Repeat this again to exit
the menu system and go back to the OFF mode.
The controller will then enter the OFF mode. By default, it is possible to manually
start the generator in the OFF Mode. The user can disable manual start in OFF
mode in the basic menu (in which case the GSC400 must be in the AUTO mode
to manually start the generator). See section 4.8.2 on page 89 for the basic
menu.
Pressing the Auto key will cause the controller to enter the AUTO mode. From
this mode, the user can manually put the controller into RUN mode (i.e. start the
generator) or the controller itself will be able to start the generator automatically if
required (e.g. low battery start if enabled).
The controller has the ability to remember whether it was in the OFF or AUTO
mode the last time it was powered up and will reenter that mode when it is
repowered.
4.2.1 Controller Alarming
If the emergency stop input of the digital input terminal is not connected to
ground the controller will alarm and display “Emergency Stop” when connected.
Emergency Stop also forces the controller to the OFF mode. To prevent this
ground the emergency stop input (pin 9) to either of the grounds (pins 11 or 12)
on the digital input terminal. See Figure 4 on page 17.
4.3 Remote Start Contacts / Emergency Stop
The GSC400 has a dedicated remote start contact located on the configurable
switched input connector. A grounded signal on the contact when the controller
is in AUTO mode (see below for more information on the AUTO mode) will cause
the controller to start. Removing the ground will cause the controller to go back
into AUTO mode.
It is also possible to set one of the configurable switched inputs as a remote start
contact. This feature works the same way as the dedicated remote start (active =
start).
The GSC400 also has a dedicated emergency stop input that when open will
stop the generator immediately and the controller will enter the OFF mode (see
below for more information on the OFF mode) and remain in the OFF mode until
the emergency stop input is grounded. While the emergency stop input is active
