(13) Button for the "SETUP" screen

The "SETUP "screen is accessed by touching the button for the "SETUP" screen (13). This button also appears on the "MAIN" screen. The operating parameters that do not require a password may be configured from the "SETUP" screen.

The parameters are viewed by scrolling through the list. Use the button for scrolling in the UP direction (7) or use the button for scrolling in the DOWN direction (11). The selected parameter is indicated by the arrow for selection (10). The current parameter value is displayed in the indicator for the current value (8) .

If the parameter is adjustable the button for "EDIT" (12) is enabled. If this button is pressed, a numeric keypad will appear and a new value may be entered. The new value will be displayed in the indicator for the new value (9). In order to set the value, the operator must touch the "ENTER" button that is located on the keypad. The minimum limit and the maximum limit are checked in the program. The new values are entered if the values are within the limits of the program. The minimum and the maximum values may be viewed by touching the button for help (6) .

Parameters in the list that are marked with an asterisk are secured. The operator must be logged into the system in order to gain access. This is done by entering the password. The password is a 4 digit number. The default password for the system user is 1234. The password can be changed. The name of the active user is displayed. A parameter is secured if a graphic symbol of a closed padlock is displayed to the right of the button for "LOG IN" (1). The parameter cannot be changed if the Icon for logged out (2) is present. A parameter is unsecured if an unlocked graphic appears. The user can be logged out by touching the button for "LOG OUT" (3).

The button for "TOOLS" (4) will display the screen that is used in order to configure the characteristics of the touchscreen display.

Operating Parameters (Low Voltage Switchgear)

Table 1
Parameters For Operation    
Operating Parameter     Description     Minimum     Maximum     Typical     Unit    
Base Load     This is the value that is used for base load control. This is not active when the unit is in STANDBY mode.     110% of the unload setpoint     100% of the genset nameplate         kW    
Unload Time     Unload time is the time that is used by the genset to go from rated load to zero load when the genset is operating in base load mode. The generator circuit breaker will open when the generator load reaches the unload setpoint.     30     420     120     sec.    
Load Time     Load time is the time that is required to go from zero load to the rated load when the genset is operating in the base load mode.     30     420     120     sec.    
Unload Setpoint     The unload setpoint is the load point when the generator circuit breaker will open during an unload sequence.     0     500     50     kW    
Stability kW     Stability kW is used in base load control. Stability kW sets the error limit when the controller is regulating the load. A lower value will increase the precision of tracking, but a lower value may cause instability.     1     10     2     kW    
Stability Gain     Stability gain is used in base load control. Stability gain sets the controller gain when the controller is regulating the load. A higher value may increase the precision of tracking, but a higher value may cause instability.     1     10     2        
Nameplate Standby kW (1)     Nameplate standby kW is the factory default value for the rating of the power module.     700     2250     2000     kW    
LSM Voltage (2)     This is the LSM voltage reference. Enter the maximum LSM voltage reference.     2000     4000     3000     mV    
CT ratio (2)     Enter a whole number. As an example, if the CT ratio is 3000:5, then enter 600.     5     700     600        
PT ratio (2)     Enter a whole number. As an example, if the PT ratio is 480:120, then enter 4.     4     200     4        
Remote start enable (2)     Set the remote start enable to 1 in order to allow a remote start. Set the remote start enable to 0 in order to block a remote start.     0     1     0     Binary Digit    
( 1 ) The value for this parameter is set at the factory. The value is read only.
( 2 ) A password is required in order to change this parameter. Use the button for "TOOLS" (12) in order to change the password.
