Manual 37187A SYNCONpanel - Transportable Remote Synchronizing Panel Chapter 4. Mobile System Modes The operating modes of the Rental Package GCP-31/RPQ+SC08 are usually selected via an external selector switch and the digital inputs. A typical connection of the selector switch and a description of the operating modes belonging to it may be found in the following.

Manual 37187A SYNCONpanel - Transportable Remote Synchronizing Panel Switch Position OFF The GCP will be de-energized in this operating mode. No actions are initiated by the unit anymore. If you switch to position OFF while the genset is running, the GCB opens and the genset stops immediately (it is assumed that this is provided by the customer).

Manual 37187A SYNCONpanel - Transportable Remote Synchronizing Panel Push Buttons Configuration may be performed by manually inputting the desired set points utilizing the pushbuttons and the LC display. In order to facilitate configuring the parameters, the push buttons have been enabled with an AUTOROLL function.

SYNCONpanel - Transportable Remote Synchronizing Panel SYNCONpanel ≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡ The SYNCONpanel consists of the SYNCON unit described under SYNCON Unit on page 14 and various con- trol switches and buttons as well as measuring inputs. Figure 5-2: SYNCONpanel front Push Buttons The following push buttons are utilized to remote control the synchronization process on the SYNCONpanel.
Busbar Sensing Busbar sensing selection Local..The busbar voltage is measured via the voltage measur- ing inputs on the front of the SYNCONpanel. Remote ..The busbar voltage is measured via the industrial plug-in connector. The measuring inputs on the front of the SYNCONpanel (Busbar L1 and Neutral N) are discon- nected.
SYNCONpanel - Transportable Remote Synchronizing Panel Chapter 6. Configuration NOTE When using the SYNCONpanel together with the GCP-31/RPQ+SC08, it is not possible to configure and control the GCP-31/RPQ+SC08 remotely using LeoPC1 via CAN connection. It is required to configure the unit via LeoPC1 and a DPC connection.
Manual 37187A SYNCONpanel - Transportable Remote Synchronizing Panel Voltage Controller In case of transfer operation mode, the unit controls frequency and voltage with droop behavior. For the transfer operation mode, a droop characteristic for the voltage controller is required, otherwise the gen- erator set would not be able to maintain a stable reactive power being in parallel with the mains.
Manual 37187A SYNCONpanel - Transportable Remote Synchronizing Panel Automatic Mode Configuration Start in mode: STOP, MANUAL, AUTOMATIC, as before Power On Mode: STOP STOP....The unit is in STOP operating mode after applying battery voltage. MANUAL ..The unit is in MANUAL operating mode after applying battery volt- age.
Manual 37187A SYNCONpanel - Transportable Remote Synchronizing Panel Mains connection detection (time) 0 to 999 s Detection Mains conn. after 000s If the phase angle between busbar and mains is below the angle configured above for at least the time configured here, the unit detects the connection between busbar and mains and indicates this with the message "Mains connected".
8. After starting the engine successfully, the generator can be synchronized with the busbar by pressing the "GCB ON" button on the GCP. With the feedback of a closed GCB, the "Ready" LED at the SYNCONpanel should light up, otherwise the SYNCONpanel is not in operation.
Synchronizing the Consumer Load Back from Generator to Mains 1. If not already done, connect the SYNCONpanel with the container and use the flat bar clamps for voltage measuring. The clamp-on transducer is not required, but if the connection with the mains is expected to take longer, it is recommended to use a clamp-on transducer here as well (the correct polarity must be observed).
