The DKG-152 is a microprocessor-controlled remote start unit that automatically starts and stops a genset. It monitors engine parameters and faults and shuts down the engine if issues arise. It has inputs to monitor engine temperature, oil pressure, and charge alternator. When a remote start signal is received, it follows set sequences to preheat, start, and run the engine depending on configured options. If faults occur or remote start is lost, it will stop the engine per set parameters. It is designed for easy installation and operation of gensets in various applications.

DESCRIPTION The protections will be enabled only after the Protection Hold-off Timer has expired. The DATAKOM model DKG-152 is a low cost, microprocessor controlled unit designed to start If the engine does not fire, start and fuel outputs are deenergized, if ‘Preheat’ option is selected, the and stop the genset automatically on request of an AUXILIARY relay output will be energized and the external Remote Start signal. unit will wait for Wait Between Starts period before When the engine is running, the unit monitors fault a new crank cycle is initiated. The engine is conditions and shuts-down the engine automatically cranked up to 3 times. in the occurrence of an alarm. The alarms are identified by a group of LEDs displaying only the If the Remote Start signal disappears while the first occurring one. engine is running, the engine will continue to run for Cooldown Duration. Then the fuel relay is The unit has jumper selectable options for the deenergized, if the ‘Activate to Stop’ option is auxiliary relay output function. The selection is selected, the AUXILIARY relay output will be made by the position of a single jumper situated at energized for Stop Timer, and the unit will be ready the left side panel of the unit. for a new Remote Start. If the jumper is placed between: The PREHEAT/STOP ( ) led will continuously A & B : 50 Hz nominal, AUX is Preheat output indicate the AUXILIARY relay status. B & C : 60 Hz nominal, AUX is Preheat output C & D : 60 Hz nominal, AUX is Stop output The occurrence of below fault conditions will cause D & A : 50 Hz nominal, AUX is Stop output the engine to be stopped immediately: -Overspeed, In the OFF position, the DC supply is removed from -Underspeed, the module, thus remote start operation is disabled -High engine temperature, and zero power consumption is achieved. -Low oil pressure, If a fault condition occurs, the FUEL solenoid will OPERATION be deenergized. If the ‘Energize to Stop’ option is selected, the AUXILIARY relay output will be The unit powers up when the AUTO position on the energized during Stop Timer and the led front panel is selected. It will start the engine when associated with this fault condition will turn on. its Remote Start input is pulled to battery negative Only the first occurring fault will be indicated. To and will act like below: reset the fault condition, turn the switch to the OFF If ‘Preheat’ option is selected, it energizes the position for a few seconds. AUXILIARY relay output for Preheat Delay, then The Charge Fail condition is treated as a warning releases it. Then it energizes the FUEL relay output only and do not cause the engine to stop. The input for Wait Before Start delay, then energizes the monitors the D+ terminal of the charge alternator. START relay output for Start Duration. If the TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM
