CONTROL FOR MAINS-GENERATOR CONTACTORS
They are left to the mains and generator keys.

By pressing on the relevant keys, the load is switched from the mains to the generator and vice versa.
PREPARATION FOR GENERATOR CONTACTOR CLOSING
When there is no generator voltage, the contactor can be closed by pressing the relevant push-button.
The LED that usually signals the closing of the contactor flashes to show it has been selected.
When the voltage is normal, the contactor closes and the LED stays on with a steady light.
Cancellation of the preparation occurs in two ways:
- by pressing briefly (less than 1 sec.) Key OFF
RESET
- on de-energization of the prepared contactor.

PROTECTIONS
The generator set protection function in manual mode can be programmed in two ways:
- Display only of the fault that has intervened WITHOUT STOPPING the engine. The generator overfrequency fault is
programmed with stopping of the engine. It cannot be programmed without stopping of the engine.
- Display of the fault that has intervened WITH ENGINE STOPPING. (The power unit is programmed in this way).
AUTOMATIC
When a fault occurs on the mains, detected by the internal voltmetric relay, or by an external call, once the MAINS
FAULT STARTUP DELAY time has elapsed (programmed [*] to 1 sec.), the power unit commands the opening of
the mains contactor control, starts GLOW PLUG PREHEATING (programmed [*] to 0 sec. EXCLUDED ) time, if set,
and then starts the generator set. With engine running and generator voltage normal and once the GENERATOR
CONNECTION TO POWER USERS DELAY has elapsed (programmed [*] to 5 sec.) the generator contactor closes.
While it is running the generator set is protected from possible faults. When the mains voltage is restored and the
MAINS ACCEPTANCE time has elapsed (programmed [*] to 100 sec.), after the GENERATOR-MAINS INTERLOCK
time (programmed [*] to 1 sec.), the mains contactor closes. The COOLING TIME (programmed [*] to 100 sec.) Then
allows the engine to be cooled easily before it is stopped.
TEST
On pressing key TEST
, or positioning the external function selector on TEST, we obtain the engine startup cycle
as in automatic, and the power users remain supplied by the mains. If a mains fault, or an external call,
occurs during the test, the power unit remains in test mode, positions itself as in automatic operation and commands
the closing of the generator contactor.
AUTOMATIC TEST
ENABLED WITH POWER UNIT IN AUTOMATIC OR TEST MODE
If the lever is positioned on TEST ENGAGED the general alarm is activated intermittently (for 8 sec.). When the general
alarm is deactivated, and after a pause of 3 seconds, the engine starts and continues to run for the WEEKLY TEST
TIME (programmed [*] to 3 minutes).
This test will be repeated automatically every week on the exact day and at the hour to which the TEST ENGAGED
lever has been positioned. During the automatic test cycle, WEEKLY TEST is shown on the display.
STOPPING OF ENGINE DURING THE TEST
Press key OFF
, or position the external function selector on OFF.

OPERATION
OFF/RESET
OFF
RESET
When key is pressed, the engine cannot be started in any way and, if the running engine is
stopped without carrying out engine cooling, it reactivates the protection devices and all the stopped functions.
The mains contactor stays closed. The LEDs and the instruments are active.
It is possible to just reset the faults by pressing key briefly (less than 1 sec.).
It is not possible to reset through the external function selector.
GLOW PLUG PREHEATING

START
- In manual with key that should be kept pressed until the engine has started.
- In automatic, Test and remote control this is activated automatically before starting.
The preheating action time can be adjusted, it continues during the starting pulse and “PREHEATING” is
shown on the display. By removing the strapping [*] it is possible to stop the preheating action before startup
start.
The preheating command is inhibited as it has been programmed [*] to zero seconds.
STARTING
START
- In manual with key , in Test and with the remote control it is activated immediately after
the PREHEATING TIME (if programmed).
- In automatic, when a mains fault occurs, as detected by the internal voltmetric relay or by an external
call, and after the MAINS FAULT STARTUP DELAY (programmed [*] to 1 second) time has elapsed.
To make starting easier, a special circuit establishes a series of programmable startups (programmed [*] to
4 STARTUPS); the number of startups, the length of the pause time and the startup time can
be programmed.
STARTING FAILURE
If the whole series of attempts is unable to start the engine, at the end of this cycle STARTING FAILURE
is shown on the display and the stop signal is activated.
DETECTION OF RUNNING ENGINE

This is obtained with detection (adjustable P1) of the battery charger alternator voltage
(PERMANENT MAGNETS or PRE-EXCITATION) and from the frequency and residual voltage of
the generator. When detection has been made it disconnects the starter motor and lights the LED .
STOP
STOP
In manual mode using the button .

