Timer Description
Pre-heat Give a ‘pre start’ time during which the Preheat output and Starting alarm will
become active (if configured)
Pre-heat bypass
Should the set be stopped, the Pre-heat bypass timer begins. Should the set be
called to start again, before the timer expires, the pre-heat sequence is
bypassed as heating is not required since the set is still warm after the last run.
Cranking time The length of each crank attempt
Crank rest time The time between multiple crank attempts.
Engage Attempt time
(Only available if using Magnetic pick-up and multiple engage attempts)
This timer dictates the duration that the module will attempt to engage the starter
motor during each engage attempt. If the Magnetic Pick-up is not detecting
movement of the flywheel when this timer expires, the engage attempt will
terminate. Once all engage attempts have been made, the next start attempt
begins.
Engage Rest Time (Only available if using Magnetic pick-up and multiple engage attempts)
This timer dictates the duration that the module will wait between attempts to
engage to starter.
Delay Crank
(Only available if using Magnetic pick-up and multiple engage attempts)
This is the difference in time when the fuel relay energises and the crank relay
energises.
Smoke limit The amount of time that the engine will be requested to run at idle speed upon
starting. This is typically used to limit emissions at start up.
Smoke limit off This should be set to a little longer than the amount of time that the set takes to
run up to rated speed after removal of the command to run at
idle speed. If this
time is too short, the set could be stopped due to under speed failure. If the time
is too long, under speed protection is disabled until the Smoke limit time off time
has expired.
Safety on delay The amount of time at start up that the controller will ignore oil pressure, engine
speed, alternator voltage and other
delayed alarms. This is used to allow the
engine to run up to speed before protections are activated.
Warming up time The amount of time that the set will run BEFORE being allowed to take load.
This is used to warm the engine to prevent excessive wear.
Sensor fail delay (Only available if using Magnetic pick-up)
This is only used if magnetic pick speed sensing is selected. Once cranking has
commenced the module must receive a speed signal within this time. If no signal
is present, the generator will be shutdown and a Loss of Speed Sensing alarm
given.
