1. INSTALLATION

1.1 Introduction to the Control Panel

The unit is a control and protection panel used in gensets. It shows the measured values on its
displays. The unit is designed to provide user friendliness for both the installer and the user.
Programming is usually unnecessary, as the factory settings have been carefully selected to fit most
applications. However programmable parameters allow the complete control over the generating set.
Programmed parameters are stored in a Non Volatile Memory and thus all information is retained even
in the event of complete loss of power.

The measured parameters are:

Mains voltage phase L1 to neutral Gen current phase L1

Mains voltage phase L2 to neutral Gen current phase L2
Mains voltage phase L3 to neutral Gen current phase L3
Mains voltage phase L1-L2 Gen frequency
Mains voltage phase L2-L3 Gen kW phase L1

1.2 Mounting the Unit

The unit is designed for panel mounting. The user should not be able to access parts of the
unit other than the front panel.
Mount the unit on a flat, vertical surface. Before mounting, remove the mounting brackets and
connectors from the unit, then pass the unit through the mounting opening. The unit will be maintained in
its position by the mounting brackets spring.

Engine body must be grounded for correct operation of

the unit, otherwise incorrect voltage and frequency
measurements may occur.

The output of the current transformers shall be 5 Amperes. The input current rating of the current
transformers may be selected as needed (between 10/5 and 9000/5 amps). Current transformer outputs
shall be connected by separate cable pairs from each transformer, to related inputs. Never use common
terminals or grounding. The power rating of the transformer should be at least 5 VA. It is recommended to
use 1% precision transformers.
If analogue senders (e.g. temperature, oil pressure or fuel level) are connected to the unit, it is not
possible to use auxiliary displays, otherwise the unit may be damaged. If temperature or oil pressure or
fuel level displays are already present on the generator control panel, do not connect the senders to the
unit. The unit is factory programmed for VDO type senders. However different types of senders are
selectable via programming menu. Please check the programming section.
The programmable digital inputs are compatible with both ‘normally open’ and ‘normally
closed’ contacts, switching either to BAT- or BAT+.
The charge alternator connection terminal provides also the excitation current, thus it is not
necessary to use an external charge lamp.

4. ALARMS AND WARNINGS

Alarms indicate an abnormal situation in the generating set are divided into 3 priority levels:

1- ALARMS: These are the most important fault conditions and cause:
- The ALARM led to be on steadily,
- The genset contactor to be released immediately,
- The engine to be stopped immediately,
- The Horn, Alarm, Alarm+Load_dump and Alarm+Load_dump+Warning digital
outputs to operate, (if selected via programming menu)

2- LOAD_DUMPS: These fault conditions cause:

- The ALARM led to flash,
- The genset contactor to be released immediately,
- The engine to be stopped after Cooldown period,
- The Horn, Alarm+Load_dump and Alarm+Load_dump+Warning digital outputs to
operate, (if selected via programming menu)

3- WARNINGS: These conditions cause:

- The WARNING led to be on steadily,
- The Horn and Alarm+Load_dump+Warning digital outputs to operate, (if selected
via programming menu)

If the ALARM MUTE button is pressed, the Horn output will be deactivated; however the
existing alarms will persist and disable the operation of the genset.

Alarms operate in a first occurring basis:

-If an alarm is present, following alarms, load_dumps and warnings will not be accepted,
-If a load_dump is present, following load_dumps and warnings will not be accepted,
-If a warning is present, following warnings will not be accepted.

Alarms may be of LATCHING type following programming. For latching alarms, even if the alarm
condition is removed, the alarms will stay on and disable the operation of the genset. The existing alarms
may be canceled by pressing one of the operating mode buttons (LOAD TEST / TEST / OFF / AUTO).
Most of the alarms have programmable trip levels. See the programming chapter for adjustable
alarm limits.