In Test mode when the protection systems or the remote controls intervene.
In automatic mode when the mains power returns, or when the protection systems or remote
controls intervene.
Stopping can occur in two ways:
• With the solenoid deactivated while the engine is running and activated when stopped. This condition is
maintained during the STOP TIME (programmed [*] to 20 seconds) after the engine stopped detection.
• With solenoid or electrovalve activated; while the engine is running and deactivated when stopped.
This condition is maintained even when the engine is stationary.
[*] For programming see page 9
GB CAM-680 5
REMOTE STARTING, STOPPING AND TEST CALL CONTROLS
ENABLED WITH POWER UNIT IN AUTOMATIC AND IN TEST MODE
CALL
On closing the call contact (see page 10), operation is as with mains fault.
ENABLED WITH CONTROL UNIT IN AUTOMATIC
STARTING
When the startup contact (see page 10) is closed REMOTE STARTUP is shown on the display. After the
REMOTE STARTUP DELAY time (programmed [*] to 1 sec.) has elapsed, the startup begins, the general
alarm is activated intermittently (for 8 seconds), then the general alarm is deactivated and after a pause of 3
seconds the startup cycle begins and operation is as with mains fault.
When the startup contact is opened operation is as with mains return.
TEST
When the test contact is closed (see page 10) REMOTE TEST is shown on the display.
The general alarm is activated intermittently (for 8 seconds). When the general alarm is deactivated, after a
pause of 3 seconds the startup cycle begins. If there is a mains fault during the test, the control unit remains
in test mode and as in automatic, commands the closing of the generator contactor that will reopen when the
test ends.
When the test contact is opened operation is as with mains return.

If the automatic test is in progress the engine continues to run until the end of the automatic test.
STOP
When the stop contact is closed, REMOTE STOP is shown on the display. The control unit does not allow
any startup operation, and if the generator set is running it is stopped.
The intervention of the remote control is shown on the display.
EMERGENCY STOP
The emergency stop can be activated in all working conditions, by mounting one or more click down push
buttons linked to a stop system which is active while the unit is running. The stop is immediate (without
engine cooling) and EMERGENCY STOP is shown on the display..
STOPPING FAILURE
This intervenes if the engine running signal is detected 60 seconds after the stop command.
STOPPING FAILURE will be read on the display.
VOLTMETRIC MAINS AND GENERATOR RELAYS

INSIDE THE CONTROL UNIT
These check the mains and generator set voltage. They intervene when there is overvoltage, or voltage
value failure or lowering even on just one phase.
THREE-PHASE MAINS RELAY

When voltage has been detected on the three phases, with a value within the preset limits, and after the
mains voltage present delay (programmed [*] to 100 sec.), the generator set stops. When the voltage goes
up or down, so going outside the normal range, the generator set starts (for the starting and stopping
procedures see automatic operation on page 4).
TWO-PHASE GENERATOR RELAY

When voltage is detected on the two phases of the running generator set, with a value within the preset
limits, and after the GENERATOR CONNECTION TO POWER USERS delay (programmed [*] to 5 sec.) the
generator contactor is closed. When the voltage goes up or down, so going outside the normal range, the
generator contactor becomes de-energized.

