SELECTING THE CT RATING AND CABLE SECTION:

The load on a CT should be kept minimum in order to
minimize phase shift effect of the current transformer. Phase
shift in a CT will cause erroneous power and power factor
readings, although amp
readings are correct.
Teksan Generator advises CT rating to be selected following
this table for the best measurement accuracy.

SELECTING THE CT ACCURACY CLASS:

The CT accuracy class should be selected in accordance with the required measurement precision.
The accuracy class of the Teksan Generator controller is 0.5%. Thus 0.5% class CTs are advised for
the best result.

16 TJ 509T-V.112013
 Current Transformers must be used for current
measurement. No direct connection allowed.
No common terminals or grounding allowed.

CONNECTING CTs:
Be sure of connecting each CT to the related phase input with the correct polarity. Mixing CTs
between phases will cause faulty power and pf readings.

Many combinations of incorrect CTs connections are possible, so check both order of CTs and their
polarity. Reactive power measurement is affected by incorrect CTs connection in similar way as
active power measurement.

CORRECT CT CONNECTIONS

The generator is still loaded with 100 kW On each phase. The load Power Factor (PF) is 1.
PF in phase L2 will show -1,00 due to reverse CT polarity. The result is that total generator power
displayed by the controller is 100 kW.
Measured values are as follows:

 5. FUNCTIONALITIES
The same unit provides different functionalities through parameter setting. Thus a single stock item
will fulfill various duties, minimizing stock cost.

5.1 CT LOCATION SELECTION

CTs may be placed at alternator or load busbars. The CT location selection is configured with
Controller Configuration > CT Location parameter.

When CTs are located at the alternator side, them mains current and power parameters will not be
displayed.

When CTs are located at load side, then both mains and genset currents and power parameters will
be displayed, based on contactor positions.

Please review AMF functionality connection diagrams for CT connection details.

5.2. AMF FUNCTIONALITY

When AMF functionality is selected, the unit will monitor mains voltages, provide mains and genset
contactor control, run the engine and provide engine and alternator instrumentation and fault monitor-
ing.

The unit features both MPU and J1939 CANBUS inputs. Thus both mechanical and electronic engines
are supported.

The unit provides control outputs for both contactors and motorized circuit breakers.

5.3. ATS FUNCTIONALITY

When ATS functionality is selected, the unit will monitor mains voltages, provide mains and genset
contactor control and issue a Remote Start signal to the engine controller. It will provide alternator
instrumentation and fault monitoring.

Engine instrumentation and protection will be insured by the engine controller.

5.4. REMOTE START FUNCTIONALITY

When the Remote Start functionality is selected, the unit will wait for a Remote Start signal from ex-
ternal controller. Upon reception of this signal, it will run the engine, and provide engine and alternator
instrumentation and fault monitoring. The genset contactor/MCB control functionality will be available.

The unit features both MPU and J1939 CANBUS inputs. Thus both mechanical and electronic engines
are supported.

TJ 509T-V.112013 31
5.5. ENGINE CONTROLLER FUNCTIONALITY
When the Engine Controller functionality is selected, genset electrical measurements and protections
will be disabled. The unit is supposed to control an engine without alternator.

When the Engine Control Mode is activated:

-the unit will not display genset AC parameters (volts, amps, kW and pf).

-genset voltage and frequency protections are disabled. However engine rpm protections
will be active.

Note that the engine controller functionality is compatible with both AMF and Remote Start modes.

When AMF and Engine controller modes are selected, the unit will monitor the mains and will run the
engine upon mains failure. This functionality is useful for the backup electric motor driven systems
during mains failures, like fire pump or irrigation systems.

When Remote Start and Engine controller modes are selected, the unit will start and stop the engine
with external signal only.

The unit features both MPU and J1939 CANBUS inputs. Thus both mechanical and electronic engines
are supported.

It is strongly recommended to wire speed detection

through MPU or J1939-CANBUS and enter correct
low and high rpm limit values in order to preserve
engine speed protection.

32 TJ 509T-V.112013
5.6. REMOTE DISPLAY UNIT FUNCTIONALITY
The unit is able to become the remote display and control panel of another identical module.

The connection between two modules is done through RS-485 ports. For the best results, a 120 ohms
balanced, low capacitance cable should be used.

The data rate between modules is selectable between 2400 and 115200 bauds.

A high data rate offers better synchronization between modules, but the distance will be limited.

Typically at 115200 bauds and with adequate cable, the distance will be 200m maximum.

At 9600 bauds and adequate cable the distance can go up to 1200m.

Below settings are necessary:

PARAMETER MAIN UNIT REMOTE DISPLAY UNIT

Annunciator Mode 0 1
RS-485 Enable 1 1
RS-485 Baud Rate any same as main unit
Modbus Slave Address any same as main unit

The remote display panel should be powered up

with an isolated voltage source, like a wall adapter.
Otherwise damages due to ground potential
differences may occur.

5.7. 400HZ OPERATION

The standard unit is also 400Hz enabled. The nominal frequency setting accepts up to 500Hz. Usual
low and high limits will apply without any special setting.

