TP-6551 2/1416 Section 2 Operation
2.5.4 Power Modes
The ADC 2100 controller’s communication parameter
can be set for three different power modes:
Note: Consult a n authorized Kohler dealer/distributor
for parameter adjustments.
D Continuous power mode. The ADC 2100 is
powered continuously to allow communication with the
remote gauge at all times. In this configuration, use the
remote gauge for remote start and stop as well as
generator set monitoring. A battery charger is
recommended to maintain the battery.
Note: The controller is powered by the generator set
engine starting battery. Remote communications
require an active (powered-up) controller. Be
advised that the ADC consumes 250 mA when the
master switch is in the AUTO position. If you do
not plan to use your generator set for a long period
of time, Kohler recommends moving the master
switch to the OFF/RESET position (0 mA draw).
D One-hour power down mode. The ADC 2100
powers down after 1 hour of inactivity. In this mode,
use a remote start/stop switch or the generator set
master switch to activate the controller after it has
powered down. The r emote gauge is powered during
generator set crank and run only. In this
configuration, the drain on the battery is reduced but
the remote gauge cannot be used for remote
start/stop. Install a separate start/stop switch if
remote start/stop capability is required.
D 48-hour power down mode. If the ADC 2100 is not
configured for a CAN gauge, the controller will power
down after 48 hours of inactivity. If the generator set
has been started, the controller will power down
48 hours after the generator set stops.
2.5.5 Fault Shutdowns
The generator set shuts down automatically under the
fault conditions listed in Figure 2-5 and the controller
displays a fault code. The generator set cannot be
restarted until the fault condition is corrected and the
controller is reset. See Section 2.5.6 to reset the
controller after a fault shutdown. The controller resets
automatically after a battery voltage fault condition is
corrected.
Shutdown switches on the generator set automatically
reset when the problem is corrected. The high engine
temperature switch automatically resets when the
generator set cools. However, the fault does not clear
until the controller is reset.
The controller displays a fault code but the generator set
does not shut down under the conditions shown in
Figure 2-6.
