NOTICES
Used only to check and command a genset unit. It commands the mains and generator contactors to supply the user. It
has been designed to be installed only inside on an electrical panel as a single unit and so that it can be connected to
other components (contactors, fuses, thermo-magnetic switches, etc.) which the installer will have available to complete
the plant.
Warning: Components carrying dangerous voltage levels
Only assigned and suitably trained personnel are allowed access to the control unit. No
maintenance operations are permitted unless the plant is disconnected from the mains and the
battery. As an additional safety measure, the plant phases should be short-circuited and earthed.
Not withstanding the above, only assigned and trained personnel can perform the following
operations with the plant on:
- make a visual inspection of the control unit, the connections and their markings;
- measure the voltage and/or current values;
- programming of the functions.
These interventions, however, must be performed using equipment which ensures appropriate levels of
electrical protection.
Warning:
Adhere closely to the following advice
- When making connections always follow the instructions and the Wiring Diagram on pages 6-7.
- Any interventions on the unit must be performed with the motor stationary and terminal 50 of the starting motor
disconnected.
- Check that the consumption of the connected equipment are compatible with the described technical characteristics.
- Install in such a way that there is always adequate heat disposal.
- Always install under other equipment which produces or spreads heat.
- Handle and connect without mechanically stressing the electronic board.
- Make sure that no copper conductor cuttings or other waste material fall inside the control panel.
- Never disconnect the terminals of the battery with running engine.
- Never use a battery charger for the emergency start-up; the control unit could be damaged.
- In order to safeguard people and equipment, before connecting an external battery charger, disconnect the electrical
system terminals from the battery poles.
THIS CONTROL UNIT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR OPERATING IN THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
- Where the environmental temperature is outside the limits indicated in the technical data.
- Where the air pressure and temperature variations are so rapid as to produce exceptional condensation.
- Where there are high levels of pollution caused by dust, smoke, vapour, salts and corrosive or radioactive particles.
- Where there are high levels or heat from radiation caused by the sun, ovens or the like.
- Where attacks from mould or small animals are possible.
- Where there is the risk of fire or explosions.
- Where the control panel can receive strong vibrations or knocks.
- Where the control panel is protected by barriers or casing with protection level less than IP40.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
This control unit functions correctly only if inserted in plants which conform with the CE marking standards; it meets the
exemption requirements of the standard EN61326-1 but it cannot be excluded that malfunctions could occur in extreme
cases due to particular situations.
The installer has the task of checking that the disturbance levels are within the requirements of the standards.
CONDUCTION AND MAINTENANCE
The following maintenance operations should be performed every week:
- check that the indicators function;
- check the condition of the batteries;
- check that the conductors are tight, check the condition of the terminals.
UNLESS WE MAKE A WRITTEN DECLARATION STATING THE CONTRARY, THIS CONTROL UNIT IS NOT
SUITABLE FOR USE AS A CRITICAL COMPONENT IN EQUIPMENT OR PLANTS RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEPING
PERSONS OR OTHER LIVING BEINGS ALIVE.