The measurement system of the unit allows frequencies up to 1000Hz to be measured precisely.
However the display is limited to 650Hz. Frequencies over 650Hz will be displayed as 650Hz.

The bandwidth of the harmonic analyzer is limited to 1800Hz. Thus in case of a 400Hz system, only
the 3rd harmonic will be displayed.

The waveform display of a 400Hz signal will be represented with 10 points. It will not be as accurate
as 50/60Hz signals.

For more details please read chapter: “Waveform Display & Harmonic Analysis”.

 10. WAVEFORM DISPLAY & HARMONIC ANALYSIS
The unit features waveform display together with a precision harmonic analyzer for both mains and
genset voltages and currents. Both phase to neutral and phase to phase voltages are available for
analysis, thus 18 channels in total are possible.

In order to enable display and analysis of mains currents,

current transformers must be placed at load side.

Available channels are:

Mains volts: V1, V2, V3, U12, U23, U31
Mains currents: I1, I2, I3
Genset volts: V1, V2, V3, U12, U23, U31
Genset currents: I1, I2, I3

Scopemeter Display

The waveform display memory is of 100 samples length and 13 bit resolution, with a sampling rate
of 4096 s/s. Thus one cycle of a a 50Hz signal is represented with 82 points. The vertical scale is
automatically adjusted in order to avoid clipping of the signal.
The waveform is displayed on the device screen, and with more resolution on PC screen through the
RainbowPlus program.
The display memory is also available in the Modbus register area for third party applications. For more
details please check chapter “MODBUS Communications”.
The waveform display is updated twice a second. All channels may be scrolled using buttons.

52 TJ 509T-V.112013
The harmonic analyzer consists on a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm which is run twice a
second on the selected channel.
The sample memory is 1024 samples length and 13 bits resolution with a sampling rate of 4096 s/s.
The theory says that a periodic signal may have only odd multiples of the main frequency. Thus in a
50Hz network, harmonics will be found only at 150, 250, 350, 450 Hz etc...
The unit is able to analyze up to 1800Hz and up to 31th harmonic, whichever is
smaller. Thus in a 50Hz system all 31 harmonics will be displayed, but in a 60Hz system only 29
harmonics will come to the screen.
In case of a 400Hz system, only the 3rd harmonic will be displayed.

Graphical Harmonic Table Alphanumeric Harmonics Table

Harmonic are represented by 2 different ways on the device display. The first one is a graphical repre-
sentation allowing one sight perception of the harmonic structure. Because of the display resolution,
only harmonics above 2% are displayed.

The second display is alphanumeric, thus all harmonics are displayed with 0.1% resolution in order to
provide more detailed information.
On RainbowPlus program, harmonics and waveform are displayed on a single screen with more
resolution.

The controller will count pulses and convert them in liters (or gallons) then increment the fuel filling
counter by the calculated amount.
The fuel filling counter is visible through Scada and Central Monitoring. Thus the genset operator can
confirm fuel invoices with the real amount of fuel filled in the tank, preventing corruption.

 13. OPERATION OF THE UNIT
13.1. QUICK START GUIDE
STOPPING THE ENGINE: Press STOP button

STARTING THE ENGINE: Press RUN button

MANUAL LOAD TRANSFER: Use MAINS and GENSET buttons.

LOAD TEST: Press TEST button. The genset will run and take the load.

AUTOMATIC OPERATION: Press AUTO button. Check that AUTO READY led is illuminated.

Mode can be changed anytime without negative effect.

Changing the operation mode while the genset is running will
result into a behavior suitable for the new operating mode.

13.2. STOP MODE

The STOP mode is entered by pressing the button.
In this mode, the genset will be in a rest state.
When STOP mode is selected, if the genset is running under load, then it will be immediately un-
loaded. The engine will continue to run during Cooldown Timer and will stop afterwards.

If the STOP button is pressed again, then the engine will immediately stop.

If the engine fails to stop after the expiration of Stop Timer then a Fail to Stop warning will occur.

In this mode, the mains contactor will be energized only if mains phase voltages and frequency are
within the programmed limits. If enabled, the mains phase order is also checked.

If a Remote Start or Force to Start signal arrives in STOP mode, the genset will not start until AUTO
mode is selected

TJ 509T-V.112013 57
13.3. AUTO MODE
The AUTO mode is entered by pressing the button.
The AUTO mode is used for the automatic transfer between genset and mains. The controller will
constantly monitor the mains availability. It will run the engine and transfer the load when a mains
failure occurs.

If a panel lock input is defined and signal is applied, then

mode change will not occur. However display navigation
buttons are still enabled and parameters may be visualized.

The mains availability evaluation sequence is below:

• If at least one of the mains phase voltages or the mains frequency is outside limits, the mains
will be supposed failing. Otherwise mains is available.
• If a Simulate Mains signal is present, then mains are made available
• If a Force to Start signal is present, then mains are unavailable
• If a Remote Start input is defined, then this signal decides of mains availability.

