the auxiliaries control plate must not exceed
2 meters. The interconnection wiring has to
be done by the customer

UA operation
 in case of loss of “MAINS“
a volt free contact within the UA changes state which

is used to automatically start the generator.
The UA and contactor "R" are then re-energised by the
generator
