CHAPTER 5
AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE GENERATOR SET
Section I. INTRODUCTION
5-1. Major auxiliary equipments for use with the
generator set are the remote control module, the remote
control cable and the automatic control module. Also
included as an auxiliary item is the generator set
housing kit.
Section II. REMOTE CONTROL MODULE
5-2. GENERAL. The remote control module (figures 5-
1, 5-2, and 5-3), when used with the remote control
cable, allows remote starting and stopping, and
monitoring control of the set from a location up to 100
feet (30) away. With minor exceptions, the remote
control module is identical to the generator control
panel; the remote control module contains a MASTER
SWITCH, a START AID switch and a READY TO LOAD
indicator lamp, and does not contain a clock, phase
sequence indicator lights, or a 24V DC circuit breaker.
The theory of operation for the remote control module is
the same as that for the generator control panel as
described in Chapter 1, Section III (with the above noted
exceptions). When remote operation is required, the
controls and indicators of the remote control module are
connected in place of equivalent circuits in the generator
set.
5-3. INSTALLATION. The remote control module is a
self-housed unit, suitable for either indoor or outdoor
operation. The unit should be placed as level as
possible, in a firm, dry, footing.
Allow approximately 24 inches (62 cm) clearance on all
sides of the unit for access during operation and
maintenance. See paragraph 2-10 for information on
the connection procedures for the remote control
module, FO-8 and FO-9 for wiring information, and FO-
14 for a connection diagram.
5-4. LUBRICATION. The remote control module
requires no lubrication.
5-5. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND
SERVICES (A, N, MC). To ensure that the remote
control module is always ready for operation, inspect
systematically so that defects may be discovered and
corrected before they result in serious damage or
failure. Perform the preventive maintenance checks and
services in accordance with table 5-1. Air Force users
shall refer to the applicable inspection manuals and
work card sets in T.O. 35C2-3-series for periodic
preventive maintenance requirements and table 5-1 for
detailed procedures. Marine Corps users shall refer to
the current issue of TM 11275-15/1.
