1. General information

1.1 Warnings, legal information and safety

1.1.1 Warnings and notes

Throughout this document, a number of warnings and notes with helpful user information will be presented.
To ensure that these are noticed, they will be highlighted as follows in order to separate them from the gener­al text.

Warnings

Warnings indicate a potentially dangerous situation, which could result in death, personal in­jury or damaged equipment, if certain guidelines are not followed.

Notes

Notes provide general information, which will be helpful for the reader to bear in mind.

1.1.2 Legal information and disclaimer

DEIF takes no responsibility for installation or operation of the generator set. If there is any doubt about how
to install or operate the engine/generator controlled by the Multi-line 2 unit, the company responsible for the
installation or the operation of the set must be contacted.

The Multi-line 2 unit is not to be opened by unauthorised personnel. If opened anyway, the war­ranty will be lost.

Disclaimer

DEIF A/S reserves the right to change any of the contents of this document without prior notice.

1.1.3 Safety issues

Installing and operating the Multi-line 2 unit may imply work with dangerous currents and voltages. Therefore,
the installation should only be carried out by authorised personnel who understand the risks involved in work­ing with live electrical equipment.

Be aware of the hazardous live currents and voltages. Do not touch any AC measurement in­puts as this could lead to injury or death.

1.1.4 Electrostatic discharge awareness

Sufficient care must be taken to protect the terminal against static discharges during the installation. Once the
unit is installed and connected, these precautions are no longer necessary.

1.1.5 Factory settings

The Multi-line 2 unit is delivered from factory with certain factory settings. These are based on average values
and are not necessarily the correct settings for matching the engine/generator set in question. Precautions
must be taken to check the settings before running the engine/generator set.

4. Display and menu structure

4.1 About display and menu structures

4.1.1 LCD display

The display is a backlit LCD graphical display. The display light intensity, LED indication and contrast can be
adjusted from menu 9150.

Basically, all measured and calculated values can be read in the display. These may be selected via the PC
utility software (USW).

For selection of values, please refer to the Designer's Reference Handbook.

4.1.2 Menu structure

The display includes two menu systems which can be used without password entry:

View menu system

This is the commonly used menu system. 20 windows are configurable and can be entered by using the ar­row push-buttons.

Setup menu system (not commonly used by the operator)

This menu system is used to set up the unit, and if the operator needs detailed information that is not availa­ble in the view menu system.
Changing of parameter settings is password protected.

4.1.3 Entry window

When the unit is powered up, an entry window appears. The entry window is the turning point in the menu
structure and as such the gateway to the other menus. It can always be reached by pushing the BACK push­button three times.

The event and alarm list will appear at power-up if an alarm is present.

4.1.6 Running modes

There are five buttons, located in the lower right corner of the AGC 200 display, which can be used to change
the running mode. (Some controller types will have less than five buttons). The running mode is changed by
pressing one of the buttons. There is also a lamp test button placed in the lower right corner. The table below
explains the functionality of the buttons.

Mode Description

SEMI ● Activate by pressing the SEMI button on the front of the AGC 200

● The display push-buttons (START, STOP, GB ON, GB OFF and so on) are active and can be
used by the operator

● The regulators are also active, that is the speed control will bring the generator to nominal
speed upon start

● When pushing a breaker button for closing, the AGC 200 will synchronise (if allowed) the
breaker. When the breaker closes, the regulation continues, but no breakers are opened or
closed

TEST ● Activate by pressing the TEST button on the front of the AGC 200

● The unit will start the generator, carry out the test sequence (predefined time period) and stop
the generator again. Subsequently, the generator will return to AUTO or SEMI-AUTO mode
(defined in parameter 7043). The mains breaker will remain closed, and the generator break­er will remain open. NOTE: The test running can be: Simple test: Starting the genset without
closing the GB; Load test: Parallel to the mains and take load to a predefined value; Full test:
Transfer the load to the genset and open the MB (if the genset(s) is (are) capable of taking
the full load

AUTO ● Activate by pressing the AUTO button on the front of the AGC 200

● The unit will automatically carry out the genset/plant mode selected (AMF, fixed power, etc.)

● The display control push-buttons (START, STOP, GB ON, GB OFF) are disabled

● If the selected genset/plant mode is fixed power, mains power export, load takeover or island,
timer start/stop (week watch) or binary input, then start/stop can be used. (In PM systems
start/stop buttons can only be used from a mains unit with parameter 8021 set to local. If
used in a single DG application, start can only be set with a digital input or timer)

MAN ● Activate by pressing the MAN button on the front of the AGC 200

● The display push-buttons (START, STOP) are active and can be used by the operator

● The regulators are not active, that is speed (and voltage) control has to take place using ex­ternal controls for generator speed and possibly generator voltage control

● The breakers will be able to open or close at any time. A synchronisation check will always
be performed to ensure safe closing of the breakers

BLOCK ● Activate by pressing the OFF button on the front of the AGC 200

● The unit will not be able to start. BLOCK mode can be selected during standstill or when run­ning. If activated when running, the genset will stop and enter block mode. When block mode
is activated, no inputs will be able to start the genset. To exit block mode, press the AUTO/
SEMI or MAN button

5. Alarm handling and log list

5.1 Alarm handling

When an alarm occurs, the unit will automatically go to the alarm list, if selected (setting 6900 Alarm jump) for

display of the alarm. If setting 6900 is OFF, you must press to enter the alarm list.

If reading of the alarms is not desired, use the ESC push-button to exit the alarm list.

If you decide to enter the alarm list later, use the push-button to jump directly to the alarm list reading.

The alarm list contains both acknowledged and unacknowledged alarms provided that they are still active
(that is the alarm condition is still present). Once an alarm is acknowledged and the condition has disap­peared, the alarm will no longer be displayed in the alarm list.
This means that if there are no alarms, the alarm list will read "No alarms".

1/1 alarm (s)

This display example indicates an unacknowledged alarm. The display can show only one alarm at a time.
Therefore, all other alarms are hidden.

To see the other alarms, use the

and push-buttons to scroll in the display.

To acknowledge an alarm, place the cursor (grey area) over the channel number and then press

.

5.2 Log list

The log is divided into three different lists:

1. Events

2. Alarms

3. Battery test
The log list contains up to 150 events, the alarm list contains up to 30 historical alarms and the battery test list
contains up to 52 historical battery tests.

An event is for example closing of breaker and starting of engine. An alarm is for example over-current or
high cooling water temperature. A battery test is for example test OK or test failed.

To enter the log list:

1. Press

2. Select the needed list by using the and push-buttons (move the highlight of the list) and press
the push-button.
