LOW OIL PRESSURE: Set if a signal is detected at the Low Oil Pressure Switch input or the oil pressure value measured from the sender is below the programmed limit. Warning and alarm limits are separately programmable for the oil pressure sender input. This fault will be monitored with Holdoff Timer delay after the engine is running. Also if the oil pressure switch is open at the beginning of a start attempt, then the engine will not be started and the oil pressure alarm led will flash. When the oil pressure switch closes, normal operation will be resumed. HIGH TEMPERATURE: Set if a signal is detected at the High Temperature Switch input or the coolant temperature value measured from the sender is above the programmed limit. Warning and alarm limits are separately programmable for the temperature sender input. LOW TEMPERATURE (warning) : Set if the coolant temperature value measured from the sender is blow the Engine Heating Temperature limit. LOW SPEED / HIGH SPEED: Set if the generator frequency or rpm is outside programmed limits. These faults will be monitored with Holdoff Timer delay after the engine is running. Low and high limits for warning and alarm are separately programmable. Another high shutdown limit which is 12% above the high limit is always monitored and stops the engine immediately. START FAIL (alarm): Set if the engine is not running after programmed number of start attempts. STOP FAIL (warning): Set if the engine has not stopped before the expiration of the Stop Timer. ECU FAIL (warning): Set when an engine fault code is received from the ECU of the electronic engine. This fault will not cause an engine stop. If necessary, the engine will be stopped by the ECU. ECU FAIL (alarm): Set if no information has been received during 3 seconds from the ECU of the electronic engine. This fault condition is only controlled if fuel is on. OVERLOAD (load_dump): Set if at least one of the genset phase currents goes over the Overcurrent Limit for Overload Timer. If currents go below the limit before expiration of the timer then no alarm will be set. EXCESS POWER (load_dump): Set if the genset power (KW) supplied to the load goes over the Excess Power limit for Overload Timer. If the power goes below the limit before expiration of the timer then no alarm will be set. GENSET LOW VOLTAGE: Set if any of the generator phase voltages goes outside programmed limits for Overload Timer. This fault will be monitored with holdoff timer delay after the engine is running.

5. MODES OF OPERATION
The modes of operation are selected by pushing the front panel keys. Changing the operation mode while the genset is running will result into a behavior suitable for the new operating mode. For example, if the TEST mode is selected when genset is running at RUN mode, then the genset will take the load. STOP: In this mode, the mains contactor will be energized if mains phase voltages are within the programmed limits. The engine will be stopped. AUTO: It is used for genset and mains automatic transfer. If at least one of the mains phase voltages is outside limits, the mains contactor will be deactivated. The diesel will be started for programmed times after the preheat timer. When the engine runs, the crank relay will be immediately deactivated. The engine will run without load during engine heating period. After this, if alternator phase voltages and frequency are within limits, then the unit will wait for the generator contactor period and the generator contactor will be energized. When all the mains phase voltages are within the limits, the engine will continue to run for the mains waiting period. At the end of this period the generator contactor is deactivated and the mains contactor will be energized. If a cooldown period is given, the generator will continue to run during cooldown period. At the end of the period, the fuel solenoid will be de-energized and the diesel will stop. The unit will be ready for the next mains failure. If the operation of the genset is disabled by the weekly schedule, then the AUTO led will flash, and the operation of the genset will be as in the OFF mode. RUN: It is used to test the generator when the mains are on, or keep the generator running in the emergency backup mode. The operation of the generator is similar to the AUTO mode, but the mains contactor will not be deactivated if the mains are not off. If the mains are off, mains contactor will be deactivated and the generator contactor will be activated. When the mains are on again, a changeover to the mains will be made, but the engine will be kept running unless another mode is selected. To stop the engine, select AUTO or OFF mode. TEST: It is used to test the genset under load. Once this mode is selected, the engine will run and the load will be transferred to the genset. The genset will feed the load indefinitely unless another mode is selected.

The unit has both programmable engine hours and maintenance time limit. The engine hours is programmable with 50-hour steps, the time limit is programmable with 1 month steps. If any of the programmed values is zero, this means that the parameter will not be used. For example a maintenance period of 0 months indicates that the unit will request maintenance only based on engine hours, there will be no time limit. If the engine hours is also selected as 0 hours this will mean that the SERVICE REQUEST display will be inoperative. When the engine hours OR the time limit is over, the SERVICE REQUEST led (red) will start to flash and the service request relay function will be active. The service request relay function may be assigned to spare relays using Relay Definition program parameters. Also relays on an extension module may be assigned to this function.
To turn off the SERVICE REQUEST led, and reset the service period, press together the ALARM MUTE and LAMP TEST keys for 5 seconds.
The remaining engine hours and the remaining time limit are kept stored in a non-volatile memory and are not affected from power supply failures. The time and engine hours to service are displayed in the STATISTICAL COUNTERS menu.

