 INSTRUCTIONS IN BRIEF
SPG-120/10 surveys the most important parameters of the engine and of the generator of a single-
phase or three-phase genset unit, showing them on the alphanumeric display and stopping the engine if
there is an anomaly. An interface cable transmits the data to a personal computer, even at a distance.

GENSET PROTECTION ENABLING
The genset unit protections are enabled in three ways:
• Immediately for battery undervoltage or overvoltage, overheating alarm, engine overheating, engine
overheating detected by thermostatic switch, all of the fuel control levels generator overfrequency, generator
overload alarm, generator overload and low radiator coolant level.
• 10 seconds after the threshold for the generator undervoltage and underfrequency has been reached;
• 20 seconds after the termination of the start-up impulse for the anomaly probes: Low oil pressure warning,
low oil pressure, generator overvoltage and recharge alternator fault
The intervention of the fault is displayed; it can cause the engine to be stopped and activates the general alarm.
SEE TABLE on page 5.
FAULT DISPLAY

W hen the engine is running the generator set instruments are shown.
W hen there is a fault, instead of the reading, the display shows the intervened fault message.

HOW TO SEE THE INSTRUMENT READINGS AGAIN

The measurements can be read by pressing key for 1 second.

The display will resume showing the previous fault 20 seconds after the last pressing of the key.

FAULT RESET

The protection devices and all the stopped functions are re-activated by pressing the start key.

(1*,1(67233$*(
The device commands the stop in three ways:
· By turning the start key onto “ZERO”
· By protections intervention
· By external emergency intervention.
The device adapts to two different stop systems:
· By working the ELECTROMAGNET for 20 seconds which pulls the STOP lever
· By cutting off power to the SOLENOID VALVE shutting off the flow of fuel.

*(1(5$/$/$50
This is produced by mounting an external optic and/or acoustic signal, linked to the appropriate terminal.

W hen key is pressed, the general alarm is silenced.

35(9(17,9(0$,17(1$1&(
W hen preventive maintenance operations need to be carried out, the figures of the hour-meter flash while the

number of the intervened maintenance appears and LED lights up.

The timing for the maintenance operations and the procedure for zeroing the time up maintenance indication
can be programmed by the manufacturer of the genset unit.

other level is programmed to stop the engine (the overtemperature is also detected by the thermostatic switch, which always

 NOTICES

Used only to show the principal parameters of a genset unit and to survey it during its operation, commanding its
stoppage if there is an anomaly.
Constructed to be installed mounted in dashboards, electric panels ecc.

Warning: Components carrying dangerous voltage levels

Only assigned and suitably trained personnel are allowed access to the instrument. No maintenance operations
are permitted unless the plant is disconnected from the mains and the battery. As an additional safety measure,
the plant phases should be short-circuited and earthed.

Not withstanding the above, only assigned and trained personnel can perform the following operations with the
plant receiving power:
- visual inspection of the instrument connections and markings;
- measurement of the voltage and/or current;
- programming of the functions.
These interventions, however, must be performed using equipment which ensures appropriate levels of electrical protection.

Warning:
Adhere closely to the following advice
- When making connections always follow the instructions and the Wiring Diagram on page 6.
