Auto gen start [RE-wrenches]

[David Palumbo, Independent Power & Light]

Jay,

Thanks for that info. I checked with a new Mate I have here and that is
indeed the case.

For my education - you said to use a 12v relay (which I understand is
usually used so the Aux dry contacts on the OB do not want to see any
current) then you say "but the Kohler is ground started". Does this but mean
that we really don't need the 12v relay in this start circuit because there
is no current? I'm unclear as to the necessity of the 12v relay in this
case. DP

<< You will only need a 12v relay as the contacts from the FX are 12
powered, but the Kohler is ground started.  So just connect the relay
to close on command from the aux relay and hook up the NO contacts to
the genny and you are set to go. >> Jay
