GCU-3000 3
SECTION 1 : INTRODUCTION
The GCU-3000 is an integrated modular Automatic
Generator Control & Protection unit with the largest
LCD screen in the market. It is suitable for use on all
conventional generator applications. The module uses
easy to recognize icons and powerful software to
protect the generators. The GCU-3000 makes the
complicated simple by providing an easy to install and
easy to Program Generator Controller.
To simplify installation you can program the GCU
directly from the front panel without complicated
computer setup. After programming, all the new
settings are recorded into the internal (EEPROM) and
protected from erasure.
The main advantages of using the GCU-3000 are：
● Integrated design including an emergency stop
button, AVR control, fuses, and positive outputs
● Large easy to see LCD screen
● Programmable start cycles
● Programmable idle speed timer
● Programmable cool down timer
● Maintenance notifications
● Engine block heater control
● Digital temperature sensor included
● High precision oil pressure sensor included
● Full monitoring and protection
LCD information includes the following：
● Full phase AC voltage monitoring
● Full phase AC line voltage monitoring
● Full phase load current monitoring
● KVA output
● Frequency
● Hour Meter
● Battery voltage Indicator
● Oil pressure readings in Psi or Bar
● Temperature in C or F
● Universal Failure Warning icons
The module includes a front panel emergency stop
button and a built in potentiometer (VR) to adjust the
Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVR) directly from the
front panel. It also comes with all AC and DC fuses and
relays for quick installation and operation.
When a generator failure occurs, the built in warning
buzzer and LCD graphic display, gives you the reasons
for the warnings instantly. In addition, it provides a
remote failure-warning signal to the control room; to
also notify the maintenance personnel. It also
incorporates a Failure Event Log program, which
records the previous 15 failures; then you can read the
log directly from the front panel screen.
The Engine Block Heater control is also integrated into
the GCU using its build in digital temperature sensor.
The generator is then able to maintain smooth and
good starts in the coldest weather.
Maintenance personnel can obtain; Engine
Temperature, Battery voltage and hours of operation at
any time by pressing the Mute Button. Even with the
engine off.
GCU Monitoring and Protects：
● High engine temperature protection
● Low oil pressure protection
● Over & Under speed protection
● Full phase AC over & Under voltage and loss of
phase monitoring
● Full phase load current monitoring
● Battery over & under voltage monitoring
● Low Fuel Level Monitoring
● Temperature & Pressure Sensor Failure
● Magnetic Pick-up (MPU) Failure
The GCU also reserves two extra inputs for future
expansion.
