1.1 Warnings, legal information and safety
1.1.1 Warnings and notes
Throughout this document, a number of warnings and notes with helpful user information will be presented.
To ensure that these are noticed, they will be highlighted as follows in order to separate them from the gener-

Warnings
Warnings indicate a potentially dangerous situation, which could result in death, personal in-
jury or damaged equipment, if certain guidelines are not followed.
Notes
Notes provide general information, which will be helpful for the reader to bear in mind.
The Multi-line 2 unit is not to be opened by unauthorised personnel. If opened anyway, the war-
ranty will be lost.

Be aware of the hazardous live currents and voltages. Do not touch any AC measurement in-
puts as this could lead to injury or death.
The general purpose of this document is to give the operator important information to be used in the daily

Using the and push-buttons moves the cursor, and the appropriate mode can be selected by pressing
the SEL button:
Mode Description
SEMI - The display push-buttons (START, STOP, GB ON, GB OFF) are active and can be used by
the operator.
- The regulators are also active, i.e. the speed control will bring the generator to nominal speed
upon start.
- When pushing a breaker button for closing, the AGC will synchronise (if allowed) the breaker.
When the breaker closes, the controls stop.
TEST - The unit will start the generator, carry out the test sequence (predefined time period) and stop
the generator again. Subsequently, the generator will return to AUTO or SEMI-AUTO mode.
The mains breaker will remain closed, and the generator breaker will remain open. NOTE:
The test running can be: Simple test: Starting the genset without closing the GB; Load test:
Parallel to the mains and take load to a predefined value; Full test: Transfer the load to the
genset and open the MB.
AUTO - The unit will automatically carry out the control type selected (AMF, fixed power, etc.).
- The display control push-buttons (START, STOP, GB ON, GB OFF) are disabled.
- If the selected running mode is fixed power, mains power export, load takeover or island, tim-
er start/stop (week watch) or binary input, then start/stop can be used.
MAN - The display push-buttons (START, STOP) are active and can be used by the operator.
- The regulators are not active, i.e. speed (and voltage) control has to take place using binary
inputs for UP and DOWN control.
- The breakers will be able to open or close at any time. A synchronisation check will always
be performed to ensure safe closing of the breakers.
BLOCK - The unit will not be able to start. BLOCK mode can be selected during standstill and the
password is needed to exit BLOCK mode. If the BLOCK mode is selected while the genset is
running, the mode will have no effect until the genset is stopped. To select another mode af-
ter the BLOCK mode, the password must be entered.
To return to the other display functions from MODE selection, press the BACK push-button.
If reading of the alarms is not desired, use the BACK push-button to exit the alarm list.
If you decide to enter the alarm list later, use the INFO push-button to jump directly to the alarm list reading.
The alarm list contains both acknowledged and unacknowledged alarms provided that they are still active
(that is the alarm condition is still present). Once an alarm is acknowledged and the condition has disap-
peared, the alarm will no longer be displayed in the alarm list.
This means that if there are no alarms, the alarm list will be empty.

This display example indicates an unacknowledged alarm. The display can show only one alarm at a time.
Therefore, all other alarms are hidden.
To see the other alarms, use the and push-buttons to scroll in the display.
To acknowledge an alarm, place the cursor (underscore) under "ACK" and then press SEL.
To jump to the first (oldest) or the last (most recent) alarm, place the cursor under the selection (FIRST or
LAST) and press SEL.

3. Battery test
The log list contains up to 150 events, the alarm list contains up to 30 historical alarms and the battery test list
contains up to 52 historical battery tests.
An event is e.g. closing of breaker and starting of engine. An alarm is e.g. overcurrent or high cooling water
temperature. A battery test is e.g. test OK or test failed.

push-button.
