DST2600 User’s Manual
The first row shows the communication resource presently connected to the serial
port. The indication can be:
-
RS232
: if there is a RS232/RS485 connection.
-
Modem
: to the serial port it is connected an analogue modem. The rest of the row
shows the modem status (at rest, incoming call, outgoing call etc.).
-
GSM
: to the serial port it is connected a GSM modem. The rest of the row shows
the modem status (at rest, incoming call, outgoing call etc.). The second row
shows the GSM service provider’s name and the present signal level (from one to
four notches).
DST2600 manages an internal clock/calendar. Attention: there isn’t any internal real clock
circuit, so if you remove power supply from DST2600, when you power it again the date will
be “01/01/2000” and the time will be “00:00:00”. In this case, date and time are marked as “not
valid” (in some cases this situation causes the activation of a warning signaling). Date and
time are marked as “valid” only when you change them (or a part of them), even if you simply
confirm actual values. You can change date and time by the serial port (SicesSupervisor PC
software) or manually by the standard parameter programming function: the year, the month,
the day etc are normal configurable parameters of DST2600.
The clock is used for two main functions:
Periodical test.
Inhibition of automatic genset operations in predefined time intervals.
Both functions will be explained in the next paragraphs.
DST2600 allows to execute genset running tests, in such a way to check its efficiency and to
assure the lubrication of the engine internal parts. The test can be run:
On operator direct command (on START key).
From digital input command.
Automatically with regular intervals.
From serial port command.
From SMS command.
To run the test, DST2600 must be in “AUTO” mode.
GSM: idle
