This is a generator auto start control, it has the advantages of low price, small size, low power consumption, easy to install and repair.
The ECU-05 Ver1.0 is a control unit that converts manual key-start generators into auto-start systems. It mimics manual key actions using standard two-wire signals from switches. The unit attempts to start the generator up to three times, with programmable intervals. It supports gasoline and gas engines via DIP switch settings. Installation involves connecting to the key switch and monitoring generator output. The unit operates on 12V or 24V DC and includes LEDs for status indication.
Technical specifications include a 12-36V DC input, 30A output for starter and pre-heat, and a 100-240V AC alternator input. It is designed for operation in temperatures from -20°C to +60°C and has dimensions of 162 x 112 x 31 mm.

It automatically mimics the action of turning a key by using standard two-wire signals from switches like an Automatic Transfer Switch or ON/OFF switch.
Yes, by changing the DIP switch position on the ECU-05 to adapt for gasoline or gas engines.
The maximum input voltage is 36V DC for the 24V model and 18V DC for the 12V model.
