Display And Operating Elements The pressure-sensitive membrane of the front panel consists of a plastic coating. All keys have been designed as touch-sensitive membrane switch elements. The display is a LC display, comprising 2 ×16 characters, which are indirectly illuminated in red. The contrast of the display can be infinitely adjusted via a rotary poten- tiometer positioned on the left.

Push-Buttons In order to facilitate the setting of the parameters the buttons are equipped with a "AUTOROLL-function". It al- lows to switch to the next setting and configuration screens, the digits, or the cursor position. The "AUTOROLL" function will only be enabled when the user depresses the corresponding keys for a certain period of time. 2.4.1 General/Configuration STATUS / ALARM...
2.4.2 Operation Of The Power Circuit Breakers GCB ON / GCB OFF Close GCG / open GCB Color: green/red Note: Only enabled if operating mode MANUAL or TEST has been selected. GCB ON ..Depending on which power circuit breaker logic has been set, the GCB can be closed by pressing the "GCB ON"...
2.4.3 Operating Mode Select Switch AUTOMATIC Operating mode AUTOMATIC Color: gray The engine is automatically started and stopped, and the power circuit breakers are automatically actuated. The two control inputs "Automatic 1" and "Automatic 2" are used to specify various modes in "AUTOMATIC" operating mode (also see de- scription of control inputs).
TEST Operating mode TEST Color: gray By actuating the "TEST" push-button, the engine is started, and engine monitoring is activated. No power circuit breakers are operated. This is carried out in the event of mains failure and when emergency power is switched on. Start of a load test A load test is enabled via the actuation of the "GCB ON"...
WARNING The engine may start unintentionally if an alarm, which caused the engine to shut down, is acknowledged and an enabling is still present. Before acknowledging the alarm, check the cause of the alarm, in order to protect operating personnel located in the vicinity of the system against injuries, and to protect the engine against unintentional destruc- tion.
Display Measuring Values 3.1.1 First Display Line NOTE By using the button "U SELECT" the different voltages can be displayed. Display in automatic mode, first line: measuring value xxxx yyy yyy yyy ------------------------ The following measuring values are displayed (depending on the LEDs UL1/UL2/UL3): •...
3.1.2 Direction Of Power If the item's current transformers are wired according to the pin diagram shown, the following values are displayed: • Positive generator real power... The generator supplies real power. • Inductive gen. power factor ϕ ..The generator is overexcited and supplies inductive re-active power. •...
3.1.3 Second Display Line NOTE The second line can be scrolled using the "STATUS / ALARM" push-button. It is also possible, to scroll through any alarms that may be present using the "STATUS / ALARM" push-button. These display screens are displayed in succession by pressing the "STATUS / ALARM" push-button. When the last display screen has been reached, the basic screen is displayed.

Service Display Service display ON/OFF Service display ON ....The following three screens are displayed (the voltages and frequencies of the busbar, the mains and the generator are displayed). In addition, the only visible, while configuration mode is active controller outputs and the switching states of the power circuit breakers dur- ing synchronization are displayed.
3.2.3 Status Of Power Circuit Breakers And Relays During Synchronization Status of power circuit breakers and relays of the controllers Rel.: f U GCB The display shows the actual relay states of the controller outputs and the signals to the power circuit breakers during synchronization.
Operating Conditions Synchron. GCB Operating mode: GCB is synchronized (Synchronous generators) Synchron. GLS The GCB will be synchronized and will be closed when the synchronous condi- tions are met. Synchronization will be carried out, if generator voltage and busbar voltage are present. Synchron.
