INTERCONNECTION
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The electrical connecting of control units
KEA 071 and RZ 071 are to be made by experi-
enced experts only!
The Automatic Generator set Control Unit
KEA 071-SPL has to be connected with Relay Unit
RZ 071-D via plug-in connectors by means of the
attached multi-core cables.
The following signal wires have to be connected to
the Automatic Unit KEA 071-SPL directly:
∗ Mains and generator voltage
∗ Battery voltage (in case the internal battery
voltage sensor shall be used)
∗ Measuring output of actual generator power
∗ Measuring output of speed sensor (in case of
using a tacho voltage generator or a pick-up)
The supply voltage from battery, and all further
signal wires have to be connected to the Relay
Units RZ 071-D and RZ 071-E.
The battery voltage input is fitted with a false con-
nection barrier, however, the correct polarity has

OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS
The relevant indicating and operating elements
are assembled, easy to survey, on the front plate
of the Automatic Unit KEA 071-SPL. The opera-
tional modes are to be selected by means of four
push-buttons, with integrated LEDs, showing the
actual selected position.
Activating the push-button selection may be
locked- out electrically by a wired jumper to termi-
OPERATIONAL MODE: OFF
On connecting the automatic unit to battery volt-
age, this operational mode position will be pre-
selected automatically (Reset function), to prevent
the generator set from starting unintentionally.
On switching over from any other operational
mode, the following will be initiated:
∗ Shut-down of generator set (if running);
OPERATIONAL MODE: HAND
On selecting this operational mode, a relay, which
is configured for the function „Auxiliary Drives
ON“, will be energized at once; the LED „START
INDICATION“ will show flashing light. There has
to be a response signal, when engine start pre-
paratory conditions are achieved. (Including, for
instance: GAS LEAK PROOF TEST ENDED,
WASTE GAS FLAP OPEN, LUB.-OIL PRES-
SURE AVAILABLE.) After that, the LED „START
INDICATION“ will change to steady light, without
engine running. If there is no requirement for any
start preparatory conditions, a fixed jumper from
L(-) potential to the input terminal for this signal
(RZ 071-D) shall be connected.
Now, the generator set may be started by press-
ing the push-button START.
Under this operational mode, when pressing the
„Mains OFF“ push-button (O) in mimic diagram,
the mains supply can be switched off (even when
generator set is not running!); to re-close the
mains supply, the „Mains ON“ push-button (I) has
to be pressed.
Provided, voltage and frequency of generator are
within its rated value limits, the load may be
changed-over from mains to generator supply, by
pressing the „Generator ON“ (I) or „Mains OFF“
(0) push-button, arranged in the mimic diagram.
To re-connect the load to mains supply, the
„Mains ON“ push-button (I) has to be pressed. On
07 / 96
nals of the relay unit RZ 071-D (For example, by
connecting a key-operated control switch); so an
unintentional or unacceptable change of a de-
cided selection will be avoided.
By push-button selector, the following modes of
operation are to be selected:
∗ Switching-off of all indicated fault signals (ex-
cept fault signals No. 13 and 14, if external
contacts should be still closed);
∗ Reset of automatic unit, if locked out (provided,
the external EMERGENCY OFF contact is not
closed).
In case, mains voltage should be available, the
mains supply (i.e. mains circuit-breaker or contac-
tor) will be switched on in this selector position.
pressing the „Generator OFF“ (0) push-button, the
generator circuit breaker will be opened, but the
mains circuit breaker will not be closed. Re-
connection to mains supply has to be made
manually.
All change-over movements are executed without
synchronizing, that means, with interruption in
supply.
Should, in this case, a fault signal with shut-down
function occur - or, for instance, the fault signal
GENERATOR OVERCURRENT -, the generator
breaker will be tripped, but the mains breaker will
not be closed automatically. - On the other hand,
no automatic change-over to generator supply will
take place, if mains voltage should fail, while the
generator set is running.
The ON push-button will be inactive, if the corre-
sponding supply voltage of the system, which
should be switched on, is not within its pre-set
values, or if the phase sequence of this system
should be incorrect.
A remote start demand signal does not initiate an
automatic closing of the generator circuit breaker.
To stop the generator set, the push-button selec-
tor is to be set to position OFF or (if no start de-
mand signal is available) to position AUTOMATIC.
 TA71SXXE.01 -6-
OPERATIONAL MODE: AUTOMATIC
When mains voltage is available, the mains supply
is connected to load and the generator set is in
automatic stand-by mode.
The mains voltage will be measured and monitored
permanently. As soon as the values for voltage or
frequency are no longer within the adjusted limits,
this condition will be indicated by the correspond-
ing LED (f<, f>, U<, U>), arranged in the mimic
diagram. After response time of sensing unit has
