3.1 SAFETY INFORMATION (CONT’D)
The following general safety precautions should be headed:
1. The WaveNet may carry high Voltage/Current which can cause serious injury or death.
Extreme caution must be exercised when connections are being installed to or from the
controller. All wiring connections must be de-energized before any installations are performed.
Wiring of the WaveNet should be performed by qualifi ed electricians only.
2. AC power may carry high Voltage/Current which can cause serious injury or death. De-energize all AC power sources before any connections are performed.
3.
NEVER energize AC power with AC current sensing connector unplugged. An energized,
unplugged connector could result in severe injury or death. Never unplug an energized connector.
4.
WaveNet is connected on a NMEA 2000 network. Installation must be made by an NMEA
2000 certifi ed technician.
3.2 WAVENET 12/24VDC SYSTEM OPERATION
The WaveNet controller can be placed in either 12V or 24V electrical systems.
3.2.1 RELAYS
The WaveNet controller is designed to operate on 12 or 24 VDC systems. When operating on 12VDC
systems the fuel and extra outputs require 12VDC relays, and 24VDC relays when operating on
24VDC systems. The WaveNet comes preinstalled with the correct relays depending on the product
number specifi ed when ordered.
Contact Northern Lights if replacement relays are required.
Relays for 12 or 24VDC system operation are as follows:
• 22-42047 for 12VDC operation
• 22-40085 for 24VDC operation
3.2.2 RELAY FUSES
CAUTION: needs to be taken when connecting relay outputs to an inductive load. Due to the
inductive nature of certain loads (starters, pull coils), initial current draw may be higher than stated
in the load specs which could damage the onboard relays.
Output relays are protected by onboard 40A fuse protection. Smaller amperage fuses from many
automotive stores may be used in place of the higher current 40A. If installing lower amperage fuse
protection, be certain that the current draw on each relay does not exceed the fuse current limit.
An approved 40A fuse is: LITTLEFUSE – 257040 (32VDC, 40A, auto fast action)
Figure 1 on page 6 shows the location of all terminals on the controller and the numbering of all
circuits.

4 WAVENET OPERATION & BASIC USER CONFIGURATION
4.1 POWER-UP
The very fi rst time the controller is powered up the unit will go through an initialization where all the
confi gurable settings are set to factory default values. This will happen only on the fi rst power-up.
Once the initialization is fi nished, the controller will display the fi rmware and hardware version on the
screen and fl ash the indicator lamps on the side of the controller (this will also occur during all subsequent
power-ups).
The controller will then enter the OFF mode. By default, it is possible to manually start the generator in
the OFF Mode. The user can disable manual start in OFF mode in the basic menu (in which case the
WaveNet must be in the AUTO mode to manually start the generator). See section 4.9.2 on page 16.
Pressing the Info key will cause the controller to enter the AUTO mode. From this mode, the user
can manually put the controller into RUN mode (i.e. start the generator) manually or from a WaveNet
Remote panel.
The controller has the ability to remember whether it was in the OFF or AUTO mode the last time it
was powered up and will reenter that mode when it is repowered.
4.2 CONTROLLER ALARMING
If the emergency stop input of the digital input terminal is not connected to ground the controller will
alarm and display “Emergency Stop” when powered. Emergency Stop also forces the controller to the
OFF mode.
To prevent this ground the emergency stop input (pin 9) to either of the grounds (pins 11 or
12) on the digital input terminal. See Figure 1 on page 6.
4.3 EMERGENCY STOP
The WaveNet has a dedicated emergency stop input that when open will stop the gen-
erator immediately and the controller will enter the OFF Mode (see below for more information on the OFF Mode) and remain in the OFF Mode until the emergency stop input is
grounded. While the emergency stop input is active the WaveNet will sound an audible
alarm and display “Emergency Stop” on the LCD display. See Figure 1 on page 6 for the
location of the emergency stop input.
OWN-ADV 01/12
11
4.4 CONTROLLER STATES
The WaveNet incorporates 3 primary modes of operation:
1. OFF Mode
2. AUTO Mode
3. RUN Mode
1. OFF Mode – When the WaveNet
is set to the OFF mode, automatic
starting will be disabled. No automatic
controls will be initiated. The OFF
mode may be initiated when no
generator controls are required or
when the controller confi guration
requires adjustment by pressing the
Stop button. The user can disable
manual start in OFF mode in the basic
menu. See section 4.9.2 on page 16.
All of the failures and most of the warnings are disabled when the controller is in the OFF mode.
The controller will beep every few seconds to alert the user that the unit is in the OFF mode and
cannot automatically start. To silence this alarm, press the Stop key.
In OFF mode, you may simultaneously press the Up and Down arrow keys to perform a lamp
test.
2. AUTO Mode - When the WaveNet is set
to the AUTO mode by pressing the Info key,
automatic starting will be enabled.