DKG-209 User Manual V-29 (20.08.2013)

LOW OIL PRESSURE: Set if a signal is detected at the Low Oil Pressure Switch input or the oil
pressure value measured from the sender is below the programmed limit. Warning and alarm limits are
separately programmable for the oil pressure sender input. This fault will be monitored with Holdoff
Timer delay after the engine is running. Also if the oil pressure switch is open at the beginning of a start
attempt, then the engine will not be started and “Oil Pressure Exists!” information is displayed. When
the oil pressure switch closes, normal operation will be resumed.
HIGH TEMPERATURE: Set if a signal is detected at the High Temperature Switch input or the coolant
temperature value measured from the sender is above the programmed limit. Warning and alarm limits
are separately programmable for the temperature sender input.
LOW TEMPERATURE (warning) : Set if the coolant temperature value measured from the sender is
blow the Engine Heating Temperature limit.
LOW FUEL: Set if a signal is detected at the low fuel level input or the the fuel level measured from the
sender is below the programmed limit. Warning and alarm limits are separately programmable for the
fuel level sender input.
EMERGENCY STOP: Set if a signal is detected at the emergency stop input.
SPARE-1: Set if a signal is detected from the related spare fault input.
LOW SPEED / HIGH SPEED: Set if the generator frequency is outside programmed limits. These faults
will be monitored with Holdoff Timer delay after the engine is running. Low and high limits for warning
and alarm are separately programmable. Another high frequency shutdown limit which is 12% above the
high limit is always monitored and stops the engine immediately.
START FAIL (alarm): Set if the engine is not running after programmed number of start attempts.
STOP FAIL (warning): Set if the engine has not stopped before the expiration of the Stop Timer.
OVERLOAD (load_dump): Set if at least one of the genset phase currents goes over the Overcurrent
Limit for Overload Timer. If currents goes below the limit before expiration of the timer then no alarm will
be set.
EXCESS POWER (load_dump): Set if the genset power (KW) supplied to the load goes over the
Excess Power limit for Overload Timer. If the power goes below the limit before expiration of the timer
then no alarm will be set.
GENSET LOW VOLTAGE: Set if any of the generator phase voltages goes outside programmed limits
for Overload Timer. This fault will be monitored with holdoff timer delay after the engine is running.
GENSET HIGH VOLTAGE: Set if any of the generator phase voltages goes outside programmed limits
for Overload Timer. This fault will be monitored with holdoff timer delay after the engine is running.
LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE (warning): Set if the battery voltage goes below the programmed limit.
During engine cranking this fault is not monitored.
HIGH BATTERY VOLTAGE: Set if the battery voltage goes above programmed limits. Both warning and
alarm levels for high battery voltage are programmable.
CHARGE: Set if a charge alternator failure (or broken belt) occurs. This fault condition may result to a
warning or alarm following programming.
MAINS PHASE ORDER FAIL (warning): Set if the mains phase order checking is enabled, mains
phases are present and mains phase order is reversed. This fault prevents the Mains Contactor to close.

5. MODES OF OPERATION

The modes of operation are selected by pushing the front panel keys. Changing the operation
mode while the genset is running will result into a behavior suitable for the new operating mode. For
example, if the LOAD TEST mode is selected when genset is running at TEST mode, then the genset will
take the load.

STOP: In this mode, the mains contactor will be energized if mains phase voltages are within the
programmed limits. The engine will be stopped.

AUTO: It is used for genset and mains automatic transfer. If at least one of the mains phase voltages is
outside limits, the mains contactor will be deactivated.
The diesel will be started for programmed times after the preheat timer. When the engine runs, the crank
relay will be immediately deactivated. The engine will run without load during engine heating period. After
this, if alternator phase voltages and frequency are within limits, then the unit will wait for the generator
contactor period and the generator contactor will be energized.
When all the mains phase voltages are within the limits, the engine will continue to run for the mains
waiting period. At the end of this period the generator contactor is deactivated and the mains contactor will
be energized. If a cooldown period is given, the generator will continue to run during cooldown period. At
the end of the period, the fuel solenoid will be de-energized and the diesel will stop. The unit will be ready
for the next mains failure.