elapsed (configurable), the start sequence pro-
gram will be initiated.
The start sequence program may be initiated,
when mains voltage fails or when the connected
remote start contact is closed, but also optionally,
when mains voltage fails and the remote start con-
tact is closed simultaneously. The latter function
additionally has provisions for a start blocking.
On initiating an automatic start, a relay, which is
configured for the function „Auxiliary Drives ON“,
will be energized at once; the LED „START INDI-
CATION“ will show flashing light. There has to be a
response signal, when engine start preparatory
conditions are achieved. (Including, for instance:
GAS LEAK PROOF TEST ENDED, WASTE GAS
FLAP OPEN, LUB.-OIL PRESSURE AVAILABLE.)
After that, the LED „START INDICATION“ will
change to steady light, without engine running. If
there is no requirement for any start preparatory
conditions, a fixed jumper from L(-) potential to the
input terminal for this signal (RZ 071-D) shall be
connected.
Now, the start sequence program will run and
crank the engine. If the generator set should not
start, even after complete cranking sequence pro-
gram has elapsed, the fault signal OVERCRANK /
TROUBLE will occur and the automatic unit will be
locked out (Signal: AUTOMATIC DEVICE
LOCKED).
When the generator set, after running up, has
reached rated voltage and frequency, the mains
breaker will be switched off and the generator
breaker will be closed, with a change-over interval
of approximately 2 s (time value configurable).
OPERATIONAL MODE: TRIAL
On selecting this operational mode, a relay, which
is configured for the function „Auxiliary Drives ON“,
will be energized at once; the LED „START INDI-
CATION“ will show flashing light.
07 / 96
After mains voltage has restored to normal values
and re-connection delay has elapsed, the genera-
tor will be synchronized to mains voltage (pro-
vided, the automatic synchronizing is enabled to
operate); after synchronizing, the generator circuit
breaker will be switched off.
In case the synchronized change-over is not re-
quired to operate (Terminal # 20 / Relay Unit
RZ 071-D), re-connection to mains supply will take
place with a switching interval.
To prevent the engine from a heat increase, the
generator set will run unloaded for the configured
idle run time, and then it will be shut-down.
The program also may be configured, that the start
sequence will run when the mains breaker should
be tripped by fault. (For switchboards in accor-
dance with DIN VDE 0107 or DIN VDE 0108; oth-
erwise available on demand.) The tripping of mains
breaker will be indicated by a fault signal.
After eliminating the fault, this indication has to be
cancelled by pressing the push-button ALARM
OFF. If the mains voltage is available, the re-con-
nection to mains supply will be executed, after the
pre-determined delay.
Additionally, the start sequence program may be
initiated by remote start demand signals for
∗ generator set operation with load transfer and
∗ generator set operation without load transfer.
On remote start demand with load transfer, the
generator set automatically will be started and
synchronized to mains voltage, before mains cir-
cuit breaker will be opened (provided, mains volt-
age is available). When the remote start input is
opened again, the re-connection of load from gen-
erator to mains supply also will be executed with a
synchronized change-over.
The input for remote start demand without load
transfer is needed, for instance, when fire fighting
pumps are connected. On activating this input, the
generator set will be started, but the generator cir-
cuit breaker will not be closed automatically, while,
in case of a mains voltage failure, the generator
set will supply the load automatically.
When engine start preparatory conditions are
achieved, (conditions see under mode HAND), the
LED „START INDICATION“ will change to steady
light and the start sequence program will be initi-
ated.
 TA71SXXE.01 -7-
As soon as, after start of generator set, voltage
and frequency of the generator are within the rated
value limits, the load may be changed-over to gen-
erator supply, by pressing the generator breaker
ON (I) or the mains breakers OFF (O) push-button,
which are arranged in the mimic diagram. To
change-over to mains supply, the generator
breaker OFF (O) or the mains breaker ON (I)
push-button has to be pressed.
Change-over takes place with an overlap synchro-
nizing or with an interruption, depending on signal
to terminal # 20 of relay unit RZ 071-D.
PUSH-BUTTON: START
Only when operational mode HAND is selected,
the starter motor can be energized and the engine
can be cranked by pressing the push-button
START. If the automatic unit’s program is config-
ured for a gas engine, this program sequence will
run. Should a diesel engine need a pre-glowing
PUSH-BUTTON: LAMPS TESTING
On pressing this push-button, the indicating LEDs
of KEA 071 front panel will be checked, without
initiating or suppressing an actual alarm signal.
PUSH-BUTTON: ALARM OFF
By a pulse of this push-button, the audible signal
caused by a fault signal, will be silenced.
OPERATE AND FAULT INDICATIONS
The left-hand part of KEA front panel contains, ar-