While in AUTO mode the controller will
display engine temperature, battery
voltage and engine hours.
OWN-ADV 01/12
12
4.4 CONTROLLER STATES (CONT’D)
3. RUN Mode – The controller starts the engine/generator and enters the RUN mode
when it receives the command from a WaveNet Remote panel or the user manually
starts the engine/generator by pressing the Start key.
The controller will automatically shut the
engine/generator down and re-enter the
auto mode if it initiated an engine/generator
start. When the controller is in the OFF
mode automatic starting is disabled.
When the controller is in the RUN mode,
generator parameters will be displayed on
the screen to allow the user to monitor the
engine status. These include engine
speed, generator voltage and current, and
engine temperature as well as others. The
parameters are displayed in groups and the screen scrolls between the various groups.
The Page Roll Display menu option controls how long each parameter group is
displayed on the
screen before moving on to the next group. See Table 5 on page 17 for
more information.
If an analog input is set to a Switch the WaveNet will display “SW” where normally the
value is displayed. If the analog input is set to an Input Pin then the actual value of the
input will be displayed.
4.4.1 LOCKING THE WAVENET SCREEN WHILE IN RUN MODE
When in the RUN mode the WaveNet LCD screen can be locked to display a particular parameter
group. To do this press the Up and Down keys to scroll to the parameter group you wish to view
and then press the Enter key to lock the screen. You will see a lock symbol displayed on the top
right hand side of the display just under the date and time.
To unlock the screen press Enter again or use the arrow keys to scroll to a different parameter
group which causes the lock symbol to disappear. The screen will automatically unlock after 10
minutes.
4.5 WAVENET START / STOP BEHAVIOR
There are three ways to start the generator (start conditions):
1. Start key – Located on the WaveNet front panel.
2. Remote WaveNet panel Start key
3. Modbus – Sending a “Start” using the appropriate register.
OWN-ADV 01/12
13
4.5 WAVENET START / STOP BEHAVIOR (CONT’D)
When the controller is in the AUTO mode the three manual start conditions above can be used
to start the generator. When the controller is in the RUN mode it will display the reason for start
on the screen (NMEA 2000 Run, Manual Run).
Stopping the Generator
If the controller is in the RUN mode due the modbus, for the fi rst 10s either of the two can be
used to place the controller back in the OFF state. After this 10s period only the start condition
that caused the start can be used to place the controller back in the AUTO or OFF mode. The
Stop key on the front panel can be used to place the WaveNet in OFF regardless of the start
condition.
Preventing a Stop when in Cool Down
An exception to the above is that once the WaveNet is in cool down and another start condition
was received the controller will exit cool down and remain running. It will display the new start
condition on the screen.
4.6 GENERATOR STARTING AND STOPPING
The WaveNet startup and shutdown behavior can be set by the user from the Advanced menu
(password protected) such as the amount of time to wait before starting, whether to preheat and for
how long, the crank time, etc. See sections 5.4.1 Startup Sequence and 5.4.2 Shutdown Sequence
starting on page 34 for more information on the options for starting and stopping the generator
respectively.
4.7 CONTROLLER SLEEP
The controller has a low power sleep mode that it can enter when in the OFF or AUTO states. In this
state the LCD screen backlighting is turned off. The time it takes to enter the sleep mode is confi gu-
rable in the menu. It is recommended that the Sleep Delay is set as short as possible to prolong the
life of the backlighting and to reduce battery consumption.
The backlight display will illuminate automatically when a key is pressed. A key press will only cause
the controller to exit the sleep mode. The key must be pressed again to perform its normal function.
OWN-ADV 01/12
14
4.8 WAVENET MENU SYSTEM OPERATION
The WaveNet incorporates a menu system to allow the end user to adjust basic settings.
In the OFF state press Enter to access the
WaveNet menu system. This is called the
Basic Menu. The following keys perform the
menu navigation:
1. Scroll up using the Up key
2. Scroll down using the Down key
3. Enter menus by pressing the Enter key.
Each menu has a “Back” selection. To go back to the previous menu scroll up to the Back selection
and press the Enter key. When in the basic menu you can go back to the OFF mode by pressing
the Stop key.
4.9 BASIC MENU
When you press the Enter key in the OFF mode you will enter the Basic Menu which includes the
Clock Setup, Basic Setup, Advanced Setup, and Failure History submenus.
Contrast Adj, Page Roll Delay, State Roll Delay, Sleep
Delay, Maintenance, Not In Auto, Off Mode Start
Failure History
4.9.1 CLOCK SETUP
The Clock Setup menu will allow you to set the clock. The clock is important if you are planning to
use the event log (records all failures and warnings and when they occurred).
The WaveNet internal clock information can remain “in memory” for approximately 2 weeks
when no DC power is supplied to the controller. Two week memory storage is available in a
completely charged controller clock. DC power is required to be supplied continually to the
WaveNet for approximately 1 hour to allow a complete clock charge.
4.9.2 BASIC SETUP
The Basic Setup menu will allow the user to customize the basic features of the WaveNet to their
preference.
The Contrast Adjustment allows the user to adjust the contrast of the LCD.
The Page Roll Delay controls how long each group of parameters are displayed in the RUN state
(i.e. when the engine/generator is running) before displaying the next set of parameters.
The second line of the WaveNet LCD screen is usually dedicated to displaying warnings,
and events. The State Roll Delay determines how long the warning or event message is
displayed before moving on to the next message.
Setting the State Roll Delay to a larger value may cause some warning or event
messages to not be displayed if the event or warning is of a short duration.
The Sleep Delay determines how long to wait after the last key press before turning off the LCD
backlighting.
ler exits
The Sleep Delay also controls the automatic exit from the menu system. First the control-
to the Basic Menu after the fi rst sleep delay, exits to the OFF state after the second sleep
delay, and fi nally goes into sleep mode after the third sleep delay. The Sleep Delay does not work
in the RUN Mode or during cranking.
The controller can be made to NOT sound the alarm when the controller is not in the AUTO mode.
This is controlled by the Not In Auto setting.
The OFF ModeStart setting can be set to Enable to allow a manual start from the OFF mode.
Otherwise a manual run can only be performed when the controller is in the AUTO mode.

