1.1.2 Legal information and disclaimer DEIF takes no responsibility for installation or operation of the generator set. If there is any doubt about how to install or operate the engine/generator controlled by the Multi-line 2 unit, the company responsible for the installation or the operation of the set must be contacted.
1.2 About the Application Notes 1.2.1 General purpose This document includes application notes for DEIF's Multi-line 2 unit. It mainly includes examples of different applications suitable for the unit. For functional descriptions, the procedure for parameter setup, parameter lists, and so on, see the Designer's Reference Handbook.
2.1 About the application 2.1.1 General description This document mainly includes general information (in point form) on how to upgrade a standard PPU-2 to a PPU-3 system, including mounting instructions and wiring descriptions, parameter and general standard con- versions. Upgrading of a GPU-2 to a GPU-3 is a similar setup. Contact DEIF support for more details.

2.2.2 Parameter settings - system setup The PC utility software is a software program that can be used for configuration of the Multi-line 2 products. There are two versions, 1.x for PPU-2 and 3.x. for PPU-3. The utility software can be downloaded at www.deif.com.
2.2.5 Parameter setup governor relay The PPU-2 standard unit controls the governor on relay output terminals 65-68, slot #4, these are not configu- rable. The PPU-3 standard unit has four configurable relay outputs, placed in slot #4, terminals 65-72. The table below shows the differences in the standard parameter settings.

Here it is possible to set an alarm to for example Trip of GB, Warning shutdown, and so on. Inhibits are also added in the protection pa- rameter.
2.2.8 Mode selection The setup for regulation mode has been changed and works differently in PPU-3. In the PPU-2 system, the selection of running modes is a combination of digital inputs, see the table below. In the PPU-3 system, the four different modes can be configured in the utility software - I/O settings.

ML-2 application notes Converting PPU-2 Application and installation to PPU-3 4189341126 UK M-Logic is a simple tool based on logic events. One or more input conditions are defined, and at the activa- tion of those inputs, the defined output will occur. A great variety of inputs can be selected, such as digital inputs, alarm conditions and running conditions.