After starting the generator set, this signal indi-
cates the activating of monitoring circuits, which

well as the generator set is locked-out for any fur-
ther starting attempt.

In case of mains failure during TRIAL operation,
the load automatically will be changed-over to
generator supply. It is not possible now, during
mains voltage failure, to open the generator
breaker by means of push-button.
To stop the generator set, the push-button selector
is to be set to position OFF or (if mains voltage is
available) to position AUTOMATIC.

nally.
When another operational mode is selected or
when generator set is running, the push-button is
not active.
To include in this test further signal lights, assem-
bled in switchboard cubicle, a relay of relay unit
RZ 071-D has to be parametered and connected.

indications are provided as a basic fitting:
The indication is switched off, as soon as the shut-
down procedure is beginning.
To reset the control unit, the push-button selector
has to be set to position OFF(RESET). Prior to
this, the reason for trouble has to be eliminated, or
the EMERGENCY STOP push-button has to be
unlocked.
As long as there is no enable signal for starting,
the LED is flashing. On start enable signal, the

MIMIC DIAGRAM / VOLTAGE SENSORS
The mimic diagram symbolizes incoming mains
and generator supply, circuit breakers and bus-bar
system. Push-buttons are assembled for:
∗ Mains breaker ON (I)
∗ Mains breaker Off (0)
∗ Generator breaker ON (I)
∗ Generator breaker Off (0)
The CLOSED position of circuit breakers is indi-
cated by green LEDs, arranged below the corre-
sponding push-buttons. The LEDs are flashing, as
long as the synchronizing is active.
There are four red and two green LEDs each for
mains and generator voltage monitoring. They in-
dicate normal conditions of each voltage system or
the character of deviation from normal.
The LEDs of first line, from left to right, are indicat-
ing:
∗ Underfrequency (f<)
∗ Voltage / frequency within normal range
∗ Overfrequency (f>)
The second line of LEDs indicates:
∗ Undervoltage / incorrect phase sequence (U<)
∗ Voltage / frequency within normal range
∗ Overvoltage (U>)
The signal UNDERVOLTAGE also will occur in
case of wrong phase sequence or in case of a
voltage vector asymmetry.
For voltage monitoring, the following parameters
may be entered:
∗ Undervoltage: Response and disengage value
∗ Overvoltage: Response and disengage value

voltage sensors:
∗ Undervoltage,
∗ Overvoltage,
∗ Underfrequency, and
∗ Overfrequency,
is configurable in such a manner, that:
∗ the output signal is not effective;
∗ the corresponding LED operates as a static in-
dication for the voltage sensor output;
∗ the voltage sensor output is connected to an
additional fault alarm.
Static LED indication only
The corresponding red LED is alight, when an en-
abled monitoring detects a deviation from normal
value. During response delay, the green LEDs re-
main lighted, and they go out, when the delay has
elapsed. The function now will be processed inter-
nally.
When voltage or frequency values have recovered
to pre-determined limits, the red LED goes out at
once and a disengage delay time runs. The green
LEDs are flashing, and they will change to a
steady light, when the delay time has elapsed. In-

