UTILITY
Supposing that the mains R is within the normal limits, the CR mains contact maker is closed therefore the
utility is powered from the mains. The M02 module controls the R mains and if there should be a drop in
voltage, a phase should be missing or the phases should be dissymmetrical, the control panel:
1. opens the CR mains contact maker;
2. starts the G-M generator unit, which when the established operating conditions are reached, the M02
module closes the CG contact maker that then powers the utility from the generator unit G;
NOTE: When running, the M motor and G generator are safeguarded against possible anomalies, which if
encountered, cause the generator to stop immediately and the cause for the alarm is saved and displayed (i.e.
low oil pressure, overload and so on);
3. When the R mains is restored within the normal limits, the M02 after an adjustable delay, opens the
contact maker of the CG generator and one second later closes the CR contact maker, thus powering the
utility from the mains again;
4. The generator continues to run for at least another minute to cool down after which it stops automatically;
NOTE: Even when the generator is stopped, some safety devices relating to the fuel and water level are
enabled and if an anomaly is detected an alarm status is triggered. The switching of the mains/generator is
also constantly controlled and if there should be an overload on the mains contact maker an alarm buzzer is
triggered.
To ensure the perfect efficiency of the generator a battery charger automatically holds the battery perfectly
efficient. An automatic fuel filling system constantly keeps the correct level in the daily tank. A pre -heating
system maintains the motor at the ideal temp erature so that it is ready to start whenever necessary.