When mains are evaluated as “unavailable” then an engine start sequence begins:

• The unit waits during Engine Start Delay for skipping short mains failures. If the mains is restored
before the end of this timer, the genset will not start.
• The unit turns on the fuel and preheat glow plugs (if any) and waits for preheat timer.
• The engine will be cranked for programmed times during crank timer. When the engine fires, the
crank relay will be immediately deactivated. See section Crank Cutting for more details.
• The engine will run at idle speed during Idle Speed Timer.
• The engine will run unloaded during engine heating timer.
• If alternator phase voltages, frequency and phase order are correct, the unit will wait for the
generator contactor period and the generator contactor will be energized.

When mains are evaluated as “available” again then an engine stop sequence begins:

• The engine will continue to run for the mains waiting period to allow mains voltages to stabilize.
• Then the generator contactor is deactivated and the mains contactor will be energized after
mains contactor timer.
• If a cooldown period is given, the generator will continue to run during the cooldown period.
• Before the end of cooldown, the unit will reduce the engine speed to idle speed.
• At the end of cooldown, the fuel solenoid will be de-energized, the stop solenoid will be
energized for Stop Solenoid timer and the diesel will stop.
• The unit will be ready for the next mains failure.

If the operation of the genset is disabled by the weekly

schedule, then the AUTO led will flash, and the operation of
the genset will be as in the OFF mode.

58 TJ 509T-V.112013
13.4. RUN MODE, MANUAL CONTROL
The RUN mode is entered by pressing the button.

When the RUN mode is selected, the engine will be started regardless of the mains availability.

The starting sequence is as described below:

• The unit turns on the fuel and preheat glow plugs (if any) and waits for preheat timer.
• The engine will be cranked for programmed times during crank timer. When the engine fires, the
crank relay will be immediately deactivated. See section Crank Cutting for more details.
• The engine will run at idle speed during Idle Speed Timer.
• The engine will run unloaded until another mode is selected..

The RUN mode allows also manual contactor control through MC and GC buttons.

When a contactor button is pressed, the related contactor will change position. Thus if it was on, then
it will turn off. If it was off then it will turn on.

If the other contactor was on, then it will turn off, the controller will wait for the related contactor
timer and the contactor will turn on. This will prevent manual closure of both contactors.

If uninterrupted transfers are allowed, then the unit will

check the synchronization. If synchronization is complete,
then it will make an uninterrupted transfer, where both con-
tactors will be on for a short while.

If Emergency Backup mode is enabled and if the mains are

off, then the mains contactor will be deactivated and the
generator contactor will be activated.
When the mains are on again, a reverse changeover to the
mains will be performed, but the engine will be kept running
unless another mode is selected.

In order to stop the engine press button or select another mode of operation.

TJ 509T-V.112013 59
13.5. TEST MODE
The TEST mode is entered by pressing the button.
The TEST mode is used in order to test the genset under load.
Once this mode is selected, the engine will run as described in the AUTO mode, regardless of the
mains availability and the load will be transferred to the genset.
The genset will feed the load indefinitely unless another mode is selected.

14. PROTECTIONS AND ALARMS

The unit provides 3 different protection levels, being warnings, loaddumps and shutdown alarms.
1- SHUTDOWN ALARMS: These are the most important fault conditions and cause:
- The ALARM led to turn on steadily,
- The genset contactor to be released immediately,
- The engine to be stopped immediately,
- The Alarm digital output to operate.
2- LOAD_DUMPS: These fault conditions come from electrical trips and cause:
- The ALARM led to turn on steadily,
- The genset contactor to be released immediately,
- The engine to be stopped after Cooldown period,
- The Alarm digital output to operate.
3- WARNINGS: These conditions cause:
- The WARNING led to turn on steadily,
- The Alarm digital output to operate.

If a fault condition occurs, the display will automatically

switch to the ALARM LIST page.

Alarms operate in a first occurring basis:

-If a shutdown alarm is present, following shutdown alarms, loaddumps and warnings will not be
accepted,
-If a loaddump is present, following loaddumps and warnings will not be accepted,
-If a warning is present, following warnings will not be accepted.

If the ALARM MUTE button is pressed, the Alarm

output will be deactivated; however the existing
alarms will persist and disable the operation of the genset.

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.

Existing alarms may be canceled by pressing one of the

operating mode buttons:

Most of the alarms have programmable trip levels. See the programming chapter for adjustable alarm
limits.
60 TJ 509T-V.112013
14.1. DISABLING ALL PROTECTIONS
The unit allows any digital input to be configured as “Disable Protections”.

This input configuration is used in cases where the engine is required to run until destruction. This
may be the case under critical conditions like fire fighting or other emergency cases.

This input should be configured as a “Warning”. Thus when protections are disabled, a warning mes-
sage will immediately appear on the screen.

When protections are disabled, all shutdown alarms and loaddumps will become warnings. They will
appear on the screen, but will not affect genset operation.

The input may be constantly activated, or preferably it may be activated by an external key activated
switch in order to prevent unauthorized activation.

Disabling protections will allow the genset run until destruction. Place
written warnings about this situation in the genset room.

