9469300996 Rev C Controls and Indicators DGC-2020HD controls and indicators are located on the front panel and are intended for local control and monitoring of DGC-2020HD operation. Front-panel controls consist of sealed membrane pushbuttons and an optional touch screen. Front-panel indicators consist of LED indicators and a backlit LCD (liquid crystal display).
Off Pushbutton and Mode Indicator. Pressing this button places the DGC-2020HD in Off mode. The red Off mode LED lights when the DGC-2020HD is in Off mode. This button also resets the Breaker Management Pre-Alarms and all MTU ECU Alarms.
Grasp the tab of the label card and pull free. The label card tab is located on the rear of the DGC-2020HD, see Figure 3. When facing the back of the panel, the label card tab is on the left.
However, critical settings must be initiated using the pushbuttons to prevent accidental operation with the touch screen. Touch screen controls are illustrated in Figure 4. Lettered locators in Figure 4 correspond to the control descriptions of Table 2. Controls and Indicators DGC-2020HD...

Use a voltmeter connected between the BATT– terminal (P4-49) and the sender negative terminals on the DGC-2020HD to verify that there is no voltage difference at any time. Any voltage differences may manifest themselves as erratic sender readings. Wiring should be corrected so that no differences exist.
Verify that all wiring is properly connected. Refer to the Typical Applications chapter in the Installation manual. Step 2. Ensure that the proper current is present at the DGC-2020HD current sensing inputs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Step 3.
• The DGC-2020HD itself when the automatic mains fail transfer (ATS) feature is enabled. • The DGC-2020HD itself when the Run with Load logic element receives a Start pulse in the programmable logic. • The DGC-2020HD itself when started from the Exercise Timer and the Run with Load box is checked in the Generator Exerciser settings.
Metering Explorer in BESTCOMSPlus and verify that the Mains Failed status LED is lit when the power on the DGC-2020HD bus voltage input is either out of voltage or frequency range. If necessary, modify the settings on the Settings, Breaker Management, Bus Condition screen to achieve correct detection.
Initiate a breaker close request by one of the methods listed in the Breaker Management chapter in the Configuration manual. Step 3: Check for raise and/or lower pulses coming from the DGC-2020HD if the governor or AVR bias control output type is contact. Step 4: Check the governor and/or AVR bias analog outputs on the DGC-2020HD with a volt meter if the governor or AVR bias control output type is analog.

If the input status is correct, but the Gen Breaker status under Metering, Status, Bus Condition, Gen is not, check the PLC logic, and verify that the Gen Breaker fed into the DGC-2020HD is tied in logic to the Status input on the Gen Breaker logic element.

Step 2: Verify generator breaker status is being correctly received as described in Generator Breaker Status is not being received by the DGC-2020HD. If the status is correct, proceed to Step 3. Step 3: Check the Load Share Line operating voltage range by examining the Min. and Max. Voltage parameters found in BESTCOMSPlus®...
Step 10: If it appears that something is driving the load share line but it is not the DGC-2020HD on one of the non-running units, search for an external device that is driving or loading down the load share lines.
DGC-2020HD Front Panel Diagnostics Screens There are several diagnostic screens in the DGC-2020HD that can be useful for debugging load sharing issues and I/O module related issues. The following debug screens are available: Load Share Line, Control, AEM-2020, CEM-2020, VRM, Mains Power and VRM Control.

To Mains logic element is true, the Watt Demand will be equal to the base load set point. When the generator breaker is open or the kW controller is disabled, the Watt Demand will always be equal to the value calculated from the voltage that the DGC-2020HD sees on its load share line. •...

Ramp Status: This indicates the current kvar ramp direction as None, Up, or Down. • var Ramp Demand: This is the normalized var demand that is ramped from the initial var loading upon generator breaker closure to the desired var output. The rate at which the ramp occurs is Troubleshooting DGC-2020HD...

Volt Error: This is the normalized difference between the measured generator voltage and the voltage to which the DGC-2020HD is trying to synchronize. It will be 0.00 at all times except when the DGC-2020HD is trying to synchronize its generator inputs to its bus input. When synchronizing, this will typically be 0.000 or some relatively small number and move a small...
