GENSTAR AUTOSTART

DESCRIPTION

The GENSTAR is an auto start

generator controller that can
control one generator. It includes
a large LCD display, 5 control
push buttons, 10 indicator LEDs.
It displays all information needed
to analyze the system. It monitors
internal protections and external
fault inputs. It can display all
current and voltage
measurements for the main
power.

DISPLAYING INSTRUMENTATION
All 4 pages display:
: Run : Over volt / under volt • The oil pressure in PSI
• The engine temperature in °C
• The DC voltage
: Fault 1, 2 : Water • The oil hours
• The engine hour

: Battery/ dynamo : Oil In addition:

1. Page 1 displays the 3-phase voltages

in V: L1-N, L2-N and L3-N
: Temperature : Frequency
2. Page 2 displays the 3 phase currents
in A: L1-N, L2-N and L3-N.

3. Page 3 displays the phase 1 voltage

L1-N (V), the phase 2 current L2 – N
(A) & the frequency (Hz).

4. Page 4 displays the composed 3-

phase voltages: L1- L2- L2-L3 and L3-
L1 (V).
• If oil sender or oil switch is not used then it must be connected to 0 V.
• If coolant is not used then it must be connected to 0 V or disable by P25. To go to the next page, click on the Menu
key
• To reset oil hour counter, you must press Enter & Menu buttons at the
Same time then release, or you can reset by setting P01=P34
.
