1.0 INTRODUCTION
The SAM2_GEN (SAM2 Generator controller) unit is designed to monitor and control the BTS remote site standby generator. The
SAM2_GEN does not replace the AMF generator controller; it has been designed to operate together with the AMF generator
controller to perform the following functions:

Generator Control: Automatic start-stop depending the state of the utility ac mains supply.
Generator Control: Automatic start-stop in EPCC mode as controlled by the main SAM2_CTL unit.
Alarm Monitoring: Generator alarm detection, i.e. generator fault, engine temperature/oil pressure.
State Monitoring: Generator state detection, i.e. generator run, mains/generator on load.

This document describes the operation, installation, commissioning and testing of the SAM2_GEN controller is association with the
SAM2_CTL main control unit.

2.0 OVERVIEW
The SAM2_GEN generator controller operates in conjunction with the SAM2_CTL main control unit to control the
starting/running/stopping functions and monitoring the alarm/status of the generator.

2.1

Figure 1: SAM2_GEN Generator Controller System Reference Model


The SAM2_CTL and SAM2_GEN controller units have been designed to operate in a fail-safe manner in order to ensure that the
genset remote start function will operate correctly even if either of the SAM2_CTL or SAM2_GEN units is faulty.
If the SAM2_GEN unit is faulty, the SAM2_CTL unit is able to start/stop/reset the generators depending on the state of the utility ac
mains supply, i.e. utility mains failure. Under these circumstances hybrid power mode (EPCC) is possible because the SAM2_CTL
monitors the state of the BTS battery as well as the cabin environmental conditions.
If the SAM2_CTL unit is faulty, the SAM2_GEN unit is able to start/stop the generator depending only on the state of the utility ac
mains supply, i.e. utility mains failure. Under these circumstances hybrid power mode (EPCC) will not be activated because the
SAM2_GEN does not monitor the state of the BTS battery or the cabin environmental conditions.
The SAM2_CTL and SAM2_GEN units communicate using a simple protocol transferred via the control and status cable pairs as
indicated in figure 1 above. On power-up the SAM2_CTL unit sends a message to the SAM2_GEN unit, the SAM2_GEN unit
acknowledges to indicate that the message was received correctly. The SAM2_CTL unit now sends a new message to indicate
communication in both directions has been established and that both units are functional, the SAM2_CTL unit is in control. The 2
units communicate periodically to ensure both are functional, if communication is lost, the SAM2_CTL unit will re-initiate the start-up
communication handshaking procedure.

2.2

SAM2_CTL and SAM2_GEN Interconnections

The SAM2_CTL and SAM2_GEN units are interconnected using a multi-pair tie-cable; refer to table 1 below for a description of
each signal on transferred via the tie-cable.

generators, or to communicate with additional utility ac energy
meters if more than 1 meter is used.

Table 1: SAM2_CTL/GEN Interconnection Summary


Note: In order to monitor the state of the emergency stop button on the generators, the SAM2_GEN unit detects the 12Vdc
potential normally present on the output side of emergency stop button switch contacts. The SAM2_GEN unit has 2
dedicated inputs to monitor the emergency stop button of single or dual generators. Connect the emergency stop button of
generator 1 to input I/P1 on the SAM2_GEN unit and if duel generators are installed use input I/P2 for the second generator.
The digital output signals of the 2 emergency stop buttons are on Krone block-1/pair-5 for generator 1, Krone block-3/pair-4
for generator 2 and interconnect between the SAM2_GEN and The SAM2_CTL units via the multi-pair cable.

The SAM2_GEN controller unit monitors the utility 230Vac input supply to determine if the generators should run and it monitors the
generator output 230Vac supply to ensure the generated voltage is within the specified range to power the load.

2.4

Generator Fuel Tank Monitoring

The SAM2_CTL controller unit has the ability to measure the actual amount of diesel stored in the fuel tank, and to detect when the
fuel tank lid is open. The fuel probe is a pressure sensor and the SAM2_CTL unit converts the pressure reading to a fuel level
expressed in litres. The fuel tank lid switch is used to alert the SAM2_CTL unit that the fuel tank has been opened or closed. The
water detection probe is used to indicated that water is present in the diesel tank. The diagram in figure 3 shows how the fuel probe,
tank lid switch and water detection probe interface with the SAM2_CTL unit.

3.0 INSTALLATION
3.1

Mechanical Installation

Physically mount the following items taking due care of cable entry and available space:

Fit the generator door switches and mounting plates; connect all the door switches of each generator in parallel using the
normally closed (NC) contact. Refer to table 3 below for the correct termination on the Krone blocks for the door switches.
Note: Normally Open (NO) refers to the state of the door switch contact when the door is closed, i.e. contact will
close when the door is open.

