3 Attempt Automatic Generator Control Module AECM104FBSi
Suitable for single and three phase generators
.
DESCRIPTION
The Model AECM104FBSi is a new generation of AECM designed to automatically / remotely and manually start and stop the engine.It will indicate the operational status and fault conditions, automatically shut down the engine and indicate the start engine failure by flashing "START FAIL" LED on the front panel. Other faults are indicated by steady LED. Operation of the module is via 2 position rocker switch mounted on the front panel with “STOP/AUTO” and "RUN" positions. Remote control of the module is via terminal 1.
START (example). Front switch is in “STOP/AUTO” position and remote start is active.
0.5 second after the fuel relay is energized, the 3 attempt start will begin its start sequence: the start relay will energize, feeding battery +ve on terminal 7 to terminal 2 and thence on to the start circuit. The crank period is set for 12 seconds. If the engine has not fired by the end of 1st attempt, the starter is turned off for a 20 sec. period. The sequence will then repeat up to a maximum number of start attempts. Following a successful start, sensed when AC alternator's voltage rises above 40% of nominal, the crank relay is de-energized and latched out to prevent re-engagement of the starter with the engine running.
START WITH PREHEAT (example).
Front switch is in “STOP/AUTO” position, pre-heat enabler (DIP switch 1) is ON, remote start is active.
When 10 second pre-heating cycle is timed out and flashing LED on the panel is turned off, the module will begin its start sequence: the fuel solenoid relay is energized feeding bttery +ve on terminal 7 to terminal 5 and thence to the fuel solenoid circuit, the start relay will energize, feeding battery +ve on terminal 7 to terminal 2 and thence on to the start circuit. If the engine has not fired by the end of 1st attempt, the starter is turned off for a resting period. The sequence will then repeat up to a maximum number of start attempts. Following a successful start, sensed when AC alternator's voltage rises above 40% of nominal, the crank relay is de-energized and latched out to prevent re-engagement of the starter with the engine running.
NOTE
The starter relay can only energize for 2nd and 3rd crank cycle if “Low Oil Pressure” is sensed, to confirm that the engine is stationary. This is designed to prevent damage to the starter and ring gear in the event of the control module not sensing that the engine has started (i.e. terminals 11 and 12 are not connected to the alternator AC output). Should the engine still fail to start after the maximum number of attempts, “START FAIL” LED is displayed and the starter is latched out until reset via “STOP” position of front switch or via terminal 1 if the engine start was initially made via remote start signal.
Relay outputs are provided for:
Fuel Solenoid output
(available)
Starter motor output
(available)
Preheat output
(optional)
Load control output
(optional)
The relays supply positive plant supply out.
Configurable inputs are available for:
Low Oil Pressure.
High Engine Temperature.
Remote Start.
AC alternator monitor.
Spare alarm input (emergency stop) to give protection expansion.
BVS sensor (optional)
Multiple alarm channels are provided to monitor the following:
Under/Over speed (speed fault) This sensor can be enabled / disabled via DIP switch 2
Low oil pressure
High engine temperature
Fail to Start
Emergency stop button status
The AECM104FBSi series modules have been designed for front panel mounting. The module is fitted into the 68X68mm cut-out with the fixing clips removed. These are then fitted from the rear.