If Modem Enable or SMS Enable or MODBUS Address parameters are different from zero, the local PC connection will not work.
Advised modems are DATAKOM types which are powered up from the same DC battery voltage than the unit. Most of other desktop modems with standard AT commands are also usable, but it is the users responsibility to provide an uninterrupted AC supply source to the modem. The necessary modem cable will be supplied by DATAKOM. Modem calls are always terminated by the central RAINBOW software. However the unit does not allow connection durations exceeding 2 minutes, and hangs up the modem when this period expires. The PC program used for remote monitoring and programming is the same RAINBOW software used for RS-232 connection. Please note that the modem operation is also compatible with the MODBUS communication. Thus the unit can iniate and receive calls to/from a MODBUS master station. Please review chapter_8 for more details on MODBUS communication.

If Modem Enable or SMS Enable or MODBUS Address parameters are different from zero, the local PC connection will not work.
When a fault condition occurs, the unit will compose an SMS message and will send it to up to 6 phone numbers. If modem is enabled, only 4 telephone numbers are available for SMS sending. The unit is also able to send SMS messages in below conditions, without creating a visible alarm or warning: Mains Fail, Mains Restored (enabled via SMS on Mains Change program parameter) Fuel Theft, Fuelling (enabled by setting the Fuel Consumption / Hour parameter to other than 0) If both modem and SMS are enabled, the unit will send SMS messages first and attempt modem connection afterwards. The maximum number of alarms transmitted in a SMS message is 4. This limitation is due to the maximum length of an SMS message which is 160 characters. A sample GSM SMS message is given below: DKGxxx <SITE-ID> STOP :LOW OIL PRESSURE SW. END OF ALARM LIST The first line of the message carries information about the unit type and the site identity string. This line is intended for the identification of the genset sending the SMS message. Each following line will give one fault information. The message will always be terminated by the END OF ALARM LIST string. When the message is sent, the existing alarms will be masked, causing the audible alarm relay to release and preventing consecutive GSM SMS messages. Any new upcoming alarm will result in a new GSM SMS message. The new message will indicate all existing alarms, even masked ones. The necessary GSM modem cable will be supplied by DATAKOM. This is the same cable as PSTN (land) modems.

6.17 Exerciser
The unit offers automatic exerciser operation. The exercise operation may be done on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. The start day and time of the exercise is programmable as well as its duration. The exercise may be done with or without load following programming. Program parameters related to the exerciser are: Exercise start day and hour Exercise duration Exercise off_load/on_load Exerciser Period (Daily / Weekly / Monthly) Please refer to the programming section for a more detailed description of the above parameters. When the start day and hour of exercise has come, the unit will automatically switch to either OFF_LOAD TEST or LOAD TEST mode. The engine will run and if the on_load exercise is selected then the load will be transferred to the genset. If a mains failure occurs during the off-load exercise, the load will not be transferred to the genset unless the Emergency Backup Operation is allowed by setting the related program parameter to 1. Thus it is highly recommended that the Emergency Backup mode enabled with offload exerciser. At the end of the exercise duration, the unit will switch back to the initial mode of operation. If any of the mode selection keys are pressed during exercise, then the exercise will be terminated. Using the daily exercise mode, the unit may feed the load from the genset during predefined hours of the day. This operation may be used in high tariff periods of the day.

