GPU – User’s manual
This manual gives guidelines to installation of the DEIF Multi-line 2 generator control and
protection units. It is, however, not a complete installation instruction. Therefore, even if terminal
numbers are shown in the drawings, the drawings are to be used as guidance only.
Installing and operating the Multi-line 2 products implies work with dangerous currents and voltages,
and therefore it should be done by qualified personnel only.
Care must be taken during installation to protect the terminals against static discharges. Once the
unit is installed and connected, these precautions are no longer necessary.
DEIF takes no responsibility for operation or installation of the generator set. If there is any doubt
about how to install or operate the system on which the Multi-line 2 products are measuring, the
company responsible for installation or operation must be contacted.
Standard functions
The GPU is a protection unit for a generator driven by a diesel / gas engine or a turbine. The
GPU will carry out all necessary tasks to protect a generator, regardless of the use of the
generator. This means that the GPU can be used for several application types such as:
- Stand-alone generator
- Multiple generator load sharing control
- Fixed load to mains / base load
The GPU measuring system is true RMS 3-phase measurement of generator voltage, generator
current and BUS (mains) voltage.
Language
German or English language may be chosen via the system menu structure.
- Reverse power
- Overcurrent (2 levels)

- Overfrequency (2 levels)
- Underfrequency (2 levels)

Selecting option F1 means that an additional board will be placed in slot #6 (terminals 90 to 97)
where 2 analogue 0(4)…20 mA outputs will be present. The outputs are galvanically separated
from each other and the rest of the GPU. The outputs are active outputs (does not require
external power supply). The use of the analogue outputs can be selected via the menu system or
the PC programming interface.
Option F2 will, in addition to the 2 analogue outputs in slot #6 as described under Option F1,
place 2 analogue outputs in slot # 4 (terminals 65 to 72). The technical data are the same.
If option G is selected, an additional relay board is mounted in slot #8 (terminals 126-133). Start
signal is on terminals 126-127, stop signal is on terminals 128-129. Both are normally open
relays.
The settings of level and timers can be carried out in the menu system or via PC interface.

Hardware
The GPU unit housing is divided into board slot positions, some of which are standard (non-
changeable) and some intended for options. The unit is divided like this:
In the standard GPU, the only slots used are as standard slot #1, #3, #5 and #8. Slots #2, #4 and
#6 are used for options, slot # 7 is not used.
Besides the slots, there is an additional board where the communication (RS 232 PC service port
for programming of set-points and timers etc. and display) is placed.
NOTE:
For slots #1 and 5, only specific boards can be mounted.
For slots #2, 4, 6 and 8, the boards are interchangeable.

The GPU monitors the energy production of each unit and it has pulse-outputs for kWh and
kVARh measurement. The number of pulses depends on the nominal output of the generator as
follows:
The serial communication line should be terminated with a resistor equal to the cable impedance.

These outputs are active outputs i.e. they use the internal power supply. The outputs are
galvanically separated from each other and the rest of the unit. The individual output can be
selected (in display or via PC programming software) to represent any AC measuring value and
related values (e.g. power, power factor, frequency, etc….).
Via software selection, the outputs can be selected to be 0…20 mA or 4…20 mA.
The current output can if needed be converted to voltage using a resistor across the terminals
(250 Ω will convert the 0 - 20 mA into 0 - 5 VDC).
The outputs can, by moving a jumper on the board, be selected to be +/- 20 mA if needed.

Display unit
The display unit used in multi-line 2 communicates and receives power supply via a 9-pole Sub-D
plug. The plug fits directly onto the main unit, so the display can be mounted on the top of the
main unit.
If the display is to be used as remote display, a standard computer extension cable with male /
female plug can be used for the connection. Cable length 3 m.
Push-button functions
There are 10 pushbuttons on the display unit with the following functions:
INFO: Shifts the display 3 lower lines to show the alarm list (up to 30 alarms can be in the
list).
JUMP: Enters a menu number selection. All settings have a specific number attached to it.
Using the JUMP button enables the user to select and display any setting without
navigating all the way through the menus (see later).
VIEW: Shifts the upper line displaying. The following values can be shown:
- 3 generator voltages (phase-to-phase)
- 3 generator currents
- Generator power factor and produced power (kW)
- Generator apparent power (VA) and reactive power (kvar)
- Generator L1 frequency and voltage
LOG: Shifts the display 3 lower lines to show the event and alarm list

display it is used for scrolling the second line displaying of generator values.
SEL: Is used to select the chosen function (underscored selection in the lower line of the
display).

display it is used for scrolling the second line displaying of generator values.
ESC: Jumps backwards one step in the menu (to previous display).
Display functions
The first line is used to display generator and BUS values. Typically the line will show 2 or 3
different values at the same time The following line values can be seen:

The third line is an indication line. If no system messages are shown (e.g. “Synchronising”), the
third line contains an explanation for the lower line selection of setup.
In the parameter menu, the third line indicates the present setting of the function in question, and,
if changes are to be made, the max. and min. possible value for the setting.
In the daily use display, the fourth line is the entry selection for the parameter menu. If “SEL” is
pressed, the selection of menu indicated with an underscore will be entered.
Choices are:
The settings related to the setup can be seen in the paragraph “Menu overview”, where the
specific function numbers (related to the “JUMP” function) can be seen.
When entering the parameter menus, the first (entry) display uses the fourth line to select a sub-
function for the parameter. What the selections are is dependent on the function selected.
Examples:
For protective function, the first entry shows the “BUS high volt 1” setting (provided the option is
chosen). In this case the fourth line shows:
For system setup, the first entry shows the “Nominal settings”. In this case the fourth line shows:
The above settings are used by the GPU to calculate nominal apparent power and current.

Menu overview
The following is the menu structure when entering settings of the GPU. If no entry has taken
place before, the first display to appear is the password display. Enter the factory setting
password to gain access to the menus.
If no actions have been taken within 30 seconds, the password entry will be de-activated, and a
new password entry will be needed.
The menu overview is divided according to the daily use display selections in the fourth line
(“PROT”, “SYST”.)
Password setting
The password setting falls outside the menu structure and can only be entered via the “JUMP”
pushbutton.
Select no. 4976 to enter password setting and select your own password. Use the and the
buttons to change the setting and the “SEL” button to store the new setting. Beware: Write
down the new password. If you forget it entering the menus will not be possible.