ternally, now the voltage system is recognized as
„within normal limits“.
The generator’s LEDs are out of order, when the
operational mode OFF is selected, or when no
start demand signal is available during AUTO-
MATIC mode. LEDs for mains voltage system are
operative permanently.
FAULT SIGNALS
As a basic arrangement, the automatic control unit
KEA 071-SPL is fitted with facilities to process 22
single fault indicating circuits, 4 of which are pro-
vided for monitoring of mains and generator volt-
ages, 14 are freely determinable by the user. Basi-
cally, there are three groups of fault signal proc-
essing:
1. Operation dependent fault signals (for exam-
ple LOW OIL PRESSURE) will be active only,
when the generator set was started and an ad-
ditional time lag has elapsed. Activation of
these monitoring circuits is indicated by LED
signal CONTROLS ON.
2. Operation independent fault signals (for ex-
ample BATTERY UNDERVOLTAGE) are per-
manently active, except in case the push-button
selector is set to position OFF.
3. The fault signals No. 13 and 14 are active, in-
dependent of generator set’s operation and of
selected operational mode. These monitoring
circuits are used for permanently needed alarm
information, even if the push-button selector
should be set to position OFF (for example
LEAKAGE). In position OFF, the audible signal
will not be energized, but this signal triggers the
general collective alarm output also. Any other
operational mode (except OFF) causes usual
processing of these fault signals.
The fault signal processing may be configured, de-
pending on the actual execution of circuitry, as fol-
lows:
∗ For signal contacts in NO (normally open) or in
NC (normally closed) circuits;
∗ Delayed or undelayed operation dependent
alarm;
∗ Signals effecting a warning only or an additional
generator set shut-down;
∗ Additionally, for warning signals:
- without generator breaker tripping;
- with immediate generator breaker tripping;
07 / 96
LED indication along with fault signal
When parametered for fault alarm signals in case
of deviations from normal voltage or frequency
values, the alarm will be given only after response
delay time has elapsed. The green LEDs go out
and the red LEDs operate as normal fault signal
indicators, that means, they are flashing in case of
a faulty condition, and the audible alarm will sound.
As usual for all other fault signals, this signal trig-
gers the general collective alarm output also.
- with delayed (acc. idle run time) gen. breaker
tripping, followed by generator set shut-
down after idle running.
The eight signals, which are internally used to
monitor the mains and generator voltages, are:
∗ Mains undervoltage
∗ Mains overvoltage
∗ Mains underfrequency
∗ Mains overfrequency
∗ Generator undervoltage
∗ Generator overvoltage
∗ Generator underfrequency
∗ Generator overfrequency
When using control contacts, the alarm will be re-
leased on contact closing (NO circuits) or on con-
tact opening (NC circuits). With analog value in-
puts, the alarm condition is released, when the
pre-set limit values will be passed. Each alarm will
be indicated by the corresponding LED with flash-
ing light and by audible alarm (for the configured
duration).
To silence the audible alarm, a pulse has to be
given by push-button ALARM OFF; otherwise, the
alarm will be switched off automatically (when pa-
rametered time has elapsed). On silencing the au-
dible alarm, the LED signal changes to steady
light. Several alarms, which could occur in se-
quence, would repeatedly release the audible
alarm; each alarm is indicated by a separate LED.
In case of warning alarms, another pulse by push-
button ALARM OFF will cancel the visible signal,
provided, the matter of alarm has been eliminated.
In case of signals, which lead to a shut-down of
generator set, any subsequent operation is locked
out by the automatic control unit. This condition is
shown by the LED signal AUTOMATIC DEVICE
LOCKED. To reset the automatic control unit, after
having eliminated the faulty condition (unlocking of
an external EMERGENCY STOP push-button in-
cluded), the push-button selector has to be set to
 TA71SXXE.01 - 10 -
position OFF (RESET). Now it is possible, to select
again an operational mode.
The fault signal indications from No 11 to No 14,
when operating in NC circuits, are additionally con-
figurable to actuate separate output relays. As long
as the signal is not available, the corresponding re-
lay is energized. The relay is switched off, when
OVERSPEED
To watch the overspeed condition, the generator
frequency, or the frequency of a separate speed
sensor (pick-up or tacho generator) has to be de-
tected.
When using the generator frequency, it is neces-
sary to configure the fault signal GENERATOR
UNDERVOLTAGE as a shut-down signal. This
procedure makes sure, that in case of loss of
generator voltage the engine set will be shut-
down.
For these signal circuits, the following parameters
may be set:
∗ Limit speed for response;
∗ Disengaging value;
∗ No. of fault signal indication, which shall be
coupled.
BATTERY UNDERVOLTAGE
This warning signal has to be parametered as be-
ing active, independent of engine run.
To monitor this signal properly, the voltage supply
for automatic control unit KEA 071-SPL has to be
connected to another source than the monitored
battery (see National Standard
DIN VDE 0108/10.89, Part 1, Section 6.4.4.5, or
comparable International Rules).
This may be (as for example in large installations)
a common control potential, supplied by several
existing batteries, which are uncoupled by diodes.
For monitoring the battery voltage, additionally an
integrated battery voltage sensor may be config-
FAULT SIGNALS No. 13 & 14
The signal inputs No. 13 and 14 are capable to be
retarded from 0 to 250 s. This means, the con-
cerned switching contact has to remain at least for
the pre-set time in the alarming position, before the

