Operation Modes
Changing the operation mode may be
performed via:
• a shutdown alarm class
• the HMI soft keys
• the LogicsManager

Automatic mode

Manual mode

Stop mode

Start / Stop in Manual Mode
 Start/Stop via push buttons (1)

 Conditions for “AUTO” are ignored (mains failure and remote start)
 Start prevented if active C - F class alarm
 Open / close GCB (2) and MCB (3)

Start / Stop in Auto Mode
Generator:
Start conditions Stop conditions
 LM: Start in auto is “true”  LM: Start conditions are “false”
may be used with load dependent start/stop function  Alarm class C-F detected
 LM: Start w/o load is “true”  LM: Stop in auto
 LM: Critical mode is “true”
 Loss of mains {GCB/MCB} (Emergency mode)  LM: Inhibit emergency mode
Mains voltage/frequency out of operating range
Mains rotation field wrong
“Fail to close MCB” (if parameter is enabled)

GCB
Close GCB: Open GCB:
 Gen parameters are within accepted limits  Dependent upon breaker logic (LDSS)
 Reply GCB is open  For mains decoupling
 Conditions for synchronization or
dead bus closing are met

Mains:
Close MCB: Open MCB:
 Mains are within accepted limits  Dependent upon breaker logic
 Reply MCB is open  For mains decoupling

 LM: Enable MCB is “true”

 Conditions for synchronization or
dead bus closing are met

Start / Stop Logic
Diesel engine
- Pre-glow function
- Fuel or Stop solenoid activation
- Crank/start circuit control
- Preheat / Post-heat function
Gas engine
- Ignition
- Gas valve
- Crank/start circuit control
External Logic
- Fuel Solenoid as a start request to external controllers
- External control must take care of start sequence – no start failure

Load setting file via KG1500 Setup s/w
Click on LOAD button
and browse window
opens up

Browse and select the file that needs to be uploaded to

KG-1500 and then click OPEN button

 Load setting file via KG1500 Setup s/w
After clicking open button now When to press the Setup button, the
as you can see these field gets below mentioned window is popped-up.
filled with the correct files Click on YES to continue
required for uploading the
setting in KG-1500

Once you press YES and if everything OK then setup

Enter the ECU# no and then click on SETUP will start or else it will display you the error like below
button to start the uploading of setting file if the ECU sr. no. is not matching the requirement.

And if you think it is alright click on OK to continue

FAQ
How can I reset the maintenance counter?

The maintenance hours counter decreases as the operation hours counter increases.
The maintenance days counter decreases as the Internal calendar clock increases.
When a count down timer reaches “0” an alarm is issued. The reset procedure is as
follows:

Step 1:

Enter password.
