I just reviewed the previous posts regarding setting the dip switches
There are non on the original unit I replaced, and none on the new unit
What do I do now?
Jeff said " plug and play"

Manual states 9 dip switches and references the difference for plug questioned above.

This is the back if the unit I replaced
It is the original
I see NO dip switches
It is the same as the new one I installed, except for the connection mentioned above

They must have changed between my '99 and yours. At least you don't have to contend with them you have the default settings.

Your new one is preset internally according to the sticker.  The only adjustment you can make is the time for the preheat either 8 or 16 seconds.  8 seconds should be adequate unless you're mostly in cold areas.  Then you would cut that loop of wire at the bottom right (?). 
As for the speed sensor it is not polarity sensitive so if you can find or make connectors you just hook up the 2 wires.  It won't continue to run if this is not connected.

If you can't find the correct connector for the speed sensor see if a butt connector will fit.  It is just a friction fit so you may need to tighten it up a bit.

Go to reply 161 and read the settings post questions on settings you don't understand. Most are self explanatory such as low oil shutoff etc.

I know this is an old post but I'm installing a new ES52 genny controller like you did. Did you have to mess with any of the dip switches or Potentiometers? After reading through the manual, it looks like all the default settings should work without tweaking anything. Thank you.
