Use and maintenance Manual AUTOMATIC GENSET CONTROL PANEL with GC310/GC350
In the following pages there will be described in particular the prescriptions of the control panel and
the sequences the operator shall manage.
Before the automatic start-up of the plant, it is advisable to check the good operation of the genset.
In order to guarantee the correct operation of the plant, there are the following devices included:
In case of need of an external emergency stop button, it is possible to connect it to the terminals
n°1/2 on the terminal board XA, after removing the existing bridge.
The Genset is equipped with its own battery charger alternator for the battery recharge sufficient for
the maintenance of the batteries charge when they are working.
Otherwise, when the Genset is not in operation (with Mains presence), it is necessary to maintain
the batteries in perfect charge (to compensate for the auto-discharge, the consumption of the
auxiliary circuits, etc.) in order to guarantee always a good start-up.
Therefore, the panel is equipped with a proper automatic battery charger supplied by the Load, which
is composed by a mechanic unit made up of the electric machine (transformer) and the electronic
control, which includes a heat sink for the components that modulate the charge and internal status
LEDs.
For further details of the characteristics and the operations of control, see the proper operations
manual.
In order to reach the ideal conditions to allow a rapid genset start-up and load pick-up, the engine
water is kept at a medium temperature of 40/50°C. In the internal water circuit there are electrical
heating resistances, with a thermostat device (thermostat contact that closes with min. engine
temperature) that commands the insertion. The circuit supply is resulted from the mains line,
deactivating it automatically when the genset begins to work (in case of mains failure).
