• Activation of an auxiliary input that has been configured to remote startActivation of the inbuilt exercise
scheduler.
Starting Sequence
To allow for `false' start requests, the start delay timer begins.
Should all start requests be removed during the start delay timer, the unit returns to a stand-by state.
If a start request is still present at the end of the start delay timer, the fuel relay is energised and the engine
is cranked.
If the unit has been configured for CAN, compatible ECU's receive the start command via CAN and transmit
the engine speed to the DSE controller.
If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt then the starter motor is disengaged for the crank rest
duration after which the next start attempt is made. Should this sequence continue beyond the set number of
attempts, the start sequence is terminated and the display shows Fail to Start.
Engine Running
Once the engine is running and all starting timers have expired, the animated `Engine Running' icon is
displayed. The generator is placed on load if configured to do so.
The load transfer signal remains inactive until the oil pressure has risen. This prevents excessive wear on the
engine.
If all start requests are removed, the stopping sequence will begin.
Stopping Sequence
The return delay timer operates to ensure that the starting request has been permanently removed and isn't
just a short term removal. Should another start request be made during the cooling down period, the set returns
on load.
If there are no starting requests at the end of the return delay timer, the load is removed from the generator
to the mains supply and the cooling timer is initiated.
The cooling timer allows the set to run off load and cool sufficiently before being stopped. This is particularly
important where turbo chargers are fitted to the engine.
After the cooling timer has expired, the set is stopped.
Manual/Start Mode
If a digital input configured to panel lock is active, changing module modes is not be possible. Viewing the
instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock.
Waiting In Manual Mode
To begin the starting sequence, press the Manual/Start Mode button. If `protected start' is disabled, the start
sequence begins immediately.
If `Protected Start' is enabled, the waiting in MANUAL mode icon is displayed and the LED above the MANUAL/
START mode button flashes to indicate `Waiting in MANUAL mode'.The MANUAL/START mode button must
be pressed once more to begin the start sequence.
Starting Sequence
There is no start delay in this mode of operation.
The fuel relay is energised and the engine is cranked.
