The ASCO 5101 engine start modules from Asco Power Technologies are designed to continually monitor the operability of engine start signal circuits to ensure engine-generators receive start signals when emergency power is needed.
The ASCO 5101 engine start modules from Asco Power Technologies are designed to continually monitor the operability of engine start signal circuits to ensure engine-generators receive start signals when emergency power is needed. They also start engine-generators as soon as start circuit faults are detected. An emergency engine-generator must start automatically when it receives a signal from an automatic transfer switch (ATS). Without engine start circuit monitoring, facility managers might never become aware of cable cuts or short circuits that could prevent start signals from reaching engine controls. The engine start modules placed at the engine-generator and ATS controls to continually monitor engine start signal wiring. If a control circuit is opened or shorted, the engine automatically starts, and an alarm relay activates indicators at the generator and any remote annunciators.
