1. 

Use and basic operation 

The KEA 252 PA automatic system is used in systems in which 

several gensets

 are operated in 

parallel

. It can 

be used as a peak load genset, CHP module, for emergency power systems, for pure standalone operation or 
all resulting combinations. It is designed so that genset fields that equipped with this automatic system can be 
easily cascaded. A central controller must take over the activating of any mains and coupling switched and the 
selection of gensets.  
The synchronisation unit, the power and cos φ controller, the load distribution in standalone operation and the 
power failure protection in accordance with 

VDE-AR-N 4105

 and the voltage monitor (from Version 8) according 

to 

E  VDE-AR-N  4120

  during  the  mains  parallel  operation  are  included.  All  functions  and  displays  required  in 

VDE 0108

, including the drag indicator display, are fulfilled by this automatic system. Also, the requirements for 

the control of a diesel motor have been fulfilled in accordance with 

VdS 2100-22

The function of the output relays and the parameters

 can be set with a PC.  

Because the KEA 252 has the same dimensions and fastenings as its predecessor, 

replacement is simple

Four  dedicated  operating  messages  and  four  programmable  operating  displays

  can  be  labelled  by  re-

placeable paper strips and are indicated by LEDs.

  All other alarms and all actual and reference values

 are 

shown on the display. The illuminated display shows two lines with up to 16 characters with a character height 
of 10 mm so that it can be read from a greater distance.  

The parameterisation

 can be carried out via the keys and the display or via 

the serial interface

 (LWL or USB 

– automatic switching) with the parameterisation program 

P

ARA

W

IN

Two 

CAN bus interfaces

 are available for coupling to a 

ZLT

 and to a motor management system. However, the 

protocol for the motor management system must be known and implemented. 
The  automatic  system  can  be  cost-effectively  integrated  in  a  communication  system  (K

UHSE 

T

ELEMON

)  via  the 

public telephone or GSM mains by plugging in a 

modem

Important note! 

The functions for the mains parallel operation deviate in part from the previous model KEA 102 

PA because of compliance with the new VDE regulation.
