Genset Switcher (non Vision Line) Starts Up by itself

I have a United States Army Genset Switcher (6-28382) which is not the Vision Line Genset. I just took it out of the box and loaded it into my Legacy Control System.  As I was testing it, I noticed that after a certain period of inactivity it will shut down by itself (at least the rail sounds do) but it will automatically restart after another period of inactivity from the CAB.  While it's shut down, I can hear a faint beeping sound coming from the engine which increases in frequency/volume just before it starts back up. Although I can't find anything in writing about this feature, it isn't the problem I'm writing about. (I would however like to know where to go to read about it) The problem is that after I shut the engine down via the remote, it will start back up by itself after a while even after I have powered the remote off.  I still have power to the track and I can hear the same beeping sound coming from the engine which also increases in frequency just before it starts back up. I sure would like to know if this operator error or if I have a defective engine. I did verify that the switch is in the run position. I have other Legacy locomotives and none of them exhibit this behavior.