The led WAIT/PROG indicates an elaboration in progress from the microcontroller: to the
end of the flashing the result of the elaboration it will be had. Es.: when the led is turned on, on
the pylon of the mains it means that the mains has reentered in the normal values; the switching
gen-set-mains CG/CR is had only after a certain delay, during which the led WAIT/PROG
flashes.
The GCM02 is provided with automatic command of the pomp of restocking gas-oil: when the
led is turned and the button serves to the manual command.
The button of starting motor (START) is trained only when the switch is in pos. MANUAL
START. The command is directed and to motor in running it is necessary to leave the button.The
led indicates that the command of starting is in progress.
The button of arrest (Stop), always trained, it has to be pressed up to the suit arrest of the
motor. The led indicates that the command of arrest is in progress.
The operational modes that can be selected with the programming switch are six, namely:
1.5.1 Automatic test: This starts to test the generator without disconnecting the mains power supply from the utility. When the
switch is turned back to automatic mode the generator stops following a delay of roughly one minute (it is used for periodic
tests or to check the running efficiency following maintenance).
1.5.2 Automatic mode; if there should be a failure in the mains the circuit board responds by opening the mains contact maker. If
the generator fails to start another 4 starting attempts are made. 10 seconds after it has started the generator powers the
utility. While running the generator and motor are constantly controlled and a possible anomaly is immediately displayed
(examples: fuel reserve, water level, overload, min. voltage etc.) and the relative stopping cycle is triggered. Once the mains is
re-connected, following the set time, the utility is switched back to the mains and the generator is stopped following a delay of
roughly one minute to allow it to cool down (this is the normal operational situation ).
1.5.3 Lock: this sets the generator in a locked status. It completely disables every possibility of starting while the mains power the
utility. This mode is used to work on the system in complete safety, being certain that the generator will not start even if the
mains should be disconnected ( it is used during maintenance).
1.5.4 Manual mains: this enables the forces the power supply from the mains even if the command and control electronics are
faulty (it is used when the generator is left inoperative).
1.5.5 Manual starting: this enables the generator to be started manually using the start push button. The control is direct without
the involvement of electronic components. It ensures the operation of the generator even when the electronics are faulty (it is
used for the manual emergency controls or for maintenance purposes).
WARNING
When the programming switch is in this position all the utility circuits of the generator are powered such as the solenoid
valves, electronic rpm regulators etc. If the switch is forgotten in this position with the generator stopped the starting battery
would run flat very quickly.
1.5.6 Manual generator: this enables the forced power supply from the generator (it is available for manual procedures or in
the case of problems with the automatic functions).
STOP
This is enabled whatever the situation.
It is to be held down until the motor stops completely
EMERGENCY STOP
If pressed, the red mushroom push button in the middle of the door stops the generator immediately, instantaneously opening the
contact maker of the generator (CG) thus locking it.
To release the emergency status set the programming switch in Lock position and then turn the emergency push button and pull up.
WAIT/PROG
A newly conceived and remarkably useful LED has been fitted on the GCM02 module to assist the operator, namely the WAIT/PROG
LED. This LED flashes each time the timer is triggered informing the operator what is happening even over a lengthy timer period.
All LEDs are provided with a general description that make the control panel easily comprehensible.
SUMMARY
The unit is normally programmed in AUTOMATIC mode.
When any jobs are to be performed on the generator it is to be set in the LOCKED status.
If the generator is not to start even if the mains is disconnected it is to be set in the MANUAL MAINS status. The reason for this is that if,
while the generator is not working, there should be a failure in the electronics, the power supply from the mains would be ensured in any
case.
1.6 PROGRAMMING
If the electronic module should be disconnected from the power supply, the established weekly timer programming is deleted,
consequently all the functions foreseen for the internal timer would fail to work at the time and on the day programmed therefore the
weekly timer is to be re-programmed.
Access the page below to re-program it.
Press ENTER, the day flashes. Using the +/- keys modify the day and press
ENTER to confirm. The time flashes. Using the +/- keys modify the time and
confirm with ENTER. The same goes for the minutes and seconds.
You cannot change page until programming is complete.
ALARM SILENCING
With the state of alarm the red led of alarm on the motor flashes and the sonorous is active alarm. Pressing once the SILENT button the
acoustic alarm is interrupted, the red led on the motor remains turned on to fixed light
FUNCTIONS RESET
Pressing the RESET button two times the conditions of alarm are annulled, all the functions are restored and the red led on the motor is
turned off.
The GCM02 is set up for special operating functions, such as: automatic testing or cut-out, routine
maintenance, remote control, etc. GEN OPERATION
When these are active, a page comes up on the display when they are activated, indicating which CUT -OUT
function is active.
There are functions that affect how the unit operates and that require direct intervention to allow the unit to be used:
GE CUT-OUT
The cut-out function is mainly used when the unit is run in a built- up area, and emergency standby is not required outside of working
hours. During the cut- out hours, if the mains power supply fails the unit does not react, and should it be necessary to start up the unit
during this time, this can only be done manually.
SERVICE REQUEST
This does not change the operating status, but raises an acoustic alarm to mark the set time, and a message reading SERVICE appears
on the display ALARM MAINTENACE 1 or ALARM MAINTENANCE 2, pressing RESET the function is restored.
REMOTE CONTROL
The unit can run under remote control by using remote communication (PC or modem or GSM), and this can be activated automatically.
WARNING
It is strictly prohibited for anyone to touch powered parts.
Overload fault
This may cause the unit’s trip switch to open (lever in central “TRIPPED” position). This must be reset by
pushing the lever down to the OFF position and then returning it to the ON position. Where switches have been
installed inside the electrical board, follow the ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE procedure before opening the
board.
SUMMARY:
On a periodic basis check the electrolytic level of the clear batteries. Touch the motor to feel if it is warm (if equipped with pre-
heating system) and execute an automatic test.
The control panel is entirely manufactured in compliance with the following European standards:
ANS low voltage electrical control panels EN 60439-1
EMC electromagnetic compatibility directive 89/336/EEC
Each control panel or device is completely tested and supplied with test certificate, declaration of conformity and EC marking in
compliance with 626 safety standards.
The control panel is manufactured in a steel sheet cabinet, 15-20/10 that is skilfully treated and painted with standard grey silicon epoxy
powder, Ral 7032, and has a standard protection rating of IP 42.
EXTERNAL COMPOSITION
The control panel consists of the following:
1. GCM02 electronic circuit board that houses the control logic, control and reading of the operational parameters of the generator;
2. Emergency stop mushroom push button (optional) ;
3. Nameplate with operational standards;
4. Nameplate with safety instructions.
INTERNAL COMPOSITION
1. numbered cables placed within PVC sheathing;
2. 10 x 38 fuses with disconnectable fuse boxes;
3. battery charger transformer of adequate capacity;
4. automatic generator protection switch (if provided);
5. switch with tetrapolar contact makers of adequate capacity for the power of the unit, interlocked mechanically and electrically and
scaled in AC1 in compliance with standard ISO DIS 8528-4 ;
6. three amperometric transformers for measuring the generator and mains current;
7. terminal for the mains and generator inputs, the utility output and any auxiliary connections;
8. safety fuse gauges and connection terminals nameplate.
Switching is controlled directly by CG and CR relays built in the MP-M02 module, which directly command switching via unpowered
contacts.
IMPORTANT
The CG and CR command contacts are normally closed to allow the command circuits, in the case of
certain anomalies, to force the mains contact maker to close. For example by disconnecting the battery
and also the power supply to the battery charger transformer the mains contact maker is forced to close.
READINGS
All readings are shown on the display on two lines of 16 alphanumerical characters.
All the reading pages are controlled using the +/- push buttons, which run in both directions.
The reading pages available are the following:
• mains status, volts, hertz and amperes of phase 1
• R, S, T line mains voltage.
• RN, SN TN mains star voltage.
• Current on the three phases mains;
• KVA, KW, KWAr mains powers;
• Power factor, cosfì HZ mains;
• Generator status, volts, hertz and amperes of phase 1
• X, Y, Z line generator voltage.
• XN, YN, ZN generator star voltage;
• Current on the three phases gen-set;

