2. INSTALLATION

2.1 Introduction to the Control Panel

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.

2.2 Mounting the Unit

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.

2.3 Wiring the Unit

WARNING: THE UNIT IS NOT FUSED.

Use external fuses for Mains phases: R, S, T, Generator
phase: G, Battery positive: BAT(+).
Install the fuses as nearly as possible to the unit in a
place easily accessible for the user.
The fuse rating should be 6 Amps.

WARNING: ELECTRICITY CAN KILL

ALWAYS disconnect the power BEFORE
connecting the unit.The fuse rating should be 6
Amps.
1) ALWAYS remove the plug connectors when inserting wires
with a screwdriver.
2) ALWAYS refer to the National Wiring Regulations when
conducting installation.
3) An appropriate and readily accessible set of disconnection
devices (e.g. automatic fuses) MUST be provided as part of the
installation.
4) The disconnection device must NOT be fitted in a flexible cord.
5) The building mains supply MUST incorporate appropriate
short-circuit backup protection (e.g. a fuse or circuit breaker)
of High Breaking Capacity (HBC, at least 1500A).
Use cables of adequate current carrying capacity
(at least 0.75mm2) and temperature range.

2.4 Inputs and Outputs

1- N: Neutral terminal for both the mains and generator phases.

2- G: Connect one of the generator phases to this input. The generator phase voltage upper
and lower limits are programmable.
3- GENERATOR CONTACTOR: This output provides energy to the generator contactor. If the
generator phase voltage is outside of the programmed limits, the generator contactor will be de-
energized. In order to provide extra security, normally closed contact of the mains contactor
should be serially connected to this output.
Relay contact rating is 16A/250V-AC
4/5/6- T/S/R: Connect the mains phases to these inputs. The mains voltages upper and lower
limits are programmable.
7- MAINS CONTACTOR: This output provides energy to the mains contactor. If the voltage of
at least one of the mains voltages is outside of the programmed limits, the mains contactor will
be de-energized. In order to provide extra security, normally closed contact of the generator
contactor should be serially connected to this output.
Relay contact rating is 16A/250V-AC
8- HIGH TEMPERATURE SWITCH: Connect the high temperature switch to this input. This
switch shall be negative closing switch type.
9- LOW OIL PRESSURE / LOW OIL LEVEL: Connect the low oil pressure (or low oil level)
switch to this input. The switch should be negative closing in case of loss of oil pressure (or low
oil level). This input must be properly connected for the correct operation of the unit. If oil
pressure is provided, the generator will not start and the oil pressure alarm indicator will flash.
However, if the oil pressure is removed, the unit will resume normal operation.
10- FUEL OUTPUT: This output is used on engines equipped with a fuel solenoid. The unit
activates this output before starting the engine and deactivates it to stop it. By programming, this
relay can also control 'Activate to Stop type of engines.
Relay contact rating is 10A/28V-DC.
11- CRANK OUTPUT: Engine crank output. Relay automatically turns off when the alternator
voltage reaches 100 volts or the alternator frequency reaches 10Hz.
Relay contact rating is 10A/28V-DC.
12- AUXILIARY RELAY OUTPUT: This relay fulfills 5 different functions following
programming. Relay contact rating is 10A/28V-DC.
1) ALARM RELAY: If an alarm occurs, the relay will be activated. It will be deactivated when any
key is pressed.
2) STOP RELAY: The relay will operate during programmed period in order to stop the engine
(Activate to Stop)
3) PREHEAT RELAY: The relay will operate the programmed delay before the cranking of the
engine. It will be deactivated during cranking and reactivated during the rest period between
cranks. It will be deactivated when the engine runs.
4) CHOKE RELAY: The relay will operate the programmed delay before
the cranking of the engine. It will be deactivated when the engine runs.
5) GAS ENGINE FUEL SOLENOID: The relay will operate after the crank output has been
activated. The delay is programmed with program parameter P_22.
13/14- BAT(-)/BAT(+): The positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the DC Supply shall be
connected to these terminals. Be careful for the polarization, in case of polarity error the unit will
not operate. The unit operates on both 12V and 24V battery systems.

