Safety Instructions
General Instructions
✓ This document includes important instructions that should be followed during installation and
maintenance of the generator Set controller.
✓ For safety reasons, the manufacturer recommends that this equipment be installed and serviced by
an authorized service personnel. Follow all applicable state and local electrical codes.
✓ Efficient and safe operation of the controller can be acquired only if the equipment is correctly
operated, configured and maintained. Many accidents arise due to ignorance or illiteracy towards the
elemental rules of safety and precautions.
The following safety notations found throughout this document indicate potentially hazardous
conditions to the operator, service personnel or the equipment.
Electrical Safety
✓ Electric shock can cause severe personal injury or death.
✓ Ensure the generator set must be grounded before performing any installation or service.
✓ Generators produce high electrical voltages, direct contact with it can cause fatal electrical shock.
Prevent contact with terminals, bare wires, connections, etc., while the generator and related
equipment are running. Do not tamper with interlocks.
✓ To handle the maximum electrical current, sizes of wire gauge used for electrical connections and
wirings must be appropriate to which they will be subjected to.
In Operation Safety
✓ Before installing genset controller, ensure that all power voltage supplies are positively turned off at
their source. Disconnect the generator’s battery cables and remove panel fuse to prevent accidental
start up. Disconnect the cable from the battery post, indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG, or (–) first.
Reconnect the negative cable last. Failure to do so will result in hazardous and possibly fatal
electrical shock.
✓ Remove electric power supply before removing controller or touching other electrical parts.
✓ Use extreme caution when working on electrical components. High voltage can cause injury or death.
✓ Use rubber insulative mats placed on dry wood platforms over floors that are metal or concrete when
working near generator set or other electrical equipment.
✓ Do not wear damp clothing (particularly wet shoes) or allow skin surface to be damp when handling
electrical equipment.
✓ Do not operate any electrical device or wires while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or
feet are wet. It may result in severe electrical shock.

✓ Do not wear jewellery. Jewellery can cause a short circuit within electrical contacts and cause shock
or burning.
✓ In case of an accident caused by electric shock, immediately shut down the electrical power source. If
this is not possible, try to release the victim from the live conductor. Avoid direct contact with the
victim. Use a nonconducting object, like, a rope or wooden stick, to release the victim from the live
conductor. If the victim is unconscious, apply first aid and get immediate medical help.

*The charge fail is a combined input and output terminal. When the genset starts, the terminal provides
the excitation current to the charge alternator field winding. After the excitation is successfully done, the
controller reads the charging alternator's output voltage for monitoring its health. The action for charge
fail is configurable.
The sensor common point (SCP) terminal (Pin # 16) of the controller should be
directly connected to an electrically sound point on the engine body. This point on the
engine body should serve as a common reference point for all analog sensors such
as those for measuring lube oil pressure, engine temperature and fuel level. The
electrical cable used for the connection should not be shared with any other electrical
connection. Such a wiring practice is strongly recommended to ensure that there is
negligible potential difference, if any, between the engine body and the controller's
SCP terminal, and, predictable and accurate analog sensor measurements are always
available in a wide variety of field conditions.

Start and Stop Sequence
The following is the mechanism which explains the behaviour of the controller when it receives start
and stop command.

Operation modes
• Auto mode
• Manual mode
• Test mode
Auto mode
To enter Auto mode press “AUTO” key.
• Site Battery Monitoring mode (fuel saving mode)
• Cyclic mode
• Auto Mains Failure (AMF)
• Remote start/stop
• Exerciser mode

Page | 38
GC2100 SEDEMAC
Auto Mains Failure (AMF)
The AMF mode is only valid when site monitoring, Cyclic and exercise modes are
disabled, and Mains Monitoring is enabled.
Page | 39
GC2100 SEDEMAC
Remote start/stop
The Remote start/stop mode is only valid when Site monitoring, Cyclic, exerciser
modes and Mains Monitoring are disabled.
Page | 40
GC2100 SEDEMAC
Exercise Mode
The GC2100 allows to configure two scheduled sequences to start and stop the genset on preconfigured
time.
The Exercise will occur when the controller is in the Auto mode with no shutdown or warning alarms. The
genset will run for pre-set duration. In this mode, load transfer on mains/genset is configurable.
Scheduled sequences can be configured to repeat daily, weekly or monthly.
• If the controller is in Auto mode, Exercise will run at scheduled time for pre-set duration. Controller
will exit from Exercise mode, if the pre-set duration is expired or if Stop key is pressed while
scheduled sequence is running.
• If the controller is in Manual mode when the scheduled sequence begins, genset will not be
started. If the controller is switched to Auto mode during Exercise is running, genset will start and
run for remaining scheduled duration.
• The genset controller will not respond to Remote start command in Exercise mode.
• In AMF mode, if the mains is unhealthy or cut off or when the genset is running in Exercise mode,
genset will first run Exercise and then genset will continues to run in AMF mode. Load will be
transferred on genset even if Load Transfer is disabled in Exercise. Genset will exit from AMF
mode when the mains become healthy.
• If both exercises are scheduled at the same time, then Start time for second exercise will be
incremented by 1 min.
The Exerciser mode is only valid when Site monitoring and Cyclic modes are
disabled, and Mains Monitoring is enabled.
Manual mode
Module Operation in Manual Mode

