Introduction
The optional Programmable Interface Module (PIM) provides two programmable inputs and six programmable outputs for connection to customer-supplied equipment. The PIM operates only with generator sets equipped with the Kohlerr RDC2 or DC2 controller, including the following models:
D 14RESA/RESAL D 20RESA/RESAL D 48RCL
Inputs and outputs are factory-set to the events shown in Figure 7. The inputs and outputs 3--6 can be changed using a laptop computer connected to the RDC2 or DC2 controller and Kohlerr SiteTecht software . SiteTech is available to Kohler-authorized distributors. A maximum of three accessory modules can be connected to the generator set. Accessory modules can include one programmable interface module (PIM), one Model RXT transfer switch, and/or one load control module (LCM). Read the entire installation procedure and compare the kit parts with the parts list at the end of this publication before beginning installation. Perform the steps in the order shown.
The PIM is mounted in a NEMA 3R enclosure, which can be installed indoors or outdoors. The PIM with enclosure is shown in Figure 1. For outdoor installation, use watertight conduit hubs.

Safety Precautions
Observe the following safety precautions while installing the kit.
5. Cut holes in the PIM enclosure for the generator set communication leads and input and output leads. For outdoor installation, use weather-tight conduit connectors. Note: Use separate conduit for the low-voltage communication leads to the generator set controller. To ensure separation of circuits per NEC requirements, route low-voltage AC and DC wiring separately from line-voltage wiring. 6. Mount the PIM enclosure to a wall. See the dimension drawing in Figure 26 for the mounting hole size and locations. Note: The mounting holes have gaskets to seal out moisture. Use washers with the mounting screws to protect the gaskets. 7. Connect A, B, PWR, and COM on connector P10 to the corresponding generator set connectors. See Figure 2 through Figure 5. Use Belden #9402 (4-conductor) or equivalent 20 AWG shielded, twisted-pair cable. The maximum cable length is 61 m (200 ft.). Note: If a longer cable run is required, or if additional accessories such as a transfer switch or a load control module (LCM) are used, see Communication Connections with Additional Accessories on page 5.
WARNING
Accidental starting. Can cause severe injury or death. Disconnect the battery cables before working on the generator set. Remove the negative (--) lead first when disconnecting the battery. Reconnect the negative (--) lead last when reconnecting the battery. Disabling the generator set. Accidental starting can cause severe injury or death. Before working on the generator set or equipment connected to the set, disable the generator set as follows: (1) Press the generator set off/reset button to shut down the generator set. (2) Disconnect the power to the battery charger, if equipped. (3) Remove the battery cables, negative (--) lead first. Reconnect the negative (--) lead last when reconnecting the battery. Follow these precautions to prevent the starting of the generator set by the remote start/stop switch.
DANGER
1 Hazardous voltage. Will cause severe injury or death. Disconnect all power sources before opening the enclosure.
Installation Procedure
1. Press the OFF button on the generator sets RDC2/DC2 controller. 2. Disconnect the utility power to the generator set. 3. Disconnect the generator set engine starting battery(ies), negative (--) lead first. 4. Remove the PIM enclosure cover. Cover the PIM circuit board to protect it from metal chips and debris.

2. Use OnCue to connect to the generator set controller and select the Power Chain view. 3. Select Edit Mode in the toolbar at the top of the OnCue screen. 4. On the picture of the the PIM, click on the label for output 3 and type in Storm Shutters. 5. Select Control Mode in the toolbar at the top of the screen. 6. On the picture of the the PIM, click on Storm Shutters to turn the output on or off. The status indicator flashes for about 5 seconds and then changes to show the new status: green for on or gray for off. When you click on an output in OnCues control mode, the event setting changes from its original setting to On or Off. The output can then only be controlled with OnCue. It will no longer be controlled by the generator set. Kohlerr SiteTecht software can be used to set the outputs back to generator-controlled events, if necessary. SiteTech is available to Kohler-authorized distributors.

NO
NO
Check for 10--16 VDC at the PWR and COM connections on the generator set. YES
NO
Power LED may have a defect but does not affect operation. Continue checking functionality.
Check the cable size and length to verify they are within the range shown in Figure 8.
Check voltage to the controller. See controller troubleshooting information and wiring diagrams in the generator set service manual.
NO
Functions correctly only if connected individually. YES Verify that the USB cable is not connected to generator controller during power cycles. YES Verify that all devices are seen by SiteTech after individual connection sequence.
NO
Disconnect RBUS modules and verify that SiteTech/OnCue shows no devices connected. YES
Verify that the maximum number of allowed devices is not exceeded. YES
YES

Verify that the Controller Recognizes the PIM There are two ways to verify that the RDC2 controller recognizes the PIM.
D On the RDC2 controller, navigate to the Networking
Menu and check the number of modules connected and the information for remote devices. See Figure 23 and Figure 24.
D For the RDC2 or DC2 controller, use a laptop
Kohlerr OnCuer or SiteTecht software to check that the PIM appears in the Power Chain view. See Figure 19. In the Parameters view, check that the RBUS network screen shows the correct number of RBUS devices connected (RXT transfer switch, PIM, and LCM, if used). See Figure 25.
