JP3 Remote Stop–The remote stop function allows the generator to be connected to
an external stop circuit. Press
JP4 Alarm Output–The alarm output is designed for remote alarm indication. When an
error occurs on the generator, the output switching circuit is activated causing the
remote circuit to be complete.
The remote alarm circuit will be reset when the generator error has been reset.
JP5 Water Fill Output–The water fill output allows for remote monitoring of the water
bottle level. When the water level drops below the mid-point in the water bottle the
output switching circuit is activated. The circuit will only be de-energised when the
water bottle is filled to its upper limit.
