ALLMAND LSC100 LIGHT SEQUENCE COMMANDER 

Features and Benefits

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

The LSC100 Light Sequence Commander includes an engine auto start control and a light circuit controller
in one package.  The control provides for complete automatic light tower operation once the machine is set
up on the job site.  The controller can be equipped with a seven-day programmable timer, photocell, or a
wireless communication unit.

FEATURES and BENEFITS

1. Engine Auto Start

: allows the light tower to automatically turn itself ON and OFF as desired with the

standard photocell, available timer, or wireless device.

2. Automatic Glow Plug Smart System

: Operates the glow plugs when and as needed by monitoring

the engine water temperature. Operator will not over apply the glow plugs and possibly burn them out
or apply the glow plugs when the engine is warm and does not require glow plug operation. The
Allmand LT-100 controller is adaptable to meet the glow plug requirements of different engines.

3. Integrated low oil pressure shut down

:

 

If the oil pressure falls below a specified minimum it will

initiate the automatic shut down sequence.

4. Integrated high water temperature shut down

:

 

If the water temperature exceeds the maximum

acceptable level it will initiate the shut down sequence.

5. Low fuel level shutdown

:

 

When the fuel level reaches

 

approximately

 

10 percent

 

capacity it will

initiate the automatic shut down sequence.
By shutting down the light tower before completely running out of fuel the generator is protected from
being shut down while being under load, and when refueled the engine will not require bleeding of the
fuel system and the possible starter and solenoid failures as a result of overcranking.

6. Sequenced light control

: Lights will come on automatically after the engine is started and will turn off

automatically before engine is shut down. This provides protection for the generator because the load
will be OFF before the engine is shut down.

7. Diagnostic LED Fault indicator

:

 

The control panel includes a red flashing LED alarm on the control

panel to indicate that the light tower was shut down by a fault. The fault LED could indicate a shut
down due to low fuel level, low oil pressure, high water temperature or failure of the engine to start
during the automatic start sequence.

8. Smart Crank engine starter protection

:

 

The automatic start sequence will make five attempts to

start the engine with a 10-second rest between attempts. If the engine does not start after 5 attempts it
will turn ON the LED fault indicator.

AVAILABLE CONTROLS

1. Photocell control

:

 

The photocell is set to start the light tower at dusk and turn the light tower off at

dawn. With this option the operator simply

 

turns the controller power switch to ON with the Auto/

Manual switch set for automatic function, The light tower will start and or shut down whenever the
ambient light is at the preset values. The photocell is specifically located so will not be affected by the
light produced by the tower and includes a delay so it is not affected by headlights or other sources of
light.

2. Seven-day programmable timer

:

 

The seven-day programmable timer allows the light tower to be

started or shut down as desired. The operator can program the timer for as many as 8 events per day.
The programmer can also select specific days or groups of days as desired.
