6.2 CONTROL PUSH-BUTTONS
STOP/RESET
This push-button places the module into its Stop/reset mode. This will clear any alarm
conditions for which the triggering criteria have been removed. If the engine is running
and this push-button is operated, the module will automatically instruct the generator
contactor/breaker to unload the generator. The fuel supply will be removed and engine
will be brought to a standstill. Should a remote start signal be present while
operating in the mode, a remote start will not occur.
MANUAL
This push-button is used to allow manual control of the generator functions. Entering
this mode from another mode will initially not cause any change of operating state, but
allows further push-buttons to be used to control the generator operation. For
example, once in Manual mode it is possible to start the engine by using the ‘START’
push-button. If the engine is running, off-load in the Manual mode and a remote
start signal becomes present, the module will automatically instruct the generator
contactor/breaker device to place the generator on load. Should the remote start
signal then be removed the generator will remain on load until either the
‘STOP/RESET’ or ‘AUTO’ push-buttons are operated.
START
This push-button is used to start the engine. The module must first be placed in the
‘MANUAL’ mode of operation. The ‘START’ button should then be operated. The
engine will then automatically attempt to start. Should it fail on the first attempt it will
re-try until either the engine fires or the pre-set number of attempts have been made.
To stop the engine the ‘STOP/RESET’ button should be operated. It is also possible
to configure the module such that the start push-button must be held to maintain
engine cranking.
NOTE:- Different modes of operation are possible - Please refer to your configuration
source for details.
AUTO
This push-button places the module into its ‘Automatic’ mode. This mode allows the
module to control the function of the generator automatically. The module will monitor
the remote start input and once a start condition is signalled the set will be
automatically started and placed on load. If the starting signal is removed, the module
will automatically transfer the load from the generator and shut the set down observing
the stop delay timer and cooling timer as necessary. The module will then await the
next start event. For further details, please see the more detailed description of ‘Auto
Operation’ earlier in this manual.
Mute / Lamp Test
This button silences the audible alarm if it is sounding and illuminates all of the LEDs
as a lamp test feature.
