1.6 Accessories
The following optional accessories are offered for the
6VSG generator sets.
1.6.1 Carburetor Heater
An optional carburetor heater is recommended for
improved cold starting in locations where the ambient
temperature drops below 0°C (32°F). The carburetor
heater prevents condensation and carburetor icing.
The heater requires a continuous source of AC power.
See the generator set Installation manual for more
information.
1.6.2 OnCue
®
Generator Management
System
The Kohler
®
OnCue
®
Generator Management System
allows monitoring and control of your 6VSG generator
set from a personal computer located in your home or
at other remote locations. OnCue
®
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
OnCue
®
kit for the VSC controller.
OnCue
®
version 3.1 or higher is required for 6VSG
generator sets.
1.6.3 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 VSC 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.
1.6.4 Communications Kit
The optional communications kit includes the following
factory-installed items:
• Interface board with factory-set inputs and outputs
