GlowStop Mode
For generators with GlowStop mode starting types (Types 1, 2, 3, 6, 12):
•
Relay 1 (Stop) and Relay 2 (Start) can be used with a common ground 
for three-wire configured generators.
•
The Preheat signal shows up on Relay 1 and also Relay 3 (if enabled) 
so that Relay 1 can be used for both Preheat and Stop.
•
If the ShutDown Bypass is enabled, the Preheat on Relay 1 will 
remain high for the Crank Time and for the ShutDown Bypass period 
after cranking.
•
The Preheat on Relay 3 will only overlap the Crank Time and perform 
ShutDown Bypass if Relay 3 is configured for Preheat with 
ShutDown Bypass.
•
The “Delay” refers to the “Preheat to Crank Delay” and may be zero.
•
Cranking will cease when the generator run signal goes high for the 
specified hold time or when the crank time has elapsed.
StartStop Mode
For generators with StartStop mode starting types (Types 4, 5, 9, 10):
•
Relay 1 (Stop) and Relay 2 (Start) can be used with a common ground 
for three-wire configured generators.
•
If Relay 3 is configured for preheat, the signal only shows up on 
Relay 3.
•
The Preheat on Relay 3 will not overlap the Crank Time if ShutDown 
Bypass is not enabled.
•
If the ShutDown Bypass is enabled, the Preheat on Relay 3 will 
remain high for the Crank Time and for the ShutDown Bypass period 
after cranking.