STANDARD CONNECTIONS / PROGRAM SEQUENCES
The normal models of KUHSE Automatic Control
Units KEA 071-SPL are shop-configured as normal
in accordance with parameter list (see page 19),
unless otherwise specified according to customer’s
orders.
START PROGRAM SEQUENCE
The program is shop-configured for diesel or for
gas engine, according to order requirements.
The start sequence for gas engines is the follow-
ing:
∗ Starter motor ON;
∗ (2 s after exceeding ignition speed:) Ignition
ON;
∗ (2 s after ignition ON:) Gas valve OPENED;
∗ (In case of no start, another 7 s later:) Gas
valve CLOSED and
∗ Starter motor OFF;
∗ (after 6 s:) Ignition OFF;
∗ (1 s later:) Another start sequence.
The following parameters are provided for a
start / stop sequence:
∗ Start delay;
∗ Cranking time;
∗ Time delay between „Starter ON“ and „Ignition
ON“;
∗ Time delay between „Ignition ON“ and gas flow;
∗ Interval;

The normal way of configuring the shut-down sole-
noid is NO condition; that means, the solenoid will
be energized (for an adjusted time) to shut-down
the generator set. The solenoid remains energized,
until generator set has reached standstill position.
In case, the engine is fitted with an operate sole-
noid, which is de-energized to shut-down the gen-
erator set, the control mode for relay -K1 (Relay

A fault signal indication is not influencing the volt-

when frequency has returned to normal. However,
the correct frequency will be known by the auto-
matic unit’s program.
Nevertheless, all parameters are changeable or
may be entered additionally, even after installation
of switchboard. To realize this, a PC or laptop has
to be connected to the assembled optical fiber
connector. For more details, please refer to special
instruction for coding and adjusting.

gas safety path, another relay may be configured
in like manner.

DETECTION OF ENGINE RUNNING CONDITION
The correct point of exceeding the engine’s ignition
speed for switching off the starter motor has to be
sensed doubtless. For this reason, the automatic
control unit KEA 071-SPL is regularly fitted with
separate inputs for charging dynamo, tacho gen-
erator and for pick-up connection.
The wiring for pick-up or for tacho generator
connection has to be executed in shielded ca-
bles.
The tumbler switch, arranged at the rear side of
automatic unit KEA 071-SPL, has to be set in ac-
cordance with connected equipment:
∗ Lever in left position ( ): Pick-up
∗ Lever in right position ( ): Tacho generator
FREQUENCY CONTROL DURING ISOLATED GENERATOR SET OPERATION
When the generator set substitutes the mains
power, the generator set’s frequency may be con-
trolled to a rated value, independent of actual load.
Therefore, the engine shall have provisions for re-
mote speed control, or an electronic governor, fit-
ted with control input, has to be assembled.
The automatic unit emits adjusting pulses to the
engine’s governor, when frequency is not within
parametered limits. The interval between two
pulses, for enabling the engine to react, is also
configurable.
PEAK LOAD SUPPLY
When operational mode AUTOMATIC is selected,
the generator set will be started on a peak load
demand signal. After normal running conditions
have been attained, the generator set will be syn-
chronized to mains voltage.
When running in parallel, the internal output power
control (optional assembly) will be ready to charge
the generator set. For a functional description of in-
ternal output power controller (optional assembly),
please refer to next page.
The configuring permits to run the generator set
with a (parametered) constant output, or to control
the output power by an external signal (for exam-
ple, by a signal from a main control station), or by
a manually adjusted set value (for example, by
means of a separately arranged rheostat).
When the peak load demand signal is cancelled,
the generator set will be unloaded to approximately
FURTHER SIGNAL CONTACTS
For further switchboard control applications (signal
lamp test, manual operations, or in like manner),
several relays are configurable. These special

