3 Jumper JMP1/S2: Selects the engine displacement. Set to position 1 and 2 for 1.6L. Set to position 2 and 3 for 2.4L. The jumper is not used on PCB's 0G1505A or 0G1505B. On later revisions, JMP1 is replaced by S2. S2 has no effect on 4.2L operation and is ignored when DIP Switch Position 7 is ON. F...

5 GENERATOR OPERATION The R-200A controller monitors the front panel switch position and reads the DIP switch position set-tings when the control board is initially powered-up. In the OFF position the controller will only be incre-menting the exercise timer and monitoring the bat-tery voltage and lo...

7 DANGER  With the switch set to AUTO, the engine can crank and start suddenly without warning. Such automatic start up normally occurs when utility source voltage drops below a pre-set level. To prevent possible injury that might be caused by such sudden starts, set the AUTO/ OFF/MANUAL switch to ...

8 RPM SIGNAL FAILURE (FLASHING RED OVERSPEED INDICATOR) If the R-200A controller does not receive a signal from the engine flywheel sensor, the R-200A control-ler cannot maintain the generator output frequency or monitor for an overspeed condition. If this sig-nal is lost the R-200A controller will ...
