Introduction
This document is designed to support a user in getting familiar with the iGUARD Digital
Generator Set Controller and how to navigate the interface, modify the settings and install and
operate the controller. Before attempting to set up the controller, be sure to read and
understand this manual in its entirety.
Product Description
Description
The iGUARD controller is a high performance, state of the art, digital generator set controller.
This robust controller features high-speed microprocessors, and high accuracy AC
measurements. The iGUARD is a menu driven system, organized by "stacks", with "substacks" where required. User connections are made via the plug in connectors on the rear of
the controller. The iGUARD controller has a textured finish; UV stabilized polycarbonate
injection molded housing, and is sealed with an “o” ring to help protect the iGUARD from the
environment. There is a back cover protecting the Energy monitoring Board (EMB) to prevent
contact with circuit board components and potentially harmful AC voltage wiring.
User Interface and Navigation
The keypad on the iGUARD is a capacitive touch sensing system. There are no mechanical
switches to wear or stick, and the technology has been time proven in many applications. It
operates in extreme temperatures, with gloves, through ice, snow, mud, grease, etc., and it
allows complete sealing of the front of the iGUARD. It does operate slightly differently than a
membrane keypad, in that there is no tactile feedback. The ‘key is pressed’ feedback is
provided by momentarily beeping the audible alarm. The keys on the keypad do the following
functions:
START
STOP
Auto/Manual
In Manual mode pressing the start pad will cause
the engine to start. In automatic mode the screen
will display an error message that system must be
in manual mode to start with the start button.
In automatic or manual mode pressing the stop pad
will stop the set. The system is forced into a
manual mode, and will not autostart until returned
to automatic mode.
Selects manual (sometimes-called local) operation
or automatic mode (system monitors a digital input
for a start signal).

iGUARD Operating Instructions
Operating Sequence
The iGUARD controller, while reprogrammable, follows a standard operating sequence. This
operating sequence is basically a set of machine states that happen in a pre-determined order.
Machine states can be set to zero if not needed, or adjusted to fit the application. For the basic
operating sequence, see the iGUARD Sequence Appendix in the Installing the
Mimic/Annunciator DM/A section, this document. The iGUARD operating sequence includes
the following modes:
Ready to Start Mode
Prestart Delay Mode
Prelube Mode
Preheat
Cranking / Crank Rest Mode
Crank Disconnect / Engine
Running Mode
Warmup Mode
Automatic start mode ready for a contact closure to initiate an
automatic start and run sequence.
A timer used to prevent nuisance starts, or to warn nearby
personnel that automatic equipment is about to start (set to 0
to bypass).
In larger generators there may be a requirement for
automatic lubrication prior to cranking (set to 0 to bypass).
Timer set to provide the correct amount of precrank operation
of the air intake heaters used to facilitate starting in cold
conditions. (Set to 0 to bypass).
Engine is attempting to start and will go through the number
of selected starting attempts.
Engine speed is greater than the crank disconnect.
Timer to allow system to run unloaded for selected time (set
to 0 to bypass).
At Load Mode
Power Good Mode
Cooldown Mode
Section 75 00-02-0522
04-06-11 - 3 -
Generator is running at load.
This mode is to prevent nuisance start/stops. The controller
continues running but monitors the remote start contact while
in this mode. The power good timer must expire before the
system can proceed to cooldown. Any further call to run
resets the power good mode timer to its preset value.
Generator runs unloaded for a preset time.

