 GENERAL
GENERAL FEATURES
FEATURES
The electronic control board M01 is used to command and control the STAND-BY generating units. The high
control level makes it particularly suitable for highly powerful units.
The graphics that illustrate the system, the single program switch-over and the build-in digital instruments
guarantee extreme simplicity of use for the operators.
It supervises the mains power supply, the engine, the generator and the battery to assure the intervention.
It can withstand excessive mains voltage of over 8.0000Volts.
Some direct manual controls are provided that, in the event of abnormal running conditions of the electronics,
guarantee the operational capacity of the unit.
The fundamental safety devices of the engine and generator are enabled even when running in manual mode.
The GC-M01 is pre-arranged to be remotely operated and controlled with PC, TELEPHONE LINE and GSM.
It is also provided with a powerful and accurate battery charger that assures the efficiency and life of the
battery for more than five years.

 INDICATIONS AND SAFETY DEVICES
- Low oil pressure
- High motor temperature
- Fuel reserve
- Water level
- Battery charger generator
- One reserve alarm
- Failed starting
- Min/max battery voltage
- min/max mains voltage
- min/max generator voltage
- Min/max generator frequency
- Overload
- Emergency stop
- Low oil pressure and high motor temperature alarms in positive and negative logic (programmable)

DIGITAL PARAMETERS
- mains voltage 80/500V
- Generator voltage 80/500V.
- Generator frequency 0/100Hz.
- Phase current on TA 50-100-150-200-250-400-500-600-1000/5A (programmable).
- Battery voltage: 7/32V
- Battery charger current: 0/5A
- Hour meter from 0 to 9990 hours.

AUTOMATC RUNNNING MODE

- Automatic starting with adjustable delay for the mains power supply inconsistencies (even on one phase only,
with adjustable threshold) or for phase irregularities (60).
- 4 starting cycles of five seconds each, at regular intervals.
- Buzzer alarm and LED indicators in the event of failed starting attempts.

- Load-to-generator delayed switch-over (adjustable up to 6’’ to 60’’ approx.) the safety devices are inoperative in
this phase: at the end of the delay interval the mains/generator switch-over is performed and the safety devices
are enabled.
- The following safety devices are enabled while running: low oil pressure, dynamo anomaly, high engine
temperature, fuel reserve, failed starting, overload, (51) min/max generator frequency (81), min/max generator
voltage (27 and 59), one input available. When triggered the relative LED lights up, the buzzer sounds and the
unit stops immediately. The alarm cause is stored.
- When the main is restored within the established parameters, after the adjustable established delay, the
units/mains switch-over is performed (CG/CR).
- The stop may command any energ./de energ. Device and the time is self-programmed when the engine is
stopped.

LOCK STATUS
- Releases the alarm status and completely disables every possibility of starting the unit even when the mains
power supply is disconnected. It guarantees safe conditions during maintenance.

MAINS POWER SUPPLY

- Permanently enables the mains power supply and disables all the automatic functions.

MANUAL STARTING
- Enables the manual starting push button that is disabled in all the other functions.

USE

The boards are realized with different commutations:

1. Commutation with contactors, with the advantage of a high number of manoeuvrings => 400.000
Disadvantages: sensitive to short circuit current, constant consumption of energy and not manually
manoeuvrable.
2. Commutation with motorized change over switch, with the advantage of no consumption of energy,
manually manoeuvrable and not sensitive to short circuit current.
Disadvantages: limited number of manoeuvrings about 1500 with full charge.
3. Commutation with motorized switches, with the advantage of high current of short circuit, no
consumption of energy, number of manoeuvrings => 7000 and manually manoeuvrable.
