Oil Pressure Switch
A digital normally open or closed oil pressure switch gives this input. It
allows oil pressure protection using the switch and the analogue input to
be used in parallel to give protection or to be used for oil pressure
indication only.
Remote Start off load
If this input is active, operation will be similar to the ‘Remote Start on
load’ function except that the generator will not be instructed to take the
load. This function can be used where an engine only run is required
e.g. for exercise.
Remote Start on load When in auto mode, the module will perform the start sequence and
transfer load to the generator.
In Manual mode, the load will be transferred to the generator if the
engine is already running, however in manual mode; this input will not
generate start/stop requests of the engine.
Remote Start On Load Demand
If this input is active, the load demand start up and shut down scheme
will be activated when two or more generators are running in parallel.
On application, all sets will start a race for the bus. The first available
set will close onto the dead bus and the others will synchronise to it.
Once the sets are on load they will compare load levels and redundant
sets will commence a shutdown sequence and return to standby until
the load level is such that they are required.
Reset Maintenance Alarm 1-3
These inputs are used to reset the maintenance alarms. When
activated it will reset the maintenance counter to the pre-configured
value (i.e. 250 hours). If the maintenance alarm is configured to monitor
the monthly service interval this will also be reset to the pre-configured
period (i.e. 6 Months).
Simulate Auto Button
NOTE: - If a call to start is present when AUTO MODE is entered,
the starting sequence will begin. Call to Start can come from a number
of sources depending upon module type and configuration and includes
(but is not limited to) : Remote start input present, Mains failure,
Scheduled run, Auxiliary mains failure input present, Telemetry start
signal from remote locations.
This input mimic’s the operation of the ‘Auto’ button and is used to
provide a remotely located Auto mode push button.
Simulate Lamp test \ Alarm
Mute Button
This input is used to provide a test facility for the front panel indicators
fitted to the module. When the input is activated all LED’s should
illuminate. The input also serves a second function, in that it also
provides a mute signal to silence the audible alarm. The input is
recognised by the module as though it was the Push button on the
module itself being operated.
Simulate Mains available
This function is provided to override the module’s internal monitoring
function. If this input is active, the module will not respond to the state of
the incoming AC mains supply.
Simulate Manual Button
This input mimic’s the operation of the ‘Manual’ button and is used to
provide a remotely located Manual mode push button.
Simulate Start Button
This input mimic’s the operation of the ‘Start’ button and is used to
provide a remotely located start push button.
Simulate Stop Button
This input mimic’s the operation of the ‘Stop’ button and is used to
provide a remotely located stop/reset push button.
Simulate Test on load button
This input mimics the operation of the ‘Test’ button and is used to
provide a remotely located Test on load mode push button.