If an alarm is triggered it will be shown on the display. For example a low oil pressure, fuel reserve, high battery voltage alarm, etc.
All operational modes are controlled by the GC-M02 control panel equipped with a programming switch to select the following functions:
1. TEST
2. AUTOMATIC MODE
3. LOCK MODE
4. POWER SUPPLY FROM MAINS.
5. MANUAL START.
6. POWER SUPPLY FROM GENERATOR.
1 TEST
1.A. it performs all the automatic functions with the exception of the switching function.
1.B. it tests the efficiency of the whole system without disconnecting the mains power supply
to the utility.
1.C. all safety devices are enabled while the test is running.
1.D. if the mains should be disconnected while the test is running the generator starts immediately .
1.E. the test ends automatically when the mains power supply is restored or following a programmed external command.
2 AUTOMATIC MODE
2.A. A special three-phase voltage relay is capable of working at a voltage of 8Kv to safeguard the mains against:
• sagging of over -20% of the rated voltage (this can be modified);
• excessive rise in the rated voltage of over +15% (this can be modified);
• missing phase;
• incorrect angle between the phases (phase displacement).
2.B. If one of the above-mentioned anomalies should occur the CR mains contact maker is immediately opened to safeguard its
integrity also in the case of excessive voltage sagging.
2.C. When the mains is disconnected a starting delay timer is triggered (programmable time). It makes the system insensitive to
brief mains disconnections. A buzzer will sound in this case.

2.I When an alarm is triggered and the generator is stopped, the following occurs:
• The alarm triggered appears on the display.
• The generator contact maker is immediately opened.
• Activation of the immediate stop SI or delayed SR after the phase of cooling motor (if enabled stop)
• Activation of the acoustic alarm and lighting of the flashing red led on the drawing of the engine.
• The alarm cause is saved.
• The LOCKED status is triggered until the alarm is reset, the first impulse to SILENT /RESET/ACK button it silents the acoustic

2.6.2 ANALOGUE MOTOR PARAMETER READING INPUTS (PRESSURE, TEMPERATURE AND FUEL
LEVEL)
The three inputs 15-16-17 used to read the pressure, temperature and fuel level can be configured using the SW2 switch (on the MP02
unit) for motors type MTU that output 0-10V for the above- mentioned readings.
JUMPER INPUT
When SW2 is configured to “ON”, normal motor probes (transducers) of a VDO or VEGLIA type can be used (which can be configured
from the Misc. Settings Menu). Since they are not linear, the working fields available are restricted by the limits of the transducers.
Where the probe is not installed, no indication will appear on the display automatically.
When individually configured as “OFF” the three inputs operate at between 0 and 10V, and are connected directly to the MTU motors
and others of the same concept for taking motor measurements. The reading scale can be changed from the Measurements Menu.

The ty pe of operation is selected on the basis of the positioning of the current transformers (CT), via “misc. settings” by selecting:
1. for units without switching (CT ON GENERATOR );
2. for units with switching (CT ON SWITCHING ).
ELECTRONIC PROTECTION AGAINST OVERLOADS (51) AND SHORT-CIRCUITS (50) OF THE GENERATOR
The generators are supplied with their power expressed in KVA because the effective capacity limitation on the generator is given by the
Amps on the coils. Thus in order to effectively protect a generator the amps must be controlled.
Overloads 51:
If the rated current of the generator is exceeded following a set timing the generator contact maker is opened (at the same time the TRIP
40 and 41 contact is activated), the overload alarm is triggered and the generator is stopped following the motor cooling phase
(DEFAULT). (IT CAN BE EXCLUDED REGULATING THE THRESHOLD TO ZERO)
Short-circuit 50:
It trips immediately when the load current exceeds of 2 sec. the parameter set . The generator is stopped in the same way as in the
case of overloads. (IT CAN BE EXCLUDED REGULATING THE THRESHOLD TO ZERO)
These are active when the Generator Current contact is closed at 25.
Set under threshold and time settings.
WARNING measuring TAs are provided for the 50 function, to protect against shortcircuits, that are able to provide three times the
nominal current (5x3 = 15 A) in linear mode without reaching saturation.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The M02 uses a toroidal transformer on the load power supply line (fig. B) to constantly monitor the sum of the supply and return
currents. When the difference exceeds the set value, this indicates that part of the current is dispersed to earth, and after the relevant
delay the load is deactivated via commands 41 and 42.
This function is available from GCM02MP modules rel. 6.0 or superiors.
Connections
Fig. A shows the 67G earthed fault protection commonly used in generators, since in addition to protect the unit against direct contacts, it
also detects leakage to earth from the generator’s coils. The insulation between the neutral (N) and the earth (PE) must be checked on
setting the unit up, as any link between the two would by-pass the differential trip switch.

