1. General information
1.1 Warnings, legal information and safety
1.1.1 Warnings and notes
Throughout this document, a number of warnings and notes with helpful user information will be presented.
To ensure that these are noticed, they will be highlighted as follows in order to separate them from the gener-
al text.
Warnings
Warnings indicate a potentially dangerous situation, which could result in death, personal in-
jury or damaged equipment, if certain guidelines are not followed.
Notes
Notes provide general information, which will be helpful for the reader to bear in mind.
1.1.2 Legal information and disclaimer
DEIF takes no responsibility for installation or operation of the generator set. If there is any doubt about how
to install or operate the engine/generator controlled by the Multi-line 2 unit, the company responsible for the
installation or the operation of the set must be contacted.
The Multi-line 2 unit is not to be opened by unauthorised personnel. If opened anyway, the war-
ranty will be lost.
Disclaimer
DEIF A/S reserves the right to change any of the contents of this document without prior notice.
1.1.3 Safety issues
Installing and operating the Multi-line 2 unit may imply work with dangerous currents and voltages. Therefore,
the installation should only be carried out by authorised personnel who understand the risks involved in work-
ing with live electrical equipment.
Be aware of the hazardous live currents and voltages. Do not touch any AC measurement in-
puts as this could lead to injury or death.
1.1.4 Electrostatic discharge awareness
Sufficient care must be taken to protect the terminal against static discharges during the installation. Once the
unit is installed and connected, these precautions are no longer necessary.
1.1.5 Factory settings
The Multi-line 2 unit is delivered from factory with certain factory settings. These are based on average values
and are not necessarily the correct settings for matching the engine/generator set in question. Precautions
must be taken to check the settings before running the engine/generator set.

1.2 About the operator's manual
1.2.1 General purpose
This Operator's Manual mainly includes general product information, display readings, push-button and LED
functions, alarm handling descriptions and presentation of the log list.
The general purpose of this document is to give the operator important information to be used in the daily
operation of the unit.
Please make sure to read this document before starting to work with the Multi-line 2 unit and
the generator set to be controlled. Failure to do this could result in human injury or damage to
the equipment.
1.2.2 Intended users
This Operator's Manual is mainly intended for the daily user. On the basis of this document, the operator will
be able to carry out simple procedures such as start/stop and control of the generator set.
1.2.3 Contents and overall structure
This document is divided into chapters, and in order to make the structure simple and easy to use, each
chapter will begin from the top of a new page.

4. Display and menu structure
4.1 About display and menu structures
4.1.1 LCD display
The display is a backlit LCD graphical display. The display light intensity, LED indication and contrast can be
adjusted from menu 9150.
Basically, all measured and calculated values can be read in the display. These may be selected via the PC
utility software (USW).
For selection of values, please refer to the Designer's Reference Handbook.
4.1.2 Menu structure
The display includes two menu systems which can be used without password entry:
View menu system
This is the commonly used menu system. 20 windows are configurable and can be entered by using the ar-
row push-buttons.
Setup menu system (not commonly used by the operator)
This menu system is used to set up the unit, and if the operator needs detailed information that is not availa-
ble in the view menu system.
Changing of parameter settings is password protected.
4.1.3 Entry window
When the unit is powered up, an entry window appears. The entry window is the turning point in the menu
structure and as such the gateway to the other menus. It can always be reached by pushing the BACK push-
button three times.
The event and alarm list will appear at power-up if an alarm is present.

4.1.6 Running modes
There are five buttons, located in the lower right corner of the AGC 200 display, which can be used to change
the running mode. (Some controller types will have less than five buttons). The running mode is changed by
pressing one of the buttons. There is also a lamp test button placed in the lower right corner. The table below
explains the functionality of the buttons.
Mode Description
SEMI ● Activate by pressing the SEMI button on the front of the AGC 200
● The display push-buttons (START, STOP, GB ON, GB OFF and so on) are active and can be
used by the operator
● The regulators are also active, that is the speed control will bring the generator to nominal
speed upon start
● When pushing a breaker button for closing, the AGC 200 will synchronise (if allowed) the
breaker. When the breaker closes, the regulation continues, but no breakers are opened or
closed
TEST ● Activate by pressing the TEST button on the front of the AGC 200
● The unit will start the generator, carry out the test sequence (predefined time period) and stop
the generator again. Subsequently, the generator will return to AUTO or SEMI-AUTO mode
(defined in parameter 7043). The mains breaker will remain closed, and the generator break-
er will remain open. NOTE: The test running can be: Simple test: Starting the genset without
closing the GB; Load test: Parallel to the mains and take load to a predefined value; Full test:
Transfer the load to the genset and open the MB (if the genset(s) is (are) capable of taking
the full load
AUTO ● Activate by pressing the AUTO button on the front of the AGC 200
● The unit will automatically carry out the genset/plant mode selected (AMF, fixed power, etc.)
● The display control push-buttons (START, STOP, GB ON, GB OFF) are disabled
● If the selected genset/plant mode is fixed power, mains power export, load takeover or island,
timer start/stop (week watch) or binary input, then start/stop can be used. (In PM systems
start/stop buttons can only be used from a mains unit with parameter 8021 set to local. If
used in a single DG application, start can only be set with a digital input or timer)
MAN ● Activate by pressing the MAN button on the front of the AGC 200
● The display push-buttons (START, STOP) are active and can be used by the operator
● The regulators are not active, that is speed (and voltage) control has to take place using ex-
ternal controls for generator speed and possibly generator voltage control
● The breakers will be able to open or close at any time. A synchronisation check will always
be performed to ensure safe closing of the breakers
BLOCK ● Activate by pressing the OFF button on the front of the AGC 200
● The unit will not be able to start. BLOCK mode can be selected during standstill or when run-
ning. If activated when running, the genset will stop and enter block mode. When block mode
is activated, no inputs will be able to start the genset. To exit block mode, press the AUTO/
SEMI or MAN button
