1. INSTALLATION
1.1 Introduction to the Control Panel
The unit is a control and protection panel used in gensets. It shows the measured values on its
displays. The unit 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 measured parameters are:

Mains voltage phase R to neutral
Mains voltage phase S to neutral
Mains voltage phase T to neutral
Mains voltage phase R-S
Mains voltage phase S-T
Mains voltage phase T-R
Gen voltage phase U to neutral
Gen current phase U
Gen KW phase-U
Gen cos phase-U
Battery voltage,
Coolant temperature
Oil pressure
Gen frequency
1.2 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 an opening of 116x86 millimeters. Before
mounting, remove the retaining steel spring and connectors from the unit, then pass the unit through the
mounting opening. The unit will be maintained in its position by the steel spring.
Engine body must be grounded for correct operation

of the unit, otherwise incorrect voltage and frequency
measurements may occur.
The output of the current transformers shall be 5 Amperes. The input current rating of the current
transformers may be selected as needed (between 10/5 and 9000/5 amps). Current transformer outputs shall
be connected by separate cable pairs from each transformer, to related inputs. Never use common terminals
or grounding. The power rating of the transformer should be at least 5 VA. It is recommended to use 1%
precision transformers.
If analogue senders (e.g. temperature or oil pressure) are connected to the unit, it is not possible to
use auxiliary displays, otherwise the unit may be destroyed. If temperature or oil pressure displays are already
present on the generator control panel, do not connect the senders to the unit. The unit is factory programmed
for VDO type senders. However different types of senders are selectable via programming menu. Please
check the programming section.
The programmable digital inputs are compatible with both ‘normally open’ and ‘normally closed’
contacts, switching either to BAT- or BAT+.
The charge alternator connection terminal provides also the excitation current, thus it is not necessary
to use an external charge lamp.

4. ALARMS AND WARNINGS
Alarms indicate an abnormal situation in the generating set are divided into 2 priority levels:
1- ALARMS: These are the most important fault conditions and cause:
- The related alarm led to turn on steadily,
- The genset contactor to be released immediately,
- The engine to be stopped immediately,
- The Horn, Alarm and Alarm+Warning relay outputs to operate, (if selected via
programming menu)
2- WARNINGS: These conditions cause:

- The related alarm led to flash,
- The Horn and Alarm+Warning relay outputs to operate, (if selected via programming
menu)
If the ALARM MUTE button is pressed, the Horn relay output will be deactivated; however the existing
alarms will persist and disable the operation of the genset.
Alarms operate in a first occurring basis:
-If an alarm is present, following alarms and warnings will not be accepted,
-If a warning is present, following warnings will not be accepted.
Alarms may be of LATCHING type following programming. For latching alarms, even if the alarm
condition is removed, the alarms will stay on and disable the operation of the genset.
The existing alarms may be canceled by pressing one of the operating mode buttons (LOAD TEST /
TEST / OFF / AUTO).
Most of the alarms have programmable trip levels. See the programming chapter for user adjustable
alarm limits.
LOW OIL PRESSURE: Set if a signal is detected at the Low Oil Pressure Switch input or the oil pressure
value measured from the sender is below the programmed limit. Warning (P_015) and alarm (P_016) limits
are separately programmable for the oil pressure sender input. This fault will be monitored with holdoff timer
(P_023) delay after the engine is running. Also if the oil pressure switch is open at the beginning of a start
attempt, then the engine will not be started and the oil pressure led will flash. When the oil pressure switch
closes, normal operation will be resumed.
HIGH TEMPERATURE: Set if a signal is detected at the High Temperature Switch input or the coolant
temperature value measured from the sender is above the programmed limit. Warning (P_017) and alarm
(P_018) limits are separately programmable for the temperature sender input.
SPEED: Set if the generator frequency is outside programmed limits (overspeed/Underspeed). This fault will
be monitored with holdoff timer (P_023) delay after the engine is running. Different low and high limits for
warning and alarm are separately programmable. (P_008/P_009/P_010/P_011)
START FAIL: Set if the engine is not running after programmed number of start attempts. (P_035)
OVERLOAD: Set if the genset phase current goes over the Overcurrent Limit (P_002) or if the genset power
(KW) measured on phase-U goes over the Excess Power (P_003) limit for Overcurrent / Excess Power
Timer (P_511). If the currents and power goes below the limits before expiration of the timer then no alarm will
be set.
VOLTAGE: Set if any of the generator phase voltages goes outside programmed limits (P_006/P_007). This
fault will be monitored with holdoff timer (P_023) delay after the engine is running.
BATTERY: Set if the battery voltage goes outside programmed limits. During engine cranking this fault is not
monitored. Warning level for low battery voltage (P_012) and both warning (P_013) and alarm (P_014) levels
for high battery voltage are programmable.
CHARGE: Set if a charge alternator failure (or broken belt) occurs. This fault condition may result to a
warning or alarm following programming. (P_038)
RECTIFIER FAIL: Set if a signal is detected at the rectifier fail input. This input is only monitored when mains
voltages are present.
EMERGENCY STOP: Set if a signal is detected at the emergency stop input.
SPARE: Set if a signal is detected in one of the spare fault input.

