DKG-329 User Manual V-12 (09.10.2012)
DKG-329 AUTOMATIC
TRANSFER SWITCH
CONTROLLER
WITH UNINTERRUPTED TRANSFER AND MULTIPLE GENSET SUPPORT
The DKG-329 is microprocessor controlled unit
designed to monitor 3-phase mains voltages, send
remote start command to generating sets and
control the changeover of generator and mains
contactors.
The unit offers an internal synchroscope for
uninterrupted transfer in both directions. The
number of gensets to run before transfer is
selectable, allowing multiple genset support.
If a fault condition occurs, the unit disables the
remote starting automatically and indicates the
failure with the corresponding led lamp and text.
The unit provides a comprehensive set of digitally
adjustable program parameters. The unauthorized
access to program parameters is prevented by a 3
level password system. All programs may be
modified via front panel pushbuttons and do not
require any external unit.
Last 100 faults are stored in the event log file. The
event log includes not only the date-time
information, but also a comprehensive list of
measured parameters at the time that the fault has
occurred.
The WINDOWS based RAINBOW program
allows remote monitoring and control.
The unit supports MODBUS protocol enabling
communication with PLCs and building
management systems. The MODBUS protocol is
also supported through GSM and PSTN
modems.

Summary

DKG-329 Automatic Transfer Switch Controller

Description

Microprocessor controlled unit for monitoring 3-phase mains, sending remote start, and controlling generator/mains contactors.

Features

Includes True RMS, Synchroscope, No break transfer, Multiple genset support, Load shedding, Event logging, Real-time clock, Exerciser, RS-232, Modem, MODBUS, and more.

Installation

Introduction to the Control Panel

Details the unit's function as a control and protection panel for monitoring mains and controlling generators.

Mounting the Unit

Provides instructions for panel mounting the unit on a flat, vertical surface.

Wiring the Unit

Inputs and Outputs

RS-232 Serial Port

Connector for serial data input/output for remote monitoring and programming.

Extension Connector

Intended for connecting output extension modules, providing additional programmable relay outputs.

Displays

LED Displays

Explains the function of 12 LEDs divided into three groups: Operating mode, Mimic diagram, and Warnings/alarms.

Display Navigation and Settings

Language Selection

Allows selection of display language from English, Turkish, or Chinese, or prompts at power-on.

Digital Display

Describes the graphical LCD display showing parameters, logo, alarm list, software version, and event records.

Alarms and Warnings

Alarm Types and Causes

Categorizes abnormal situations into ALARMS, LOAD_DUMPS, and WARNINGS, detailing their causes and effects.

Modes of Operation

OFF Mode

Stops the engine and energizes mains contactor if mains voltages are within limits.

AUTO Mode

Enables automatic transfer between mains and generator based on voltage status.

TEST Mode

Allows generator testing while mains are on or generator to run in backup mode.

LOAD TEST Mode

Tests the genset under load by transferring the load to the genset indefinitely.

Load Transfer Modes

Transfer with Interruption

Conventional load transfer method with a power interruption period defined by contactor timers.

No Break Transfer

Performs load transfer without power interruption by activating both contactors simultaneously.

Unit Features

Remote Start Operation

Allows starting the genset via a remote signal connected to a digital input.

Mains Simulation (Disable Start)

Simulates mains presence to prevent genset start, even during mains failure.

Advanced Features

Delayed Mains Simulation, Battery Charging

Used in telecom systems; genset runs only when battery voltage drops, then charges batteries.

Operational Indicators

Service Request Display

Indicates when periodic maintenance is due based on engine hours or time elapsed.

Engine Hour Meter

Features a non-erasable incremental meter to track total engine operating hours.

Date & Time Display

Provides the current date and time for verification purposes.

Communication Features

Software Version Display

Shows the unit's software version, displayed with date and time information.

Modem Connection

Enables the unit to make or answer modem calls for remote monitoring and control.

SMS Functionality

SMS Message Sending

Allows the unit to send SMS messages for alarms or status changes like mains failure/restoration.

Remote Operations

Remote Monitoring and Programming

Utilizes RAINBOW PC software via RS-232 for monitoring, recording, and programming unit parameters.

External Control of the Unit

Enables external control of operation modes and functions via programmable digital inputs.

Automation Features

Exerciser

Provides automatic genset exercise operation on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, with or without load.

Resuming to Factory Set Parameters

Details the button sequence to reset all programmable parameters to factory default values.

Load Management and Updates

Load Shedding; Dummy Load

Manages crucial loads by disconnecting them when genset power is limited, or connects a dummy load.

Firmware Update

Allows updating the unit's firmware in the field via RS-232 serial port using Rainbow software.

Pre-Transfer Signal

Provides a digital output function for elevator systems to open doors before load transfer.

Modbus Communication

Weekly Operation Schedule

Event Logging

Statistical Counters

Maintenance

Programming

Troubleshooting

Mains OK, Genset Continues to Operate

Addresses issues where the genset runs despite mains being OK, checking grounding, voltages, and limits.

AC Voltages or Frequency Incorrect

Troubleshoots inaccurate voltage/frequency readings by checking grounding, unit margin, charging alternator, or battery charger.

kW and Cos Readings Faulty

Identifies faulty kW/cos readings by checking current transformer connections, polarity, and unused CTs.

AUTO LED Flashes, Genset Not Running

Diagnoses why the genset doesn't run when mains fail, pointing to weekly schedule or date/time settings.

Unit Inoperative

Guides on troubleshooting a non-responsive unit by checking DC supply voltage and fuse sequence.
