3.2 AUTOMATIC MODE OF OPERATION
Automatic mode is used to start the set in response to an external start requirement from another
device.
A number of options exist for the remote start input (selectable using 5xxx configuration software).
•
Remote Start on Load input indicates to the controller that it should start the set, and run
‘off load’.
•
Remote Start on Load input indicates to the controller that it should start the set,
synchronise (if required) and share load with any other sets in the system.
•
Remote Start on Load Demand input indicates to the controller that it should start the sets,
synchronise (if required) and share load with any other sets in the system, automatically
starting and stopping sets on changing load demand.
NOTE: - If a digital input configured to panel lock is active, changing module modes will
not be possible. Viewing the instruments
and
i
is NOT affected by panel lock. If panel
lock is active the Panel lock indicator (if configured) illuminates.
This mode is activated by pressing the
pushbutton. An LED indicator beside the button
will illuminate to confirm this operation.
Should the remote start input (if configured) become active then the following sequence is observed.
To allow for short term or false remote start signals, the Start Delay timer is initiated. After this
delay, if the pre-heat output option is selected then the pre-heat timer is initiated and the
corresponding auxiliary output (if configured) will energise.
NOTE:- If the Remote Start signal is removed during the Start Delay timer, the unit will
return to a stand-by state.
After the above delays the Fuel Solenoid (or enable ECU output if configured) is energised, then
one second later, the Starter Motor is engaged.
NOTE:- If the unit has been configured for CAN Bus, compatible ECU’s will receive the
start command via CAN Bus. Refer to the Manual CAN and DSE Wiring. Part No. 057-004 for
more information on utilising DSE modules with electronically controlled engines.
The engine is cranked for a pre-set time. If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt then
the starter motor is disengaged for the pre-set rest period. Should this sequence continue beyond
the set number of attempts, the start sequence will be terminated and Fail to Start fault will be
displayed.