5. MODES OF OPERATION
The modes of operation are selected by pushing the front panel keys. Changing the operation mode
while the genset is running will result to a behavior suitable for the new operating mode. For example, if the
AUTO mode is selected when genset is running at TEST mode, then the genset will stop (assuming that the
mains voltages are present).
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 genset and mains automatic transfer. If at least one of the mains phase voltages is
outside limits (P_004/P_005), the mains contactor will be deactivated.
The diesel will be started for programmed times (P_035) after the wait period (P_0026). When the engine
runs, the crank relay will be immediately deactivated. The engine will run without load during engine heating
period (P_029). After this, if alternator phase voltages and frequency are within limits, then the unit will wait for
the generator contactor period (P_032) 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 (P_030). At the end of this period the generator contactor is deactivated and the mains contactor will be
energized. If a cooling period is given (P_031), 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 running in the emergency
backup mode (P_041). 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 will be kept running unless another mode is selected. To stop the engine, select AUTO or OFF
mode.
6. OTHER FEATURES
6.1 Remote Start Operation
The unit offers the possibility of REMOTE START mode of operation. If the program parameter
P_042 is set to 1 then the unit will enter to the Remote Start operation. The Remote Start signal should be
connected to the SPARE/REMOTE START (22) input.
The REMOTE START signal may be a NO or NC contact, switching to either battery positive or
battery negative. These selections are made using programming menu.
It is also necessary to set the program parameter P_077 to 3 in order to prevent the alarms generated
from this input.
In this mode the mains phases are not monitored. If the REMOTE START signal is present then
the mains will be supposed to fail, inversely if the REMOTE START signal is absent, then mains voltages
will be supposed to be present. The front panels mimic diagram’s mains LEDs will reflect the status of the
REMOTE START input.

6.2 Sender type Selection
The unit has the ability to adapt to any type of oil pressure and temperature senders. The
commonly used standard sender characteristics are recorded in memory and selectable from a list.
However non standard senders may also be used by entering their characteristics to the table.
Oil Pressure Sender Type Selection:

The oil pressure sender is selected using parameter P_019. The selectable sender types are:
0: The sender characteristics are defined in table using parameters P_089 to P_100.
1: VDO 0-7 bars (10-180 ohms)
2: VDO 0-10 bars (280-20 ohms)
3: DATCON 0-7 bars (240-33 ohms)
Temperature Sender Selection:

The temperature sender is selected using parameter P_020. The selectable sender types are:
0: The sender characteristics are defined in table using parameters P_101 to P_112.
1: VDO
2: DATCON DAH type
3: DATCON DAL type
6.3 Engine Heating Operation
Especially on engine without a body heater, or with a failing one, it may be desired that the genset
should not take the load before reaching a suitable temperature. The unit offers 2 different ways of engine
heating.
1. Timer controlled heating:

This operation mode is selected when the parameter P_037 is set to 0. In this mode, the engine will run
during parameter P_029, and then the genset will take the load.
2. Timer and temperature controlled heating:

This operation mode is selected when the parameter P_037 is set to 1. In this mode, at first the engine will
run during parameter P_029, then it will continue to run until the measured coolant temperature reaches
the limit defined in parameter P_022. When the requested temperature is reached, the load will be
transferred to the genset. This operation mode may be used as a backup to the engine body heater. If the
engine body is warm the heating will be skipped.

DKG-207 User Manual V-01.14 (30.05.2008)
6.4 Service Request Display
This led is designed to help the periodic maintenance of the genset to be made consistently.
The periodic maintenance is basically carried out after a given engine hours (for example 200 hours),
but even if this amount of engine hours is not fulfilled, it is performed after a given time limit (for example 12
months).
The SERVICE REQUEST led has no effect on the

