Commissioning
DANGER - HIGH VOLTAGE
When commissioning the control, please observe all safety rules that apply to the handling of live
equipment. Ensure that you know how to provide first aid in the event of an uncontrolled release of
energy and that you know where the first aid kit and the nearest telephone are. Never touch any live
components of the system or on the back of the system:

WARNING
Only a qualified technician may commission the unit. The "EMERGENCY-STOP" function must be op-
erational prior to commissioning of the system and must not depend on the unit for its operation.
WARNING
A discrete Input assigned to an "Emergency Stop" function is only a signaling input. This input may
only be used to signal that an external emergency stop button has been actuated. According to EN
60204, this input is not
approved to be used as the emergency stop function. The emergency stop func-
tion must be implemented external to the control and cannot rely on the control to function properly.
CAUTION
Prior to commissioning ensure that all measuring devices are connected in correct phase sequence.
The connect command for the unit circuit breaker must be disconnected at the unit circuit breaker. The
field rotation must be monitored for proper rotation. Any absence of or incorrect connection of voltage
measuring devices or other signals may lead to malfunctions and damage the unit, the engine, and/or
components connected to the unit!
Commissioning Procedure:
1. After wiring the unit and ensuring all voltage-measuring devices are phased correctly, apply the control
system voltage (i.e. 12/24 Vdc). The "Operation" LED will illuminate.
2. Simultaneously pressing the "Digit↑" and "Cursor→" buttons will enable the configuration mode. After
entering the proper access code number, the unit may be configured according to the application require-
ments (refer to the parameters section).
3. After applying the measuring variables, the unit will display the measured values. These values should be
confirmed with a calibrated measuring instrument.
4. The initial start of the engine should be performed in the MANUAL operation mode (press the "MA-
NUAL" button). Start the engine ("START" button) and then stop it ("STOP" button). All generator-
measured values must be checked. Any alarm messages should be investigated as well.
5. Check the automatic start sequence by means of the TEST operation mode (press the "TEST" push-
button). Test the protections that result in alarms with shutdowns.
