Hello,

according to your manual, you can program one of the AUX inputs to start your genset:

See: 8.3 DEFINED CONTENTS OF CONFIGURABLE INPUT PORTS 1~7 Table 12 - Programmable Inputs 1~7

I would ask the seller of the genset for proper guidance, how to program the input.

Best Regards

Markus

it is on page 49 of the manual. Connect to B- and any of the free Aux inputs(to be configured either as option 28.29 or 30 ).