RUN: It is used to test the generator when the mains are on, or keep the generator running in the
emergency backup mode. The operation of the generator is similar to the AUTO mode, but the mains
contactor will not be deactivated if the mains are not off. If the mains are off, mains contactor will be
deactivated and the generator contactor will be activated. When the mains are on again, a changeover to
the mains will be made, but the engine will be kept running unless another mode is selected. To stop the
engine, select AUTO or OFF mode.

TEST: It is used to test the genset under load. Once this mode is selected, the engine will run and the
load will be transferred to the genset. The genset will feed the load indefinitely unless another mode is
selected.

6. OTHER FEATURES

6.1 Remote Start Operation

The unit offers the possibility of REMOTE START mode of operation. Any digital input may be
assigned as Remote Start Input using Input Function Select program parameters.

The REMOTE START signal may be a NO or NC contact, switching to either battery positive or
battery negative. These selections are made using programming menu.

It is also necessary to set the ACTION program parameter of the related input to 3 in order to
prevent any alarm from this input.

In this mode the mains phases are not monitored. If the REMOTE START signal is present
then the mains will be supposed to fail, inversely if the REMOTE START signal is absent, then mains
voltages will be supposed to be present. The front panels mimic diagram’s mains LEDs will reflect the
status of the REMOTE START input.

6.2 Sender type Selection

The unit has the ability to adapt to any type of oil pressure and temperature senders. The
commonly used standard sender characteristics are recorded in memory and selectable from a list.
However non standard senders may also be used by entering their characteristics to the table.

Oil Pressure Sender Type Selection:

Selectable sender types are:
0: Sender characteristics are defined in Sender Characteristics table.

6.3 Engine Heating Operation

Especially on engines without a body heater, or with a failing one, it may be desired that the
genset should not take the load before reaching a suitable temperature. The unit offers 2 different
ways of engine heating.

1. Timer controlled heating:

This operation mode is selected when the Engine Heating Method parameter is set to 0. In this
mode, the engine will run during parameter Engine Heating Timer, and then the genset will take the
load.

2. Timer and temperature controlled heating:

This operation mode is selected when the Engine Heating Method parameter is set to 1. In this
mode, at first the engine will run during parameter Engine Heating Timer, then it will continue to run
until the measured coolant temperature reaches the limit defined in parameter Engine Heating
Temperature. When the requested temperature is reached, the load will be transferred to the genset.
This operation mode may be used as a backup to the engine body heater. If the engine body is warm
the heating will be skipped.

6.4 Engine Idle Speed Operation

It may be required that the engine runs at the idle speed for a programmed duration for engine
heating. The idle operation duration is adjusted with the parameter Idle Speed Timer. The idle speed
will be set by the governor control unit of the engine.

Any of the spare relay outputs may be assigned as IDLE output using Relay Definition
program parameters. Also relays on an extension module may be assigned to this function.

The Idle speed operation is performed both in engine start-up and cool-down sequences.
Speed and voltage protections are disabled during idle speed operation.

6.5 Engine Block Heater

The unit is able to provide a relay output in order to drive the block heater resistor. The
temperature reference is the coolant temperature measured from the the analog sender input.

The block heater relay function may be assigned to spare relays using Relay Definition
program parameters. Also relays on an extension module may be assigned to this function.

The engine body temperature limit is adjusted using the parameter Engine Heating
Temperature. The same parameter is used for engine heating operation.

The relay will become active if the body temperature falls to 4 degrees below the limit set by
Engine Heating Temperature. It turns off when the body temperature exceeds Engine Heating
Temperature.

6.6 Fuel Pump Control

The unit is able to provide a relay output in order to drive the fuel pump motor. The fuel pump
is used in order to transfer fuel from the large capacity main tank (if exists) to the genset daily tank
which is generally integrated in the chassis and has a limited capacity.

