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 respond to a blackout.
• The controller does not provide power management.
• 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.

2. Getting started
2.1 About controller operation
The PPM 300 controllers make sure that required power is available and the system is protected for typical marine applications.
Power Management System (PMS) control
All controllers usually operate with PMS control.
The GENSET or HYBRID controllers usually operate in AUTO mode. In AUTO mode, the PMS automatically starts and stops
gensets or inverters, for the power requirements. The PMS automatically controls the genset or inverter breakers. Gensets or
inverters connect automatically as necessary.
The SHAFT generator, SHORE connection and BUS TIE breaker controllers usually operate in PMS control. These do not
automatically connect to a shaft generator or a shore connection, or automatically close to a bus tie breaker. You must manually
start these actions. Once you start these actions, the controller automatically follows a pre-programmed sequence.
The GENSET, HYBRID, and EMERGENCY genset controllers can operate in either AUTO or a semi-automatic (SEMI) mode. These
are PMS modes. In SEMI mode, you must manually start or stop the genset or inverter. You must also manually start the pre-
programmed sequence to close or open the genset or inverter breaker to the busbar.
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, change genset
priority, and silence alarms. The buttons to start or stop the genset, or close or open the breakers, are only active in SEMI mode.
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.

3. Operating the system
3.1 GENSET controller basic actions
3.1.1 Introduction to operating the GENSET controllers
Normal operation
The GENSET controllers are usually in AUTO mode. In AUTO mode, the Power Management System (PMS) automatically starts/
stops and connects/disconnects the gensets. The PMS operates with the settings for power requirements and the genset priority.
Blackout response
When a blackout occurs:
•AUTO mode
◦ The PMS automatically follows the blackout-recovery sequence to start the gensets and restore power.
•SEMI mode
◦ The PMS automatically changes the controller to AUTO mode. No operator actions are necessary.
•Switchboard control
◦ The PMS does not try to start or connect the genset. If you want the PMS to start and connect the genset, you must change
to PMS control on the switchboard.

Switchboard
control
When the controller is in Switchboard control, the display push-buttons are not available. The genset can only
be started locally and/or from the switchboard.
NOTE * Idle run may not be permitted or approved by certain maritime classification societies.
The switchboard equipment is third-party equipment. The switchboard might not include a button to start the genset.
3.1.6 Stop the genset
Mode Procedure
AUTO
When the controller is in AUTO mode, the genset stop is controlled automatically and the display push-buttons
are not available. If the PMS calculates that power is not necessary, the controller automatically stops the
gensets, with the genset priority order.
SEMI
The genset breaker must be open to stop the genset. If the genset breaker is not open, push to open the
breaker before stopping the genset.
More information
See Open the genset breaker for more information.
To stop the genset:
1. Push once.
2. The controller activates the cooldown period.
• If necessary, to override the cooldown period, push again.
◦Note: A genset stop without cooldown time increases the mechanical wear of the genset. The genset
may also have problems if it needs to restart immediately. The genset should only be stopped without
cooldown time in emergencies. Contact the genset manufacturer for more information.
3. If Idle run stop is configured: *
• The controller runs the Idle run stop sequence.
◦ If needed, to override the Idle run stop, push again.
4. If the genset does not stop, the controller activates an alarm.
Switchboard
control
When the controller is in switchboard control, the display push-buttons are not available. The genset can only be
stopped locally and/or from the switchboard.
NOTE * Idle run may not be permitted or approved by certain maritime classification societies.
The switchboard equipment is third-party equipment. The switchboard might not include a button to stop the genset.
3.1.7 Close the genset breaker
Mode Procedure
AUTO
When the controller is in AUTO mode, the genset breaker is controlled automatically and the display push-
buttons are not available. If more power is required, the controller automatically starts the gensets and closes
the breakers, with the genset priority order.
SEMI
The genset must be running to close the genset breaker. If the genset is not running, push to start the
genset.
More information
See Start the genset for more information.
To close the breaker:
OPERATOR'S MANUAL 4189340910Q EN Page 18 of 103

Mode Procedure
1. Push to close the genset breaker.
a. The PMS synchronises the genset with the busbar (the breaker LED flashes yellow ).
b. When the genset and busbar synchronise, the controller closes the breaker.
c. When the breaker is closed, the breaker LED is green .
• If the genset and busbar are not synchronised before the synchronisation timer expires, the breaker
does not close. The synchronisation failure alarm is activated.
Switchboard
control
When the controller is in Switchboard control, the display push-buttons are not available. The genset breaker
can only be closed from the switchboard.
3.1.8 Open the genset breaker
Mode Procedure
AUTO
When the controller is in AUTO mode, the genset breaker is controlled automatically and the display push-
buttons are not available. If power is not required, the controller automatically opens the genset breaker as
part of the genset stop sequence.
SEMI
To open the genset breaker:
1. Push to open the genset breaker.
a. The PMS calculates if the available power is sufficient after the genset breaker opens. If not, the PMS
prevents the genset breaker to open, and the controller display unit shows an info message.
b. The PMS de-loads the breaker until the load is less than the de-load open point (the breaker LED
flashes yellow ).
c. The controller opens the genset breaker.
d. The LED is OFF when the breaker is open.
Switchboard
control
When the controller is in Switchboard control, the display push-buttons are not available. The breaker can only
be opened from the switchboard.
3.1.9 Set genset start and stop priority
The PMS can operate gensets with a priority order. You can run automatically some gensets more than other gensets if necessary. If
a genset start is necessary, the PMS starts the first non-running genset in the priority order.
You can determine the genset priority manually, or let the PMS operate the priority.
Push on a GENSET controller display to manually move the genset to the first position in the priority order. The LED next to
lights when a GENSET controller has first priority.
More information
See Priority page for more information about how to change the priority for multiple controllers.

3.2 EMERGENCY genset controller basic actions
3.2.1 Introduction to operating the EMERGENCY genset controller
Normal operation
The EMERGENCY genset controller is usually in AUTO mode. During normal operation the emergency genset does not run.
Blackout response
When a blackout occurs:
•AUTO mode
◦ The PMS automatically follows the blackout-recovery sequence to start the gensets and restore power.
◦ If the gensets do not supply power within the time allowed, the PMS automatically opens the tie breaker, starts the
emergency genset and closes the emergency genset breaker.
•SEMI mode
◦ The controller automatically changes to AUTO mode. No operator actions are needed.
•Switchboard control
◦ The PMS does not attempt to start or connect the emergency genset. If you want the PMS to start and connect the
emergency genset, you must change to PMS control on the switchboard.
Harbour operation
When harbour operation is active, the emergency genset breaker and the tie breaker are closed. The emergency genset runs, and
supplies power as if it were an ordinary genset. The PMS controls the system, and starts and stops the other gensets as needed. In
AUTO mode and harbour operation, the emergency genset is first in the genset priority order.
