MANUAL mode key | |
Press the MANUAL mode key in order to initiate the engine start sequence.
| Operation | Detail |
|---|---|
| The indicator above the key will illuminate and the display will briefly indicate: | MANUAL MODE |
| The indicator above the key will illuminate and the display will then indicate: | GENERATOR AT REST |

START key | |
Then, press the START key and hold the START key. When the module has begun the engine start sequence, the key may be released. It is also possible to configure the module so that the START key must be held pressed. The engine will crank until the disconnect speed is reached. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Control Module - Configure".
| Operation | Detail |
|---|---|
| The indicator above the key will illuminate and the display will briefly indicate: | START |
| If the preheat output is configured, the preheat timer is initiated. The programmable output that is selected will energize. | PRE-HEATING 00:09 |
| After the preheat timer expires, the module will de-energize the preheat output. The module begins to start the engine. The following sequence occurs: | PRE-HEATING 00:00 |
| The fuel solenoid is energized. After a 1 second delay, the starting motor is engaged. | Fuel ON |
| The engine is cranked for the duration of the cranking time (10 seconds). | CRANKING attempt. 1 00:08 |
When the engine starts, the starting motor is disengaged. The starting motor is disconnected from the alternator when the output reaches a frequency of 21 Hz. If an engine speed sensor is mounted on the flywheel housing, the engine speed sensor will be used for terminating cranking. Also, the engine speed sensor will be used for the alternator voltage and the oil pressure. If an engine speed sensor is utilized, it is possible to configure the module in another way. This configuration de-energizes the starter relay if the starting motor fails to engage on the first attempt. Then, another attempt to engage will be made. Refer to the "P810 For Windows" software manual for more information on this function.
| Operation | Detail |
|---|---|
| The duration of the cranking timer is 10 seconds. If the engine does not start on the first attempt, the module will rest the starter for the duration of the crank rest timer(10 seconds). | CRANK REST. 1 00:04 |
| The crank rest timer expires after 10 seconds. Then, the module will attempt to start the engine. | CRANKING attempt2 00:07 |
This will be repeated until either the engine starts or 3 attempts to start have been completed.
| Operation | Detail |
|---|---|
| If the engine does not start after 3 attempts, a fail to start alarm will occur. | SHUTDOWN FAILED TO START |
Note: If a fail to start alarm occurs, the module must be placed into the STOP/RESET mode by pressing the STOP/RESET key. Refer to Illustration 3. Determine the reason that the engine failed to start before you make any further attempts to start the engine.
If the engine start is successful, the following sequence occurs:
| Operation | Detail |
|---|---|
| When the starting motor is disengaged, the safety on timer is activated. | WAITING FOR SAFETY ON 00:08 |
The timer allows the following inputs to stabilize without triggering a fault: oil pressure, high engine temperature, underspeed, undervoltage, charge fail and delayed programmable fault inputs.
| Operation | Detail |
| The safety on timer expires after 10 seconds. Then, the engine is running and full fault protection is made available. | GENERATOR AVAILABLE |

STOP/RESET key | |
When you press the STOP/RESET key, the fuel solenoid will de-energize. This brings the engine to rest.
| Operation | Detail |
|---|---|
| While the engine is brought to rest, the module will start the fail to stop timer. | STOP/RESET |
| While the engine is brought to rest, the module will start the fail to stop timer. | STOPPING 00:24 |
| The fail to stop timer expires after 30 seconds. If the engine is running, an alarm will occur. | SHUTDOWN FAIL TO STOP |
| If the engine stops during the fail to stop timer, the screen displays the following message: | GENERATOR AT REST |
Note: The load transfer output does not normally activate during a manual start. If the remote start terminal is activated once the engine is running, the load transfer output will be activated. The load transfer output will remain active until the engine is stopped.