EMERGENCY DEVICE
Pre-arrangement for the external emergency command enabled in all operational modes with immediate stoppage of the motor, opening
of the generator contact maker and triggering of the alarm.
The emergency device not only controls the control software of the circuit board but is also equipped with an electro- mechanical circuit
that totally ensures the stoppage of the unit and the opening of the generator contact maker.
WARNING
The command is double, the NO contact of the emergency push button is required to ensure the immediate opening of the
generator contact maker even in the case of an anomaly in the electronics. In fact to ensure the emergency power supply even
in extreme cases the contact that commands the mains and generator contact makers (CG-CR) is normally closed (NC),
therefore if the contact maker is to be opened, the command relay must be powered. The motor stoppage on the other hand is
ensured by the NC contact (positive safety), which disconnects the power supply from the motor even if the circuit is
disconnected or in the case of an anomaly in the electronics (as per standard).

OPERATING STATUS
A page on the display has been set aside to show the unit’s status, to facilitate use of the FUNZIONAMENTO
generator. This page shows all status indications such as: automatic test, cut- out, forced GRUPPO BLOCCATO
starting, remote controlled, pilot generator, standby generator, clock to be set, etc.
These status indications allow the operator to know the status of the unit, and what to do. For example:
a) clock to be set = the battery has been disconnected and the clock must be reset as some operations need to use the clock;
b) cut-out = Stop command, the generator cannot react automatically and can only be controlled manually;
c) forced start = the generator is controlled by forced power supply, and can only be operated manually.
CUSTOMISATION
This page can only be seen if programmed. It has two lines, the first can be used to enter a name
AEZ BOLOGNA ITALIA
of up to 16 characters, and the second for a telephone number of up to 16 digits.
0039 051 739099
During the starting up phase a number of outputs may be in an abnormal condition. To identify these the status of all the inputs and
outputs are indicated on the display.
When a number of alarms are raised at the same time, these are shown on the display. Even after pushing RESET repeatedly it is
difficult to define all the alarms raised.
The correspondence table is used to identify all alarms raised and reset.
INPUT
Correspondence table, when the input or output is on “1”, this means that it is active (ON).
OUTPUT
Activate or deactivate this function and enter the cut- out time CUT-OUT ON/OFF 00:00
If ON is active, select the days of the week (MTWTFSS) and the time the cut- out is to end - OFF 00:00
When the unit is working without the mains power supply, the cut- out function determines the times at which the generator is stopped.
Outside of these hours the unit is placed in automatic mode.
Example: it needs to program that a gen-set works every working days from 7 to 21 and the remaining hours it has to be
stopped

The following remote commands and controls are available in the terminal board that can be configured on inputs 18-20:
1. Remote locking command to assure that the unit is not started when there is no mains power supply (overnight locking
and week-end shutdown for offices etc.).
2. Remote automatic test command (TEST) to remotely start the generator.
3. EJP function command (Programmable).
4. Remote starting command with forced output even in the presence of the mains power supply (SCR).
5. Stand-by generator operation command used to program the two units that run alternately for a set amount of time.