Energized to Stop
Stopped Mode
Postlube Mode
The Energized to Stop timer is ON and the Energized to Stop
output is active.
Generator has come to a complete stop.
In larger generators there may be a requirement for
automatic lubrication after a normal start/run/stop cycle
before the engine can be restarted (set to 0 to bypass). After
postlube, the system returns to Ready to start. Additionally
there are two fault shutdown modes:
Shutdown / Lockout with Cooldown Mode - In
the case of some faults the controller will open the
"at load’ contact and then go through a normal
cooldown and stop sequence, but will not allow an
automatic restart without a system reset.
Immediate Shutdown/Lockout (no Cooldown)
Mode - Because of the severity of most faults, the
controller will cause an immediate
Shutdown/Lockout without a cooldown period, and
will not allow an automatic restart without a system
reset.
Shutdown / Lockout with
Cooldown Mode
Immediate
Shutdown/Lockout (no
Cooldown) Mode
In the case of some faults the controller will open the "at
load’ contact and then go through a normal cooldown and
stop sequence, but will not allow an automatic restart without
a system reset
Because of the severity of most faults, the controller will
cause an immediate Shutdown/Lockout without a cooldown
period, and will not allow an automatic restart without a
system reset.

Programming the iGUARD from the Keypad
The iGUARD controller can be programmed in two separate ways. Most setup can be done
from the front panel. There are some parameters, such as changing passwords that require
the use of the iGCON software tool. The iGUARD programming menus can be accessed at
any time by pressing the left and right arrows at the same time. This will bring up the password
menu:
The factory defaults (and what they allow access to) for the various levels of password are:
Access Security - Allows input of 4-character security code.
PASØ - No operational Access. It allows viewing of the data screens but
parameters cannot be edited.
PAS1 - Operational Access. It allows Manual Start and Stop but parameters
cannot be edited.
PAS2 - Parameter View Access. Allows for viewing of all parameters and
editing of the following parameter settings:
Change Language
Key Sensitivity Level
Back Light On/Off
Ack Maintenance Timers
Enable Beeper
Select Pressure Units
Select Temperature Units
Modify Date
Edit Clock Start and Stop Timers
PAS3 - Parameter Edit Access. Allows for viewing and parameter editing
but does not allow calibration of AC.
PAS4 - Calibration Access. Allows calibration of the AC parameters.
PAS5 - kW Limit Edit and Config Select Access. Allows editing of kW limits
and various communication addresses.

What to do if you lose your Password
Press NEXT until you see the screen with a graphic display of the Murphy logo. Press NEXT
once to go to the system information screen.
Write down the serial number, the current date, and time showing on the real time clock
display, and contact us (918) 317-4100, ask for technical support). We will provide a temporary
password that will allow you to access the system to recover the passwords.
Acknowledging Maintenance Timers
Status/ Warning Screen - You may see this warning/status message:
This is information that one or more of your maintenance reminder timers has expired. To
acknowledge the warning and reset the timer, enter the programming mode, and go to the
Miscellaneous Parameters screen.

Press Enter and the screen should change to this display with the number quantity flashing:
Press the right arrow to reset and the display should change to:
Each timer can be acknowledged as it expires, or whenever the maintenance is done, if it
precedes the timer reaching 0.
Displaying Data
Use the Auto scroll function.
To turn the Auto scroll function ON, press the ENTER and NEXT keys at the same time. There
are three Auto scrolling speeds temporarily displayed on the top line each time ENTER and
NEXT keys are pressed (4 seconds, 8 seconds, 12 seconds). To select a different speed,
simultaneously press the ENTER and NEXT keys again to go to the next speed section. To
turn off the Auto scroll function press the EXIT and NEXT keys at the same time. If the
iGUARD is left on a non-scroll screen (like the Warnings/status screen) it will display only the
Warning/status screen.
When Programming
Touching the left arrow takes you immediately to the “TOP” of the program selection list.
The right arrow takes you immediately to the “BOTTOM” of the selection list.

remote call to run wakes the unit up. Value can be set between 30 seconds and 59 minutes 30
seconds or can be set to OFF.
15. Run to Destruct - When run to destruct is enabled, the system will only sound alarms for
errors, instead of shutting down. Since this could lead to the destruction of the equipment or
the load, there is both a menu selection and a jumper that must be physically cut (see
schematic diagram), making this a deliberate choice.
