General Guidelines
This manual provides general information on how to operate the InteliMains NT controllers and it is
intended for everybody who is concerned with operation and maintenance of the controller.
Controller System Description
IM-NT controller is comprehensive mains supervision controller for multiple generating sets operating
in parallel to the Mains. The controller automatically connects the group of gen-sets to the Mains.
A modular construction allow upgrades to different levels of complexity in order to provide the best
solution for various customer applications.
The key feature of the controller is its easy-to-use operation and installation. Predefined configurations
for typical applications are available as well as user-defined configurations for special applications.
Default Applications
For the IM-NT controller there are three default applications: BTB, MCB, MGCB.
BTB
Bus-Tie Breaker application
MCB
Mains Circuit Breaker and application
MGCB
Master Generator Circuit Breaker application
BTB application
- Controller is between two groups of gen-sets (buses)
- Controls only Bust-tie Breaker (BTB)
- Enables reverse synchronization of one group to another
MCB application
- Controller is between bus (group of gen-sets) and the Mains
- Controls only one Mains Circuit Breaker (MCB)
- Enables reverse synchronization of the gen-sets to the Mains
MGCB application
- Controller is between bus (group of gen-sets) and the Mains
- Controls Mains Circuit Breaker (MCB) and MGCB (Master Generator Circuit Breaker)
- Enables reverse synchronization of the gen-sets to the Mains (over MCB)
- Enables forward synchronization of the gen-sets (over MGCB)

Inteli Communication Manuals
InteliCommunicationGuide.pdf
This manual covers communication topics regarding all types of our controllers. It applies to
communication between the controller and superior service or monitoring system but not to
communication among the controllers or between the controller and it’s peripherals (extension
modules, ECU).
It is divided into the following chapters:
•Local connection
•Remote connection
•Modem connection
•Internet connection
•Active call, active SMS, active email
•Modbus connection
•I-LB, IG-IB communication units
•Modem recommendations
•Recommended converters

ConformityDeclaration
Following described machine complies with the appropriate basic safety and health
requirement of the EC Low Voltage Directive No: 73/23 / EEC and EC
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 89/336 / EEC based on its design and type,
as brought into circulation by us.
WARNING –VERY IMPORTANT!!!
For BTB
Every time you want to disconnect the following InteliMains controller
terminals:
•Bus voltage measuring and / or
•Binary outputs for BTB control and / or
•BTB feedback
switch InteliMains to MAN mode!
For MCB/MGCB
Every time you want to disconnect the following InteliMains controller
terminals:
•Mains voltage measuring and / or
•Binary outputs for MCB control and / or
•MCB feedback
switch InteliMains to MAN mode!
!!! CAUTION !!!
Dangerous Voltage
In no case touch the terminals for voltage and current measurement!
Always properly connect grounding terminals!
Take care when disconnecting In/Im3 terminals when the gen-set is stopped.
For safety connect parallel to controller In/Im3 terminals two anti parallel diodes 10A/100V.
In any case do not disconnect generator CT terminals when the gen-set is loaded.
Adjust Set Points
All setpoints are preadjusted to their typical values. But the setpoints in the “Basic settings”
settings group !!must!! be adjusted before the first startup of the gen-set.
!!! WRONG ADJUSTMENT OF BASIC PARAMETERS
CAN DESTROY THE GEN-SET !!!
The following instructions are for qualified personnel only.
To avoid personal injury do not perform any action not specified in this manual !!!
Adjust set points
