Genset with 5 wires

Good day, I have a Quatro and a genset with 5 wires on the linking cable. The installer connected and tested and said everything works fine, but I noticed that the controller light stays on (like being switched on). This should only happen when the genset has to start. Any help will be appreciated.

Can you give more detail on your system, and what the installer did.

Hi @smitfamily


it could be an issue, as it might drain your generator starter battery... but you can verify this by checking how much current is being drawn, or disconnecting the starter battery and seeing if the controller light is still on. I cant comment on the setup without more details on what the wires do and what the installer did.

Problem solved. Using the chinese setup that was in the previous ATS and only using the auto / manual wire on the unit. Cannot beleive that we battled so much.

I have also a chinese generator with an ATS and the cable has 5 poles.
Glad that you found a solution, but I don't understand how you connect the cables to the Cerbo. Can you please provide a explanation/drawing. That would be great.
Thank you!
