The modes of operation are selected by pushing the front panel keys. Changing the operation
mode while the genset is running will result into a behavior suitable for the new operating mode. For
example, if the AUTO mode is selected when genset is running at RUN mode, if mains phase voltages
are present then the genset will stop.
STOP:
In this mode, the engine will be stopped.
AUTO:
It is used for automatic genset operation. If the REMOTE START signal arrives, the diesel will be
started for programmed times after the preheat timer. When the engine runs, the crank relay will be
immediately deactivated. The engine will run without load during engine heating period. After this, if
alternator phase voltages and frequency are within limits, then the unit will wait for the generator contactor
period and the generator contactor will be energized.
When the REMOTE START signal is removed the engine will continue to run for the mains waiting period.
At the end of this period the generator contactor function is deactivated.If a cooldown period is given, the
generator will continue to run during cooldown 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 REMOTE START cycle.
RUN:
It is used to test the generator without REMOTE START signal. The engine will run unless another
mode is selected. To stop the engine, select
AUTO
or
STOP
mode.
The unit offers the possibility of
REMOTE START
mode of operation. Any digital input may be
assigned as
Remote Start Input
using
Input Function Select
program parameters.
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
ACTION
program parameter of the related input to
3
in order to
prevent any alarm 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.