The fuel level reference is measured through the analog fuel level sender. When the
measured fuel level falls below Fuel Pump Low Limit parameter, the fuel pump relay output will
operate. When the fuel level reaches Fuel Pump High Limit parameter, the relay will turn off. Thus
the chassis fuel tank level will be always kept between Fuel Pump Low Limit and Fuel Pump High
Limit parameters.

The fuel pump relay function may be assigned to spare relays using Relay Definition program
parameters. Also relays on an extension module may be assigned to this function.

6.7 Mains Simulation (Disable Start)

The unit offers an optional SIMULATE MAINS signal input. Any digital input may be assigned
as Simulate Mains using Input Function Select program parameters.

It is also necessary to set the ACTION program parameter of the related input to 3 in order to
prevent any alarms generated from this input.

The SIMULATE MAINS signal may be a NO or NC contact, switching to either battery positive or
battery negative. These selections are made using the programming menu.

If the Simulate Mains input is defined and the input signal is active, the mains phases are not
monitored and supposed to be inside limits. This will prevent the genset from starting even in case of a
mains failure. If the genset is running when the signal is applied, then usual Mains Waiting and
Cooldown cycles will be performed before engine stop. When the SIMULATE MAINS signal is present,
the front panels mimic diagram’s mains LEDs will reflect the mains voltages as present.

When the signal is passive, the unit will revert to normal operation and monitor the mains
voltage status.

The REMOTE START operation overrides SIMULATE

MAINS and FORCE TO START operations.

6.8 Delayed Mains Simulation, Battery Charging

The Delayed Mains Simulation feature is used in battery backed up telecom systems where
batteries are able to supply the load during a certain period. The genset is requested to run only when
battery voltage drops below the critical level. Once the engine runs, the rectifier system starts charging
the batteries and the battery voltage goes up immediately. Thus the engine should continue to run a
programmed period for effective charging. The critical battery voltage level will be detected by an
external unit which provides the digital Simulate Mains signal for the genset control unit.

The unit offers an optional SIMULATE MAINS signal input. Any digital input may be assigned
as Simulate Mains using Input Function Select program parameters.

It is also necessary to set the ACTION program parameter of the related input to 3 in order to
prevent any alarms generated from this input.

The SIMULATE MAINS signal may be a NO or NC contact, switching to either battery positive or
battery negative. These selections are made using the programming menu.

If the Delayed Simulate Mains program parameter is set to 1 and the input signal is active
when the genset is not feeding the load, the mains phases are not monitored and supposed to be
inside limits. This will prevent the genset from starting when the simulate mains signal is present
(batteries charged). The genset will start when mains voltages are out of limits and the simulate mains
signal not present.

If the genset is running when the signal is applied, then MAINS SIMULATION will be
prevented during Flashing Relay Timer program parameter. After this, usual Mains Waiting and
Cooldown cycles will be performed before engine stop. When the SIMULATE MAINS signal is present,
the front panels mimic diagram’s mains LEDs will reflect the mains voltages as present.

When the signal is passive, the unit will revert to normal operation and monitor the mains
voltage status.

The REMOTE START operation overrides DELAYED

SIMULATE MAINS operation. When both parameters
“Remote Start Operation” and “Delayed Simulate
Mains” are set then REMOTE START operation mode is
performed.

6.9 Dual Genset Mutual Standby Operation

Dual genset intermittent operation consists of regular switching of the load between 2 gensets.
The use of 2 gensets instead of one is due either to safety purposes in case of a genset failure or to a
continuous operation requesting service stops.
The running period for each genset is adjustable using Flashing Relay Timer program
parameter. If the time is adjusted as 0 hours, it will be actually set to 2 minutes for faster testing
purposes.
A flashing relay output function is provided, based on the parameter Flashing Relay Timer.
Each time the period programmed using Flashing Relay Timer elapses, the relay output will change
position.
The flashing relay function may be assigned to spare relays using Relay Definition program
parameters. Also relays on an extension module may be assigned to this function.
The dual genset intermittent operation uses also the Mains Simulation feature. Please review
chapter 6.7 for a detailed explanation of this feature.