genset operation.
The unit has both programmable engine hours and maintenance time limit. The engine hours is
programmable with 50-hour steps (P_044), the time limit is programmable between with 1 month steps
(P_045). If any of the programmed values is zero, this means that the parameter will not be used. For example
a maintenance period of 0 months indicates that the unit will request maintenance only based on engine
hours, there will be no time limit. If the engine hours is also selected as 0 hours this will mean that the
SERVICE REQUEST display will be inoperative.
When the engine hours OR the time limit is over, the SERVICE REQUEST led (red) will start to flash.
To turn off the led, and reset the service period, press together the ALARM MUTE and LAMP
TEST keys for 5 seconds. The upper display will show “SER”.
The remaining engine hours and the remaining time limit are kept stored in a non-volatile memory and
are not modified by power supply failures.
The remaining time and engine hours to service may be checked via the statistics menu selected by
pressing the MENU key for 1 second.
When the MENU key is pressed the display will show “HtS” (hours to service). When the MENU key is
released it will show the first 3 digits of the engine hours to service. When the MENU key is pressed again, the
display will show “HtS” (hours to service). When the MENU key is released it will show the last 3 digits of the
engine hours to service.
When the MENU key is pressed the display will show “ttS” (time to service). When the MENU key is
released it will show the first 3 digits of the remaining days to service. When the MENU key is pressed again,
the display will show “ttS” (time to service). When the MENU key is released it will show the last 3 digits of the
remaining days to service.
6.5 Engine Hour Meter
The unit features a non-erasable incremental engine hour meter. The hour meter information is kept in
a non-volatile memory and is not modified by power supply failures.
The engine hours may be displayed via the statistics menu selected by pressing the MENU key for 1
second.
When the MENU key is pressed the display will show “EnH” (engine hours). When the MENU key is
released it will show the first 3 digits of the engine hours. When the MENU key is pressed again, the display
will show “EnH” (engine hours). When the MENU key is released it will show the last 3 digits of the engine
hours.

6.6 Modem Connection

The unit offers the remote monitoring and programming features over the telephone network via a
modem connection. The program used for remote monitoring and programming is the same as the
program used for RS-232 connection.
If the modem is connected, the program parameter P_043 should be set to 1, otherwise faulty
operation may occur.
6.7 Remote Monitoring and Programming

Thanks to its standard serial RS-232 port, the unit offers the remote monitoring and programming
feature.
The remote monitoring and programming PC software may be downloaded from
www.datakom.com.tr internet site.
The software allows the visualization and recording of all measured parameters. The recorded
parameters may then be analyzed graphically and printed. The software also allows the programming of
the unit and the storage of the program parameters to PC or the downloading of stored parameters from
PC to the unit.
For PCs without a serial port, below USB to serial adapters are tested and approved :
DIGITUS USB 2.0 TO RS-232 ADAPTER (PRODUCT CODE: DA70146 REV 1.1)
DIGITUS USB 1.1 TO RS-232 ADAPTER (PRODUCT CODE: DA70145 REV 1.1)
FLEXY USB 1.1 TO SERIAL ADAPTER (PRODUCT CODE BF-810)
CASECOM USB TO SERIAL CONVERTER (MODEL: RS-01)
6.8 Intermittent operation in AUTO mode

If the load is a battery operated system (like a GSM base station), it may not be necessary to run
the genset immediately after a mains failure.
The program parameter P_025 defines the genset operation delay after a mains failure in minutes.
The delay range is from 0 to 4 hours.
Equally it may not be necessary to run the genset indefinitely, because the load charges its
batteries when the engine runs. Thus the engine may stop after a sufficient operation period for battery
charging.
The program parameter P_047 defines the maximum engine operation delay. The range is from 6
minutes to 14 hours. If the delay is set to zero, then the engine will run indefinitely.
The parameters P_025 and P_047 used together, provide the intermittent operation needed in
GSM base stations.
6.9. Gas Engine Fuel Solenoid Control

The unit provides a special function for the fuel solenoid control of a gas engine.
The fuel solenoid of a gas engine is different from a diesel engine. It should be opened after the
cranking has been started and should be closed between crank cycles. The delay between the crank start
and solenoid opening is adjusted using the parameter P_050.
The gas engine fuelsolenoid relay function may be assigned to spare relays using program
parameters P_051/P_052.

7. STATISTICAL COUNTERS
The unit provides a set of non resettable incremental counters for statistical purposes.
The counters consist on:
-total engine cranks,

-total genset runs,
-total genset on load.
These counters are kept in a non-volatile memory and are not affected from power failures.
The statistical counters are only displayed on the PC screen using the remote monitoring and
programming software. They can not be displayed on the unit.