4.9.3 EVENT HISTORY LOG
The WaveNet incorporates an event history logging
system. When engine failures or events occur, an
entry is created in the WaveNet Event History Log.
See Table 6 – Event Log Entries below for the possible
events that are stored.
A total of 70 entries can be recorded. Entries may be viewed simply by scrolling up or down using
the Up and Down keys. In addition to the entry reason information, the associated date and time of
the entry will be displayed.
The 70 entries are subdivided into a maximum of 30 events and 40 failures. This prevents one
type from fl ushing the other types from the log.
Simply scroll through the Failure History Log by
pressing the Up or Down arrow keys located on
the WaveNet.
The event history log can store up to 30 event and 40 failures entries. If these are
exceeded the oldest entry is replaced with the newest entry. The events and failures are
displayed together in the log in reverse chronological order (i.e. newest entry fi rst).

from a Digital Input, Analog Input, AC Voltage, AC Current, Speed Signal Input, as well as others. The
Advanced Setup section of this manual will give more information of the specifi c warning and failures for
each type of input.
When a warning occurs, the second line (the area under the time and date display) of the LCD is used to
display the warning text. Also, after the warning is displayed, instructions are displayed showing the user
how to silence the warning. When in the AUTO or RUN modes the instructions are to press the Info key
and when in the OFF mode press the Stop key.

