Customization

Other customization and calibrations are done through
configuration files. Configuration files are generated at
the factory and not all are accessible using the controller.
To change the controller on one unit, use the "save/load
config" menu on the controller.

Engine Management

The engine management module is very similar to that
used in the manufacturer's other products. It controls en-
gine cranking, engine starting, engine running, and en-
gine stopping. These functions are performed to a set of
"rules."
NOTE: The engine management module is ECM depen-
dent and may vary.

Engine Definition

• Preheat Time - The time preheat is applied for be-
fore cranking if enabled.
• Start Detection RPM - The engine must reach this
rpm before disengaging the starter.
• Crank Time - The maximum time in seconds which
each crank will last.
• Alarm Hold-off Time - The time after starting at
which the hold-off alarms become enabled.
• Engine Warm Up Time - The engine will run for at
least this time before issuing the "Accept load"
signal.
• Target Frequency - The target generator fre-
quency (Hz).
• Target Voltage - The target generator voltage
(RMS).
• Preheat Enable - The following four options are se-
lectable (only for diesel):
• Preheat disabled
• Preheat before cranking
• Preheat during cranking
• Preheat before and during cranking
• Engine Cool Down Time - The generator will run
