Fuel Management
The SC200 can monitor the use of fuel by a standby generator.
► To set up fuel management
Connect a fuel level sensor to an analog input.
In DCTools/Web go to: Analog Inputs.
Configure the selected Analog Input and set Function to Fuel Level.
Go to: Control Processes > Generator Control and set Fuel Tank Volume.
The following information is available about fuel usage.
The volume of fuel in the generator's fuel tank.

The time and date the generator was last
refueled.
The amount of fuel added to the generator's fuel
tank during the last refuel.
The estimated time for which the generator
could continuously run based on the current fuel
level and historical fuel consumption.
The best current estimate of the date the fuel
tank will run dry if the current characteristics of
generator usage and fuel consumption do not
change. This is useful for installations that run
the generator regularly and with a reasonably
constant duty cycle.
The time remaining estimates will not be accurate if the generator has been replaced or if the
typical usage pattern has changed. If this happens, the fuel consumption history can be cleared
manually.
Clearing the fuel consumption history will cause the time remaining estimates to be inaccurate or
not available until enough information about the new generator has been collected.
► To clear the fuel consumption history
In DCTools/Web go to: Control Processes > Generator Control > Clear Fuel Consumption
History.
Smart Alarms based on System Value Sources can be used to configure alarms based on:
Fuel Level.
Generator Backup Time.
Fuel Remaining Time (this is the estimated Tank Empty Date).
See Smart Alarms on page 49 for details of how to set Smart Alarms.
