1.7.3 OnCue Home Generator
Management System
The Kohlerr OnCuet Home Generator Management
System allows monitoring and control of your RESA or
RESAL generator set from a personal computer located
in your home or at other remote locations. OnCuet can
also be configured to send email or text message
notifications in the event of a generator set fault.
Note: Be sure to obtain the correct version of the
OnCuet kit for the RDC2/DC2 controller.
OnCuet version 3.0 is required for RESA/RESAL
generator sets equipped with the RDC2/DC2 controller.
OnCuet versions numbered 1.x are not compatible
with the RDC2/DC2 controller.
1.7.4 Programmable Interface Module
(PIM)
The optional Programmable Interface Module (PIM)
provides two programmable inputs and six
programmable dry contact outputs for connection to
customer-supplied equipment. The outputs are
controlled by the RDC2 controller, and can also be
controlled remotely using the OnCue program.
The PIM is mounted in a NEMA 3R aluminum enclosure,
which can be mounted indoors or outdoors. See the
installation instructions provided with the PIM.
1.7.5 Load Control Module (LCM)
The optional Load Control Module (LCM) provides an
automatic load management system to comply with
Section 702.5 of NEC 2008. The installer is responsible
for ensuring that the power system installation complies
with all applicable state and local codes.
The LCM automatically manages up to six residential
loads. Four power relays are provided for management
of non-essential secondary loads, and two relays are
available to control two independent air conditioner
loads.
The LCM is controlled by the RDC2/DC2 controller. The
load on the generator set is monitored, and loads are
added or shed in the order of their priority. See
specification sheet G6-120 and the LCM installation
instructions for more information.
