1. Introduction
1.1 About the Operator's manual
1.1.1 Intended users of the Operator's manual
This is the operator's manual for DEIF's Paralleling and Protection Unit, PPU 300. The manual is for the operator who uses the
controller display unit. The manual includes an introduction to the display unit (LEDs, push-buttons and screen), basic operator
tasks, alarms, logs, more advanced operator tasks, and troubleshooting. The information in this manual is simplified and general.
More information
See the Designer's handbook for more detailed information and descriptions..
DANGER!
Read this manual before you operate the system. Failure to do this could result in personal injury and damage to the
equipment.
1.1.2 Software versions
The information in this document corresponds to the following software versions.
Table 1.1 Software versions
Software Details Version
PCM APPL Controller application 1.0.7.x
DU APPL Display unit application 1.0.13.x
PICUS PC software 1.0.12.x
1.1.3 Technical support
You can read about service and support options on the DEIF website, www.deif.com. You can also find contact details on the DEIF
website.
You have the following options if you need technical support:
• Help: The display unit includes context-sensitive help.

You can also e-mail [email protected].
• Service: DEIF engineers can help with design, commissioning, operating and optimisation.
1.2 Warnings and safety
1.2.1 Safety during installation and operation
Installing and operating the equipment may require work with dangerous currents and voltages. The installation must only be carried
out by authorised personnel who understand the risks involved in working with electrical equipment.
DANGER!
Hazardous live currents and voltages. Do not touch any terminals, especially the AC measurement inputs and the relay
terminals. Touching the terminals could lead to injury or death.
OPERATOR'S MANUAL 4189341099G UK Page 6 of 130

1.2.2 Remote-controlled starts
The gensets can be started by remote signals (for example, by sending a Modbus signal, or using PICUS). To avoid personal injury,
the genset design, the layout, and maintenance procedures must take this into account.
1.2.3 Switchboard control
Under Switchboard control, the operator controls and operates the equipment from the switchboard. When Switchboard control is
activated:
• The controller trips the breaker and/or shuts down the engine, if an alarm situation arises that requires a trip and/or shutdown.
• The controller DOES NOT accept operator commands.
• The controller cannot and DOES NOT prevent any manual operator actions.
The switchboard design must therefore ensure that the system is sufficiently protected when the controller is under Switchboard
control.
1.2.4 Do not manually override active alarm actions
DANGER!
Do not use switchboard or manual control to override the alarm action of an active alarm.
An alarm may be active because it is latched, or because the alarm condition is still present. If the alarm action is manually
overridden, a latched alarm does not do its alarm action again. In this situation, the latched alarm does not provide protection.
Latched Over-current alarm example
The controller trips a breaker because of over-current. The operator then manually (that is, not using the controller) closes
the breaker while the Over-current alarm is still latched.
If another over-current situation arises, the controller does not trip the breaker again. The controller regards the original
Over-current latched alarm as still active, and it does not provide protection.
1.3 Legal information
1.3.1 Third party equipment
DEIF takes no responsibility for the installation or operation of any third party equipment, including the genset. Contact the genset
company if you have any doubt about how to install or operate the genset.
1.3.2 Open source software
This product contains open source software licensed under, for example, the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL) and GNU
Lesser General Public License (GNU LGPL). The source code for this software can be obtained by contacting DEIF at

1.3.3 Disclaimer
DEIF A/S reserves the right to change any of the contents of this document without prior notice.
The English version of this document always contains the most recent and up-to-date information about the product. DEIF does not
take responsibility for the accuracy of translations, and translations might not be updated at the same time as the English document.
If there is a discrepancy, the English version prevails.

2. Overview of the controller
2.1 Overview
2.1.1 Operating the PPU 300
The PPU 300 controllers ensure that the system is protected for typical marine applications.
Only qualified people may install and commission the controllers. After the controllers are installed and commissioned, they are easy
to operate.
Push-buttons and LEDs
The operator can use the display unit push-buttons to operate the system. This includes changing modes, selecting actions to start
pre-programmed sequences, and silencing alarms. The push-buttons to start or stop the genset, or close or open the breaker(s), are
only active in LOCAL mode.
The operator can look at the display unit LEDs to see the operating status of the genset, breaker, and busbar.
Switchboard control
Each controller can be put under switchboard control. The operator then manually controls the genset speed and opens and closes
the breaker. Switchboard control is useful for troubleshooting. It can also be useful in extreme circumstances if the operator needs to
override the control system. Under switchboard control, all the controller functions are disabled. However, the controller protections
are still active. The controller monitors the operation, and if an alarm condition arises, the controller activates the alarm action.
Display unit screen*
The operator can monitor system operation on the display unit screen. The operator can also use the soft key buttons and the
display unit screen to log into the controller. The operator can then see the alarm lists and logs, and acknowledge and unlatch
alarms. The operator can also see and/or change the controller configuration.
PICUS*
PICUS - Power In Control Utility Software
PICUS is the PC programming and monitoring tool, available from DEIF free of charge. The operator can connect a computer with
PICUS to the controller by using a direct connection. The operator can log into the controller. The operator can then use PICUS to
monitor operation, send commands that correspond to the push-button actions, manage alarms, and see or change the controller
configuration.
INFO
See the PICUS manual for more information about how to monitor and change the controller configuration.
* Both the display unit and PICUS are controlled by user level permissions which grant or restrict access to features of the controller.
Some features or functions may not be accessible to an operator depending on the design of the controller permissions.
2.2 Operator messages
2.2.1 Controller status texts
The controller status texts are shown on the display unit screen status bar.

3.1.3 Display unit LEDs and push-buttons
The top part of the front of the display unit is the same for all controller types. It includes LEDs that show the controller status and a
push-button to silence the alarm horn. The other push-buttons allow the operator to see controller information on the display unit
screen. The actual information available to the operator depends on the permission access for the operator's log on profile.* Using
the push-buttons and the screen, the operator can see Live Data, or see, acknowledge and unlatch alarms. If the operator logs in
with the right permission level, he can also change the controller configuration.
* Some features or functions of the display unit may only be accessible if the user profile logged on has the necessary permission
access.