See section 4.13 on page 22 for more information
about the EPS Supplying Load.
A solid red illuminated LED represents a general Failure
condition.

4.12 WARNINGS AND FAILURES (CONT’D)
When a failure occurs (although most failures only occur in the RUN mode, the Low Fuel Level and
Low Coolant Level failures occur in any state including OFF and AUTO) the controller exits the RUN
mode and goes to the FAILURE mode – turning off the Fuel output and other outputs on or off depending
on the advanced settings – and displays the failure message. The alarm will sound and remain on until
it is silenced by the user. The Info key can be pressed to silence the alarm. Once the alarm is silenced it
can be reset by pressing the Info key and then the Stop key. This returns the controller to the OFF mode.
The failure is recorded in the event log accessible from the Basic Menu.
4.13 GENSET ONLINE
When the generator is started and load is detected on the generator when the WaveNet is in the RUN
mode the “Genset Online” LED on the WaveNet front panel will turn green. This indicates that the
generator
(e.g. the WaveNet is cranking, preheating, etc.) the WaveNet terminates starting and enters the FAILURE mode and the “Genset Online” LED on the WaveNet front panel will turn red.
The generator is considered loaded when either the AC current is equal to or greater than 5% of the over
current failure set point or if the EPS Supplying Load Switched Input is active.
is supply load as normal. If load is detected on the generator when it is not in the RUN mode
5. ADV ANCED SETUP
The WaveNet incorporates an Advanced Setup menu. The possible
advanced menu selections are covered in this section. Only
advanced and knowledgeable users should change these parameters.
Before entering the Advanced menu a password is required to be
entered. The password will consist of a four digit number. Each
number needs to be selected using the up or down arrows on the
WaveNet. Simply choose the correct password number for each
selected position by scrolling to the proper number followed
by the Enter key. The default password is 0 0 0 0.
The password may be changed anytime. See Password Setup section.
The Advanced Setup menu on the WaveNet is shown to the right.

Analog Inputs:
These control all aspects of the specifi c analog input listed in the left column
such as whether it is a switch, sender, or obtained from NMEA2000. You can
also set the input you want it to connect to. The warnings and failures as well
as open and shorted sender detection shutdowns are also confi gurable.

Outputs Setup
This menu allows you to assign a feature/action to one of eight digital outputs.
For example you can turn on a digital output when an under-speed failure
occurs.
Inputs Setup
This menu allows you to assign features/warnings, for example low oil
pressure, to one of eight digital inputs.
Battery Setup
This menu controls the settings for the battery under and over voltage
warnings and failures.
Set PasswordThe advanced menu requires a password for access. The user can change the
password here. The default password is 0000.
Set Maintain
This menu controls the service notifi cation feature for regular maintenance.
The user can enable/disable the feature and set the service interval. A
technician can reset the service interval here. On reset the service counts
down to the next service.
Set ModbusThis sets the modbus slave address and baud rate.
Common Faults
The user can select a group of failures, warnings, and events that when
triggered will cause a digital output to turn on. The user also needs to select
this feature in the digital outputs menu for one of the outputs.
Set Dummy
Load
This contains the logic to turn on and off a digital output to place an additional
load on a generator. The user can select the switch-on and switch-off current
thresholds.
NMEA2000
Setup
The user on selecting the instance ID of the engine for setup with third party
devices on the NMEA2000 network. The user can also select the shutdown
procedure of remote controllers.
