ing, operating, or servicing this equipment. Practice all plant and safety procedures and precautions.
Failure to follow safety procedures and precautions may result in personal injury and/or property dam-
age.
The engine, turbine, or other type of prime mover should be equipped with an overspeed (overtempera-
ture, or overpressure, where applicable) shutdown device(s) that operates independently of the prime
mover control device(s) to protect against runaway or damage to the engine, turbine, or other type of
prime mover resulting in possible personal injury or loss of life should the mechanical-hydraulic gov-
ernor(s) or electric control(s), the actuator(s), fuel control(s), the driving mechanism(s), the linkage(s),
or the control device(s) fail.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to control systems that uses an alternator or battery-charging device, ensure the
charging device is turned off before disconnecting the battery source from the system.
Electronic controls contain static-sensitive parts. Observe the following precautions to prevent dam-
age to these parts.
• Discharge body static before handling the control (with power to the control turned off, contact a
grounded surface and maintain contact while handling the control).
• Avoid all plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam (except antistatic versions) around printed circuit boards.
• Do not touch components or conductors of a printed circuit board with bare hands or conductive
devices.

Intended Use The unit must only be operated as described in this manual. The prerequisite for a proper and safe
operation of the product is correct transportation, storage, and installation as well as careful operation and main-
tenance.
NOTE
This manual has been developed for a unit equipped with all available options. Inputs/outputs, func-
tions, configuration screens, and other details described which do not exist on your unit may be ig-
nored.
The present manual has been prepared to enable the installation and commissioning of the unit. Be-
cause of the large variety of parameter settings, it is not possible to cover every combination. The
manual is therefore only a guide. In case of incorrect entries or a total loss of functions, the default set-
tings may be taken from the list of parameters in the configuration manual 37321.

NOTE
Selecting the operating mode STOP is not the same as an EMERGENCY STOP. In some cases the
easYgen will perform additional logic functions, such as an engine cool down period, before the en-
gine is stopped. It is recommended that an EMERGENCY STOP discrete input be utilized and pro-
grammed as an F class alarm.
In the STOP operating mode neither the engine nor the GCB can be operated. Dependent on the
application mode the power circuit breakers cannot be operated. If the operating mode STOP has

Configuration
This chapter provides information "how to configure the unit via the LC display" as well as the description of all
parameters that may be changed without a password. If you have the correct codes to configure the unit (this is
verified via passwords), refer to manual 37321 for a description of all parameters, their setting range, and their
influence to the operation of the unit.
Navigate .......Pressing the softkey will return the operator to the main display screen that
shows monitored parameters. If the operator is configuring the control
unit, this will return the user to the previous screen displayed.
Edit...............I If it is desired to exit a parameter without saving changes made there,
press the softkey and the user will be returned to the previous screen.
Next parameter
Navigate .......This softkey permits the user to navigate down through the parameters.
Only the parameters assigned by the active password will be displayed.
The parameters that may be viewed without a password are described later
in this manual.
Navigate .......This softkey permits the user to navigate upwards through the parameters.
Edit...............If the desired parameter has been selected by pressing the softkey, and
the cursor has been moved to the appropriate position via the softkey, the
value of the digit may be increased by one using the softkey. If the digit
has reached the highest numeral permitted for the placeholder, the unit will
return to the lowest digit by pressing the softkey again.
Navigate ...... A highlighted parameter may be enter into for configuration by pressing
the softkey. This permits the changing of the configured value within the
parameter.
Edit .............. Any value that has been changed within a parameter is changed and stored
in the unit memory by pressing the softkey.
If the parameter has a numeric value (i.e. the password) that is to be changed, the digits
must be changed individually. The softkey permits navigation to each cursor position
of the number to be changed. See the softkey symbols for an explanation of how to
change the digit.

GCB dead bus cls Dead bus closing of the GCB {1oc}, {2oc}
GCB dead bus cls The GCB is closed onto the de-energized busbar. This is actuated either by an absence of the MCB (opera-
tion mode {1oc}) or by "Reply: MCB is open". During commissioning of a system, ensure that there are no
other sources that may energize the busbar. If the status of the busbar is not known, verify that the busbar is
de-energized by other means.

of the busbar is not known, verify that the busbar is de-energized by other means.
Emergency run Emergency power operation {2oc}
Emergency run After the control unit detects that a mains fault has occurred, the engine is started after the emergency delay
timer expires. The MCB is opened, the GCB is closed, and the generator set assumes the load. If the genera-
tor set is already running, operations continue until the emergency power operation conditions no longer ex-
ist. If the mains return, the mains settling timer becomes active first (see below).
Mains settling Mains settling time is active {2oc}
Mains settling When the control unit detects that the mains fault is no longer present and power has been restored, the
mains settling timer begins counting down. If the mains are stable after the expiration of the timer (the
mains voltage has not fallen below or risen over the configured monitoring limits), the load is transferred
from the generator supply to the mains supply.