In case of governing gas engines, it is absolutely
necessary, to provide a pick-up, or a tacho genera-
tor with frequency signal output.
The input for charger dynamo has provisions for an
initial excitation of the dynamo, so AC charging
generators may be used also without problems.
The initial excitation will be switched off simultane-
ously with starter motor.
For safety reasons, the program of automatic con-
trol unit KEA 071-SPL has facilities to detect the
generator voltage also; so, an unintended engag-
ing of starter during engine run is avoided.
The following parameters are configurable:
∗ Frequency maximum value;
∗ Frequency minimum value;
∗ Pulse length for governor;
∗ Interval between pulses.
Please note, that the interval and pulse times for
frequency control are the same as for frequency
matching during synchronizing.

will open.
In case the internal output power control will not be
applied, there are control inputs and outputs pro-
vided to connect an external power control unit.
Mains voltage failures during peak load supply
shall be monitored by special equipment, for ex-
ample by a KNAE 9408 unit. This device will trip
the mains breaker directly, so the generator set
alone will continue to supply the load.
When mains voltage has returned to normal condi-
tions and after a re-connection delay, the genera-
tor set will be synchronized to mains voltage.
When the peak load demand signal is available,
the generator set again will run in parallel with
mains supply; if not, the generator breaker opens
and the generator set will shut-down after idle run-
ning time has elapsed.
functions are shop-configured on demand, but the
function mode may be changed also later without
any problem.

EMERGENCY STOP / EMERGENCY OFF (EXTERNAL)
The Relay Unit RZ 071-D is fitted with a terminal
No. 19, to connect EMERGENCY STOP push-
buttons.
Only one short pulse is needed to initiate the
EMERGENCY STOP procedure. Independent of
actual operational mode, the following functions
will be activated:
∗ Tripping of generator breaker;
∗ Shut-down of generator set;
∗ Locking-out of control unit for any further start
attempt (Indication: AUTOMATIC DEVICE
LOCKED).
INTEGRATED OUTPUT POWER CONTROLLER (OPTIONALLY)
The output power controller (assembled optionally,
on demand) is configurable to act as a constant
power value controller, or as a sliding power value
controller. The generator set, running in parallel
with mains, will be charged with parametered load
(constant power value controller), or with a load
corresponding to the set value of measuring input,
terminal 7 (sliding power value controller). The
power control system is active only, when opera-
tional mode AUTOMATIC or TRIAL is selected.
When the two-level action of power controller is not
activated, an external controller has to be pro-
vided. Suitable relays for connecting an external
controller are configurable.
The actual generator output value has to be con-
nected as active power transducer signal to meas-
uring terminal 8. The active power transducer shall
supply an output signal of 0 / 4 / 20 mA, corre-
sponding to -25 / 0 / +100 % of generator output.
The signal range from 0 to 4 mA (according to -25
to 0 % of generator output) is required to monitor
REVERSE POWER.
All installed measuring current loops shall be
potential-free.
The output signal of 4 - 20 mA corresponds
with declared power value of measuring trans-
ducer, but not with a percentage of generator’s
output power.