Fact.Set Description This is the rated value of current transformers. 500 All transformers must have the same rating. The secondary of the transformer will be 5 Amps. If the current goes above this limit, during the period defined in Overload Timeout then a Overcurrent Load Dump alarm will be generated. 0 If this parameter is 0 then Overcurrent check is disabled. If the active power goes above this limit, during the period defined in Overload Timeout then an Excess Power Load Dump alarm will be 0 generated. If this parameter is 0 then Excess Power check is disabled. If one of the mains phases goes under this limit, it 170 means that the mains are off and it starts the transfer to the genset in AUTO mode. If one of the mains phases goes over this limit, it 270 means that the mains are off and it starts the transfer to the genset in AUTO mode. If the mains frequency goes under this limit, it 45 means that the mains are off and it starts the transfer to the genset in AUTO mode. If the mains frequency goes above this limit, it 55 means that the mains are off and it starts the transfer to the genset in AUTO mode. If one of the generator phase voltages goes under this limit when feeding the load, this will generate a 190 GENSET LOW VOLTAGE shutdown alarm and the engine will stop. If one of the generator phase voltages goes under 200 this limit when feeding the load, this will generate a GENSET LOW VOLTAGE warning. If one of the generator phase voltages goes above 250 this limit when feeding the load, this will generate a GENSET HIGH VOLTAGE warning. If one of the generator phase voltages goes over this limit when feeding the load, this will generate a 260 GENSET HIGH VOLTAGE alarm and the engine will stop. If the genset frequency goes under this limit, a GENSET LOW SPEED alarm is generated and the 30 engine stops. If the genset frequency goes under this limit, a 35 GENSET LOW SPEED warning is generated. If the genset frequency goes over this limit, a 54 GENSET HIGH SPEED warning is generated. If the genset frequency goes over this limit, a GENSET HIGH SPEED alarm is generated and the 55 engine stops. If the battery voltage falls below this limit, this will 9.0 generate a LOW BATTERY warning. If the battery voltage goes over this limit, this will 31.0 generate a HIGH BATTERY warning. If the battery voltage goes over this limit, this will generate a HIGH BATTERY shutdown alarm and 33.0 the engine will stop.

Fact.Set Description This parameter provides the mains and genset voltage limits with a hysteresis feature in order to prevent faulty decisions. For example, when the mains are present, the 8 mains voltage low limit will be used as the programmed low limit. When the mains fail, the low limit will be incremented by this value. It is advised to set this value to 8 volts. If it is requested that the engine runs without load until reaching a certain temperature, this parameter defines the temperature. 0 If the coolant temperature falls below this parameter, an Engine Low Temperature warning will occur. This parameter defines the delay after the engine 12 runs and before the fault monitoring is enabled. This is the period between the current or active power go over the limits and OVERCURRENT or EXCESS POWER Load Dump alarms occur. This is also the period between the frequency goes out of the limits and OVERSPEED or 5 UNDERSPEED alarms occur. This is also the period between the genset voltage goes out of the limits and HIGH VOLTAGE or LOW VOLTAGE alarms occur. This is the time between the mains fails and the fuel solenoid turns on before starting the genset. It 0 prevents unwanted genset operation in battery backed-up loads. This is the time after the fuel solenoid is energized and before the genset is started. During this 1 period the PREHEAT relay output is energized (if assigned by Relay Definitions) This is the control delay of CHOKE output. The choke output is activated together with the 5 crank output. It is released after this delay or when engine runs (whichever occurs first). The gas solenoid of the gas engine will be opened 5 after this delay during cranking. This is the maximum start period. Starting will be 10 automatically cancelled if the genset fires before the timer. This is the waiting period between two start 10 attempts. When the engine runs, the Idle output relay 0 function will be active during this timer. This is the period used for engine heating 4 following the program parameter. This is the time between the mains voltages 0.5 entered within the limits and the generator contactor is deactivated. This is the period that the generator runs for cooling 1.0 purpose after the load is transferred to mains.

Fact.Set Description This is the period after the mains contactor has 1 been deactivated and before the generator contactor has been activated. This is the period after the generator contactor has 1 been deactivated and before the mains contactor has been activated. This is the maximum time duration for the engine to stop. During this period the STOP relay output is energized (if assigned by Relay Definitions). If 10 the genset has not stopped after this period, a FAIL TO STOP warning occurs. 3 This is the maximum number of start attempts. 0: mains phase order checking disabled 1: if mains phase order is faulty, then a warning is 0 given and mains contactor deenergized. 0: genset phase order checking disabled 1: if genset phase order is faulty, then a loaddump 0 is generated and the genset stops after cooldown. This parameter is used in the conversion of the genset frequency to engine rpm. 1 0: read rpm from the optional MPU input 1: convert frequency to rpm (using crank teeth count) This is the number of pulses generated by the magnetic pickup sensing unit in one turn of the flywheel. 30 This parameter is also used in the conversion of the genset frequency to engine rpm. The frequency in Hz is multiplied with this parameter during conversion to rpm. If the engine speed goes under this limit, a GENSET LOW SPEED alarm is generated and the engine 0 stops. If the engine speed goes under this limit, a GENSET 0 LOW SPEED warning is generated. If the engine speed goes over this limit, a GENSET 0 HIGH SPEED warning is generated. If the engine speed goes over this limit, a GENSET HIGH SPEED alarm is generated and the engine 0 stops. This is the period during which the ALARM relay 60 is active. If the period is set to 0, this will mean that the period is unlimited. 0: continuous 0 1: intermittent (turns on and off every second) The SERVICE REQUEST led indicator will turn on after this quantity of engine hours from the last service. If the period is set to 0 no SERVICE 50 REQUEST will be generated depending on engine hours. The SERVICE REQUEST led indicator will turn on after this amount of time from the last service. If 6 the period is set to 0 no SERVICE REQUEST will be indicated depending on time.

