1.3 Warnings and safety
Factory settings
The controller is delivered pre-programmed from the factory with a set of default settings. These settings are based on typical values
and may not be correct for your system. You must therefore check all parameters before using the controller.
Data security
To minimise the risk of data security breaches:
• As far as possible, avoid exposing controllers and controller networks to public networks and the Internet.
• Use additional security layers like a VPN for remote access, and install firewall mechanisms.
• Restrict access to authorised persons.

2.4 Running modes
The controller has three different running modes, a block mode and a test mode. Push the Shortcut button and select Running
Modes to see the running modes and block mode. Configure the test mode in Settings > Power set points > Test. To
select the test mode push the Shortcut button and select Start Test.
Mode Description
AUTO The controller automatically starts and stops (and connects and disconnects) the genset. The operator cannot start
a sequence manually.
SEMI-AUTO
The controller cannot automatically start, stop, connect and disconnect the genset or open and close the mains
breaker. The operator can start these sequences using the buttons on the controller, Modbus commands or the
digital inputs. If the genset starts in semi-auto mode, it will operate at nominal values.
MANUAL The operator can use the digital increase/decrease inputs (if they are configured) and the Start and Stop buttons.
When the genset starts in manual mode, it will start without subsequent regulation.
OPERATOR'S MANUAL 4189341311A EN Page 7 of 18

Mode Description
BLOCK The controller cannot start a sequence, for example the start sequence. Select the block mode when you do
maintenance work on the genset.
Test The test sequence will start when you select the test mode.
NOTE The genset will shut down if you select the block mode while the engine is operating.
