Fuel Management
The SC300 can monitor the use of fuel by a standby generator.
► To set up fuel management
•
Connect a fuel level sensor to an analog input. The fuel level sensor should have a 0 to 10V
output if connected to an IOBSS or IOBGP analog input.
•
On the web, go to:
Analog Inputs
.
•
Configure the selected Analog Input and set
Function
to
Fuel Level
.
•
Go to:
Control Processes
>
Generator Control
and set
Fuel Tank Volume
.
The following information is available about fuel usage.
Parameter
Description
Where to find:
Fuel Level
The volume of fuel in the generator's fuel tank.

Generator Refuel
Date
The time and date the generator was last
refueled.
Last Refuel Volume The amount of fuel added to the generator's fuel
tank during the last refuel.
Generator Backup
Time
The estimated time for which the generator
could continuously run based on the current fuel
level and historical fuel consumption.
Tank Empty
Estimate
The best current estimate of the date the fuel
tank will run dry if the current characteristics of
generator usage and fuel consumption do not
change. This is useful for installations that run
the generator regularly and with a reasonably
constant duty cycle.
The time remaining estimates will not be accurate if the generator has been replaced or if the
typical usage pattern has changed. If this happens, the fuel consumption history can be cleared
manually.
Clearing the fuel consumption history will cause the time remaining estimates to be inaccurate or
not available until enough information about the new generator has been collected.
► To clear the fuel consumption history
•
On the web, go to:
Control Processes
>
Generator Control > Clear Fuel Consumption History
.
Smart Alarms based on System Value Sources can be used to configure alarms based on:
•
Fuel Level.
•
Generator Backup Time.
•
Fuel Remaining Time (this is the estimated
Tank Empty Date
).
See Smart Alarms on page 60 for details of how to set Smart Alarms.
