An electronic control system has been designed and installed to control and monitor the generator set. Depending on the requirements of the generator set, one of several different standard control systems may be fitted. Other more specialised systems may be fitted for specific installations in which case separate documentation is provided.
These control systems consist of three major components working together:
Control Panel – provides a means of starting and stopping the generator set, monitoring its operation and output and
automatically shutting down the generator set in the event of a critical condition arising such as low oil pressure or high enginecoolant temperature to prevent major damage to the engine / alternator.
Engine Interface Module (where fitted) - provides switching relays for the Starter Motor Solenoid, Glow Plug and Fuel Solenoid.Each of these circuits is protected with individual fuses mounted in the module. Individual LED’s illuminate when each circuit is energised.
Power Output Circuit Breaker - serves to protect the alternator by automatically disconnecting the load in the event of overload or short circuit. It also provides a means of switching the generator set output.
