OPERATING THE ENGINE
PT-ECU-64 CONTROLLED
ENGINE STARTING CONTROLS
1) Generator Main Switch must be in the ON position.
2) Toggle the Start/Stop Switch to the Start position.
3) Glow Plugs will preheat for 8 seconds. LED flashes slowly.
4) Preheating will cease during engine cranking cycle. LED continues flashing.
5) Engine begins an 8 seconds crank cycle, After 4 seconds of cranking the PT-ECU-64 will check
for an AC signal from the generator. If an AC signal is verified the engine will start and the LED
will remain ON during the normal run operation. If the AC signal is not verified the PT-ECU-64
will terminate the cranking cycle and LED will flash a fault code.
6) Starter disengages immediately after engine run is verified.
7) PT-ECU-64 deactivates the Low Oil Pressure and High Water Temperature Switches for 6
seconds, this will assure oil pressure build-up time. If oil pressure does not build-up the engine will
immediately shut down and go into a fault mode. Likewise for a high temperature situation.
8) If engine will not start on the first attempt the PT-ECU-64 will initiate the start cycle 2 more times
before going into a fault mode. Glow Plugs will preheat for 8 seconds per attempt. Engine will
crank for 8 seconds per attempt.
9) To shut down the engine under normal operations, toggle the Start/Stop Switch to the Stop
position.
10) If a fault occurs turn Generator Main Switch OFF and then ON to reset PT-ECU-64.
CHECKING ENGINE AFTER STARTING
1) Allow the engine to warm up 3 to 5 minutes before applying a load. In colder climates allow a few
extra minutes longer.
2) Perform a visual inspection of all areas of the engine and generator.
3) Listen for any abnormal noises.
4) Check for any abnormal exhaust gases.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
It is recommended to disconnect or reduce the power load from the generator before shutting down the
engine. Then follow the steps outlined above for normal shut down.
IMPORTANT: Damage to the Starter Motor, Starter Solenoid, Run Solenoid or any generator component
due to excessive or prolonged starting attempts attributed to an external Low Battery Control Monitoring
or Auto-Start System will not be covered by the Power Technology Southeast, Inc. Limited Warranty.
