The iGUARD controller has a textured finish; UV stabilized polycarbonate injection molded housing, and is sealed with an “o” ring to help protect the iGUARD from the environment. There is a back cover protecting the Energy monitoring Board (EMB) to prevent contact with circuit board components and potentially harmful AC voltage wiring.

If the conditions subsequently clear and re-occur or if additional warnings occur, the common alarm output will come back on.

Operating Instructions Operating Sequence The iGUARD controller, while reprogrammable, follows a standard operating sequence. This operating sequence is basically a set of machine states that happen in a pre-determined order. Machine states can be set to zero if not needed, or adjusted to fit the application. For the basic operating sequence, see the iGUARD Sequence Appendix in the Installing the Mimic/Annunciator DM/A section, this document.

Energized to Stop The Energized to Stop timer is ON and the Energized to Stop output is active. Stopped Mode Generator has come to a complete stop. Postlube Mode In larger generators there may be a requirement for automatic lubrication after a normal start/run/stop cycle before the engine can be restarted (set to 0 to bypass).
Programming the iGUARD from the Keypad The iGUARD controller can be programmed in two separate ways. Most setup can be done from the front panel. There are some parameters, such as changing passwords that require the use of the iGCON software tool. The iGUARD programming menus can be accessed at any time by pressing the left and right arrows at the same time.

Center Tap Delta f. Single Phase There are a number of ways to connect AC to the iGUARD. It is important to understand the options and their meaning. In the case of alternators that can be reconnected, the AC voltage and current are measured at the non-neutral junction of the coils, and if “3ph high wye”...

When using a Center Tapped Delta (3-phase output is 240VL-L, but L-N is 120,208,120L1, L2, and L3 respectively) this is the setup to select. Single phase (two lines and a neutral) of any configuration. 12. Generator Over Freq -Over-frequency shutdown setpoint. (Default is 65 Hz) 13.
NFPA-110 requires a secondary speed signal source to prevent crank re-engagement. If the iGUARD is being used in an NFPA-110 / 99 application, and there is a low speed warmup/idle required, the AC frequency cannot be used as a primary nor secondary speed signal source.

The low wye will read full output voltage (L-N) and half of the current (per phase). The high wye will read half of the output voltage (L-N) and full current (per phase). The CT’s have to be sized to read the current in the high wye configuration (The current through a conductor is identical throughout the conductor) –...
Page 30
A more easily understood method is to connect the iGUARD to the output terminals, with the CTs sized for maximum current in the low wye configuration. This way, the controller can read what is actually coming out of the generator, without any need to interpolate and assume. This will offer increased accuracy, and is generally easier to understand.

7. Shutdown - Activated only by a fault shutdown. 8. Common Alarm - Any warning or shutdown condition will activate the relay. 9. Remote Alarm - Any alarm condition will actuate this output; can be de-energized by an ACK or by a reset condition. 10.

4-20mA or 0-5VDC type signals. The iGUARD uses variable precision current sources to accommodate many different brands of resistive senders as well as true detection of open/missing sender and sender shorted to ground.
Page 36
Most applications will require that ground be applied as the signal that an input is active. The standard iGUARD connection diagrams show this type of connection. However, some applications either require or are much easier to implement using a positive +V battery signal to indicate the input is active.
Page 37
Relay Functions Display All relay functions that are active will be displayed on the screen. If a relay has been assigned a function that is currently active, then that relay number will appear to the left of the active relay function name. Relay designation is displayed in sequence.

The ECU is sending out a Wait-to-Start message. 4. If there are no "Wait to start" conditions, the iGUARD begins a normal start cycle, or if there are one or more "Wait to Start" signals, the iGUARD waits for them to clear before proceeding.
Page 39
Plus a number of status bits - such as wait to start, and the lamp codes (Shutdown, warning, maintenance). The iGUARD displays active fault codes*. Additionally, the engine faults and severity for the most common faults and warnings are displayed not only as the Suspect Parameter Number, (SPN) and failure mode indication (FMI) but also in plain text.
Notes: John Deere originally implemented J1939 revision 2. When finalized, it implemented revision 4 of the standard. As long as the iGUARD is set to "DEERE" as a manufacturer, we can determine the ECU software revision and automatically accommodate for this version.

NOTE: Murphy recommends the use of two wire senders, with the sender return connected to the analog channel. If single ended senders are used, with ground provided at the sender itself, there can be a number of problems that may or may not affect any given installation.

J8 – Positive Emergency Stop J8 - is the positive emergency stop. From the factory there is a loop from terminal 1 to terminal 2. The controller will power up, but will not operate the relays without this connection. If your application requires a true positive emergency stop, we recommend that you install a normally closed type switch between terminals 1 &...
I/O Board Relays The 8 relays mounted on the I/O board are pre-programmed at the factory to: Relays may be re-assigned to any of the other desired functions at will from the front panel.

(~.25 Ohms) so the common mode voltage will be well within a safe range. In applications where the CT’s are commoned together (4 wires - CT1+, CT2 +, CT3+ and CT common) the system will only read 1/2 of the current signal, unless the iGUARD is programmed to reflect commoned CT’s.
