2. INSTALLATION
The control panel is designed to provide user friendliness for both the installer and the user.
Programming is usually unnecessary, as the factory settings have been carefully selected to
fit most applications. However programmable parameters allow the complete control over the
generating set. Programmed parameters are stored in a Non Volatile Memory and thus all
information is retained even in the event of complete loss of power.
The unit is designed for panel mounting. The user should not be able to access parts of the
unit other than the front panel.
Mount the unit on a flat, vertical surface. The unit fits into a standard panel meter opening of
68x68 millimeters. Before mounting, remove the steel spring and the plug connectors from the
unit, and then pass the unit through the mounting opening. The unit will be maintained in its
position by the steel spring.

2.5 Displays
Engine run hours display shown as HR2-HR1 (xxxxx.x), taking values between 00000.0 and
99999.9 hours.
GENERATOR: (yellow) it flashes if the (G) phase voltage is within programmed limits. It turns
on when the generator contactor is activated.
MAINS: (green) it flashes when all (R-S-T) phase voltages are within the programmed limits. It
turns on when the mains contactor is activated.
TEST/AUTO: It turns on when the related operation mode is selected.
2.6 Alarms
Alarms indicate an abnormal situation in the generating set and cause the engine to
stop immediately.
If an alarm occurs, the related LED will turn on and the alarm relay will be activated. If
any key is pressed, the alarm relay will be deactivated.
Alarm LEDs will stay on and disable the operation of the generating set even if the
alarm source is removed. In order to reset the alarm condition, first choose OFF mode
then resume to the previous mode of operation.

DKG-105 User Manual V-17
The modes of operation are selected by pressing the front panel keys.
OFF: In this mode, the mains contactor will be energized if mains phase voltages are within the
programmed limits. The engine will be stopped.
AUTO: It is used for generator and mains automatic transfer. If at least one of the mains phase
voltages is outside limits, the mains contactor will be deactivated.
The diesel will be started for programmed times after the wait period. When the engine runs, the
crank relay will be immediately deactivated. After the G phase voltage is within the limits, the
unit will wait for the generator contactor period and the generator contactor will be energized.
When all the mains phase voltages are within the limits, the engine will continue to run for the
mains waiting period. At the end of this period the generator contactor is deactivated and mains
contactor will be energized. If a cooling period is given, the generator will continue to run during
cooling period. At the end of the period, the fuel solenoid will be de-energized and the diesel will
stop. The unit will be ready for the next mains failure.
TEST: It is used to test the generator when the mains are on, or keep the generator waiting in
the emergency backup mode. The operation of the generator is similar to the AUTO mode, but
the mains contactor will not be deactivated if the mains are not off. If the mains are off, mains
contactor will be deactivated and the generator contactor will be activated. When the mains are
on again, a changeover to the mains will be made, but the engine is kept running. In order to
stop the engine, push the OFF button.
DISPLAY TEST: It is used to test the functionality of the displays. This mode is selected when
OFF and TEST buttons are pressed together and deselected when no button is pressed.
PROGRAM: It is used to program the timers and operational limits.
3. MAINTENANCE