14.2. SERVICE REQUEST ALARM

The SERVICE REQUEST 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 unit offers 3 independent service counter sets in order to enable different
service periods with different priorities.
The fault level created upon expiration of service timers may be set as Warning, Loaddump or
Shutdown. Thus different levels of fault conditions may be generated at different overrun levels.Each
service counter set has both programmable engine hours and maintenance time limit. If any of the
programmed values is zero, this means that the parameter will not be used.For example a main-
tenance 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
this service counter set is not operative.
When the engine hours OR the time limit is over, the SERVICE REQUEST led (red) will start to flash
and the service request output function will be active. The service request can also create a fault
condition of any level following parameter setting.
The service request output function may be assigned to any digital output 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 limits 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 GENSET STATUS menu group.

 17. CRANK CUTTING
In order to insure fast and reliable crank cutting, the unit uses various resources for engine running
condition detection.

Cranking is stopped when at least one of below conditions is met:

- Crank timer expired:

The crank timer is adjusted through Engine Parameters > Crank Timer. The maximum allowed
timer is 15 seconds.

- Genset AC voltage over threshold:

If the genset phase L1 AC voltage reaches Engine Parameters > Crank Cut Voltage, then cranking
is immediately stopped.

- Genset frequency over threshold:

If the genset phase L1 frequency reaches Engine Parameters > Crank Cut Frequency, then crank-
ing is immediately stopped.

- Genset rpm over threshold:

If the genset rpm reaches Engine Parameters > Crank Cut RPM, then cranking is immediately
stopped.

- Charge alternator voltage over threshold

Following setting is necessary: Engine Parameters > Charge Input Connected = 1

If the charge alternator voltage reaches Engine Parameters > Crank Cut Charge Voltage, then
cranking is immediately stopped.

- Oil pressure above threshold

Following setting is necessary: Engine Parameters > Crank Cut with Oil Pressure = 1

The crank cutting with oil pressure offers a programmable delay through Engine Parameters >
Crank Cut with Oil Pressure Delay. The parameter is factory set to 2 seconds.

Both low oil pressure switch and oil pressure sender readings may be used for crank cutting. The oil
pressure switch is always used. The sender may be disabled through Controller Configuration > Oil
Pressure Switch Priority parameter.

If enabled, when oil pressure is detected, cranking is stopped after adjustable timer delay.

 18. OVERCURRENT PROTECTION (IDMT)
The unit offers a programmable IDMT protection function in order to protect the alternator against
excessive currents.
The IDMT (Inverse Definite Minimum Time) protection function has such tripping characteristics that
the
tripping time varies inversely with the value of current. Beyond a certain current limit the tripping time
becomes constant (definite) and causes tripping in minimum time.
The tripping formula is defined as below:

Where:
TMS is the IDMT time multiplier setting. This is also the tripping time at 100% overload.
I is the current of the most loaded phase
Iset is the programmed overcurrent limit
t is the tripping time in seconds

Currents below the overcurrent limit are allowed to flow for unlimited time. Currents above the limit
will
cause the IDMT protection to trigger with a delay depending on the strength of the overcurrent.
Higher the
current, faster the protection will trip.
When a non-tripping overcurrent condition occurs, the unit will keep trace of it. In case of a consecu-
tive
overcurrent, the controller will take into account the residual heat caused by the previous overcurrent
and
will trip faster than usual.
The IDMT multiplier adjusts the sensitivity of the IDMT detector. When the multiplier is low, then
tripping
will be faster for the same current.
The unit provides separate Overcurrent limits for primary and secondary volt/speed/amp settings.
Switching from primary volt/freq/amps to secondary values will also switch the IDMT detector to the
secondary setting.
The action of the tripping may be selected as a Loaddump (stop after cooldown) or shutdown alarm
(immediate stop).

 19. MOTORIZED CIRCUIT BREAKER CONTROL
The unit offers full control for any brand and model of motorized circuit breakers (MCB).
The MCB control is performed through 3 digital output functions, namely Open, Close and Undervolt-
age
coil controls. Only 2 of these outputs are used in a single application.
Any digital output can be assigned to MCB control signals through programming menu.

The MCB CLOSE sequence is below:

Activate UV output, wait for undervoltage coil timer (tuv)
Activate CLOSE output, wait for close pulse timer (tcl)
Deactivate CLOSE output

The MCB OPEN sequence is below:

Deactivate UV output
Activate OPEN output, wait for open pulse timer (top)
Deactivate OPEN output

Open Pulse, Close Pulse and Undervoltage Coil timers

are adjusted through programming menu.

If MCB feedback input is defined and the MCB fails to

change position after the expiration of MCB Fail timer,
then a fault condition will occur.

114 TJ 509T-V.112013
MCB modules can be operated by 2 different ways. The unit supports both configurations.
Below is the terminology used:

 20. J1939 CANBUS ENGINE SUPPORT
The unit offers a special J1939 port in order to communicate with electronic engines controlled by an ECU (elec-
tronic control unit). The J1939 port consists of 2 terminals which are J1939+ and J1939-.