Starting the Engine
Test mode
In manual mode (while genset is OFF) if auto key is long pressed then controller goes in Test mode.
Test mode is almost same as manual mode. Only in test mode, irrespective of auto load transfer option
enabled or disabled, Genset contactor will not get latched. If Genset contactor latching key is pressed,
then only genset contactor will get latched. Once the genset starts in test mode, Test mode timer
starts. After Stop key is pressed or this timer is over, controller will send the Stop command and genset
will stop according to stop sequence.

In case, if engine ON is detected without any start command given to GCU, it will
allow engine to stay ON and further act according to operating mode and
configuration.

GC2100 SEDEMAC
Load sensing
Load Sensing in Manual mode
In Manual mode, the load sensing is done with following configuration:
The GCU senses the load (on Mains / Genset) depending upon “Generator Contactor Latched” and
“Mains Contactor latched” inputs (if configured) and their real-time status.
In case if the inputs are not configured, the GCU will sense the load depending upon the outputs ‘’Close
Genset Contactor’’ and ‘’Close Mains Contactor’’ or ‘’Open Mains Contactor’’ and ‘’Open Genset
Contactor” being configured and depending upon their real-time status. These outputs are set through
facial keys or Contactor controlling inputs (such as ‘’Close Genset/Open Mains’’ or ‘’Close Mains/Open
Genset’’).
In case of MCP Panels, since the “Genset & Mains” contactors are not
configured, the load sensed will be treated as load on the genset only
Contactor Status inputs are not considered for load sensing in any type of
auto modes.
Features
There are some silent features that helps in saving power and other monitoring purpose.
Load Histogram
Load Histogram displays an engine run hour spent in different regimes. This mode helps user to
monitor the duration of genset running on specific percentage of load.
The load percentage is calculated based on following parameters:
1. Generator rating
2. CT ratio
Page | 44
GC2100 SEDEMAC
Alarms
When Shutdown alarm occurs controller commands genset to stop. The controller will not issue the
start command if the Shutdown alarm left unacknowledged.
When an electrical trip alarm occurs, the controller opens the genset contactor first and then it
commands the genset to stop. The controller will not issue the start command if the Electrical trip
alarm left unacknowledged.
If the warning alarm occurs in between the genset running condition, then the controller will not
issue the stop command. But if the warning alarm left unacknowledged when the genset is in stop
condition, then the genset cannot be started. Warning alarm gets auto cleared when condition gets
cleared only if auto warning clear is enabled in config file or through UI.
Notification alarms get auto cleared.

Communication protocol
The GC2100 genset controller supports a custom protocol based on MODBUS over a RS485 layer. The
GC2100 genset controller implement a custom protocol based on the standard MODBUS protocol. It
operates in a slave mode and responds to commands received from an external MODBUS master.
Connection Details
The transmission mode used by GC2100 series genset or Diesel Genset (DG) controllers is
MODBUS RTU (not MODBUS ASCII). The byte format for communication is 1 start bit, 8 data bits,
no parity bits and 1 stop bit, Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC).
The following section describe the connection details of RS485 MODBUS to SMPS MODBUS module.
On the GCU Pin 31 is represented as A, Pin 32 is represented as B and Pin 30 is represented as
ground.
Figure 25: RS485 MODBUS connection with the help of two core shielded twisted pair cable
Precautions
• Keep the slave ID of the GCU controller and the SMPS controller same, take the slave ID from
the SMPS and configure the same ID in GCU.
• Enable the GCU in the configuration of the SMPS after hardware connections are made, so the
SMPS can communicate with the GCU.
• Connect the Pin # 31 & 32 (A & B) of the GCU to the pin # A & B of the SMPS respectively and
not with any other pin.
• Connect the ground of the RS485 MODBUS module of the controller to the ground of SMPS. If
ground of the SMPS is not present, leave the ground terminal (Pin 30) of the controller open.
• Use two core shielded cable for connection.
• Use different colour wires for Pin # 31 & 32 (A & B) for easy detection and connection.
• Route the Pin # 31 & 32 (A & B) wires properly ensuring they do not get short with any other
wires.
• Do not use multi strand wires for the connection.