14. TROUBLESHOOTING
The genset operates while AC mains are OK or continues to operate after AC mains are OK: -Check engine body grounding. -AC mains voltages may be outside programmed limits, measure the phase voltages. -Check the AC voltage readings by pressing the MENU button. -Upper and lower limits of the mains voltages may be too tight. Check the parameters Mains Voltage Low Limit and Mains Voltage High Limit. Standard values are 170/270 volts. -The hysteresis voltage may be given to excessive. The standard value is 8 volts.
AC voltages or frequency displayed on the unit are not correct: -Check engine body grounding, it is necessary. -The error margin of the unit is +/- 3 volts. -If there are faulty measurements only when the engine is running, there may be a faulty charging alternator or voltage regulator on the engine. Disconnect the charging alternator connection of the engine and check if the error is removed. -If there are faulty measurements only when mains are present, then the battery charger may be failed. Turn off the rectifier fuse and check again.
Phase-to-Phase AC voltages are not correct although Phase to Neutral voltages are correct: -Incorrect phase order. Please connect phase voltages in the correct order. KW and cos readings are faulty although the Amp readings are correct: -Current transformers are not connected to the correct inputs or some of the CTs are connected with reverse polarity. Determine the correct connections of each individual CT in order to obtain correct KW and cos for the related phase, and then connect all CTs. Short circuit the outputs of unused Current Transformers.
When the AC mains fails the unit energizes the fuel solenoid, but does not start and OIL PRESSURE EXISTS ! message is displayed: The unit is not supplied with battery (-) voltage at the oil pressure input. -Oil pressure switch not connected. -Oil pressure switch connection wire cut. -Oil pressure switch faulty. -Oil pressure switch closes too lately. If oil pressure switch closes, the unit will start. Optionally oil pressure switch may be replaced.
The engine does not run after the first start attempt, then the unit does not start again and OIL PRESSURE EXISTS ! message is displayed: -The oil pressure switch closes very lately. As the unit senses an oil pressure, it does not start. When oil pressure switch closes the unit will start. Optionally the oil pressure switch may be replaced.

V-37 (01.03.2012)
When the AC mains fails, the engine starts to run but the unit gives START FAIL alarm and then the engine stops: -The generator phase voltages are not connected to the unit. Measure the AC voltage between terminals GEN L1-L2-L3 and Generator Neutral at the rear of the unit while the engine is running. A fuse protecting the generator phases may be failed. A misconnection may be occurred. If everything is OK, turn all the fuses off, and then turn all the fuses on, starting from the DC supply fuse. Then test the unit again.
The unit is late to remove engine cranking: -The generator voltage rises lately. Also the generator remnant voltage is below 20 volts. The unit removes starting with the generator frequency, and needs at least 20 volts to measure the frequency. If this situation is to be avoided, the only solution is to add an auxiliary relay. The coil of the relay will be between BATTERY (-) and charging alternator D+ terminal. The normally closed contact of the relay will be connected serially to the unit's START output. So the starting will also be removed when the D+ pulls to battery positive.
The unit is inoperative: Measure the DC-supply voltage between terminals 19 and 22 at the rear of the unit. If OK, turn all the fuses off, then turn all the fuses on, starting from the DC supply fuse. Then test the unit again.
Programming mode can not be entered: The program lock input disables programming mode entry. Disconnect the program lock input from battery negative before modification. Do not forget to make this connection again to prevent unauthorized program modifications.
Some program parameters are skipped: These parameters are reserved for factory setting and cannot be modified.
AUTO led flashes and the genset does not run when mains fail: The unit is in Weekly Schedule OFF time. Please check date and time setting of the unit. Please check also Weekly Schedule program parameters.
