Contactors:
K3…………………... starting contactor
K4…………………... generator contactor
K5…………………... battery contactor
K6…………………...EPU contactor
Pushbutton switches:
EXT PWR/BATT...…cuts in the battery or EPU
GEN…………………cuts in the generator
GEN RESET……….. used to reset the generator after an inadvertent generator cut out
CRANK……………..controls cranking of the engine only
EMERG CUTOFF......cuts out both battery and generator power sources
START……………... controls starting of the engine (AS350B2)
Relays:
K1………………….. inhibits excitation and cut in of the generator during engine start and cranking
K2…………………... inhibits cut in of the battery and generator when the EPU is energized
Current sensor:
MCR…………………current sensor which measures the return current to the generator
Indicators:
GEN………………....when lit, denotes cut out of the generator
BATT……….……….when lit, denotes cut out of the battery
T* BATT………….…when lit, indicates a battery internal temperature exceeding 71*C.

Indicator lights “BATT” and “GEN” are lit as they are energized via the
normally closed contacts of relays K4 and K5.

Excitation:
- pilot releases the ‘START” pushbutton.
- relay K1 is energized and makes contact.
- the 1 second memory on PCB Z1 is reset
- the 1 second contactor closes for 1 second.
- the generator excitation coil is energized by the battery via fuse F2, the 1 second contactor and
relay K1.
