The unit provides for automatic transfer of a load from mains to generator in the event of a
mains failure. Intended for unattended operation, it is able to detect failure of any phase of the
mains and to start and switch over to a generator if the mains voltage goes outside pre-set
limits. Both automatic and manual control is possible. A test mode is also available which
allows the generator to be run without taking the load.
The unit has Dual Working feature. In the event of a mains failure, group with high priority
starts and takes the load. If both groups has no priority, the group with less working hour will
start and take the load. To use Dual Working feature Dual Set expansion module must be
used.
The unit calculates engine RPM from Magnetic Pickup sensor input (MPU) and/or generator
voltage signal.
The unit monitors J1939 ECU messages and provides remote start/stop control via J1939
protocol (supported ECUs: Volvo EMS2, Volvo EDC4, Perkins, Scania S6, MAN MFR and
standard messages).
The unit is extensively programmable through the front panel, with password protection on two
levels. Operational parameters can also be monitored and controlled from a PC via a built-in USB
communication port.