nected to control outputs, shall have anti-
interference protection!
NOTICE: When installing the switchboard wiring,
an additionally wired direct connection to the en-
gine set's shut-down equipment shall be provided,
overriding the computer controlled EMERGENCY
STOP function.
To perform a complete EMERGENCY OFF func-
tion, not only the terminal No. 19 of Relay Unit
RZ 071 for EMERGENCY STOP has to be con-
nected, but it has to be made sure also, that the
mains breaker will be tripped on receiving this
command.
This is important to be considered, when operating
as sliding power value controller. When connected
to a main control station, the value of 100 % gen-
erator output has to be calculated. The measuring
input, of course, then shall not be used for monitor-
ing the battery voltage.
The power controller is acting in a two-level mode.
The following parameters may be entered:
∗ Internal controller activated or not activated;
∗ Constant power or sliding power value control;
∗ Measuring range of active power transducer;
∗ Rated power of generator set;
∗ Nominal power for constant power control;
∗ Hysteresis of power controller;
∗ Response value for REVERSE POWER;
∗ Alarm delay for REVERSE POWER;
∗ Fault signal for REVERSE POWER;
∗ Pulse duration for speed adjusting;
∗ Intervals for generator loading;
∗ Interval at final control value;
∗ Monitoring delay for generator unloading.
The generator set will be charged gradually, after
having been coupled to run parallel with mains
supply. For a weak load transfer, the time value of
intervals for generator loading has to be chosen of
suitable duration.
When the range limits of parametered output
power once have been attained, another (shorter)
interval between adjusting pulses will become ef-
 TA71SXXE.01 - 15 -
fective, so the controller will be capable to react
rapidly to a deviation from set value.
On ending the peak load supply, the generator set
will be unloaded gradually. When actual value falls
below 10 % of generator rated output, the genera-
tor circuit breaker will be opened. At the same
time, the input for signal UNLOADED will be moni-
tored. In case a L(-) potential is available, the gen-
erator breaker also will be tripped immediately.
INTEGRATED AUTOMATIC SYNCHRONIZER (OPTIONALLY)
The internal automatic synchronizer (assembled
optionally, on demand) is acting as a single-
channel device, on which the closing time of circuit
breaker is configurable. Because the measuring
voltage is only single phase connected, for safety
reasons a check synchronizer should be installed,
as a second channel device.
When monitoring the duration of synchronizing
procedure, a fault signal may be initiated on ex-
ceeding the time. It is configurable, whether the
change-over of load shall be executed with an in-
terruption, or the automatic synchronizing proce-
dure shall continue to act.
The following parameters may be entered:
∗ Automatic synchronizer activated or not acti-
vated;
∗ Permitted difference frequency;
∗ Permitted difference voltage;
∗ Closing time of circuit breaker (or contactor);
∗ Fault signal delay for SYNCHR. FAILURE;
∗ No. of fault signal indication, which shall be
coupled;
∗ Pulse length for frequency matching;
∗ Interval between pulses.
The difference frequency is adjustable within a
range of 0.1 to 0.4 Hz, and the breaker’s closing
07 / 96
On the event of activating the generator’s unload-
ing, a timer will be started. When the configured
time has elapsed, without any unloading, probably
the speed control circuit may be faulty, and the
generator breaker also will be tripped, independent
of actual load.
In case of performing an external power controller,
the signal UNLOADED has to be led to relay unit
input.
time within a range of 40 to 140 ms (in steps of
20 ms). The recommended settings are:
∗ Difference frequency: 0.2 ... 0.3 Hz;
∗ Difference voltage: 10 % of rated voltage.
When operating generating sets with large rotating
masses, it is recommended to equip the automatic
synchronizer, type KSY 11.
When activated, the automatic synchronizer will
check, whether the difference frequency is within
the permitted limits or not. If not, an adequate
pulse to the speed governor will be emitted, fol-
lowed by an interval, enabling the engine set to re-
act. During the interval, the synchronizing action is
restrained.
When the difference frequency should be less than
0.08 Hz, an output signal for SPEEDING UP will
be emitted.
The difference voltage also will be checked. In
case of deviations being out of permissible limits,
the synchronizing will be locked out.
On full compliance of parameters, the breaker
closing pulse will be emitted with an advance time
(which equals closing time) before the moment of
synchronism. The closing pulse has double length
of closing time.

PARAMETERING

The following table shows the standard shop-configura-
tion, which is executed in case of no special customer’s
requirements. However, all values may be entered or
varied later, using a PC or a laptop. The label stripes of
fault signal indications may be printed with a PC write
program; the labels are easy to exchange. Values that
are configurable are identified by squared brackets [ ].
On request, the parameters will be shop-adjusted. For
this purpose, please send a copy of the list below, with
filled-in required values.
Other internal signal functions (for example „Push-button
selector OFF actuated“) are suitable to be parametered
on certain relays. In case of need, please contact our
sales department for further information.