The connection between the unit and the engine should be made with an appropriate balanced 120 ohms low
capacitance coaxial cable. The external conductor should be grounded at one end only.

A 120 ohms termination resistor is installed inside the unit. Please do not connect external resistor.
The J1939 port is activated by setting the program parameter J1939 Enable to 1. The J1939 Engine Type param-
eter should be set accordingly. The list of available engines is given at the programming section. Please contact
TEKSAN GENERATOR for the most current list of engines.
If the J1939 port is enabled then the oil pressure, coolant temperature and the engine rpm information are
picked up from the ECU unit. If connected, the MPU unit and related analog senders are discarded.
The controller is able to read and display all below parameters, under condition that the engine sends these infor-
mation. Most engines send only some of them. If the engine does not send a parameter, the unit will simply skip
it. Thus only available information are displayed.

The complete list of J1939 display parameters is below:

1. Engine Brand, ECU Type, J1939 SW version
2. Engine Coolant Level
3. Engine Oil Level
4. Engine Coolant Pressure
5. Engine Fuel Delivery Pressure
6. Barometric Pressure
7. Engine Crankcase Pressure

25 . Battery Potential Switched

The J1939 measurements are also available for Modbus operation. Please check chapter Modbus Communica-
tions for more details.
When the fuel output is active, if no information is received from the ECU during last 3 seconds, then the unit will
give a ECU FAIL alarm and stop the engine. This feature prevents uncontrolled engine operation.
The fault conditions of an electronic engine are considered by the unit as warnings and do not cause engine
stop. The engine is supposed protected by the ECU which will stop it when necessary.
The electronic engine fault codes are displayed in text within the alarm list table, together with their SPN-FMI
codes. The complete list of fault codes is given in the engine manufacturer’s user manual.

 30. LOAD TRANSFER MODES

The unit offers 2 ways of transferring the load from genset to mains and vice versa:
-transfer with interruption,
-no break transfer, (with or without synchronization)

30.1. TRANSFER WITH INTERRUPTION

This is the most conventional way of transferring the load between the genset and mains. There will
be a power interruption period during the transfer. Note that the program parameters Mains Contac-
tor Timer and Genset Contactor Timer define the power interruption period.

If this transfer method is used, it is advised to make an

eletrical interlock between the two contactors to prevent an
accidental phase to phase short circuit.

Transfer from genset to mains:

-The generator contactor releases,
-The unit waits for Mains Contactor Timer
-The mains contactor is energized.
Transfer from mains to genset:
-The mains contactor releases,
-The unit waits for Generator Contactor Timer
-The generator contactor is energized.

122 TJ 509T-V.112013
30.2. UNINTERRUPTED TRANSFER
In this mode, the transfer will be made without power interruption. This implies that both of the
mains and generator contactors will be active during transfer.
The maximum duration that both contactors will be active is programmable. However this pro-
cess may be quicker with the use of one auxiliary feedback contact from each contactor. Thus the
changeover will be quite instantaneous, preventing any excess or reverse power condition.

To prevent a phase to phase short circuit below criteria must be met:

-The mains and generator voltages must be equal,
-The mains and generator voltages must have the same phase,
-The mains and generator voltages must have the same phase sequence order.
The unit will allow an Uninterrupted Transfer only if all of the below conditions are fulfilled:
-Mains phase voltages within the programmed limits,
-Mains frequency within the programmed limits,
-Genset phase voltages within the programmed limits,
-Genset frequency within the programmed limits,
-Mains phase order correct (or phase order check must be disabled),
-Genset phase order correct (or phase order check must be disabled),
-The difference between mains and genset frequencies not more than programmed limit,
-The voltage difference mains-L1 and genset-L1 not more than programmed limit,
-The phase angle between mains-L1 and genset-L1 not more than programmed limit,

When an uninterrupted transfer cycle is started, the unit will wait until the expiration of the
Synchronization Fail Timer, to find a matching frequency, phase and voltage.
Usually, with frequencies matching at +/- 2Hz and voltages matching at +/-10 volts an
Uninterrupted Transfer is expected to successful.
If matching is found before the expiration of the Synchronization Fail Timer, then both contactors
will be activated. If contactor auxiliary contacts are used, the other contactor will release immedi-
ately. If contactor auxiliary contacts are not used, the other contactor will release after contactor
timeout .
The unit offers below parameters for the setup of the Uninterrupted transfer feature.
Parameter Definition Description
No Break Transfer 0: only interrupted transfer enabled
Enable 1: no break transfer enabled
Synchronization Fail If the phase and voltage synchronization is not successful before the expiration of
Timeout this timer, then a Synchronization Fail warning is given and the transfer will be
performed with interruption.
Synchronization When synchronization is detected, both contactors will stay closed during this timer.
Contactor Timeout
Max Freq Difference This is the maximum difference between mains and genset frequencies to close both
contactors.
Max Volt Difference This is the maximum difference between the mains phase-L1 and the genset phase-
L1 voltages to close both contactors. If voltage transformer is used, this quantity is
multiplied with voltage transformer ratio.
Max Phase Difference This is the maximum phase angle between the mains phase-L1 and the genset phase-
L1 voltages to close both contactors.

