1. About this document
General purpose
This document is the Operator’s Manual for DEIF’s Advanced Gen-set Controllers, the AGC 200
series. The document mainly includes general product information, display readings, push-
button and LED functions, alarm handling descriptions and presentation of the log list.
The general purpose is to give the operator important information to be used in the daily
operation of the unit.
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.
Contents/overall structure
The 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.
Please make sure to read this handbook before working with the Multi-line 2
controller and the gen-set to be controlled. Failure to do this could result in
damage to the equipment or human injury.

2. Warnings and legal information
Legal information and responsibility
DEIF takes no responsibility for installation or operation of the generator set. If there is any doubt
about how to install or operate the generator set controlled by the unit, the company responsible
for the installation or the operation of the set must be contacted.
Electrostatic discharge awareness
Sufficient care must be taken to protect the terminals against static discharges during the
installation. Once the unit is installed and connected, these precautions are no longer necessary.
Safety issues
Installing the unit implies work with dangerous currents and voltages. Therefore, the installation
should only be carried out by authorised personnel who understand the risks involved in working
with live electrical equipment.
Definitions
Throughout this document a number of notes and warnings will be presented. To ensure that these
are noticed, they will be highlighted in order to separate them from the general text.
Notes
Warnings
UL applications
These flat surface panel-mounted controllers are intended to be used in Listed Generator
Assemblies where the suitability of the combination has been determined by Underwriters
Laboratories.
These devices have been evaluated for fire and shock only. The accuracy and/or reliability of the
voltage regulating function have not been evaluated. Metering, monitoring, protection and signalling
functions have not been evaluated.
The notes provide general information which will be helpful for the reader to
bear in mind.
The warnings indicate a potentially dangerous situation which could result in
death, personal injury or damaged equipment, if certain guidelines are not
followed.
Be aware of the hazardous live currents and voltages. Do not touch any AC
measurement inputs as this could lead to injury or death.
The units are not to be opened by unauthorised personnel. If opened anyway, the
warranty will be lost.

Tools. The tools are a number of windows for commissioning as well as some
special settings which are not accessible via the PC utility software. Please refer
to the Designer’s Reference Handbook for details.

is operational. If it is red, the self-check has failed.
Run: LED indicates that the generator is running.
Hz/V OK: LED green light indicates that the voltage/frequency is present and OK.
GB ON: LED indicates that the generator breaker is closed.
MB ON: LED indicates that the mains breaker is closed.
Mains OK: LED is green if the mains is present and OK.
LED is red at a mains failure.
LED is flashing green when the mains returns during the ‘mains OK delay’ time.
AUTO: LED indicates that auto mode is selected.
MAN: LED indicates that manual mode is selected.
SEMI: LED indicates that SEMI AUTO mode is selected.
OFF: LED indicates that OFF mode is selected.

5. Display and menu structure
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).
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 arrow 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 available in the view menu system.
Changing of parameter settings is password protected.
Entry window
When the unit is powered up, an entry window appears. The entry window is the first window of
the view menu system. It can always be accessed by pressing the BACK push-button three
times.
For selection of values, please refer to the Designer’s Reference Handbook.

Running modes
The running modes are selected using the buttons as follows:
Mode Description
SEMI - The display push-buttons (START, STOP, GB ON, GB OFF) are active and can
be used by the operator.
- The regulators are also active, i.e. 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 controls stop.
TEST - 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. The mains breaker will remain closed, and the
generator breaker will remain open. NOTE: The test running can be: Simple test:
Starting the gen-set without closing the GB; Load test: Parallel to the mains and
take load to a predefined value; Full test: Transfer the load to the gen-set and
open the MB.
AUTO - The unit will automatically carry out the control type selected (AMF, fixed power,
etc.).
- The display control push-buttons (START, STOP, GB ON, GB OFF) are
disabled.
- If the selected running 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.
MAN - The display push-buttons (START, STOP) are active and can be used by the
operator.
- The regulators are not active, i.e. speed (and voltage) control has to take place
using external 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 - The unit will not be able to start. BLOCK mode can be selected during standstill
and the password is needed to leave BLOCK mode. If the BLOCK mode is
selected while the gen-set is running, the mode will have no effect until the gen-
set is stopped. To select another mode after the BLOCK mode, the password
must be entered.
