Binary input: PrestartBypass 
Use this input to bypass the prestart phase of the start-up procedure and activate 
the Starter output immediately after start command has been issued. 
This input is typically used to skip preglowing of the engine when the engine is 
already warm. A built-in PLC module Comparator with hysteresis attached to the 
engine temperature value can be used to provide the "engine warm" binary signal, 
which is then internally configured onto this logical binary input. 
 
Binary input: Startblocking 
Engine start is disabled while this input is active. NotReady state is displayed on 
the controller main screen and the message Start blocking is displayed in the 
Alarmlist. 
Use this input to disable temporarily the genset to be started e.g. from an higher-
level automation device such as PLC. 
NOTE:  
The genset will not be stopped if the input is activated while the genset is running. 
 
 
Binary input: Sd override 
If the input is closed, all 2nd level protections are overriden to allow engine run in 
an emergency situation, e.g. when the gen-set works as a power supply for fire 
extinguishing equipment. 
All protections are displayed in Alarmlist and recorded into history, however the 
controller leaves the gen-set in operation. If there are any protections still active or 
not reset in the moment when the input is deactivated, the controller will react to 
them in a standard way. 
Following protections are not overriden by this input: 
  Emergency stop 
  Overspeed 
  Underspeed (only if Fuel solenoid = GAS ENGINE)  
  Binary and analog protections configured as Sd override type. In fact this 
protection type means "Unoverridable shutdown", i.e. it works the same 
way as standard shutdown protection, however it can not be overriden 
(blocked) by the Sd override input.  
 
Binary input: GCB disable 
The input is used to disable issuing the GCB closing command. 
  If the input is active during synchronizing, the controller will keep the 
genset synchronized without issuing the GCB closing command until the 
input is deactivated or Sync timeout is elapsed.
