Abstract:

A remotely controlled engine starter and protective system, particularly for engine driven vehicles, in which a remotely located radio transmitter is utilized to initiate energization of the starter motor; a first timer opens the starter circuit if the engine does not start in approximately ten seconds, and if the engine starts, a second timer is operative to stop the engine after approximately ten minutes. Protective features are also provided to cut off power to the starter motor and ignition system in the event that the engine speed reaches a preset overspeed level; the vehicle is physically moved in a forward or reverse direction; automatically initiate starting of the engine when the ambient temperature falls below a preset level; cut off the system and prevent restarting for a period of 5 seconds, when the engine RPM is less than a preset level for a period of one second; cut off power to the starter motor when a preset running RPM of the engine is obtained; and delay energization of accessories for a period of 30 seconds after a starting operation is successfully initiated.