GSM
The IS-03 serial interface unit for the serial communication has to be set to work in two different way of serial connection: RS232 and RS485.
On this unit there are also a green led and another red, the green is the transmission function (TX) and the red is the receipt, flashing during
the operation.
In the following figure is brought the external view of the IS03 unit.
The jumper, opportunely connected, enables the closing of the line of the RS485 serial, inserting the resistance R which closes the line.
For the connection from the ISO3 to PC by RS232 interface, it needs a wire null- modem (standard for PC); his configuration is the following:

COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
The standard MODBUS RTU is particular type of protocol, suitable to communicate on a RS485 serial up to max speed of 256 Kb/s.
The speed used as standard is however that of 9600 Kb/s. At the end of the manual, in the appendixes section, there are the modbus mapper,
they cab be used on serial mains controlled from PLC etc.
N.B. being the IS03 an interface from the intelligent technology needs to do so that during the lighting this is
already connected to the unit because it happens a particular control of handshake that the serial trains to
the functioning After all to the manual, in the appendixes section, there are the mappers
If after the lighting the TX green led is again turned, press reset for to repeat the handshake with the IS03.
IMPORTANT!!! If it has a modem also trained to the operation GSM it is of fundamental importance to remember also to insert before the
start the SIM card opportunely trained to the traffic data, a standard SIM (not trained to the data communication) it allows only the
communication by SMS.
As first operation to feed the modem inside the GCM-02 unit.
In the case of modem GSM needs immediately to insert the number of the PIN of the telephone SIM and subsequently to set in the field of the
"serial regulations", they cab be activated elevating the switch 4, the telephone numbers of reference (two normal and two trained for the sms)
to which it has to correspond a computer with our software. In case of signallings of alarms before they are contacted the numbers
corresponding to the sms and subsequently those with the normal numbers.
It is important for a correct control, to insert gen-set identification number to make possible the controls and the modifications by the remote
control use.
The address modbus in standard conditions has to be set to 1; after set the modem that you want use and opportunely connected to the unit.
The U.S. Robotics modem works as a normal modem of telephone line and it is not trained to the function GSM. So, the communication speed
is usually set to 9600 Kb/s also if U.S. Robotics could work up to 57600 Kb/s.
When it operates with modem trained also to the use of the function GSM in the case in which the PIN of the SIM inserted resulted wrong the
signaling it would appear on the display "Alarm SIM PIN". In this case to come into the range of the serial regulations and to check the correct
insertion of the code and eventually to modify it. In the case the code for PUK is asked, due to the wrong digitation for three consecutive times
of the code PIN, to remove from the modem the card SIM and to handle the insertion of the code PUK through a normal cellular GSM.
When a modem is used also for to the functions GSM if you are in the functionings screening (that usually active) where the hour and tha day
are visualized you can also verify the field (signal radio) present. When the field results to be of smaller value than -91 dBs the communication
could result not perfect.
It is obviously possible to check the gen-set through a personal computer with the projected software adequately to the functions of the GCM-
02. It is possible in fact, once connected to the interested group, to command to distance the STOP, the START or the AUTOMATIC TEST of
the same group. In this case on the display of the GCM-02 following information are visualized respectively:
• START FROM SERIAL COMMAND
• STOP FROM SERIAL COMMAND
• AUTOMATIC TEST FROM SERIAL COMMAND
After 250" of absence of serial communication every command sent from PC is annulled and the GCM02 it takes back the normal operation.

2.18.1 POSITIONING
The control panel must have a protection rating (IP) suitable for the area in which it will be installed:
IP 42 (normal supply) for closed areas;
IP 55 in the case of possible splashing of water or for control panels exposed to rain.
WARNING !!!
It is advisable not to install the control panel further away than 20 meters from the generator.
QGE GENERATOR
CONTROL PANEL
MAX 20 m
This requirement is due to the excessive currents caused by lightening that hits the public mains causing the voltage inside the control panel to
rise excessively if the connection line exceeds 20 meters.
If there is no other choice than installing the control panel further away than 20 meters, our engineering
department can provide you with various technical solutions.
WARNING !!
To ensure the reliability of the system all of its components must be connected to earth.

2.18.8 ELECTRICAL STRENGTH TEST
The control panels that are subject to the electrical strength test are to be prepared baring in mind that the only connection point with the
electronic logic is established by the MAINS sensor (inputs 50 – 49- 48) to which a divider is connected that is made up of 3 500 K ohm
resistors for high voltage, for phase and connected to earth.
Therefore the R - S – T - N inputs are to be disconnected.
WARNING the wiring to the terminal contactors may introduce residual voltages into the M02, which may generate a value for a current
that does not exist. To eliminate this go into the measurements menu, zero the current and press Reset. The M02 starts self-programming. This
operation must be carried out without current in the power circuits. Where this charge cannot be eliminated, short circuit the wires to the Terminal
Contactors.
WARNING! It is absolutely prohibited to touch any parts while they are powered.