32. SOFTWARE FEATURES
32.1. 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 digital output 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.

It is also possible to control more complex external systems with multiple steps, using LOAD_ADD
and LOAD_SUBSTRACT output functions. Any digital output may be assigned to these signals.

When the load is above the Load Shedding High Limit, the controller will activate the Load Substract
output.

When the load is below the Load Shedding Low Limit, the controller will activate the Load Add output.

The external system will decrease the load until it goes below the high limit, where the
Load Substract output will become inactive.
There are protection delays between two pulses.

The parameters used in Load Shedding feature are in the Electrical Parameters Group:
Load Shedding Low Limit: If the genset power goes below this limit then the load shedding relay will
be deactivated.
Load Shedding High Limit: If the genset power goes above this limit then the load shedding relay will
be activated.

t1: the load goes below the Load Shedding Low Limit, thus the Load Shedding output becomes inactive.
t2: the load goes above the Load Shedding High Limit, thus the Load Shedding output becomes active.
t3: the load goes below the Load Shedding Low Limit, thus the Load Shedding output becomes inactive.

124 TJ 509T-V.112013
32.2. LOAD ADD / SUBSTRACT
The load add/substract output functions are designed to provide control signals for an external, multi-
step load adding/substracting system.
This external system will add either linearly or by small steps a dummy load that will prevent the genset
from running below the minimum required load level.
The same function may be used in order to supply loads of different priority levels following the available
genset capacity.
When the load is below the Load Shedding Low Limit, the controller will activate the Load Add output.
The external system will increase the load until it goes over the low limit, where the Load Add output
will become inactive.
When the load is above the Load Shedding High Limit, the controller will activate the Load Substract
output. The external system will decrease the load until it goes below the high limit, where the Load
Substract output will become inactive.
There are protection delays between two pulses.
The parameters used in Load Shedding feature are in the Electrical Parameters Group:
Load Shedding Low Limit: If the genset power goes below this limit then the load shedding relay will
be deactivated.
Load Shedding High Limit: If the genset power goes above this limit then the load shedding relay will
be activated.
Load Add Delay: This is the minimum delay between 2 load_add pulses. This is also the minimum
delay between 2 load_substract pulses.
Load Subtract-Add Delay: This is the minimum delay between load_add and load_substract pulses.

t1: the load goes below the Load Shedding Low Limit, thus the Load Add output becomes active.
t2: the load goes above the Load Shedding Low Limit, thus the Load Add output becomes inactive.
t3: the load goes above the Load Shedding High Limit, thus the Load Substract output becomes active.
t4: the load goes below the Load Shedding High Limit, thus the Load Substract output becomes
inactive.
t5: the load goes below the Load Shedding Low Limit, but the Load Substract-Add delay is not expired.
The controller waits until expiration of the timer.
t6: the timer is expired and the load is still below the Load Shedding Low Limit, the Load Add output
becomes active.
t7: the load goes above the Load Shedding Low Limit, thus the Load Add output becomes inactive.

32.3. FIVE STEP LOAD MANAGEMENT

The controller is able to manage the supply of up to 5 prioritized loads. The loads are supplied starting
from the number #1 (highest priority) and unloaded from the highest number (lowest priority)
available.

TJ 509T-V.112013 125
Protection timers help to stabilizing the decision algorithm and preventing unwanted multiple opera-
tions.
When the load is below the Multi Load Add Power Level during Multi Load Add Start Delay, then 1
step of load is added. The minimum wait period between two load_adds is Multi Load Add Wait
Delay.
When the load is above the Multi Load Substract Power Level during Multi Load Substract Start
Delay, then 1 step of load is unloaded. The minimum wait period between two load_substracts is
Multi Load Substract Wait Delay.
The parameters used in Load Shedding feature are in the Electrical Parameters Group:
Multi Load Substract Power Level: When the genset active power goes over this limit, the control-
ler will start substracting load as described in chapter Five Step Load Management.
Multi Load Add Power Level: When the genset active power goes below this limit, the controller will
start adding load as described in chapter Five Step Load Management.
Multi Load Substract Start Delay: If the load stays over the Multi Load Substract Power Level
parameter during this timer, then 1 step of load is substracted.
Multi Load Substract Wait Delay: This is the minimum period between two load subtract opera-
tions.
Multi Load Add Start Delay: If the load stays below the Multi Load Add Power Level parameter
during this timer, then 1 step of load is added.
Multi Load Add Wait Delay: This is the minimum period between two load addt operations.

t1: the load goes below the Multi Load Add Power Level.
t2: after Multi Load Add Start Delay the load is still below Multi Load Add Power Level, the Load_
Add_1 becomes active.
t3: after Multi Load Add Start Delay and Multi Load Add Wait Delay, the load is still below Multi Load
Add Power Level, thus Load_Add_2 becomes active.
t4: the load goes above the Multi Load Substract Power Level.
t5: after Multi Load Substract Start Delay, the load is still above Multi Load Substract Power Level,
thus the Load_Add_2 becomes inactive and the Load_Substract_2 becomes active for 3 seconds
(fixed delay).
t6: the load goes above the Multi Load Substract Power Level.
t7: after Multi Load Substract Start Delay, the load is still above Multi Load Substract Power Level,
thus the Load_Add_2 becomes inactive and the Load_Substract_1 becomes active for 3 seconds
(fixed delay).

