EGC-150 is a MANUAL/REMOTE Generator controller cum supervisory module designed to control the engine via push buttons on front panel or remotely operated key switch/digital inputs. During all cycles, generator is fully monitored and protected against any fault. All the alarm occurring at abnormal GEN»SET conditions are detected and displayed on LCD display and if necessary GEN-SET is stopped and hooter gets activated. EGC-150 operates in one of the two modes as described below. The operating mode must be selected from MMI. These modes are Manual Mode & Remote Mode.
Manual Mode: This mode is selected through parameter menu. In this mode EGC-150 will be operated manually. It will only respond to START and STOP keys for Generator start and stop operation. These keys will be functional only when manual mode is active. Before giving start command to Generator one must ensure that Generator CB is open. Start key should be pressed until the engine reaches the threshold speed. Generator CB may now be closed provided that the Mains CB is open. Pressing of Stop key turns off the engine. Before giving stop command from keypad, the generator CB must be open. The generator is stopped without going through recooling phase. In this mode all protection for Gen Set like under voltage, over voltage, under/over frequency, HCT, LLOP etc. will remain active.
Remote Mode: This mode is selected through parameter menu. In this mode EGO-150 will be operated remotely. It will only respond to Remote Start DI signal and Remote Stop DI signal for DG start and stop operation. Before giving start command to Generator one must ensure that Generator CB is open. Remote Start DI signal should be held down until the engine reaches the threshold speed. Generator CB may now be closed provided that the Mains CB is open. Remote Stop Dl signal turns off the engine. Before giving stop command from DI, the generator CB must be open. The generator is stopped without going thru re-cooling phase. In this mode all protection for GEN- SEl’ like under voltage, over voltage, HCT, LLOP etc. will remain active.
