8.5 2 WIRE AUTO START
Automatic Electric Starting of the MX8000IS by 2-Wire Auto Start.
1. Verify the battery is properly installed and both battery
cables are attached.
2. If the generator is left in non-operating standby whilst in
auto-start mode for an extended period or it starts and
stops frequently with a short operating time, the battery
may become excessively discharged and unable to
automatically start the generator. To ensure reliable
service, it is recommended that the battery be connected
in parallel to a main(12V) or solar-powered automatic
maintenance battery charger(12V).
3. Connect electrical cords or devices into the 240-Volt AC
or 12-Volt DC outlets, as required.
Switch the 240-Volt AC Main Circuit Breaker to the
ON position and ensure that the DC breaker is pushed in.
4. Connect the 2-wire auto start terminals to an external “dry”
or voltage-free circuit that will provide the start and stop
commands to the generator by closing and opening the
circuit, respectively.
5. Move the fuel shut off valve to the ON position.
6. Push the auto start control switch to the ON position.
7. Do not touch the choke lever. It will automatically adjust
itself to the correct position if the generator’s battery is
sufficiently charged.
8. Upon receiving a start” signal by closing of the external 2
wire remote control circuit, the generator will start
automatically. The generator will continue running until it
receives a remote “stop” command or is manually stopped
or runs out of fuel.
9. When the two-wire control switch is pressed ON, the one -
key start, cannot control the starting of the generator set.
10. Only the two-wire control socket (two core aviation)
socket can control the start and stopping of the
generator set.
