7.6 Controller Replacement
7.6.1 Introduction
Use the following procedure to install the replacement
controller. See Figure 7-4 for typical controller
identification. For features and operation of the
controller, see the operation manual in the literature kit.
Note: Do not use this controller replacement procedure
for upgrading software.

When replacing the controller, the personality profile
must be installed in order for the controller to function.
The replacement controller does not include the
personality profile file installed on the generator set
controller at the factory. The service technician must
install the personality profile on the replacement
controller.
D Application program contains the firmware that
controls system operation. The application file is
preprogrammed on the replacement controller at the
factory.
Note: The application program is not backwards
compatible. Do not attempt to load an application
program that is an older version than the
application program version already installed.
D Personality profile is specific to the engine and
alternator and is not preprogrammed on the
generator set controller at the factory.
A backup disk/drive of the personality profile and
application program is supplied with the literature
packet shipped with the generator set. Typically, the
distributor stores this disk/drive for possible future
use such as controller replacement or other
circumstances requiring a backup.
Note: If the personality profile disk/drive is NOT
available, request a replacement from the
manufacturer using the generator set serial
number or order number.
D User parameters unique to an installation include
timer values, setpoints, generator set data such as
kW and voltage, and input/output selections. These
parameters are typically set up for or by the installer at
the time of installation. Created user parameters are
typically documented and stored on the personality
profile disk/drive, a separate backup disk/drive, or
written in the User-Defined Settings appendix in the
controller operation manual. A copy of the
User-Defined Settings form is included in Section
7.6.3.
Note: If the user parameters are included on the
personality disk/drive, the disk/drive label should
indicate Site Program—Yes.
Read the entire installation procedure and perform the
steps in the order shown. Always observe applicable
local and national electrical codes.
Note: The following procedure changes only the
controller. If the generator set requires voltage
reconnection and/or frequency adjustment, see
the controller operation manual.
7.6.2 Replacement Procedure
1. Acquire the User Parameters
a. Choose one of the following methods to
retrieve the user parameters:
D Backup disk/drive. If a backup disk/drive
was previously made, obtain the parameters
from this disk/drive. If a disk/drive was not
previously made, create a backup if possible
using the SiteTecht software. The existing
controller must function in order to create the
file.
D Paper form. Parameters may have been
previously recorded on the User-Defined
Settings form located in the appendix of the
Decision-Makerr 6000 Controller Operation
Manual or other similar form.
D Controller menu. Manually review the
controller menu displays if possible and
enter the parameter information in the
Decision-Makerr 6000 Controller Operation
Manual appendix, Programmer- Defined
Settings form.
b. Save the user parameter data for step a.
