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.

2.3 Display push-buttons and LEDs
2.3.1 Push-button functions
The functions for all display push-buttons are described below:
INFO: Moves directly to the alarm list where all unacknowledged and present alarms are displayed.
JUMP: Enters a specific menu number selection. All settings have a specific number attached to them.
The JUMP button enables the user to select and display any setting without having to navigate
through the menus.
VIEW: Shifts the first line displaying in the setup menus. Push two seconds to switch to master display
in case more than one display is connected (master password is required).
LOG: Jumps directly to the event and alarm log.
Moves the cursor left for manoeuvring in the menus.
Increases the value of the selected set point (in the setup menu). In daily use, this button function
is used to switch between displayed percentage or real value of produced power (kW), reactive
power (kvar) and apparent power (kVA) in View 3 (V3).
Selects the underscored entry in the fourth line of the display.
Decreases the value of the selected set point (in the setup menu). In daily use, this button func-
tion is used to switch between displayed percentage or real value of produced power (kW), reac-
tive power (kvar) and apparent power (kVA) in View 3 (V3).
Moves the cursor right for manoeuvring in the menus.
BACK: Jumps one step backwards in the menu (to previous display or to the entry window).
REMOTE: Activates the remote mode. The push-buttons for START/STOP/GB open/GB close are deactiva-
ted. The control is external.
LOCAL: Activates the local mode. The push-buttons for START/STOP/GB open/GB close are activated.
START: Activates the engine start sequence (only active in LOCAL mode).
STOP: Activates the stop sequence (only active in LOCAL mode) including cooling down. When the
STOP push-button is pressed during cooling down, the cooling down time is interrupted immedi-
ately and the ext. stop timer starts running.

2.3.2 LED functions
Each LED located on the display has its own function. The colour is green, red or yellow (fixed or flashing)
dependent on its function. The functions for all display LEDs are described below:
Alarm: LED red flashing indicates that unacknowledged alarms are present.
LED red fixed light indicates that ALL alarms are acknowledged, but one or more alarms are
still present.
LED off when no alarm is present.
Run: LED yellow when a running feedback failure is active. (G V/Hz OK, but no running feed-
back).
LED green indicates that the generator is running and the voltage and frequency are OK.
LED off when no running feedback and no voltage and frequency are measured.
G V/Hz (~): LED yellow when the DG is running and V/Hz not OK.
LED green when the DG is running and the V/Hz OK timer has expired.
Open: LED red when the breaker is tripped by a protection function.
LED yellow when the breaker is deloaded.
LED green when the breaker is open.
LED off when the breaker is closed.
Closed: LED yellow indicates that the synchronisation function is active.
LED green when the breaker is closed.
LED off when the breaker is open.
BB V/Hz (~): LED green when BB V/Hz OK.
LED yellow when BB V/Hz not OK.
LED red when BB voltage is zero (dead bus).
Ready: LED green when the unit is ready for operation.
LED off when the unit is not ready (for example, the start enable is not activated or an active
block, trip or shutdown alarm is present).
This indication is to tell the user whether the controller (not the engine) is ready or not.
Regulator ON: LED green when the regulator is activated.
LED off when the regulator is off.
Remote: LED green when remote mode is active.
LED off when local or SWBD mode is active.
Local: LED green when local mode is active.
LED off when remote or SWBD mode is active.
Power: LED green indicates that the auxiliary supply is switched on.
Self check: LED green indicates that the unit is OK.

2.4.3 AOP-2 lamp test and dimmer function
AOP-2
1
The AOP-2 has a separate push-button (1) for the combined lamp test and dimmer functionality. A short acti-
vation of the push-button will activate the lamp test function. If no further action is taken within three seconds,
the AOP-2 will turn back to normal indication.
To activate the dimmer function, the push-button must be pressed several times or continuously to reach the
desired light intensity.

3.4 Unit operation modes and password
3.4.1 Mode overview
The unit has two different operation modes and one switchboard (blocked) mode.
Mode Description
LOCAL ● The display push-buttons (START, STOP, GB ON, GB OFF) 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 unit will synchronise the breaker (if al-
lowed).
RE-
MOTE
● The display control push-buttons (START, STOP, GB ON, GB OFF) are disabled.
● The genset can be controlled via the digital inputs, for example “Start sync./control”.
SWBD ● Display push-buttons are disabled. The generator can only be controlled using the switch-
board.
● The protection functions are still active.
● The regulators are not active, that is speed control has to take place from the switchboard.
3.4.2 Mode selection
The mode selection is carried out using the LOCAL or REMOTE push-buttons on the display.
3.4.3 Password
The unit includes three password levels. All levels can be adjusted in the PC software.
Available password levels:
Password level Factory setting Access
Customer Service Master
Customer 2000 X
Service 2001 X X
Master 2002 X X X
A parameter cannot be entered with a password that is ranking too low, but the settings can be displayed
without password entry.