Priority In Dual Genset Mutual Standby Operation:

It may be required that the dual genset system starts the same genset at every mains failure.
This is achieved using the PRIORITY input.

Any digital input may be assigned as Priority using Input Function Select program
parameters.

It is also necessary to set the ACTION program parameter of the related input to 3 in order to
prevent any alarms generated from this input.

The Priority signal may be a NO or NC contact, switching to either battery positive or battery
negative. These selections are made using the programming menu.

If a Priority input is defined, then the system will work in priority mode. If the priority signal is
applied, the unit will become master after each mains failure. If the priority signal is not applied, then
the unit will become the slave one and the other genset will start.

Please contact DATAKOM for a complete application

manual.

6.10 Service Request Display

This led is designed to help the periodic maintenance of the genset to be made consistently.
The periodic maintenance is basically carried out after a given engine hours (for example 200
hours), but even if this amount of engine hours is not fulfilled, it is performed after a given time limit (for
example 12 months).

The SERVICE REQUEST led has no effect on the

genset operation.

The unit has both programmable engine hours and maintenance time limit. The engine hours is
programmable with 50-hour steps, the time limit is programmable with 1 month steps. If any of the
programmed values is zero, this means that the parameter will not be used. For example a maintenance
period of 0 months indicates that the unit will request maintenance only based on engine hours, there will
be no time limit. If the engine hours is also selected as 0 hours this will mean that the SERVICE
REQUEST display will be inoperative.

When the engine hours OR the time limit is over, the SERVICE REQUEST led (red) will start to
flash and the service request relay function will be active.
The service request relay function may be assigned to spare relays using Relay Definition
program parameters. Also relays on an extension module may be assigned to this function.

To turn off the SERVICE REQUEST led, and reset the

service period, press together the ALARM MUTE and
LAMP TEST keys for 5 seconds.

The remaining engine hours and the remaining time limit are kept stored in a non-volatile memory
and are not affected from power supply failures.

The time and engine hours to service are displayed in the STATISTICAL COUNTERS menu.

6.13 Software Version Display

Some additional features are installed within consecutive software releases. In order to be
sure of the validity of the status of the unit, the software version needs to be known.

6.14 Modem Connection

The unit is capable of making modem calls in case of alarm, as well as answering modem
calls made from a remote location. GSM modems and classic cable network (PSTN) modems are
acceptable.
If the modem is connected to the unit, the Modem Enable program parameter should be set
to 1, otherwise faulty operation may occur.
A maximum of 2 telephone numbers can be defined for outgoing modem calls. In case of
alarm, the unit will attempt to reach control centers associated with each number. In case of modem
connection failure, the call will be repeated up to 30 times with 2 minute intervals.
When the modem call is in progress, a telephone icon ( ) will appear at the upper right
corner of the screen.

If Modem Enable or SMS Enable or MODBUS Address

parameters are different from zero, the local PC
connection will not work.

Advised modems are DATAKOM types which are powered up from the same DC battery
voltage than the unit. Most of other desktop modems with standard AT commands are also usable, but
it is the user’s responsibility to provide an uninterrupted AC supply source to the modem. The
necessary modem cable will be supplied by DATAKOM.
Modem calls are always terminated by the central RAINBOW software. However the unit does
not allow connection durations exceeding 2 minutes, and hangs up the modem when this period
expires.
The PC program used for remote monitoring and programming is the same RAINBOW
software used for RS-232 connection.
Please note that the modem operation is also compatible with the MODBUS communication.
Thus the unit can iniate and receive calls to/from a MODBUS master station. Please review chapter_8
for more details on MODBUS communication.

6.15 SMS Message Sending

The GSM SMS sending is activated by setting the SMS Enable program parameter to 1.

If Modem Enable or SMS Enable or MODBUS Address

parameters are different from zero, the local PC
connection will not work.

When a fault condition occurs, the unit will compose an SMS message and will send it to up to 6
phone numbers. If modem is enabled, only 4 telephone numbers are available for SMS sending.

