These are the Installation instructions for DEIF's Advanced Genset Controller, AGC 150. The Installation instructions provide
information for the correct installation of the controller, with primary focus on the physical installation of the equipment.
DANGER!
Read these instructions before installation of the AGC 150 controller, to avoid personal injury and damage to the
equipment.
1.1.2 Intended users of the Installation instructions
The Installation instructions are primarily intended for the people, who mount and wire up the controller. Designers may find it useful
to refer to the Installation instructions, when developing the system's wiring diagrams, and operators may find it useful to refer to the
Installation instructions while troubleshooting.

1.2 Warnings and safety
1.2.1 Safety during installation and operation
Installing and operating the controller may require work with dangerous currents and voltages. The installation must only be carried
out by authorised personnel who understand the risks involved in working with electrical equipment.
DANGER!
Hazardous live currents and voltages. Do not touch any terminals, especially the AC measurement inputs and the relay
terminals. Touching the terminals could lead to injury or death.
1.2.2 Disable the breakers and the engine start
Disconnect or disable the breakers before connecting the controller power supply. Do not enable the breakers until after the wiring
and controller operation are thoroughly tested.
DANGER!
Unintended breaker closing can cause deadly and/or dangerous situations.
Disconnect or disable or block the engine start before connecting the controller power supply. Do not enable the engine start until
after the wiring and controller operation are thoroughly tested.
DANGER!
Unintended engine starts can cause deadly and/or dangerous situations.
1.2.3 Factory settings
The controller is delivered pre-programmed from the factory with a set of default settings. These settings are based on typical values
and may not be correct for your system. You must therefore check all parameters before using the controller.
1.2.4 Electrostatic discharge
Electrostatic discharge can damage the controller terminals. You must protect the terminals from electrostatic discharge during the
installation. When the controller is installed and connected, these precautions are no longer necessary.
1.2.5 Data security
To minimise the risk of data security breaches DEIF recommends to:
•As far as possible, avoid exposing controllers and controller networks to public networks and the Internet.
•Use additional security layers like a VPN for remote access, and install firewall mechanisms.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS UK Page 4 of 22

•Restrict access to authorised persons.
1.3 Legal information
1.3.1 Third party equipment
DEIF takes no responsibility for the installation or operation of any third party equipment, including the genset. Contact the genset
company if you have any doubt about how to install or operate the genset.
1.3.2 Warranty
CAUTION
The AGC 150 controller is not to be opened by unauthorised personnel. If opened anyway, the warranty will be lost.
1.3.3 Disclaimer
DEIF A/S reserves the right to change any of the contents of this document without prior notice.
The English version of this document always contains the most recent and up-to-date information about the product. DEIF does not
take responsibility for the accuracy of translations, and translations might not be updated at the same time as the English document.
If there is a discrepancy, the English version prevails.
The AGC 150 is a controller containing all necessary functions for protection and control of a genset, a mains breaker, and a bus tie
breaker. It can be used as a single controller for one genset, or a number of controllers can be connected in a complete power
management system for synchronising projects, island applications or running parallel to mains.
The AGC 150 is an economical solution for genset builders, who need a flexible generator protection and controller for small to large
genset applications.
The AGC 150 contains all necessary 3-phase measuring circuits, and all values and alarms are presented on the sunlight readable
LCD display screen.
2.1.2 Controller variants
The AGC 150 controller comes in these variants:
•Genset controller
•Mains controller
•BTB controller

3-phase application (3 wires)
When three-phase distribution systems are used, the neutral line (N) is only necessary if it is a three-phase + neutral system. If the
distribution system is a three-phase system without neutral, then do not connect the terminals 62 and 66.

5.3 DC connections
5.3.1 Digital inputs
In order to be EN60255 compliant, when wiring is more than 10 m, a 4007 diode must be connected on each input.
