The ECU-04 is a manual generator auto start control for auto start generator. The device uses standard two-wire signals from any Automatic Transfer Switch or any standard remote mounted ON / OFF switch to automatically initiate the generator's starting cycle. In case of generator starting failures, this device has maximum of 3 attempts of preheat and start with adjustable time from1 to 25 seconds interval. This module is composed of microprocessors to minimized dimension. Encapsulated in factory designed chassis to protect them from vibration and moisture.
The KUTAI ECU-04 Generator Auto Start Control is a microprocessor-based module designed to convert manual key-start generators into automatic-start units. It mimics the action of turning a panel key and starting the generator manually using standard two-wire signals from an Automatic Transfer Switch or a remote ON/OFF switch. The device features a compact epoxy-encapsulated chassis to protect against vibration and moisture.
