1.7 Warnings and safety
Safety during installation and operation
When you install and operate the equipment, you may have to 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, as this could lead to injury or
death.
Automatic and remote-controlled starts
CAUTION
Automatic genset start
The power management system automatically starts gensets when more power is needed. It can be difficult for an
inexperienced operator to predict which gensets will start. In addition, gensets can be started remotely (for example, via
an Ethernet connection, or a digital input).
To avoid personal injury, the genset design, the layout, and maintenance procedures must take this into account.
Switchboard control
In Switchboard control, the operator operates the equipment from the switchboard. When Switchboard control is activate:
• 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 manual operator actions.
The switchboard design must protect the system when the controller is in Switchboard control.
DANGER!
Manual override of alarm action
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 active. If the alarm action is
manually overridden, the latched alarm provides no protection.
Do not manually override active alarm actions
DANGER!
Manual override of latched alarm action
If the alarm action is manually overridden, a latched alarm does NOT provide any protection.
Do not 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.
OPERATOR'S MANUAL 4189341171C UK Page 7 of 91

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.

2. Getting started
2.1 About controller operation
The GPC 300 controllers make sure that the system is protected for typical land applications.
Local or Remote mode
LOCAL mode uses command start sequences from the display push-buttons. Remote commands for sequences are ignored.
REMOTE mode uses command start sequences from digital input, PICUS, Modbus, and/or CustomLogic or CODESYS. Display
push-buttons for sequences are ignored.
Switchboard control
Each controller can operate in switchboard control. You can manually operate the genset speed and open and close the breakers.
Use Switchboard control for troubleshooting, or to manually override the system..
In Switchboard control, all the controller functions are not available, but the controller protections stay active. The controller monitors
the operation for alarm conditions, and activates alarm actions if necessary.
Buttons and LEDs
You can use the push-buttons to operate the system. You can change modes, start pre-programmed sequences, and silence alarms.
The buttons to start or stop the genset, or close or open the breakers, are only active in LOCAL mode.
Some push-buttons may not be used, subject to the design of the system. Check with the designer of the system.
Push-buttons that can be enabled or not enabled for use:
• Mode change
• Mute alarms
• Start/stop engine
• Open/close breaker
The display LEDs show the status of the system.
Display screen
Use the display screen to:
• Monitor system operation.
• Log on to the controller.
• See alarm lists and logs.
• Acknowledge and unlatch alarms.
• Configure the controller settings.
NOTE Features are protected by user level permissions.
PICUS
Power In Control Utility Software (PICUS) is the computer software to configure and monitor the controllers. You can connect a
computer with PICUS to the controller (direct connection). You can now configure, supervise, send commands and more.

Switchboard control
To change to Switchboard control from REMOTE or LOCAL mode:
1. Change the selector on the switchboard to Switchboard control.
• The controller changes to Switchboard control.
• If the engine was running, it continues to run
• If the breaker was closed, it remains closed.
• The controller will trip the breaker and/or stop the engine if the operating conditions activate an alarm
that trips the breaker and/or stops the genset.
NOTE * You cannot change from Switchboard control with the display push-buttons. The Switchboard control selector must be set