2.5 Displays

DIGITAL DISPLAY: This display shows:

- (R) phase voltage, when mains are on
- Alternator frequency, if the generator is on
- Program values in program mode
Below values can be read in sequence by pushing the MENU key in AUTO or TEST modes:
- (R) phase voltage
- (S) phase voltage
- (T) phase voltage
- (G) phase voltage
- (G) phase frequency (engine RPM)
- (HR 1) engine run hours
- (HR 2) engine run hours

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.

HIGH TEMPERATURE ALARM: It is on when a signal comes from the high

temperature input.
OIL ALARM: It is on when a signal comes from the oil pressure/oil level input. This
alarm will be controlled 8 seconds after the engine is running. If oil pressure is provided
when the unit attempts to start the engine, the oil alarm indicator will flash and the unit
will wait until oil pressure disappears.
FREQUENCY/VOLTAGE ALARM: It is on when the alternator frequency is out of the
programmed limits for a longer period than the programmed timer. It flashes when the
alternator voltage is out of the programmed limits. Alternator frequency and voltage will
be controlled 4 seconds after the generator contactor is on.
FAIL TO START: It is on if the engine cannot start to run after the programmed number
of start attempts. This alarm will be erased when the mains are on in order to keep the
engine ready for the next mains failure.

2.7 Modes of Operation

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.

4. TROUBLESHOOTING

The genset starts to operate while AC mains are OK:

AC mains voltages may be outside programmed limits. Read AC voltages by pressing the
MENU button.
Upper and lower limits of the mains voltages may be too tight. Get in the PROGRAM mode
and check for the AC voltage upper and lower limits. If necessary, widen the limits.
The genset continues to operate after AC mains are reestablished:
Widen the AC voltage limits. The hysteresis value for the AC voltages is 10 volts. When the AC
mains fail, the lower limit is raised and the upper limit is reduced by the hysteresis value to
prevent a new load transfer after the load is transferred to the mains.
AC voltages displayed on the unit are not correct:
The error margin of the unit is +/- 5 volts.
If there are faulty measurements only when the engine is running, there may be a faulty
charging alternator or voltage regulator on the engine. Disconnect the charging alternator
connection and check if the error is removed.
When the AC mains fails the unit energizes the fuel solenoid, but does not start, also
OIL PRESSURE ALARM led flashes:
The unit is not supplied with battery (-) voltage at the oil pressure input.
-Oil pressure switch not connected.
-Oil pressure switch connection wire cut.
-Oil pressure switch faulty.
-Oil pressure switch closes too lately. If oil pressure falls, the unit will start. Optionally oil
pressure switch may be replaced.
The engine does not run after the first start attempt, then the unit does not start again
and the OIL PRESSURE ALARM led flashes:
-The oil pressure switch closes very lately. As the unit senses an oil pressure, it does not start.
When oil pressure falls the unit will start. Optionally the oil pressure switch may be replaced.
When the AC mains fails, the engine starts to run but the unit gives FAIL TO START
alarm and then the engine stops:
-The generator phase voltage is not connected to the unit. Measure the AC voltage between
terminals (G) and (Neutral) at the rear of the unit while engine is running. The fuse protecting
the generator phase may be failed. A misconnection may be occurred. If everything is OK, turn
all the fuses off, and then turn all the fuses on, starting from the DC supply fuse. Then test the
unit again.
The unit is late to remove engine cranking:
-The alternator voltage rises lately. Also the generator remanant voltage is below 30 volts. The
unit removes starting with the generator frequency, and needs at least 30 volts to measure the
frequency. If this situation is to be avoided, the only solution is to add an auxiliary relay. The
coil of the relay will be between BATTERY (-) and charging alternator LAMP terminal. The
normally closed contact of the relay will be connected serially to the unit's START output. So
the starting will also be removed when the CHARGE LAMP turns off.
The unit is inoperative:
-Measure the DC-supply voltage between (+) and (-) terminals at the rear of the unit. If OK,
turn all the fuses off, then turn all the fuses on, starting from the DC supply fuse. Then try the
unit again.

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)
