Password
There are three levels of password protection.
0. User
level allows change of non-protected setpoints only
1. Operator
level allows change of setpoints protected by Operator level
2. Master
level allows change of setpoints protected by Operator and Master level
3. Supervisor highest level allows all setpoints or configuration changes, firmware upgrade.
Hint:
The asterisk mark * appears before a setpoint name (on controller screen) if the setpoint is password
protected.
The asterisk mark is removed only when the password is set from controllers front panel.
The asterisk mark is still visible on controller screen even if the password is set from WinEdit.
Even though one level may have been set from the front panel, the affected setpoints are not accessible
from WinEdit (direct or Modem) until this level is set in WinEdit (direct or Modem). Setpoints opened from
front panel are automatically closed 15 minutes after the last key has been depressed or when wrong value
of password is set.
It is possible to protect remote Start, Stop, GCB and MCB commands from WinEdit, MultiEdit as well. This
three level command protection can be configured from WinEdit.
EnterPassword
Password is a four-digit number. Only setpoints associated with the entered password level can be modified.
Use or to select the desired password and then press enter.

OFF mode
No start of the gen-set is possible. Outputs STARTER, GCB CLOSE/OPEN and FUEL SOLENOID are
not energized.
No reaction if buttons START,STOP,GCB ON/OFF are pressed.
When power-cut comes, MCB CLOSE/OPEN opens. After mains returns, MCB CLOSE/OPEN closes
with MCB close del.
MAN mode
1) To start the gen-set press START.
2) When the generator voltage is within limits (adjusted in the setpoints group Generator protections)
GCB green LED on the front panel lights.
3) Press GCB ON/OFF to close the GCB. If the generator voltage is out of the limits, controller does not to
respond to the GCB ON/OFF .
a) If controller detects dead bus, immediately closes GCB OPEN/CLOSE output.
b) If controller detects voltage on the bus, starts synchronizing.
4) To stop the engine press STOP
a) controller unloads the gen-set, opens GCB CLOSE/OPEN. Unloading is active only when binary
input MCB feedback is closed or other gen-set is connected to bus. In other case GCB CLOSE/OPEN
opens immediately.
b) Gen-set is cooled and stopped.
Hint:
Controller does not respond to the binary input SYS START/STOP. The gen-set is fully in manual control;
there is no automatic way to stop it (except protections). The gen-set stays running until STOP button is
pressed.
Controller does not take place in Power management in MINT, MEXT application
AUT mode
AMF
1) Mains failure is recognized
a) Controller opens MCB (depends on setpoint AutoMains fail:MCB opens on setting)
b) After EmergStart del elapsed, InteliSys starts the gen-set
c) If mains recovers during the start-up process, Controller closes MCB again after MCB close del and
stops the gen-set.
2) When the gen-set is started and the generator voltage and frequency is within limits (adjusted in menu
Generator protections) Controller closes the GCB. If the generator voltage is out of the limits for
MaxStabil time, Controller indicates the failure and stops the gen-set.
3) After mains recovers:
a) After MainsReturn del the Controller starts synchronizing to mains, closes the MCB and starts
unloading.
b) After the Breakers overlap delay Controller opens the GCB.
c) The gen-set is cooled and stopped.
Remote start/stop
Genset starts automatically, when binary input REM START/STOP is closed and stops by opening it.

Peak shaving
Genset can start and stop automatically according to consumption from the mains (object).
If Mains import value exceeds for more than ProcessControl:PeakAutS/S del
ProcessControl:PeakLevelStart, engine starts automatically.
If Load consumption (Mains import + Genset power) drops for more than ProcessControl:PeakAutS/S del
below ProcessControl:PeakLevelStop, engine stops.
Hint:
Engine does not stop, if other condition for automatic starts are active.
Example: If peak stop condition occurs, but REMOTE START/STOP is active, engine stays running.
InteliSys does not respond to GCB ON/OFF , MCB ON/OFF , STOP, START buttons and corresponding
remote WinEdit or Modbus commands.
Set Basic setting: FltRes GoToMAN = ENABLED to avoid automatic engine start when pressing FAULT
RESET after Shut down or Slow stop alarm.
!!!!! VERY IMPORTANT !!!!!!
Engine can start automatically without warning when pressing FAULT RESET after shut down alarm.

Alarm management
Following alarms are available:
Binary alarms
No protection
Warning no action
Shutdown
Slow stop
Electric protection
History record
Analog alarms
None
Sensor fail
Wrn+shut down
Wrn+slow stop
Wrn+ElProt
Each active alarm is recorded to history and indicated on Alarm list screen. Detection of each binary input
alarm is fix 1 sec time delayed. Analog input Alarm detection is usually based on two levels (e.g. wrn and
sd). The Sensor fail activates or does not activate binary output common Alarm depends on configuration.
Use WinEdit to modify binary or analog inputs configuration.
Warning (Wrn)
When warning comes up, only alarm outputs are closed.
Possible warnings:
Binary inputs configured as Warning (alarms are displayed and stored under configured name)
Analog inputs configured as Warning (alarms are displayed and stored under configured name)

Alarms indication
There can be following actions when Alarm is active (depends on Alarm type and configuration):
Alarm list record
History list record
Active call (when is enabled and modem is installed)
Controller front panel LED indication
Binary output ALARM is closed when Alarm is active or when was deactivated and FAULT RESET
button was not pressed to confirm.
Binary output ALARM opens when Alarm was deactivated (no other Alarm is active) and FAULT RESET
button was pressed to confirm.
Binary output HORN is closed for adjustable time when any new Alarm occurs.
Corresponding value reading (binary input state, analog input value, generator voltage, .. ) is inverse
(e.g. 100 ) on InteliGen screen when value is out of limits (binary input protection is active).
