The running status detection has two purposes:
1. When the time delay period expires, all the alarms which have Enable selected to ‘Not run
status’ will be activated.
2. An output relay can be selected, if one is available. In that case, the settings output A and
output B must be set according to the desired relay. To avoid an unwanted display alarm,
‘RUN STATUS ALARM’, the function of this relay must be selected to ‘Limit’ function to
avoid the alarm when the engine starts. Notice that both output A and output B must have
the same settings, when the function of the relay is set only as limit switch.

The settings “start prepare”, “start ON time” and “start OFF time” are the
ich the start relay is activated.
The start prepare output can e.g. be used for prelubricating or preheating
start relay output is for activating the engine starter. The start sequence can be
activated manually by pressing the “START” push-button in Local (hand) mode.
If no output relay has been chosen as starter relay, the start and stop
sequences (cooling down) will be ignored, and the MEC 310 will only operate as
The * indicates parameters that can be changed via the push-buttons/display.
The tacho config. set point is used to deactivate the start relay. The number of
teeth is used to configure the tacho input. The tacho input m
0 teeth when not in use. The tacho input accepts magnetic pick-
connection) or NPN/PNP/charger generator W input. Refer to functional
description for information. Note that the frequency range for the tacho input is
10Hz to 10000Hz.
