Function Description
Test Mode
Indicates that the system is in test mode
Initial Power Up
On power up, the unit displays the Logo.
The unit then displays the Serial number, Application Code and Firmware version.
After the initialisation process is complete, the unit waits for a Start request (Start Button, AMF failure
or Auto Start Input), during which time it will display ‘READY’.
Ready
When the unit is in READY all measuring systems and display systems are turned on. The unit
remains on for 1 minute and if the genset is not started in that time the unit goes into sleep mode to
conserve battery power. In this mode the unit wakes periodically to check for any unusual conditions
and if it finds none it goes back to sleep, otherwise it alarms accordingly. Where ‘awake’ mode has
been selected the system parameters are continuously scrolled.
Any activity on the buttons immediately wakes the unit and the appropriate action is taken.
Pressing the STOP button while the unit is asleep immediately wakes the unit and scrolls all engine
and generator parameter screens. This allows reading of battery voltage, fuel level, run hours KWH
etc.
Manual Operation
To start the genset
When the display is showing READY, press the start
START
button momentarily to start the genset.
The READY state implies the engine and generator parameters are as expected for a stationary
genset. If the conditions are not as expected, an appropriate warning or alarm is displayed on the
LCD. The warning or alarm condition must be cleared before the genset can be started.
The unit will perform the starting sequence as follows:
•
FUEL-ON.
o
If ETR (Energise To Run) fuel control is configured, the unit will control the fuel output
and display FUEL ON and the proceeds to the CRANK state.
o
For ETS (Energise To Stop) the sequence does not activate the output but proceeds
after a short delay to the CRANK state.
•
CRANK.
o
The crank output is activated and the display shows ‘Cranking’ with a count down time.
o
The crank output is deactivated when the unit has detected a speed signal above the
crank disconnect speed specified in the settings, or has detected oil pressure above the
minimum oil pressure specified in the settings or Excitation is present
o
If the genset does not start, the LCD will show ‘Stopping’, control the Fuel and Crank
outputs accordingly, and return to READY. No retries are done.