5. PROGRAMMING
The programming mode is used to program the timers, operational limits and the configuration of the
unit.
To enter the program mode, first press the OFF button, then the MENU button and hold the two
buttons pressed for 4 seconds. The display shows (Pr) when program mode is selected. Each time
the MENU key is pushed, the next program number will display and whenever it is released the
program value will be shown. For example if you push MENU key and keep pushing, you will see
(P01) on the display. When you release MENU key you will see P01s value that you can increase or
decrease by using TEST (-) and AUTO (+) keys. If you push again the MENU key, you will see (P02)
on the display and when you release it you will see P02 value. You can continue so until P20. After
P20 you will turn back to P01. Programmed values are stored in a Non Volatile Memory, which is not
affected by energy failures. To exit programming press the OFF button.
P01 = MAINS VOLTAGE LOWER LIMIT: If one of the mains phases goes under this limit, it means
that the mains are off and it starts the transfer to the generator in AUTO or TEST modes.
P02 = MAINS VOLTAGE UPPER LIMIT: If one of the mains phases goes over this limit, it means
that the mains are off and it starts the transfer to the generator in AUTO or TEST modes.
P03 = GENERATOR VOLTAGE LOWER LIMIT: If the generator phase voltage goes under this limit
when feeding the load, this will mean a generator voltage failure and the engine will stop.
P04 = GENERATOR VOLTAGE UPPER LIMIT: If the generator phase voltage goes over this limit
when feeding the load, this will mean a generator voltage failure and the engine will stop.
P05 = FREQUENCY LOWER LIMIT: If (G) phase frequency goes under this value for a period
longer than frequency delay timer, while the generator is feeding the load, it causes the frequency
alarm (underspeed) and the engine will stop immediately. This limit is not controlled in the first 4
seconds after the generator contactor has been energized.
P06 = FREQUENCY UPPER LIMIT: If (G) phase frequency goes over this value for a period longer
than frequency delay timer, while the generator is feeding the load, it causes the frequency alarm
(overspeed) and the engine will stop immediately. This limit is not controlled in the first 4 seconds
after the generator contactor has been energized.
P07 = FREQUENCY DELAY TIMER: If (G) phase frequency goes out of the programmed values for
a period longer than frequency delay timer, while the engine is running, it causes the frequency
alarm and the generator will stop immediately.
P08 = NUMBER OF START CYCLES: The generator start attempts cannot exceed this number.
P09 =WAIT BEFORE START TIMER: The waiting period before start. (Also called preheat timer)
P10 =WAIT BETWEEN STARTS TIMER: The waiting period between starts.
P11 =START TIMER: The engine starting period cannot exceed this number.
P12 =STOP TIMER: It adjusts the stop solenoid energizing period in order to stop the generator.
P13 =MAINS WAITING TIMER: This is the time between the mains voltages are within the limits
and the load transferred from the generator to the mains.
P14 =COOLING TIMER: This is the period that the engine runs with no load, after the load
changeover to the mains.
P15 =MAINS CONTACTOR TIMER: This is the period after the generator contactor has been
deactivated and before the mains contactor has been activated.
P16 =GENERATOR CONTACTOR TIMER: This is the period after the mains contactor has been
deactivated and before the generator contactor has been activated.
P17 =RELAY AND OIL PRESSURE CONFIGURATION: FUEL and AUXILIARY relay configuration,
as well as the oil switch input type:
P18 =WAIT BEFORE FUEL TIMER: The waiting period after the mains failure and before the fuel
output active. (used for UPS backed up gensets)

P19 =EMERGENCY STOP/REMOTE START SELECTION: (Valid only if an extra input provided) If
this parameter is programmed to 0, then the extra input acts as a REMOTE START input, so the
input is not latched and no alarm signal generated. If this parameter is programmed to 1, then the
extra input acts as an EMERGENCY STOP input, so the fault signal is latched and alarm signal
generated.
P20 = MAX. ENGINE RUN TIME LIMIT: This is the maximum time limit for the engine to run
continuously. When used together with the WAIT BEFORE FUEL TIMER (P18), this will provide the
genset with an intermittent operation.
P21 = CHOKE TIMER: If the AUXILIARY RELAY is defined as choke output, this relay will operate
together with the start relay and release at the expiration of this timer. By programming this timer to
adequate values the choke may be released before or after the engine run.
P22 = GAS ENGINE FUEL SOLENOID: If this parameter is set to 0.0 (factory default), then the
AUXILIARY RELAY will operate as implied by P21. Otherwise the relay will operate after the crank
output delayed by this timer. It will release when the engine is to be stopped.
P23 = RESERVED: Reserved for further use.
H01 = ENGINE RUN HOURS DIGIT 1: Engine run hours display shown as HR2-HR1 (xxxxx.x) and
the decimal side of this value cannot be programmed. Parameter H01 is the units digit of the
engine run hours. (xxxxX.x)
H02 = ENGINE RUN HOURS DIGIT 2: This is the tens digit of the engine run hours. (xxxXx.x)
H03 = ENGINE RUN HOURS DIGIT 3: This is the hundreds digit of the engine run hours. (xxXxx.x)
H04 = ENGINE RUN HOURS DIGIT 4: This is the one thousands digit of the engine run hours.
(xXxxx.x)
H05 = ENGINE RUN HOURS DIGIT 5: This is the ten thousands digit of the engine run hours.