Fit the fuel probe ensuring that it is lying at the bottom of the tank. The fuel probe uses a single cable-pair to communicate with
the SAM2_CTU unit via a RS485 bus and is powered from 12Vdc via a separate cable pair; refer to table 2 below. Note that
the interconnecting cable clear plastic Breather pipe must not be sealed, obstructed or bent.

Fit the fuel tank lid switch, the switch is powered from 12Vdc via a separate cable-pair and has a single lead for its output
signal; refer to tables 1 above and table 2 below.

Fit the utility energy meter at a suitable cable entry point of the mains ac supply to the site. Refer to table 1 above for the single
cable pair used to interconnect the utility meter to the SAM2_CTL unit.

Fit the SAM2_GEN control unit in the primary standby generator (GEN1); refer to the following section for all the electrical
interconnections on the unit.

3.2

Generator Door Switches


Connect all the door switches of each generator in parallel using the normally closed (NC) contact. Refer to table 1 above for
the correct termination on the Krone blocks for the door switches. Note: Normally Open (NO) refers to the state of the
door switch contact when the door is closed, i.e. contact will close when the door is open.

3.3

SAM2_GEN Interconnecting Cable

The diagram depicted in figure 5 below shows the Krone block layout for the SAM2_GEN cable termination. The following points are
important and should be noted:

There are 3 Krone blocks numbered KB1, KB2 and KB3.


Each Krone block caters for 10 cable pairs, numbered 1 to 10 left to right.
Each cable pair has an A and a B leg. The polarity of the A leg is positive and the B leg is either negative or GND.
The cable must be terminated on the side of the Krone block as indicated in the diagram below.
The equipment or sensors must be terminated on the side of the Krone block as indicated in the diagram below.
IDC connector JP4 provides 12Vdc power for the fuel probe and tank lid switch, 4 individual fused outputs are available.

Figure 5: Krone Block Cable Termination Layout


If only one generator is installed at the site, a single 20-pair cable is sufficient to interconnect all the possible control and monitored
states between the SAM2_CTL and SAM2_GEN units.
When 2 generators are used in a standby mode at the site, a 20-pair cable is sufficient to interconnect only the minimum signal
necessary to control 2 generators. If all the possible control and monitored states are to be used for the 2 generators a 30-pair cable
is required to interconnect the SAM2_CTL and SAM2_GEN units and an additional 10-pair cable is required to interconnect the 2
generators.

SECTION 5: Generator Logic InteliLite AMF25 Control Panel V2.6 Firmware

5.0 INSTALLATION OF INTELILITE AMF25 CONTROL PANEL V2.6 FIRMWARE


This section describes the installation details applicable only to generators supplied by Generator Logic and equipped with the
InteliLite AMF20 or AMF25 control panel programmed using the InleliLite V2.6 firmware.
Notes:
This solution requires the InteliLite AMF20/AMF25 panel firmware to be reprogrammed using the InteliLite V2.6 firmware.
The Inala V2.6 Template for InteliLite AMF20/AMF25 SetPoint configuration and Binary input/output configuration
must also be downloaded.
The Inala SAM2 system switches the AMF panel to TEST Mode to start and run the generator. When the generator is not
running it should always be left in AUTO Mode. The following binary inputs on the AMF25 panel are used to control the
generator Start/Stop and Reset functions (refer also to the picture below):

Binary Input 3: Configured as Remote Test, This input is used to start and stop the generator and is connected to
the SAM2 remote start output.

Binary Input 4: Configured as Test on Load, This input is used to ensure the generator goes on load when started. It
must be left open circuit.

Binary Input 5: Configured as Mains Fail Block, This input is used to disable the genset automatic start function for
a Mains Failure. The input simulates healthy mains. In the case of a running genset the GCB contactor is opened,
the genset goes to cooling procedure and stops.

Binary Input 6: Configured as Fault Reset Button, This input is used to reset a fault condition on the AMF25 panel
and is connected to the SAM2 remote reset output.

Binary Input 7: Configured as Remote AUTO, This input is used to switch the AMF25 panel to AUTO Mode in order
to stop the genset by initiating the cooling procedure. The input is used to ensure the MCB contactor closes when the
genset is not running and mains is present.

