(field-supplied).
NOTE: All conductors are to be rated for minimum 300V.
Control system interconnections may consist of N1, N2,
and T1, and leads 23 and 194.All of the generator con-
trol wiring circuits are Class 1 remote control or signaling
circuits. Class 1 circuits are required to be installed in
accordance with Part 1 of NEC Article 300 and with a
NEC recognized Chapter 3 wiring method. The use of
low voltage cables for the generator control circuit wiring
is prohibited. See instruction manual of the specific
engine generator for wiring connection details Recom-
mended wire gauge sizes for this wiring depends on wire
length, as recommended in Table 6-3.
Exception: Conductors of AC and DC circuits, rated
1000 volts nominal or less, shall be permitted to occupy
the same equipment, cable, or conduit. All conductors
shall have an insulation rating equal to at least the maxi-
mum circuit voltage applied to any conductor within the
equipment, cable, or conduit See NEC 300.3(C)(1).
4. See Figure 6-1. Strip insulation from wire ends. Do
not remove excessive insulation Route sense
wires through supplied wire tie (Cl), and connect
to sense wire terminal block (B). Push down on
spring loaded connection point with a flat head
screwdriver, insert wire, and release.
5. Using the same process, route control wires
through second supplied wire tie (C2), and connect
to control wire terminal block (A).
6. When all wires are securely connected to correct
terminals, tighten wire ties and clip excess length
NOTE: Only bare wire should be inserted into each ter-
minal. Do not insert any wire insulation into terminals.
NOTE: Damage caused by mis-wiring of the intercon-
nect wires is not warrantable.

Interconnect System Self Test Feature
This controller goes through a system self test at power
up, which checks for utility voltage on DC circuits. This
check prevents damage if installer incorrectly connected
AC utility power sense wires into the DC terminal block.
The controller will display a warning message and lock
out the generator if utility voltage is detected at the DC
terminal block, preventing damage to the controller.
Power to controller must be removed to clear this warn-
ing.
Utility voltage must be turned on and present at the N1
and N2 terminals inside the generator control panel for
this test to be performed and pass.
NOTE: All appropriate panels must be in place during
any operation of generator. This includes operation by a
servicing technician, while conducting troubleshooting
procedures.
Before starting, complete the following:.
1. Verify generator is OFF.
2. Set generator main circuit breaker to OFF (OPEN)'
3. Turn OFF all breakers to be powered by generator.
4. Verify auxiliary shutdown switch(es) are CLOSED
M.
5. Check engine crankcase oil level and, if necessary,
fill,to oil dipstick FULL mark with recommended oil.
Do not overfill.
6. Inspect fuel supply. Gaseous fuel lines must have
been correctly purged and leak tested-in accor-
dance with applicable fuel-gas codes.All fuel shut-
off valves in the fuel supply lines must be open.
During initial start up only, generator may exceed normal
number of start attempts and experience an "OVER-
CRANK" fault. This is due'to accumulated air in the fuel
system during installation. Reset control board by press-
ing OFF mode button and ENTER button, and restart up
to two more times if necessary. If unit fails to start, con-
tact an IASD for assistance.