6 GB CAM-680
OPERATION
GENERATOR SET PROTECTION DEVICES

The intervention of the fault is displayed; it can cause the engine to be stopped and activates the general
alarm. SEE TABLE on page 14.
FAULT DISPLAY
The display usually shows the mains voltmeters. W hen the engine is running the generator set instruments are
shown.
When there is a fault, instead of the reading, the display shows the intervened fault message, and the
associated LED flashes.
The faults – low oil pressure, engine overtemperature, generator overfrequency, low cooling liquid level, no
fuel and alternator not recharged – are signalled with LEDs as well as being shown on the display.
HOW TO SEE THE INSTRUMENT READINGS AGAIN
The measurements can be read by pressing key for 1 second. The display will resume showing the
previous fault 20 seconds after the last pressing of the key.
FAULT RESET
O FF
RESET
The protection devices and all the stopped functions are re-activated by pressing key , or by moving
the function selector, to be connected externally, to OFF.
GENERAL ALARM
This is produced by mounting an external acoustic signal, linked to the appropriate terminal.
It can be arranged so that it is activated continually or for a set time.
When key is pressed the general alarm is silenced.

.
The intermittency is activated for an 8-second pause before beginning the genset startup for the TEST
function and remote startup.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
When preventive maintenance operations need to be carried out, the figures of the hour-meter flash while the
number of the intervened maintenance appears and LED lights up .
The timing for the maintenance operations and the procedure for zeroing the time up maintenance
indication can be programmed by the manufacturer of the genset unit.

NOTICES
Used only to check and command a genset unit. It commands the mains and generator contactors to supply the user. It
has been designed to be installed only inside on an electrical panel as a single unit and so that it can be connected to
other components (contactors, fuses, thermo-magnetic switches, etc.) which the installer will have available to complete
the plant.
Warning: Components carrying dangerous voltage levels

Only assigned and suitably trained personnel are allowed access to the control unit. No
maintenance operations are permitted unless the plant is disconnected from the mains and the
battery. As an additional safety measure, the plant phases should be short-circuited and earthed.
Not withstanding the above, only assigned and trained personnel can perform the following
operations with the plant on:
- make a visual inspection of the control unit, the connections and their markings;
- measure the voltage and/or current values;
- programming of the functions.
These interventions, however, must be performed using equipment which ensures appropriate levels of electrical
protection.
Warning:
Adhere closely to the following advice
- When making connections always follow the instructions and the Wiring Diagram on page 10-11.
- Any interventions on the unit must be performed with the motor stationary and terminal 50 of the starting motor
disconnected.
- Check that the consumption of the connected equipment are compatible with the described technical characteristics.
- Install in such a way that there is always adequate heat disposal.
- Always install under other equipment which produces or spreads heat.
- Handle and connect without mechanically stressing the electronic card.
- Make sure that no copper conductor cuttings or other waste material fall inside the equipment.
- Never disconnect the terminals of the battery with engine running.
- Never use a battery charger for the emergency start-up; the engine could be damaged.
- In order to safeguard people and equipment, before connecting an external battery charger, disconnect the electrical
system terminals from the battery poles.
THIS CONTROL UNIT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR OPERATING IN THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
- Where the environmental temperature is outside the limits indicated in the manual.
- Where the air pressure and temperature variations are so rapid as to produce exceptional condensation.
- Where there are high levels of pollution caused by dust, smoke, vapour, salts and corrosive or radioactive particles.
- Where there are high levels or heat from radiation caused by the sun, ovens or the like.
- Where attacks from mould or small animals are possible.
- Where there is the risk of fire or explosions.
- Where the equipment can receive strong vibrations or knocks.
- Where the equipment is protected by barriers or casing with protection level less than IP20.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
This control unit functions correctly only if inserted in plants which conform with the CE marking standards; it meets the
exemption requirements of the standard EN50082-2 but it cannot be excluded that malfunctions could occur in extreme
cases due to particular situations.
The installer has the task of checking that the disturbance levels are within the requirements of the standards.
CONDUCTION AND MAINTENANCE

The following maintenance operations should be performed every week:
- check that the indicators function;
- check the batteries;
- check that the conductors are tight, check the condition of the terminals.
UNLESS WE MAKE A WRITTEN DECLARATION STATING THE CONTRARY, THIS CONTROL UNIT IS NOT
SUITABLE FOR USE AS A CRITICAL COMPONENT IN EQUIPMENT OR PLANTS RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEPING
PERSONS OR OTHER LIVING BEINGS ALIVE.
