Application
The Generator Controller GC-1 is a micro-processor
based control unit containing all necessary functions for
protection and control of a diesel engine. Furthermore,
it contains a three-phase AC voltage measuring circuit.
The unit is equipped with an LCD display presenting all
values and alarms. GC-1 is a compact all-in-one unit
designed for the following applications:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Automatic engine start/stop

Engine protection
Breaker control
Generator protection
Optional applications:
5. Automatic Mains Failure
6. CAN bus J1939 engine communication
The display will turn on again, if events or alarms take

place, or if one of the push-buttons is activated.
Setup
Setup is easily done via a PC Windows based utility

software (password protected) using the RJ11/RS232
PC connection. The PC interface box RJ11/RS232
needed for this operation is optional equipment for GC1. The PC utility software offers additional features such
as monitoring of all relevant information during
commissioning, saving and downloading of settings and
downloading of software updates. Furthermore, the
most frequently used settings can be accessed via the
display push-buttons (password protected).
Options
GC-1 automatically carries out a cyclical self test. If any

errors are found, then the status relay output will
deactivate (normally closed). In order to save battery
power, the display can be set to switch off automatically
after a given period of time.
The options selected by the customer will be integrated

in the standard GC-1 hereby securing the same user
interface unaffected by whether the application needs a
basic or a more complex generator controller.

Connection of the 3-phase voltage and current
The AC current grounding can be made as required to s1 or s2.

GB: Use a contactor. The ON output from the GC-1 is a constant signal. Remember to use free-wheel
diodes across the contactor coils, if DC voltage is used as supply for these.
Fuse for AC voltage: Max. 2A slow-blow.