32.4. 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

126 TJ 509T-V.112013
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.
When a Remote Start input is defined, the mains phases are not monitored. When the Remote Start
signal is present then the mains will be supposed to fail, inversely when the Remote Start signal is
absent then mains voltages will be supposed to be present.
The front panels mimic diagram’s mains LEDs will always reflect the status of the Remote Start input.

32.5. DISABLE AUTO START, SIMULATE MAINS

The unit offers an optional Disable Auto Start signal input. Any digital input may be assigned as Dis-
able Auto Start 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 Disable Auto Start 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 Disable Auto Start 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 Disable Auto Start signal is pre-
sent, 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 DISABLE AUTO

START and FORCE TO START operations.

32.6. BATTERY CHARGING OPERATION, DELAYED SIMULATE MAINS

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 Disable Auto Start signal for the genset control unit.

The unit offers an optional Disable Auto Start 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 Disable Auto Start 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

TJ 509T-V.112013 127
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 On 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 Disable Auto Start

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

32.7. 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 On Timer and Flashing Relay
Off Timer program parameters. 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 On/Off Timers.
Each time the period programmed using Flashing Relay Timer elapses, the relay output will change
position.
The flashing relay function may be assigned to any digital output using Output Configuration pro-
gram parameters.
The dual genset intermittent operation uses also the Disable Auto Start feature. Please review
related chapter 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 nega-
tive. 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 ap-
plied, 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.

32.8. MULTIPLE VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY
The unit offers 3 sets of voltage and frequency protection limit values. The user is allowed to switch
between these 3 sets anytime.
This feature is especially useful in dual voltage or frequency gensets for easy switching between 2
operating conditions.

The switching to the second or third set of limit values can be done via digital input signal.

If switching is done with digital input signal, one of digital inputs has to be defined as “2nd Volt-Freq
Select” using “INPUT FUNCTION SELECT“program group.

Below parameters are available for second voltage-frequency selection:

Nominal Voltage
Nominal Frequency
Nominal RPM
Genset Overcurrent Limit

37.9. SINGLE PHASE OPERATION

If the unit is used in a single phase electrical network, it is advised to select the topology as Single
Phase 2 Wires.
When the topology is set to Single Phase 2 Wires, then the unit will measure electrical parameters
only on phases L1 of genset and mains.
Voltage and overcurrent checks will be performed on phases L1 only.
Phases L2 and L3 parameters, as well as phase-to-phase voltages are removed from display screens.

37.10. EXTERNAL CONTROL OF THE UNIT

The unit offers total external control through programmable digital inputs. Any digital input may be
programmed for below functions:

- Force STOP mode

- Force AUTO mode
- Force TEST mode
- Disable Auto Start
- Force to Start
- Fault Reset
- Alarm Mute
- Panel Lock

External mode select signals have priority on mode buttons of the unit. If the mode is selected by
external signal, it is impossible to change this mode with front panel pushbuttons. However if the
external mode select signal is removed, the unit will revert to the last selected mode via pushbuttons.
It is also possible to lock the front panel completely for remote command.

37.11. AUTOMATIC EXERCISER
The unit offers 7 independent automatic exercisers. The exercise operation may be done on a weekly
or monthly basis.
The start day and time of the exercise is programmable as well as its duration. The exercise may be
done with or without load following programming.

Program parameters related to the exerciser are:

Exercise start day and hour
Exercise duration
Exercise off_load/on_load

Please refer to the programming section for a more detailed description of the above parameters.
When the start day and hour of exercise has come, the unit will automatically switch to either RUN
or TEST mode. The engine will run. If the on_load exercise is selected then the load will be trans-
ferred to the genset.
If a mains failure occurs during the off-load exercise, the load will not be transferred to the genset
unless the Emergency Backup Operation is allowed by setting the related program parameter to 1.
Thus it is highly recommended that the Emergency Backup mode enabled with off-load exerciser.
At the end of the exercise duration, the unit will switch back to the initial mode of operation.
If any of the mode selection keys are pressed during exercise, then the exercise will be immediately
terminated.
Using the weekly exercise mode and with suitable parameter setting, the unit may feed the load from
the genset during predefined hours of each day. This operation may be used in high tariff periods of
the day.

37.12. WEEKLY OPERATION SCHEDULER

In most applications, the genset is requested to operate only in working hours. Thanks to the weekly
program feature, unwanted operation of the genset may be prohibited.
The scheduler is active only in AUTO mode. When the scheduler prevents genset operation in AUTO
mode, the AUTO led will flash.

When the scheduler prevents genset operation in

AUTO mode, the AUTO led will flash.

