1-60 or 1-45 respectively. DISPLAY MODULE The Display Module serves as the user interface for the DE-3000 system. It is in a 6.5" x 6.5" panel-mounted enclosure and consists of an alphanumeric backlit LCD display, a 16-key front-mounted keypad, DB-25 D-Sub and DB-9 D-Sub connectors and five pairs of serial port indicators.

OUT 1 slot must be used to trip the fuel valve, and OUT 2 slot must be used to short the ignition. If 12-24Vdc is lost to the DE-3000 annunciator system, the custom Output Modules will trip the fuel valve and short the igni- tion shutdown lead.

PC (personal computer) or a PLC (programmable logic controller) to perform remote monitoring or control functions if desired. Terminals marked IGN IN and PU IN are used by the DE-3000 system to detect either engine rotation or ignition system firings. This input monitors changing signals such as those Seen on either the ignition shutdown lead or a magnetic pickup monitoring an engine mounted gear.

SENSE ROTATION INPUT Terminals marked IGN IN and PU IN on the Power Supply Module are used by the DE-3000 system to detect either engine rotation or ignition system firings. On applications using multiple terminal board assemblies, the T+ terminal on the second terminal board (the one not directly connected to the power supply) can be used to add a second RPM value.

HAZARDOUS AREA OPERATION The DE-3000 system is CSA-certified for CLASS I, DIVISION 2, GROUPS C and D areas when mounted in a suitable enclosure. WARNING: SUBSTITUTION OF COMPO- NENTS MAY IMPAIR INTRINSIC SAFETY In addition, the following requirements must be met (refer to NFPA standard no. 493): AND/OR SUITABILITY FOR CLASS I, DIV.

DISCHARGE 200 PSIG If Multi-Start has been enabled, the DE-3000 will automatically attempt an- other AUTO START sequence if the crank disconnect RPM is not met within the user-defined time. Once the AUTO START sequence has failed, a delay timer will begin counting down before the system starts up again.

(if still ON) and auxiliary module remain ON for an individually programmed amount of time before turning OFF. If Multi-Start has been enabled, the DE-3000 will automatically attempt an- other OEM ENGINE CONTROL sequence if the Crank/Multi-Start disconnect RPM is not met within the user-defined time. Just like the Multi-Start for AUTO START, once the sequence has failed, the display will flash a delay timer will begin counting down before the system starts up again.

OIL CHANGE REQUIRED There are up to eleven user programmable service messages. The desired mes- sages and service intervals are selected when programming the DE-3000 sys- tem. The service intervals can only be changed by using the terminal program and the PC. The servicemeter alert can be reset after the required service is performed by pressing the F2 key with the desired message displayed.

In order to change the control strategy for LINEAR/RAMP control, see section 15.6. In addition to the two 4-20mA analog control loop outputs, the DE-3000 offers a pulsed digital output control option on Digital outputs #1 and #2 for use with solenoid valves or motor valves.

16.0 VIEWING THE TIME AND DATE OF THE FIRST FAULT 16.1 The DE-3000 controller system “stamps” the time and date occurrence of the first fault. To view the time and date of the first fault, press the F2 key after a fault occurs but before reset is initiated.
Page 37
18.5 The DE-3000 system uses a simple ASCII command to read the data collected. The ASCII command must be transmitted to the controller by the PC or PLC before it can respond. The command is shown below. The hexadecimal values for the characters are shown only for those using low level (assembly language) decoding and will not appear on the communications terminal screen.

18.9 The most current data can be read remotely by sending the following ASCII com- mand: >(01 DL 000) 18.10 The DE-3000 system can be reset or stopped remotely by sending a serial com- mand string. REMOTE RESET >(01 AUTO) REMOTE STOP >(01 STOP)

19.0 AUTOMATIC CALL OUT USING AN EXTERNAL MODEM 19.1 The DE-3000 controller system can perform an automatic call out upon a fault condition. When a fault occurs, the system will dial up to four preprogrammed phone numbers stored in an external modem, negotiate communications and send the first fault data log report message (the 999 command) to the Altronic monitor program on a PC or to a customer supplied device.

2nd line resumes displaying ARMED. 21.0 INTEGRATED TIMER OUTPUTS 21.1 On 2014 and later versions of the DE-3000, digital outputs #5 and #13 may be configured in the terminal program to be used as integrated timers. When configured for this function, the digital outputs turn ON at the engine start and remain ON until a specified amount of time has passed since a stop or fault.

AUTO START command is received returning the system to STATE 0. If the DE-3000 is set up for Multi- Start, then a delay timer will begin counting down before another start attempt is automatically triggered.

CONTROL: Out 1 for Driven Equipment Ready (DER), Out 2 for Start/Run Signal, Out 3 Auxiliary if necessary, Out 4 for Pre/Post Lube. OEM ENGINE CONTROL begins its sequence when an auto start command is sent to the DE-3000. The various programmable timers for each module on the power supply board output are shown below.
Page 46
Start/Run Signal and the Auxiliary output begin counting down. DER remains ON from the time the auto start signal is sent to the DE-3000 until a manual stop or fault occurs. All class A setpoints are monitored and class B and C timers begin once the auto start signal is received.

1.X configuration into an equivalent 2.X one. Once it has been converted, it is possible to utilize any new features included only in the 2.X version and then save the file as a .PG7. THE DE-3000 STILL CAN ONLY BE PROGRAMMED THROUGH THE 2.X TERMINAL PRO- GRAM IF ALL TERMINAL AND DISPLAY BOARD FIRMWARE FOR THE DEVICE IS DATED 2014 OR LATER.

C. Cascade RPM/LOAD Control - configure A02 for Cascade Control D. Linear/Ramp Control - (Version 2.X only) configure A02 for Linear/ Ramp Control. The DE-3000 will create a linear relationship between the value of Channel 1 and the output current. It is up to the user to map an accurate RPM value to the min and max output limit.