The unit is also able to send SMS messages in below conditions, without creating a visible alarm
or warning:
Mains Fail, Mains Restored (enabled via SMS on Mains Change program parameter)
Fuel Theft, Fuelling (enabled by setting the Fuel Consumption / Hour parameter to other than 0)

If both modem and SMS are enabled, the unit will send SMS messages first and attempt modem
connection afterwards.

When SMS sending is in progress, an (SMS) icon will appear at the upper right corner of the
screen.

The maximum number of alarms transmitted in a SMS message is 4. This limitation is due to the
maximum length of an SMS message which is 160 characters.

A sample GSM SMS message is given below:

DKGxxx <SITE-ID>
STOP :LOW OIL PRESSURE SW.
END OF ALARM LIST

The first line of the message carries information about the unit type and the site identity string.
This line is intended for the identification of the genset sending the SMS message.
Each following line will give one fault information. The message will always be terminated by the
“END OF ALARM LIST” string.
When the message is sent, the existing alarms will be masked, causing the audible alarm relay to
release and preventing consecutive GSM SMS messages. Any new upcoming alarm will result in a new
GSM SMS message. The new message will indicate all existing alarms, even masked ones.

The necessary GSM modem cable will be supplied by DATAKOM. This is the same cable as
PSTN (land) modems.

6.16 Remote Monitoring and Programming

Thanks to its standard serial RS-232 port, the unit offers the remote monitoring and
programming feature.
The remote monitoring and programming PC software is called RAINBOW and may be
downloaded from www.datakom.com.tr internet site with password login.
The modem, SMS and Modbus modes are not compatible with the local PC connection. Modem
Enable, SMS Enable and MODBUS Address program parameters should be set to 0 before
connection.

The RAINBOW software allows the visualization and recording of all measured parameters.
The recorded parameters may then be analyzed graphically and printed. The software also allows the
programming of the unit and the storage of the program parameters to PC or the downloading of
stored parameters from PC to the unit.

For PCs without a serial port, below USB to serial adapters are tested and approved :

DIGITUS USB 2.0 TO RS-232 ADAPTER (PRODUCT CODE: DA70146 REV 1.1)

It is not possible to restore user parameters.

6.20. Gas Engine Fuel Solenoid Control

The unit provides a special function for the fuel solenoid control of a gas engine.

The fuel solenoid of a gas engine is different from a diesel engine. It should be opened after
the cranking has been started and should be closed between crank cycles. The delay between the
crank start and solenoid opening is adjusted using the Gas Solenoid Delay program parameter.

The gas engine fuel solenoid relay function may be assigned to spare relays using Relay
Definition program parameters. Also relays on an extension module may be assigned to this function.

6.21. Load Shedding / Dummy Load

The load shedding feature consists on the disconnection of the least crucial loads when the
genset power approaches to its limits. These loads will be supplied again when the genset power falls
below the programmed limit. The internal Load Shedding function is always active. Any of the auxiliary
relays may be used as the load shedding output.
The dummy load function consists on the connection of a dummy load if the total genset load
is below a limit and to disconnection of the dummy load when the total power exceeds another limit.
The dummy load function is the inverse of the load shedding function, thus the same output may be
used for both purposes.
The parameters used in Load Shedding feature are in the Electrical Parameters Group:
Load Shedding Low Limit: If the genset active power output goes below this limit, then the Load
Shedding relay will be deactivated.
Load Shedding High Limit: If the genset active power output goes above this limit, then the Load
Shedding relay will be activated.

6.22. Fuel Theft / Fuelling Messages

The unit is able to send SMS messages in fuel theft or fuelling conditions.

These SMS messages are sent without creating visible fault condition.

These features are enabled by setting the program parameter Engine Parameters > Fuel
Consumption / Hour to a value other than 0%.

The Fuel Consumption / Hour parameter should be set to a value clearly greater than the
maximum fuel consumption of the engine.

