057-015 5510 OPERATING MANUAL ISSUE 11 07/07/09 AM 45
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.
ALARM MUTE
This push-button is used to silence the internal alarm sounder and also any
external sounder devices fed from the audible alarm output. Any further
alarm conditions will reactivate the sounder. Once the alarm has been
muted and investigated, it may then be cleared.
Refer to the ‘Protections’ section of this manual for details.
When the Alarm Mute is operated a Lamp test function will also be
implemented and all LED indicators will be illuminated.
OPEN GENERATOR
This push button is used to control the opening of the generator load
switching device :
1. Pressing this button when the generator is running on load, and in
MANUAL mode, the generator load switch is opened. Further presses
of this button will have no effect.
NOTE:- This button is only active in MANUAL mode.
CLOSE GENERATOR
This push button is used to control the closure of the generator load
switching device and has two modes of operation :
1. Synchronising is NOT enabled. Pressing this button when the
generator is running off load and in MANUAL mode, the generator load
switch is closed. Further presses of this button will have no effect.
2. Synchronising is enabled. Pressing this button when the generator is
running and in MANUAL mode, the 5510 controller, will volts match and
synchronise with the Bus. The generator load switch is then closed in
parallel with the Bus.
NOTE:- This button is only active in MANUAL mode.
NOTE:- If the bus is live when the manual button is pressed,
synchronising will take place before the load switch is closed.
