Configuring Genset Controller Using
Digital Display
A replacement controller must be configured to
match the genset. See shutdown due to INVALID
GENSET CONFIGURATION—CODE NO. 37
(p. 9-11). Also, the Digital Display hour meter
should be reset to match the master hour meter
(p. 5-5).
Setting Configuration: Stop the genset and then
press STOP 6 times to display the configuration
screen (Figure 2-9). Press NEXT to select Genset
Config. Press the up-down arrows [
], as neces-
sary, to increase or decrease the code number. The
configuration code number is marked on the genset
nameplate. Also see Table 2-1.
Press [
BACK] to save the selection and get back to
GEN STATUS.
Resetting Digital Display Hour Meter: Press
NEXT to select Set Hour Meter. Then press the up-
down arrows [
] to match the number of hours on
the master hour meter (p. 5-5).
Press [
BACK] to save the selection and get back to
GEN STATUS.
Configuring Genset Controller Using
Control Switch
Remove the insulating connectors from wiring har-
ness connectors CONFIG 1 and CONFIG 2 in the
control box and connect them together. This places
the control in configuration mode. (In configuration
mode the control will not start, prime or display
faults.)
In configuration mode the status lamp on the control
switch will blink the numeric configuration code, a
two-digit number. Each time START is pressed the
number will increase one unit. Each time STOP is
pressed the number will decrease one unit. Press
START or STOP, as necessary, to increase or de-
crease the code number. For example, the lamp
should blink as follows when configured for a
1-Phase, Model MDKBR genset (15):
blink — pause — blink-blink-blink-blink-blink —
long pause — repeat code
When configured properly, disconnect CONFIG 1
from CONFIG 2 and re-install the insulating connec-
tors that were removed from each connector.
