REALIZE MAINS SUPPLY POWER VIA EXTERNAL DIGITAL INPUT PORT
This function allows external connected mains to supply power for the unit. If mains are active, whatever
working mode the unit states, genset will stop (genset not in standby status) and not allowed to start. At the
moment, mains active/reactive/apparent power and power factor are calculated by the controller (total
energy/start time, and current energy/start time are not calculate), meanwhile, controller overall controls the
light based on the mains status.
Controller uses the same port as the generator sampling voltage to sampling mains voltage. If use this
function, mains/generator switch function must be controller external of the controller. When the input port
that configured as 59 Mains Supply Active is active, controller will judge the detecting voltage is mains
supply.
When mains supply is active, engine shuts down, but the light controlled still keep the previous status.
When mains supply is active, controller can only control the lights on the lighthouse on and off, but not
control the genset start up.
When mains supply is abnormal, controller enters into mains abnormal delay, and all lights are turned off
after the delay. When mains supply is normal, all lights are turned on again.
