displayed in English along with symbolic representation. Normally the display
auto scrolls and displays a parameter for 10 seconds, but any time the Next
key ( ) can be pressed to select the next parameter window.

• 4.0 Switches Description

ECON-M has 4 switches provided on its front panel. The table below
describes the operation of these.
Switch Switch Description
Symbol Function
Next Normal operation mode: In this mode, it is
used to change the parameters being
displayed on LCD.

Programming Mode: Next key is used to

select the next parameter to be programmed.

Increment This key has dual function

/Start Programming Mode: It is used to increment
the value of the parameters under
programming.

Manual mode: it is used to issue the crank/

start command to DG
Decrement This key has dual function
/Stop Programming mode: It is used to decrement
the value of the parameter under
programming.

Manual mode: It is used to issue the stop

command to DG
Reset Reset key resets the Hooter and Fault signals.
The first press shall reset the hooter and next
shall reset the faults. A long press of 1 Sec
shall reset both.
Programming If both the keys are pressed simultaneously
Mode Entry the unit will enter in Programming Mode.

• 5.0 LED Annunciations Description: ECON has two annunciations on its
front panel. These either announce the faults or indicate status of the
system.
Nomenclature Description
Warning This LED blinks in case of a warning.
Fault This LED blinks in case of a fault.

• 6.0 Lamp Test:

If the ECON is switched on while the reset switch is pressed, all the LEDs
start blinking till reset switch is kept pressed.. This state shall persist till the
switch is kept pressed and on release of the switch ECON shall start
functioning normally

*Manual Based Operation :

This mode is a pure manual operation mode. The engine has to be manually
started and stopped. The responsibility of disengaging the load from
generator and allowing the engine to cool before stopping has to be
performed by the operator. The engine and Alternators are protected while
the engine is running.

*RTC Based operation :

In ECON-M, the RTC based start stop can be activated. If activated the
engine can be made to automatically start at a given time of the day and stop
at a predefined time.

• 14.0 Relay Expander Module

The relay expander module provide a potential free contact for annunciations.
These annunciations can be enabled in the ECON (see “ Annunciations
Parameter”)

Relay expander module also offering a general purpose interface RS-485.

The RS-485 parameter can be changed in the econ (see “Comm RS-485")
.
The ECON controller communicate with expander module through RS-232
communication.

• 16.0 Load Management

ECON-A has programmable contact Load management function. The load
management contact will switch on when the current on the generator
has crossed a programmed limit and will reset when the current has fallen
below the reset programmed limit. This function can be used to cut-off
unnecessary loads or start a second generator when the load goes above a
limit.

• 17.0 Event Recording:

ECON keeps a log of last 64 events. Setting change and warning are
considered as event. Events are stamped along with date and time

• 18.0 Faults
ECON keeps a log of last 64 Faults. These Faults are stamped along with date
and time There are two categories of faults
• Internal Faults
• External faults

• 18.1 Internal Faults

Internal faults are the faults, which do not need any external signals and are
detected by the system itself. They are:
• Generator Voltage Unhealthy
• Generator Frequency Unhealthy.
• Generator over Speed.
• Over Load

Operating Instructions Page - 31

• 18.2 External Faults

Those faults which cannot be sensed by the unit itself (these faults are not
reflected by the generator voltage) and are to be provided externally. They are:
• LLOP • HWT • Oil Level
• RWL • Fuel • Oil Temp.
• Emergency • Canopy Temp • Earth Fault

• 18.3 Fault Reset

Internal Faults & LLOP fault:
All internal faults and LLOP fault can be reset by pressing (R) switch after the
generator is stopped. External Fault except LLOP & V-Belt faults:
These faults cannot be reset till the engine is running and/or fault conditions
persist. Once the faults are rectified, the fault can be reset by pressing Reset
switch (R). In case the engine fails to stop “STOP KEY” can be pressed for
manual attempt to stop engine
