 Feature-Option Details
H606 H611

H605

Basic Control:
– H605: Graphical Display
– H606: Bargraph ALL STANDARD
– H611: Basic Control
 Paralleling Options
• H612: Isolated Bus/Manual Parallel
– Lowest cost, semi-auto parallel
– Does not automatically parallel
• H613: Isolated Bus Parallel
– Used for applications with transfer switches
• H614: Utility Paralleling/Single
– PLTx Applications ONLY, expected to be low usage
– May need to add H619 or H620
• H615: Utility Paralleling/Multiple Gensets
– Max feature version of software
– Can be used on any paralleling application
 Power Transfer Options
• H616: Open Transition Transfer
– Similar in function to PLTO or OTPC
• H617: Fast Closed Transition Transfer
– Similar function to Asco CTT or PLTH
– Genset still provides active synchronizing
• H618: Soft Closed Transition Transfer
– Similar in function to PLTS and PLTE
• active synchronizing, ramping on/off between live sources
– Probably need utility protection that is NOT included
