ApplicationUsed to control the starting and stopping of generators used as backup for battery systems. Generator starts if the battery voltage gets too low, and shuts off when the battery is near full.Model: GS-1AC This Genset starter monitors the battery voltage,
and when the battery voltage gets too its low setpoint, the unit starts
the generator. When the battery gets to its high setpoint, the unit
stops the generator. The generator may be remotely started and stopped
by dry contact closures, or by its local toggle switch start stop commands.
The setpoints may be temperature compensated with an optional remote
temperature sensor. Features
