Controller Setup - Kohler Power Systems 8RESV Service Manual

3.6 Controller Setup

Controller setup is required after installation. Follow the
instructions in this section to set the necessary
parameters.
If a personal computer (laptop) and Kohlerr SiteTecht
software were used to create a controller settings file at
the time of generator set installation (when the controller
was known to be operating correctly), then SiteTech
software can be used to load the saved settings onto the
new controller. See TP-6701, SiteTech Software
Operation Manual, for instructions to export and import
controller settings.
Note: Load the old controller settings to the new
controller only if you are certain that the settings
are correct. Many generator set operation
problems can be caused by incorrect settings.
Controller Setup Notes:
Some of the required information can be found on the
D
generator set nameplate. See Figure 3-7 for the
nameplate location.
Genset Model Number: For the 8RESVL, select
D
Model 8RESV. For 10RESVL, select 10RESV For
12RESVL, select 12RESV.
The Fuel Type parameter is available with controller
D
firmware versions 4.5 or higher. The fuel type setting
affects the generator set power rating, which is used
to determine setpoints for the optional load
management device. Setting the Fuel Type is
recommended if the generator set is connected to a
load management device.
