AUTOMATIC GENSET CONTROL UNIT WITH 

DIESEL OR PETROL ENGINE 

TYPE CAM-432

COMPLETE WITH:

• three-phase voltmeter check a three-phase mains  a two-phase genset

• texts in 6 languages: Italian, English, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese.

• automatic supervision of faults

• glow plugs control

• starter control

• remote commands with contacts (startup- stop - test)

• EJP-functions

• easy programming  by dip switches

• available input for anomaly

• clock for programming the start up or stopping of the genset

• programmable weekly selftest

• anomaly historical record (including data from the last 100 anomalies)

• automatic battery charger(1A)

• serial port RS232

This carries out the control and command function of a generator set, maintains the charge of the starter 

battery and operates the contactors of the mains and of the generator so that power can be supplied to the 

power users. It is constructed solely for built-in installation on an electric switchboard and to be connected 

to other components (contactors, fuses, overload switches, etc...) that the installer will have prepared to 

complete the system.
