• For control wiring, use #14 AWG wire for all electrical
connections except battery connections.
• For battery connection, terminals 6, 7, 8 and 11, use the
following:
#10 AWG: 0' to 25' (7.62 m)
# 8 AWG: 25' to 50' (15.2 m)
Turn the mode selector switch to the “OFF” position 9.2 Manual Start Test

Refer to section 5 in this manual.
Press the Crank #1 pushbutton. The Engine will crank and start,
9.1 Automatic Start Test the “Engine Run” annunciator will illuminate.
Turn the mode selector switch to the “AUTO” position. Pres the STOP pushbutton. Wait for the engine to stop. Turn the
mode selector switch to the “Manual” position.
Ensure that water pressure is available and the LCD display on
the display panel is reading the system pressure correctly. Press the Crank #2 pushbutton. The Engine will crank and start,
the “Engine Run” annunciator will illuminate.
Decrease water pressure below the programmed start point.
The controller will begin its cranking cycle. Press the STOP pushbutton. The engine will stop. The engine
will stop.
Should the engine fail to start after 6 crank and rest cycles, the
audible alarm will sound and the “Fail To Start” annunciator
will illuminate. Turning the mode selector switch to the “OFF”
position will silence the alarm.
When engine starts, “Engine Run” annunciator illuminates.
NOTE
Engine will shutdown if Low Oil Pressure, High Water Temp or Overspeed
alarms are detected during the engine test.
