Battery Recharge Start
The controller has the ability to monitor the battery voltage and start the engine to charge the battery
based on voltage level settings. See
for more information.
Exerciser Start
The controller can start the engine at predetermined intervals to allow the engine to be exercised.
See
for more information.
Auxiliary Sensors
The controller can be configured to cause the engine to start and stop based on sensor levels. See
for more information.
Example:
A generator is required to start in order to heat a building when the ambient temperature
drops below a certain point. The controller can be configured to monitor the temperature, start the
generator and run until it reaches a certain temperature.
Auto Mains Failure
Te AMF version of the controller, it can be configured to automatically start the engine if a loss of
mains power is detected. It can can also be used to control Automatic Transfer Switch functions to
allow fully automated power restoration. See
for more information.
3.3.1
Emergency Stop and Failures
Emergency Stop
A switched input can be configured to 'Emergency Stop.' When this input becomes active the
controller will immediately turn off the Fuel Relay and turn on the Energize-to-Stop output (if
applicable).
WARNING
: It is mandatory to wire your Emergency Stop button or switch in a way that it
physically disconnects the fuel solenoid in conjunction with feeding the emergency stop
input on the controller.
Failures
Failures occur on the controller when a parameter that is being monitored goes outside its desired
range. The controller will immediately turn off the Fuel Relay and turn on the Energize-to-Stop output
(if applicable). It will also display the cause of the failure and record it into the Events History.
If you notice that the engine is shutting down immediately after start up, verify that the 'Bypass Time'
in the
menu is set to a high enough value to allow the readings to settle to their normal
ranges.
