(Genset alarms):
Emergency Stop.
Genset contactor switching failure Alarm.
Genset voltage asymmetry.
Maximum genset voltage.
Minimum genset voltage.
Maximum genset Frequency.
Minimum genset Frequency.
Erroneous phase sequence of the genset.
(Mains alarms)

The CEC6.2 distinguishes among anomalies
which cause the stop of the engine (alarms
with generating sets stop), deactivation
of the genset contactor (alarms with
Interruption of the installation feeding) and
errors that does not cause the engine stop
(warnings).

for new configurations

When an alarm or warning is detected, the

controller produces an acoustic alarm, at
the same time the digital alarm output
(AL) activates and the LED of RESET button
flashes; this status will remain the same as
long as the failure condition continues for a
programmable period of time.
The LED of the RESET button lights
when alarms or warnings are active or
in need of acknowledgement.

Alarms referred to the LED flickering associated

to Mains status.
Alarms referred to the LED flickering associated
to Genset status.
Alarms referred to the engine status produce a
flickering associated to engine status.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CEC6 controller unit is a net
sings supervision equipment,
and control and supply supplier
through generating set. The
controller unit consists of 2
different modules:
1. The VISUALIZATION module
2. The MEASUREMENTS module
VISUALIZATION MODULE
The visualization module provides
information about the status of the
device and, at the same time, allows
the user to interact with it. With this
visualization module the user is able
to control, program and configure
the functions of the unit. It consists
on a backlit display and various
LEDs for monitoring the status of
the controller and buttons that allow
the user to control, program and
configure the functions of the unit.
MEASUREMENTS MODULE
The measurements module controls
and monitors the control board. It is
located in the rear part of the panel,
in order to reduce the wiring and to
avoid electromagnetic disturbances.
Every signal, sensor and actuator is
connected to this module
The connection between the
measure module and visualization
mode is made by means of a CAN
BUS (Communication Bus).
This produces an interconnection
between additional modules which
guarantees the proper working of
the controller.

CEC6 visualization module

1. VISUALIZATION MODULE
Backlit display (4 lines of 20 digits).
Note: The display comes in low consumption (off the
backlighting) after 10 minutes without any detectable
pulse on the keyboard.
9 BUTTONS

2 contactor control push buttons: GROUP/GEN
and RED/MAINS.
Push buttons with LED:
3 Control board push buttons: START, STOP, RESET.
4 Control mode push buttons: AUTO, MAN, TEST
and LOCKED
Electric power status LEDs and contactor status:
Electric power status LEDs
Mains power status.
Engine status.
Genset power supply status.

2. MEASUREMENTS MODULE
The measurements module provides the following
readings of the electric mains supply:
Phase to neutral voltage.
Phase to phase voltage.
Phase Amperage.
Frequency.
Real, apparent and reactive powers.
(Intensity transformer option).
Power factor and mains cos Phi.
(Intensity transformer option).
Generator instant power (KwH)
and historical power (day, month, year).
Engine characteristics:
Digital inputs:
3 inputs to do the following functions:
Generating set contactor confirmation.
Mains contactor confirmation.
Free programmation: (Ex. Emergency stop)
The CEC6.2 has 3 outputs incorporated relays with
the following functions:
Mains contactor Output. It allows the installation
feeding through the mains voltage.
Genset contactor Output. It allows the installation
feeding through the genset voltage.
Genset Start output through a free voltage contactor. It
allows the Start of the gensets which are manager by
other control panel models.

PHR6 measurements module

START OPTION WHEN

MAINS VOLTAGE DROPS
(CEM6+CEC6.2).
There is an option to convert a generating set
with manual start into an automatic one, that
works when th e mains voltage drops. This Genset will run in a emergency situation and provides
a continuous power when there is not supply
from the mains.
In order to do the change, we must add:
1- A battery charger to the manual control panel.
2- A new switching control panel, made up by
a switching control device (CEC6.2) plus the
switching equipment (i.e. contactors).
The M & G symbols in the front panel will only
be seen active, when the switching controller is
connected. M mains power supply contactor is
active, G Generator set contactor is active.

ADVANTAGES
HIGH PROTECTION
Protection for the Genset, as well as the
different instruments and devices connected
to the genset. Protection for: Overvoltage,
Undervoltage, Asymmetry, Overamperage,
Overfrequence, underfrequence, Overload,
Incorrect genset phase sequence, inverse power,
etc. Moreover, we can also include the CEM
protection alarms in case of CEM6 + CEC6.2
configuration.
COMPLETE HANDFUL OF MEASURES
Allows the reading of a handful of measures
with no need of additional instruments or
external gauges. Apart from protection, offers
continuously (just in case to include CEM6 +
CEC6 option) the parameters of genset works
and the digital readings for: Voltage, amperage,
frequency, Fuel Level, tachometer, (hourcounter),
power consumption, battery alternator voltage,
battery voltage, engine temperature*, oil
pressure*, Current power measures, cosine
of phi per phase, reading and situation of the
programmable inputs, Total energy consumption
measures (day, month and year**), Alarm control.
GREAT VERSATILITY
These module systems allow the adaptation and
growing with the market demand and the law
requirements. The modularity allows to have a
sharp growth and all-purpose components (even
with different types of engines). Depends of
the plate location is possible to obtain different
configurations. We start from a standard design
and according to the needs it is possible to
develop new extensions.
Install only the necessary elements. Base stock
reduction. The same control panel for different
voltage. Electrical Supply voltage: 12/24V.

* Only with the corresponding sensors installed.

SIMPLE
Installation is really simple. Wiring system is
shortened. Easy to turn a manual device system
into automatic and vice versa. With one simple
programming of the control panel you can adjust
measures and levels (i.e. automatic filling of
the fuel tank). Power outputs remain protected.
More than 64 nodes and more than 1.000 meters
without signal repeater.
FAST PROGRAMMING:
Possibility to customize the features of the
control panel to your own application. Apart from
programming measure parameters, thresholds,
alarms, etc.
DIFFERENT STARTING MODE
Manual Start, Automatic Start, Mains failure, or
free voltage contact
NEW BUSINESS LINES
This control panel allows the creation of
new business lines and different managing
possibilities since it contains:
Preventive maintenance.
Fungible.
Routes.
Genset Global positioning.
Remote control.
Antitheft follow up.
Protection/security.

** Only with programming timer.
