6.3 AUTOMATIC MODE
NOTE: If a digital input configured to external panel lock is active, changing module
modes is not possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock.
Auto Mode is activated by pressing the Auto Mode
button.
The Auto Mode
icon is displayed to indicate Auto Mode operations if no alarms are present.
Auto mode allows the generator to operate fully automatically, starting and stopping as required with
no user intervention.
6.3.1 WAITING IN AUTO MODE
If a starting request is made, the starting sequence begins.
Starting requests can be from the following sources :
• Activation of an auxiliary input that has been configured to remote start
• Activation of the inbuilt exercise scheduler.
6.3.2 STARTING SEQUENCE
To allow for ‘false’ start requests, the start delay timer begins.
Should all start requests be removed during the start delay timer, the unit returns to a stand-by state.
If a start request is still present at the end of the start delay timer, the fuel relay is energised and the
engine is cranked.
NOTE: If the unit has been configured for CAN, compatible ECU’s receive the start
command via CAN and transmit the engine speed to the DSE controller.
If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt then the starter motor is disengaged for the
crank rest duration after which the next start attempt is made. Should this sequence continue beyond
the set number of attempts, the start sequence is terminated and the display shows
Fail to Start.
6.3.3 ENGINE RUNNING
Once the engine is running and all starting timers have expired, the animated Engine
Running
icon is displayed
.
The generator is placed on load if configured to do so.
NOTE: The load transfer signal remains inactive until the Oil Pressure has risen. This
prevents excessive wear on the engine.
If all start requests are removed, the stopping sequence will begin.
