OPERATIONNAL MODES
The controller can be configured and controlled using the buttons of the front panel:
• The arrows, ESC and ENTER buttons are dedicated to navigation for displaying measurements and parameters, and for configuring the controller.
• The SHIFT button is used to reset faults when combined with the alarms/faults button
• The AUTO button switches to a mode that makes the controller operate the installation in a fully automatic mode according to its settings and configuration, external action to start : "re-
mote start" digital input or "mains failure" by ModBus TCP.
• The TEST button switches to a mode that simulates the start of the Auto mode with the requested sequences, according to its settings and configuration (ex: if the controller is configured
in normal change over mode and test on load, then the transfer of load will be done after the engine start). To return to normal state, simply press AUTO again.
• The MAN button swtiches to a mode allowing you to manage your installation with the front panel buttons manually, while maintaining the automatic management of auxiliary and protec-
tions, ex : if you press the START button the engine will start and you will manage the auxiliaries (preheating/starter...), if you press I/O breaker button the load will be transferred according
to its settings. In MANUAL mode, the protections remain active, but all external start orders and automatic sequences are inhibited.
MENUS
When the controller is powered up, the home page appears on the screen. The content of this page is dynamic, depending on the status of the power plant. Press "ENTER" to access the index page of
