G20, 30, 40 SIIIA Operation & Maintenance Manual
AUTOMATIC MODE
Note: If a digital input configured to external
panel lock
is active, changing module modes is not possible.
Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock.
Auto mode allows the generator to operate fully automatically, starting and stopping as required with no user intervention.
WAITING IN AUTO MODE
If a starting request is made, the starting sequence begins.
Starting requests can be from the following sources:
•
Activation of an auxiliary input that has been configured to
remote start
•
Activation of the inbuilt exercise scheduler
STARTING SEQUENCE
To allow for 'false' start requests, the
start delay
timer begins.
Should all start requests be removed during the
start delay
timer, the unit returns to a stand-by state.
If a start request is still present at the end of the
start delay
timer, the fuel relay is energised and the engine is cranked.
Note: If the unit has been configured for CAN, compatible ECUs receive the start command via CAN and
transmit the engine speed to the DSE controller.
ENGINE RUNNING
The generator is placed on load if configured to do so.
Note: The load transfer signal remains inactive until the Oil Pressure has risen. This prevents excessive wear
on the engine.
If all start requests are removed, the
stopping sequence
will begin.
Auto Mode
is activated by pressing the
Auto Mode
button.
The
Auto Mode
icon is displayed to indicate
Auto Mode
operations if no alarms are present.
If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt then the starter motor is disengaged for the
crank rest
duration after which the next start attempt is made. Should this sequence continue
beyond the set number of attempts, the start sequence is terminated and the display shows
Fail to
Start
.
Once the engine is running and all starting timers have expired, the animated
Engine Running
icon
is displayed.