To enter the program mode, press the MENU button for 5 seconds. The program mode is only
allowed if the PROGRAM LOCK input (terminal_23) is left open. If this input is tied to GROUND, the
program value modification will be disabled to prevent unauthorized intervention. It is advised to keep the
PROGRAM LOCK input tied to GROUND.
The program mode will not affect the operation of the unit. Thus programs may be modified
anytime, even while the genset is running.
In program mode, when the MENU key is pressed the display will show the program parameter
number, when the MENU key is released the display will show the program parameter value. The first
program number is “000”
Each depression of the MENU key will cause the display to switch to the next program parameter.
If the MENU key is hold pressed the program numbers will increase by steps of 10. After the last
parameter, the display switches back to the first parameter. The displayed parameter value may be
increased or decreased using “▲” and “▼” keys. If these keys are hold pressed, the program value will be
increased/decreased by steps of 10.
Program parameters are kept in a non-volatile memory and are not affected from power failures.
To exit the program mode press one of the mode selection keys. If no button is pressed during 1
minute the program mode will be cancelled automatically.
Pgm Definition Unit Std Val Description

This is the rated value of the current
transformer. The secondary of the transformer
will be 5 Amps. For values over 990A use 10%
Current Transformer of the value. These values will be displayed as
0 A 500
Primary K-Amperes. (for ex. 1.85KA) Values under
100A may be used by multiplying with 10 in
order to enable the current display with 0.1A
precision. (for ex: 35.7A)
This parameter determines the display range of
current and active power:
Current Transformer
1 0 0: 000-999
Decimal Point
1: 0.00-9.99
2: 00.0-99.9
If the current goes above this limit, during the
period defined in P_024 an OVERLOAD alarm
2 Overcurrent Limit A 500
will be generated. Enter this information with the
same format as parameter P_000.
If the active power measured on phase-U goes
above this limit, during the period defined in
3 Excess Power Limit KW 350 P_024, an OVERLOAD alarm will be generated.
Enter this information with the same format as
parameter P_000.
If one of the mains phases goes under this
limit, it means that the mains are off and it
4 Mains Voltage Low Limit V 170
starts the transfer to the genset in AUTO and
TEST modes.
If one of the mains phases goes over this limit,
it means that the mains are off and it starts the
5 Mains Voltage High Limit V 270
transfer to the genset in AUTO and TEST
modes.
If the generator phase voltage goes under this
6 Gen. Voltage Low Limit V 180 limit when feeding the load, this will generate a
VOLTAGE alarm and the engine will stop.
If the generator phase voltage goes over this limit
7 Gen. Voltage High Limit V 270 when feeding the load, this will generate a

10. TROUBLESHOOTING
The genset operates while AC mains are OK or continues to operate after AC mains are OK:
-Check engine body grounding.

-AC mains voltages may be outside programmed limits, measure the phase voltages.
-Check the AC voltage readings by pressing the MENU button.
-Upper and lower limits of the mains voltages may be too tight. Check the parameters P_004 and P_005.
Standard values are 170/270 volts.
-The hysteresis voltage may be given to excessive. Check the parameter P_021, the standard value is 8
volts.
AC voltages or frequency displayed on the unit are not correct:
-Check engine body grounding, it is necessary.

-The error margin of the unit is +/- 3 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 of the engine
and check if the error is removed.
-If there are faulty measurements only when mains are present, then the battery charger may be failed.
Turn off the rectifier fuse and check.
Phase-to-Phase AC voltages are not correct although Phase to Neutral voltages are correct:
-Incorrect phase order. Please connect phase voltages in the correct order.
KW and cosΦ readings are negative although the Amp readings are correct:
-The current transformer is connected with reverse polarity. Change the CT polarity.
Short circuit the outputs of unused Current Transformers.
When the AC mains fails the unit energizes the fuel solenoid, but does not start and OIL
PRESSURE 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 switch closes, 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 OIL
PRESSURE led flashes:
-The oil pressure switch closes very lately. As the unit senses an oil pressure, it does not start. When oil
pressure switch closes the unit will start. Optionally the oil pressure switch may be replaced.

DKG-207 User Manual V-01.14 (30.05.2008)
When the AC mains fails, the engine starts to run but the unit gives START FAIL alarm and then
the engine stops:
-The generator phase voltage is not connected to the unit. Measure the AC voltage between terminals U
and Generator Neutral at the rear of the unit while the engine is running. A fuse protecting the generator
phases 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 generator voltage rises lately. Also the generator remnant voltage is below 20 volts. The unit
removes starting with the generator frequency, and needs at least 20 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 D+ 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 D+ pulls
to battery positive.
The unit is inoperative:
Measure the DC-supply voltage between terminals 11 and 12 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 test the unit again.
Programming mode can not be entered:
The program lock input disables programming mode entry. Disconnect the program lock input from
battery negative before modification. Do not forget to make this connection again to prevent unauthorized
program modifications.
11. DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY
The unit conforms to the EU directives

-73/23/EEC and 93/68/EEC (low voltage)
