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.
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.
