This button places the module into its AUTO MODE. This mode allows the module to
control the function of the generator automatically. The module monitors numerous
start requests via digital input, PLC and MSC link and when one has been made, the set is
automatically started. Once the generator is available, the module automatically instructs
the generator to synchronise and once in sync, to be place the generator on load (‘Close
Generator Output’ becomes active). Upon removal of the starting signal, the module
starts the Return Delay Timer and once expired, the load is automatically ramped off the
generator and then it is taken off load (‘Close Generator Output’ becomes inactive). The
generator then continues to run for the duration of the Cooling Timer until it stops. The
module then waits for the next start event.
This button is only active in the STOP/RESET mode, MANUAL mode. Pressing the Start
button in Stop/Reset Mode powers up the engine’s ECU but does not start the engine. This
can be used to check the status of the CAN communication and to prime the fuel system.
Used for navigating the instrumentation, event log and configuration screens.
Used to silences the audible alarm in the controller, de-activates the audible alarm output
(if configured) and illuminates all of the LED on the module’s fascia as a lamp test function.
Close Generator – The Close Generator button controls the operation of the generator
load switch and is only active in the Manual Mode once the generator is available. Pressing
the Close Generator button when the generator is available and off load automatically
instructs the generator to synchronise and once in sync, to be place the generator on load
(‘Close Generator Output’ becomes active). If the generator bus is dead (has not supply
on it) the generator is placed on load immediately. Further presses of the Close Generator
button have no effect.
Open Generator – The Open Generator button is only active in the Manual Mode and
allows the operator to open the generator load switch. Pressing the Open Generator
button when the Generator is on load, automatically ramps the load off the generator and
then takes it off load (‘Close Generator Output’ becomes inactive). Further presses of the
Open Generator button have no effect.
