sential that you refer to the technical documentation
(latest version always available on our website www.
cretechnology.com) for the commissioning.
For any further information on this product, please
contact your local distributor or agent or directly our
support team.

OPERATIONNAL MODES
The GENSYS COMPACT MAINS can be configured and controlled with the front panel, which is separated into two parts:
1. The top end and middle part: dedicated to the navigation, monitoring and measure display.
2. The bottom end part: dedicated to the 3 functioning modes selection:
·AUTO - This mode makes the GENSYS COMPACT MAINS operate the installation in a fully automatic mode according to its settings and configuration, external action
to start : “remote start digital input”, Mains failure” or TCP ModBus.
·TEST - This mode simulates the start of the Auto mode with the requested sequences, to exit from the TEST mode, simply press AUTO or press MANUAL mode.
·MANU - This mode allows you to manage your installation with the front panel buttons manually: you will be able to start/stop the generator, open/close the breakers while
still benefiting from the active protections of the GENSYS COMPACT MAINS and the automatic synchronization and power management sequences.
Once the GENSYS COMPACT MAINS is switched on, you can access the menu on 3 different levels ( to access the password page, press ESC. or ENTER):
·Level 0 : No password required, just press «ENTER» to access the display,
·Level 1 : Just press «ENTER» to go on Display menu. Press «↓» to select «configuration» or «system» of the GENSYS COMPACT MAINS. Press «ENTER» to switch to
password mode. Press «↑» to change the character; press «→» to move to the next character. Level 1 password is «1».
NOTE : The Level 1 password gives you access to the minimum settings recommended to start your commissioning on your power plant. This level "1" is equivalent to «stand-
ard mode» on the i4Gen Suite software.
·Level 2 : Just press «ENTER» to go on Display menu. Press «↓» to select «configuration» or «system» of the GENSYS COMPACT MAINS. Press «ENTER» to switch to
password mode. Press «↑» to change the character; press «→» to move to the next character. Level 2 password is «1234».
NOTE : The level 2 password gives you access to all settings to commission your power plant. This level “2” is equivalent to “advanced mode” on the i4Gen Suite software. For
complex settings, which are not available through the front panel of the module, you can use i4Gen Suite (Analogue inputs, Easyflex, Scheduler, etc ..).

Installation of the i4Gen Suite SOFTWARE
Download the latest version of the software on our website
www.cretechnology.com/en/c/33/products/software
PC CONNECTION - WITH I4GEN SUITE SOFTWARE
Click on the icon “AUTO CONFIGURATION”
to adapt IP's address
Open the i4Gen Suite
software and go on
Easy connect menu
(on the top right)
Click on the icon “SCAN”.
Your GENSYS COMPACT MAINS will appear
You can click to connect on the product.
ONCE CONNECTED, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO NAVIGATE THROUGH THE FOLLOWING MENUS
CONTROLLER SUPERVISION
(Visualization of all parameters)
CONTROLLER DYNAMIC SETTINGS
(Parameters settings with engine running)
APPLICATION SETTINGS
(PC software settings)
• In Manu mode: Start/Stop the engine, and check protections (oil pressure, water temp, emergency stop, etc …). Open mains breaker and close generator breaker. Apply some
load on generator, and check that kW power are positive on each phase.
• Connect the controller analog outputs on speed governor and AVR products, and Execute Easy Calib function to control and adjust automatically the 2 analog signals.
• Check that you have the right and accurate nominal frequency and nominal voltage. By increasing/decreasing manually the speed, check that you have a range of +/- 2,5Hz.
By increasing/decreasing manually the voltage, check that you have a range of +/- 8%.
• Disconnect the breaker relay output of the controller. Apply synchronization, and check if frequency, phase and voltage difference are within the expected limits. Apply the
same procedure to control the Mains breaker.
• Mains paralleling can be tested, and stability can be adjusted.
• After commissioning, the product can be switched to AUTO mode.
Your system is ready
CONTROL LOOPS ADJUSTMENT
To adjust these parameters, we offer, on the same screen, the real time curves visualization of parameter setpoint and measure-
ment.These 2 curves will help you to adjust PID for global stability. It is available for synchronization (Frequency, phase, and
voltage), and power control (kW/kVAR).
• With level 1 of the controller (standard mode with i4Gen Suite), you have access and you can set the global gain G.
• With level 2 of the controller (advanced mode with i4Gen Suite), you have access and you can set Proportional P, Integral I
and Derivative D:
• Increase P value to have measure curve close to setpoint curse, without hunting.
• Increase I to decrease the static error (difference between setpoint and measure), without slow hunting.
• Only if necessary, increase D, for oscillation attenuation.

NOTE
Before the commissioning or the operation of your equipment, please read
carefully the user’s manual and other related documentations.
Engines, turbines or any other type of Generator must be equipped with pro-
tections (overspeed, temperature, pressure… depending on your installation).
We also offer personalized and specific training on our product range and
software, as well as additional services such as: onsite support, application
engineering or specific support.
COMMISSIONING
Switch on the controller. Connect the Ethernet port (RJ45-LAN) of your computer to the Ethernet port of the controller. To be able to establish communication between the i4Gen Suite
and the controller, the network addresses of both devices should be configured:
1. For PC network configuration, please refer to your Windows network settings.
2. The controller network configuration can be done from the controller front panel or via the i4Gen Suite software.
3. The network configuration of both devices has to be compatible: The IP address by default of CRE TECHNOLOGY controllers is: 192.168.11.1
Carefully apply the safety instructions. Any misuse of your
equipment can lead to human or machine damages.