If the fuel level measured from the sender input is decreased more than this parameter in 1
hour period, then a FUEL THEFT sms message is sent to programmed telephone numbers.

If the fuel level measured from the sender input is increased more than this parameter in 1
hour period, then a FUELLING sms message is sent to programmed telephone numbers.

6.23. Firmware Update

The unit offers possibility of updating the firmware in the field. The firmware is updated through
the RS-232 serial port using Rainbow or a special DOS program.

The unit will go to firmware download mode with a special command from the PC program. In
download mode, the display of the unit will show “DL-V1.00”

During firmware update process, the progress is visible through a completion bar on the
screen.

The firmware update operation will take around 3 minutes.

After completion of the update a special command will set back the unit to normal operation
mode.

14. TROUBLESHOOTING

The genset operates while AC mains are OK or continues to operate after AC mains are OK:

-Check engine body grounding.

-AC mains voltages may be outside programmed limits, measure the phase voltages.
-Check the AC voltage readings by pressing the MENU button.
-Upper and lower limits of the mains voltages may be too tight. Check the parameters Mains Voltage
Low Limit and Mains Voltage High Limit. Standard values are 170/270 volts.
-The hysteresis voltage may be given to excessive. The standard value is 8 volts.

AC voltages or frequency displayed on the unit are not correct:

-Check engine body grounding, it is necessary.

-The error margin of the unit is +/- 3 volts.
-If there are faulty measurements only when the engine is running, there may be a faulty charging
alternator or voltage regulator on the engine. Disconnect the charging alternator connection of the
engine and check if the error is removed.
-If there are faulty measurements only when mains are present, then the battery charger may be
failed. Turn off the rectifier fuse and check again.

KW and cosΦ readings are faulty although the Amp readings are correct:

-Current transformers are not connected to the correct inputs or some of the CTs are connected with
reverse polarity. Determine the correct connections of each individual CT in order to obtain correct KW
and cosΦ for the related phase, and then connect all CTs.

Short circuit the outputs of unused Current Transformers.

When the AC mains fails the unit energizes the fuel solenoid, but does not start and OIL
PRESSURE EXISTS ! message is displayed:

The unit is not supplied with battery (-) voltage at the oil pressure input.
-Oil pressure switch not connected.
-Oil pressure switch connection wire cut.
-Oil pressure switch faulty.
-Oil pressure switch closes too lately. If oil pressure switch closes, the unit will start. Optionally oil
pressure switch may be replaced.

The engine does not run after the first start attempt, then the unit does not start again and OIL
PRESSURE EXISTS ! message is displayed:

-The oil pressure switch closes very lately. As the unit senses an oil pressure, it does not start. When
oil pressure switch closes the unit will start. Optionally the oil pressure switch may be replaced.

When the AC mains fails, the engine starts to run but the unit gives START FAIL alarm and
then the engine stops:

-The generator phase voltages are not connected to the unit. Measure the AC voltage between
terminals GEN L1-L2-L3 and Generator Neutral at the rear of the unit while the engine is running. A
fuse protecting the generator phases may be failed. A misconnection may be occurred. If everything
is OK, turn all the fuses off, and then turn all the fuses on, starting from the DC supply fuse. Then test
the unit again.

The unit is late to remove engine cranking:

-The generator voltage rises lately. Also the generator remnant voltage is below 20 volts. The unit
removes starting with the generator frequency, and needs at least 20 volts to measure the frequency.
If this situation is to be avoided, the only solution is to add an auxiliary relay. The coil of the relay will
be between BATTERY (-) and charging alternator D+ terminal. The normally closed contact of the
relay will be connected serially to the unit's START output. So the starting will also be removed when
the D+ pulls to battery positive.

The unit is inoperative:

Measure the DC-supply voltage between terminals 19 and 22 at the rear of the unit. If OK, turn all the
fuses off, then turn all the fuses on, starting from the DC supply fuse. Then test the unit again.

Some program parameters are skipped:

These parameters are reserved for factory setting and cannot be modified.
