Route the 2-wire start control wires through suit-
able, approved conduit which is separate from the
AC power leads. Connection of wire 178 to wire 183
by relay contact closure action (volt free switch con-
tacts) in the transfer switch must result in generator
engine cranking and startup (see Figure 5).

Do NOT connect battery voltage, utility voltage
(N1/N2) or load voltage (T1/T2) to either the
178 or the 183 2-wire start terminals as this will
damage the generator control board.

In order for the generator battery charger function
to work, it is necessary to provide a 120Vac util-
ity source connection to the generator wiring panel
LINE, NEUTRAL and GND terminals (see Figure 5).

When in GTS mode, the control board will respond
as follows based on the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch
position.

AUTO: The control board will monitor the 2-wire
start circuit. When the 2-wire start wire 178 is con-
nected to 2-wire start wire 183, via a relay contact
closure in the W-type transfer switch, the control
board will start and run the generator. When the
2-wire start wire connection is opened the control
board will stop the generator.

VOLTAGE REGULATOR ADJUSTMENT
Although adjustment potentiometers are provided on
the voltage regulator installed in the control panel,
the voltage regulator potentiometers have been set at
the factory and should NOT be re-adjusted.
