Start repetitions in automatic start mode

Note: This function is not available with every generator. Check in each individual case whether the function can be used with your generator.

Function description

The fpControl system offers the possibility to carry out several start-up attempts in the automatic start mode.

If the generator does not reach the required starting speed during a start-up attempt, a new start attempt is made if the possible number of start-up attempts is set > 1. There is a waiting periode between two start-up attempts.

If the generator does not reach the required starting speed even after the last start-up attempt, the »fpControl GC-S« aborts the starting process with Event 26 – Engine revolution (RPM) low.

Setting the number of start-up attempts

You can set the value for the number of start-up attempts in the generator menu of the »fpControl Control Panel – Generator« (fpControl CP-G). The minimum value is always »1«. The maximum value for the number of start-up attempts is dependent on the generator type.

minimum value	minimum number of start-up attempts (default »1«)
value	currently set number of start-up attempts, you can adjust this value using the arrow keys
maximum value	maximum number of start-up attempts dependent on the generator type
