Warnings and safety

Safety during installation and operation
When you install and operate the equipment, you may have to work with dangerous currents and voltages. The installation must
only be carried out by authorised personnel who understand the risks involved in working with electrical equipment.
Hazardous live currents and voltages
Do not touch any terminals, especially the AC measurement inputs and the relay terminals, as this could lead to injury or
death.
Automatic and remote-controlled starts
Automatic genset start
The power management system automatically starts gensets when more power is needed. It can be difficult for an
inexperienced operator to predict which gensets will start. In addition, gensets can be started remotely (for example, via
an Ethernet connection, or a digital input).
To avoid personal injury, the genset design, the layout, and maintenance procedures must take this into account.
Switchboard control
In Switchboard control, the operator operates the equipment from the switchboard. When Switchboard control is activate:
• The controller trips the breaker and/or shuts down the engine, if an alarm situation arises that requires a trip and/or shutdown.
• The controller does not accept operator commands.
• The controller cannot and does not prevent manual operator actions.
The switchboard design must protect the system when the controller is in Switchboard control.
Manual override of alarm action
Do not use switchboard or manual control to override the alarm action of an active alarm.
An alarm may be active because it is latched, or because the alarm condition is still active. If the alarm action is
manually overridden, the latched alarm provides no protection.
Do not manually override active alarm actions
Manual override of latched alarm action
If the alarm action is manually overridden, a latched alarm does NOT provide any protection.
Do not override the alarm action of an active alarm. An alarm may be active because it is latched, or because the alarm
condition is still present.
