Introduction Safety Precautions

The digital gauge allows remote starting/stopping and
monitoring of certain generator set functions. These WARNING
generator sets have the ADC 2100 controller and a
12-pin customer-interface connector for connection to
the remote digital gauge. See Figure 1 for the remote
digital gauge controls.

Press the SELECT button until the display shows SEND
RUN or SEND STOP. Use the UP or DOWN arrow to
send a remote start/stop command.

Note: The ADC 2100 must be powered (display active)

and the master switch must be in the AUTO
position for remote start/stop. If the ADC 2100
master switch is in the RUN position, a remote
stop command will not stop the generator set.
The arrow at the top left side of the display blinks
to indicate that the generator set is running (see
Figure 7, item 2).

Refer to the generator set operation manual and follow

the safety precautions when operating the generator
set.