SAM2 sites already installed and programmed using the V1.3.2 or V2.4 revision InteliLite AMF25 firmware can be upgraded
by making the above wiring changes on the AMF25 panel and re-programming the AMF25 panel using the V2.6 firmware,
downloading the correct Inala V2.6 configuration template. Refer to the following picture:

Wiring connections
Make the following wiring connections between the SAM2_GEN control unit and SDMO Auto A50 Control Panel:

a)

SAM2_GEN control Unit 12Vdc Supply

Connect the 12Vdc supply output from the generator battery (wire leads marked 30 for +12V and 31 for GND) to the +12V and
GND screw terminals of the SAM2_GEN unit as shown in the diagram below.
Note: Connect the SAM2_GEN control unit 12Vdc supply directly to the generator battery terminals. Alternatively, if a separate 12V
battery supply is available (i.e. backup supply for the Siemens Logo, Electric fence or intrusion alarm system) it can be used to
power the SAM2_GEN control unit.

+12V (30)

BATTERY

GND (31)

b)

KPLC (Mains) 230Vac Input Connection

Refer to figure 1; Connect the live (L) and neutral (N) wires of the KPLC (mains) 230Vac supply from the input side (bottom) of
contactor 4KM6 to Mains screw terminals on the the SAM2_GEN control unit. Note: On single-phase sites loop L1 to L2 to L3.

c)

Generator 230Vac Output Connection

Refer to figure 1; Connect the live (L) and neutral (N) wires of the generator 230Vac supply from the output side (top) of contactor
5KM18 to the GEN screw terminals on the SAM2_GEN control unit. Note: On single-phase sites loop L1 to L2 to L3.

d)

Generator Run Signal

The generator run signal must be connected to a normally open (NO) output, i.e. when the generator is at rest (not starting or
running), the run signal must be either open circuit or at a positive potential with reference to ground. When the generator has
started and is running the run signal must be connected to ground (GND).

Refer to the picture above and the Electric Wiring Diagram in the Auto A50 Control Panel document; Relay 5KA24 is connected
across the generator 230Vac supply output and operates when the generator is started and running. The common and NO contacts
of relay 5KA24 are used to provide a Generator Run signal output. Connect as follows:
Relay 5KA24 NO contact (LHS Screw terminal 11, wire 137,) to: Krone block 2, pair 3, leg A KB2/3/B
Relay 5KA24 Common contact (Centre Screw terminal 14) to: Krone block 2, pair 3, leg B (GND) KB2/3/B

SAM2V3_gen_Manual V301

Page 62 of 67

Ref: lmd 10/Sep/08

e)

Generator Remote Start Signal

Refer to the following picture and connect the generator remote start signal across pair 7 on Krone block one. Note the relay links on
the SAM2_GEN control unit must be in the NO position.

Generator Remote Start Input:


Connect across KB1/7/A-B
The generator remote start signal input is across screw terminals XUC-10 and XUC-11 (wire leads 141 and 155 respectively) on the
far right-hand-sided of the XUC terminal block.

f)

Generator Fault/Alarm Signal

Refer to the following picture and connect the generator fault/alarm signal from the screw terminal shown (3 and 4 from the top) to
Krone block 2, pair 1 across the A and B legs.

Generator Fault/Alarm Output:


Connect across KB2/1/A-B

Note: The generator fault/alarm output is a NC contact, thus the SAM2_CTL unit must be configured for a NC input for the GEN1
RUN, refer to the Alarm Configuration screen of the SAM2_ECT software application.

g)

Utility 230Vac Fail Control

Refer to sheet 004 and sheet 009 of the SDMO Electric Wiring Diagram: Auto A50 Control Panel document.
On sheet 004 of the SDMO Auto A50 Control Panel document relay 4KA3 is connected across the live (L/R4) and neutral (N/N4) of
the KPLC (mains) 230Vac input lines. This relay detects when the KPLC (mains) supply fails and its contact closes to start the
generator (shown on sheet 009 and in figure 1 below).
The SAM2 remote start relay contact is connected across terminals XUC-10 and XUC-11, which are effectively in parallel with the
contact of relay 4KA3. Thus when either the SAM2 remote start relay contact or the SDMO Auto A50 4KA3 relay contact is closed
the generator will start.
SAM2V3_gen_Manual V301

Page 63 of 67

Ref: lmd 10/Sep/08

This will be a problem: The SAM2 unit will not start the generator when the site is in Hybrid power mode, but if KPLC mains fails at
this time the SDMO Auto A50 4KA3 relay contact will close and the generator will start. In order to prevent this problem Stripline
Link 9X15 must be removed (open).
In order to verify the operation described above perform the following test before the installation of the SAM2 generator controller:
1)
2)
3)
4)

Switch OFF the KPLC (mains) 230Vac supply, the generator should start, run and go On Load.
Switch ON the KPLC (mains) 230Vac supply, the generator should go Off Load, cool down and stop.
Remove the link across the Stripline Link 9X15.
Switch OFF the KPLC (mains) 230Vac supply, the generator should not start.

