The Normally Open “NO” and “Common” contacts of Status Relay (14, Fig 2.1 in the Owner's 
Manual for Evolution

TM

 Series Inverter/Charger) can be used to also automatically start and 

stop generator through appropriate external Generator Auto Start / Stop Module. 3 options 
(Functions 2, 3 and 4) explained below are available for carrying out this function depending 
upon user requirements. The “Common” and “NO” terminals are wired to the optional 
Generator Auto Start / Stop Control Module which, in turn, is wired to the Remote Start / Stop 
connections on the Generator. The AC output terminals of the Generator are wired to the 
Generator Input Terminals on the EVO

TM

 (7, 8, 9 in Fig 2.3 in Owner's Manual for EVO

TM

 Series 

Inverter/Charger). For installation details, please refer to Section 3.15 / Fig 3.13 and Section 
3.16 / Fig 3.14 in the Owner's Manual for EVO

TM

 Series Inverter/Charger.

It is recommended that “GSCM-Mini” Series of Generator Start / Stop Control Module, 
appropriate for the generator to be used, may ordered directly from 
Atkinson Electronics www.atkinsonelectronics.com 

Based on the Generator Start Logic contained in of one of the selected Functions 2, 3 or 
4 explained below, the Status Relay will be switched ON (energized), its “Common” and 
“NO” contacts will close and the external Generator Start / Stop Control Module will initiate 
automatic starting of the Generator. Once the Generator has started and starts feeding AC 
output to EVO

TM

 (within the programmed limits of voltage and frequency), the EVO

TM

 will be 

synchronized with the Generator and once synchronization is completed, the load will be 
transferred instantly (within 1 ms) to the Generator at Zero Crossing of the voltage waveform 
for seamless transfer and for better protection of Transfer Relay contacts. The EVO

TM

 will now 

operate in “Charging Mode” with the AC power from the Generator charging the batteries as 
well as providing power to the AC load(s).
