AS3000 Model

Auto crank disconnect

Multi-attempt starting

Fault warning and shutdown

Reduced panel wiring

Simple set set-up

Description

The AS3000 provides automatic start up, fault mon-
itoring and shutdown control for engine driven
applications. The unique two-module design, with a
single interconnecting lead, gives reduced panel
wiring and installation. This simple, compact unit is
ideally suited to small engine and generator panels.

Key features

Multi-attempt cranking with auto crank disconnect

Automatic or manual modes, selected by front

facia pushbuttons. Control inputs for optional
security keyswitch.

User inteface module: front of panel mounted,

92mm square DIN cut-out. Environmental
sealing to IP65

Panel interface module: DIN rail mounted 

PCB tray.

• 

Fault shutdown and indication system. Low oil

pressure, high coolant temperature and auxil-
iary inputs are fitted to both modules, allowing
use with engine mounted fault switches or
panel mounted SWICHGAGE

®

units.

• 

Speed sensing (auto crank disconnect and over-

speed shutdown) is via magnetic pickup, gen-
erator AC or remote contact. Speed calibration
is automatic and adjustment free.

• 

Mains charger/charge alternator fail warning LED.

• 

Easy setup of operating options using circuit

board links.

• 

Generator AC Hz meter output, 0 – 5V.