Page 65 of 67

Ref: lmd 10/Sep/08

Appendix O: SAM2 Genset Start/Stop/Rest Control Description


SAM2 Genset start/stop/reset operation.
Starting the Genset:
a) The SAM2 unit starts the genset by closing the relay contacts connects across KB1/7/A and KB1/7/B for the genset start pulse
duration (configured to 20 seconds for theAMF25 panel). AMF25 panel should indicate that it is in "Test" mode.
b) If the GEN Run signal activates (closing contact across KB2/3/A and KB2/3/B) within the 20 second interval indicating a running
genset, the start relay contact remains closed. AMF25 panel should continue to indicate that it is in "Test" mode.
c) The SAM2 unit now monitors the state of the AC Phase fail input, if this input clears within 90 seconds the generator is assumed
to have started, is running and generating 230Vac on all 3 phases.
d) If the Gen Run signal does not activate or the AC Phase alarm does not clear, the start signal is turned off for 30 seconds and the
cycle repeats.
e) The start attempt cycle is repeated 4 times, if the genset does not start after the 4th attempt, the "Gen Start Fail" alarm is
activated and the SAM2 stops attempting to start the genset.
f) The are a number of conditions that will reset the "Fail to Start Counter" in order for the SAM2 unit again attempt to start the
genset, Remote reset on the ECT software is one way to clear the "Fail to Start Counter". If activated the "Gen Start Fail" alarm will
only clear when the genset starts and runs for more than 90 seconds.
Note: The SAM2 unit is configured for 60 second genset start delay, this delay is operational when the Utility 230Vac power fails,
when the genset is started remotely from the ECT software there is no delay.
Note: The SAM2 Unit has an "Override Time-Out" period that is configurable from the ECT software on the Generato/Power screen.
This is normally set to 5 minutes. If a genset is started remotely from the ECT software it will run for the configured Override time-out
period, i.e. 5 minutes and then stop.
Stopping the Genset:
a) The SAM2 stops a genset by firstly opening the remote start relay contacts across KB1/7/A and KB1/7/B, the AMF25 panel will
very briefly switch to manual mode.
b) Almost immediately after the remote start relay contact is opened the remote reset relay contact across KB1/9/A and
KB1/9/B closes for 10 seconds. This action both resets the AMF panel fault condition and stops the genset by switching the AMF25
panel into "Off" mode for 10 seconds. When the remote reset relay contact across KB1/9/A and KB1/9/B opens the AMF25 panel
switches back to (and is locked in) manual mode. Thus the maintenance personell can start and stop the genset manually.
Note: The SAM2 unit is configured for 60 second genset stop delay, this delay is operational when the Utility 230Vac power clears,
when the genset is stopped remotely from the ECT software there is no delay.
Note: The SAM2 Unit has an "Override Time-Out" period that is configurable from the ECT software on the Generato/Power screen.
This is normally set to 5 minutes. If a running genset is stopped remotely from the ECT software it will stop for the configured
Override time-out period, i.e. 5 minutes and then re-start again automatically.
Resetting Fault on AMF25 Panel:
The fault condition on the AMF25 panel is reset remotely by closing the remote reset relay contact across KB1/9/A and KB1/9/B for
10 seconds.
Note: When the genset is reset remotely from the ECT software there is no delay, the genset stops immediately and the alarm is
reset.
Note: If a genset is started manually when it should not be running (i.e. site is in epcc mode or the Utility 230Vac power alarm is not
active), then the SAM2 unit will allow the genset to run for the override time-out period (5 minutes) and then stop it using the reset
signal.
Note: The start/stop/reset action described above has be tested in the lab on a testbox and in the field on various types of AMF
panels and is functioning reliably.
A simple way of testing the Start/Stop/Reset functions is via the ECT software:
1) If the genset is not running (i.e. site is in epcc mode or the Utility 230Vac power alarm is not active), click the Gen start button on
the ECT software, the genset should start and run for the override time-out period (5 minutes).
2) If the genset is not running (i.e. site is in epcc mode or the Utility 230Vac power alarm is not active), then AMF25 panel should be
in "MAN" mode, press the start button on the AMF25 panel, the genset should start and run for the override time-out period (5
minutes).
3) If the genset is running (i.e. site is not in epcc mode and the Utility 230Vac power alarm is active), click the Gen stop button on
the ECT software, the genset should stop for the override time-out period (5 minutes) and then restart automatically.
4) If the genset is running (i.e. site is not in epcc mode and the Utility 230Vac power alarm is active), click the Gen reset button on
the ECT software, the genset should stop immediately and restart automatically after about 60 seconds (genset start delay).
