- Remote Emergency Stop Panel immediately shuts the
generator set down from a remote station.
- Common Failure Relay remotely signals auxiliary

fault, emergency stop, high engine temperature, low
oil pressure, overcrank, and overspeed via one singlepole, double-throw relay with 10 amp at 120 VAC,
10 amp at 28 VDC contacts.
- Prealarms warn of low water (engine) temperature,

approaching low oil pressure, and approaching high engine
temperature. Kits for gas-fueled models include a low fuel
pressure switch.
- Controller Cable, 12 m (40 ft.), enables remote

mounting of the controller.
- Remote Audiovisual Panel warns the operator of fault

shutdowns and prealarm conditions. Common fault lamp
and horn with silence switch.
- Controller Connection Kit provides a cable

connecting the controller to a terminal strip in the

for junction box remote device connections.
- Remote Serial Annunciator Panel enables the operator

to monitor the status of the generator from a remote
location. May be required for NFPA 99 and NFPA 110
installations. Uses Modbusr RTU (Remote Terminal Unit),
an industry standard open communication protocol.
- Dry Contact Kits interface between the controller

signals and customer-supplied accessories providing
contact closure to activate warning devices such as
lamps or horns. Kits are available in either one or ten
single-pole, double-throw relays with 3 amp at 250 VAC
contacts. A kit with twenty single-pole, double- throw
relays with 3 amp at 250 VAC contacts is available on
450--2000 kW models.
- Communication Module GM32644-KA1 or GM32644-KP1
is required when using the remote serial annunciator (RSA)

and/or Modbusr/Ethernet communications.
- Remote Annunciator Panel enables the operator to
monitor the status of the generator from a remote location.
May be required for NFPA 99 and NFPA 110 installations.
- FASTCHECKr hand-held diagnostic fault detector

activates controller circuits without operating engine/
generator. Helps service or maintenance personnel
quickly identify faults in controller and engine circuits.
- Run Relay provides a three-pole, double-throw relay with

10 amp at 250 VAC contacts for indicating that the generator
set is running or shut down.
- 10 Amp Float/Equalize Battery Charger with Alarm

Feature warns controller of battery charger fault, high
battery voltage, and low battery voltage.
- Modbusr/Ethernet Converter GM41143-KP2 for network
- 6 Amp Float/Equalize Battery Charger has automatic

3-stage charging with indicator LEDs. Durable potted
assembly for full waterproofing and shockproofing.
UL 1236 listed.
communications.
- Controller-Mounted Emergency Stop Switch shuts

down generator set immediately in emergency situations.
Use the generator set master switch for normal shutdowns.
Standard on most 200--2000 kW generator set models
(see respective generator set specification sheet for details).
