[RE-wrenches] need to set up an older generac remote start circuit

[Kirk Herander]

Hello folks,

This Generac belongs to an old customer. He picked it up used. Runs good,
but apparently was used w/ an ATS, which is no longer present.
No doc's, no labels to identify model.

But I have set up a remote start in a similar model 20+ years ago.w/o the
ATS, just can't remember how. Terminals 23 & 194 connect to the ATS
contactor coil to change state when it starts, I just can't remember the
*easy* way to initiate the start command itself. There don't appear to be
additional terminals for a dedicated start signal.

The red and black wires come from inverter AC to keep battery trickle
charger energized, etc. I wonder if simulating loss of this AC, with genny
control switch in auto mode, would initiate the run cycle.

In the meantime, any insights from my fellow old-timers (new ones welcome,
too)? Thanks.