The scheduler consists of 144 programmable parameters, one for each hour in a week. Thus every
hour of the week may be independently selected as ON or OFF times.
These programmable parameters allow the genset to operate automatically only in allowed time
limits.
The unit has a battery backed-up precision real time clock circuit. The real time clock circuit will
continue its operation even in power failures. The real time clock is precisely trimmed using the Real
Time Clock Adjust program parameter. For more details check the programming section.

37.13. 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.

37.14. ENGINE IDLE SPEED OPERATİON

It may be required that the engine runs at the idle speed for a programmed duration for engine heat-
ing. 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 digital output may be assigned as IDLE output using Relay Definition program parameters.
The Idle speed operation is performed both in engine start-up and cool-down sequences. Low speed
and low voltage protections are disabled during idle speed operation.

37.15. ENGINE BLOCK HEATER

The unit is able to provide a digital output in order to drive the block heater resistor. The temperature
reference is the coolant temperature measured from the analog sender input.
The block heater output function may be assigned to any digital output using Relay Definition pro-
gram parameters.
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 Tempera-
ture.

TJ 509T-V.112013 131
37.16. FUEL PUMP CONTROL
The unit is able to provide a digital output function 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 output function will become active.
When the fuel level reaches Fuel Pump High Limit parameter, the output function will become pas-
sive. 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 any digital output using Relay Definition program
parameters.

37.17. 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 crank-
ing 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 any digital output using Relay Definition
program parameters.

37.18. PRE-TRANSFER SIGNAL

The controller is able to provide a pre-transfer digital output function.
This function is designed for elevator systems, in order to bring the cabin to a floor and open cabin
doors before transfer.
The duration where this output is active is adjusted with the Pre-Transfer Delay parameter.

If the Pre-transfer Delay parameter is not zero, this will delay

transfers by the same amount.

 37.19. CHARGING THE ENGINE BATTERY
The controller offers an automatic charge cycle for the engine battery.
When the engine battery weakens, the genset will run automatically during programmed period in
an unloaded state in order to charge the engine battery, protecting it from total discharge when the
genset has not run for a long time.
Related parameters:
Battery Charge Run Voltage: If this parameter is different from zero and the engine battery voltage
falls below this limit then the controller will run the engine unloaded, in order to charge engine battery.
The running duration is determined by the Battery Charge Run Timer parameter.
Battery Charge Run Timer: This parameter determines the engine battery charge running duration.
The minimum run time is 2 minutes.
Emergency Backup: If this parameter if activated and the mains fails during engine battery charging
run, then the genset will take the load.

37.20. EXTERNALLY CONTROLLED DIGITAL OUTPUTS

The controller offers 16 externally controllable digital output functions.

These output functions have no effect in the operation of the unit; however they can be redirected to
any digital output, allowing remote control of functions or external devices.
The remote control of these outputs are enabled through Modbus, Modbus TCP/IP and Rainbow
Scada remote control functions.
The outputs are in 16 bits of the same Modbus register, placed at address 11559d.

Output statuses are kept in a non-volatile memory and are not

affected by power failures.

Please review the Modbus manual for more details.

37.21. COMBAT MODE

The controller offers a combat mode input function.
When a digital input is defined as Combat Mode and signal applied to this input, the controller will
turn off all led lamps and the backlight illumination 10 seconds after any key is pressed.
When a button is pressed, the illumination will be enabled for 10 seconds.

 44. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Below is a basic list of most often encountered

troubles. More detailed investigation may be
required in some cases.

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 on the screen.
-Upper and lower limits of the mains voltages may be too tight. Check the parameters Mains Volt-
age 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 +/- 2 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 cos Φ 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. Please review chapter “AC
CURRENT INPUTS”
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.

Short circuit outputs of unused Current Transformers.

TJ 509T-V.112013 135
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 every-
thing 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 15 volts. The
unit removes starting with the generator frequency, and needs at least 15 volts to measure the
frequency.
-The unit is also able to cut cranking from charge alternator voltage and oil pressure input. Please
read chapter “CRANK CUTTING”
The unit is inoperative:
Measure the DC-supply voltage between terminals BAT+ and BAT- at the rear of the unit. If OK,
turn all fuses off, then turn all the fuses on, starting from the DC supply fuse. Then test the unit
again.
Programming mode can not be entered:
The program lock input disables programming mode entry. Disconnect the program lock input
from battery negative before modification. Do not forget to make this connection again to prevent
unauthorized program modifications.
Some program parameters are skipped:
These parameters are reserved for factory setting and cannot be modified.
AUTO led flashes and the genset does not run when mains fail:
The unit is in Weekly Schedule OFF time. Please check date and time setting of the unit. Please
check also Weekly Schedule program parameters.
The genset runs but does not take the load:
Check that the genset Yellow led is on steadily. Adjust genset voltage and frequency limits if
necessary.
Check that the digital output-8 is configured as “Genset Contactor”
Check “Genset Contactor Timer” program parameter.
Check that a Genset Loading Inhibit input signal is not active. Check input functions. If an input is
configured as “Genset Loading Inhibit” then check the signal is not present at this input.
