Receiving:
Every effort is made to ensure that your WaveNet gen-set controller arrives at its destination
undamaged and ready for installation. The packaging is designed to protect the WaveNet internal
components as well as the enclosure. Care should be taken to protect the equipment from impact at
all times. Do not remove the protective packaging until the equipment is at the installation site and
ready to be installed.
When the WaveNet reaches its destination, the customer should inspect the shipping box and controller for
any signs of damage that may have occurred during transportation. Any damage should be reported
to a Northern Lights representative after a thorough inspection has been completed.
A shipping label affixed to the shipping box includes a variety of product and shipping information,
such as items and Customer numbers. Make certain that this information matches your order ....
information.
Each WaveNet controller is packaged in its own box. Do not discard the packing material until the
controller is ready for installation.
Handling:
As previously mentioned, each WaveNet gen-set controller is packaged in its own individual box.
Protect the equipment from impact at all times and do not carelessly stack. Once the controller is at
the installation site and ready to be installed, the packaging material may be removed.
Storage:
Although well packaged, this equipment is not suitable for outdoor storage. WaveNet is to be stored
indoors for any period of time, it should be stored with its protective packaging in place. Protect the controller
at all times from excessive moisture, dirty conditions, corrosive conditions, and other contaminants. It is
strongly recommended that the package-protected equipment be stored in a climate-controlled environment
of -20 to 65°C (-4 to 149°F), with a relative humidity of 80% or less. Do not stack other equipment on top
of the stored controllers.
2. RECEIVING, HANDLING & STORAGE

OWN-GEN 01/12
3. WAVENET SERIES INSTALLATION AND WIRING
The following general safety precautions should be headed:
1. The WaveNet may carry high Voltage/Current which can cause serious injury or death.
Extreme caution must be exercised when connections are being installed to or from the
controller. All wiring connections must be de-energized before any installations are performed.
Wiring of the WaveNet should be performed by qualified electricians only.
2. AC power may carry high Voltage/Current which can cause serious injury or death.
De-energize all AC power sources before any connections are performed.
3. NEVER energize AC power with AC current sensing connector unplugged. An energized,
unplugged connector could result in severe injury or death. Never unplug an energized
connector.
4. WaveNet is connected on a NMEA 2000 network. Installation must be made by an
NMEA 2000 certified technician.
The WaveNet controller can be placed in either 12V or 24V electrical systems.
Generator systems contain high voltage circuits. Working on powered equipment can cause damage to
equipment, injury, or death. The following symbols will be used in this document to classify information:
3.1 SAFETY INFORMATION
3.2 WAVENET 12/24VDC SYSTEM OPERATION
Caution: This is used to indicate something that you should take
special notice of but that is not normally a threat to safety.
Danger: This is used to indicate a potential for injury or death.
Danger - High Voltage: This is similar to Danger above but relates
specifically to conditions where high voltage is encountered.

3.2.2 RELAY FUSES
3.3 WAVENET TERMINALS
3.2.1 RELAYS
The WaveNet controller is designed to operate on 12 or 24 VDC systems. When operating on 12VDC
systems the fuel and preheat outputs require 12VDC relays, and 24VDC relays when operating on
24VDC systems. The WaveNet comes preinstalled with the correct relays depending on the product
number specified when ordered.
Contact Northern Lights if replacement relays are required.
Relays for 12 or 24VDC system operation are as follows:
• 22-42047 for 12VDC operation
• 22-40085 for 24VDC operation
CAUTION: needs to be taken when connecting relay outputs to an inductive load. Due to the
inductive nature of certain loads (starters, pull coils), initial current draw may be higher than stated
in the load specs which could damage the onboard relays.
Output relays are protected by onboard 40A fuse protection. Smaller amperage fuses from many
automotive stores may be used in place of the higher current 40A. If installing lower amperage fuse
protection, be certain that the current draw on each relay does not exceed the fuse current limit.
An approved 40A fuse is: LITTLEFUSE – 257040 (32VDC, 40A, auto fast action)
Figure 1 on page 6 shows the location of all terminals on the controller and the numbering of all
circuits.
Table 2 lists the minimum wire size, maximum current capacity, name, and function of each circuit.
The wire gauges given in the table are the minimum recommended only.

4.1 POWER-UP
4.2 CONTROLLER ALARMING
If the emergency stop input of the digital input terminal is not connected to ground the controller will
alarm and display “Emergency Stop” when powered. Emergency Stop also forces the controller to the
OFF mode.
To prevent this ground the emergency stop input (pin 9) to ground (pin 12) on the digital input
terminal. See Figure 1 on page 6.
T
he controller will display the firmware and hardware version on the screen and flash the indicator lamps
on the side of the controller.
The controller will then enter the OFF mode. By default, it is possible to manually start the generator in
the OFF mode. The user can disable manual start in OFF mode in the basic menu (in which case the
WaveNet must be in the AUTO mode to manually start the generator). See section 4.7.2 on page 15.
Pressing the Info key will cause the controller to enter the AUTO mode. From this mode, the user
can put the controller into RUN mode (i.e. start the generator) manually or from a WaveNet Remote
Panel.
The controller has the ability to remember whether it was in the OFF or AUTO mode the last time it
was powered up and will reenter that mode when it is repowered.
3.3.1 CURRENT TRANSFORMER (CT) WIRING NOTE
4 WAVENET OPERATION & BASIC USER CONFIGURATION
updated 1-17-12

OWN-GEN 01/12
The WaveNet incorporates 3 primary modes of operation:
1. OFF Mode
2. AUTO Mode
3. RUN Mode
1. OFF Mode – When the WaveNet
is set to the OFF mode, automatic
starting will be disabled. No automatic
controls will be initiated. The OFF
mode may be initiated when no
generator controls are required or
when the controller configuration
requires adjustment by pressing the
Stop button. The user can disable
manual start in OFF mode in the basic
menu. See section 4.7.2 on page 15.
All of the failures and most of the warnings are disabled when the controller is in the OFF mode.
The controller will beep every few seconds to alert the user that the unit is in the OFF mode and
cannot automatically start. To silence this alarm, press the Stop key.
In OFF mode, you may simultaneously press the Up and Down arrow keys to perform a lamp
test.
2.AUTO Mode - When the WaveNet is set
to theAUTO mode by pressing the Info key,
automatic starting will be enabled.
If the
engine is started,
failures will be automatically
detected allowing for safe engine operation.
While in AUTO mode the controller will
display engine temperature, battery
voltage and engine hours.
4.3 CONTROLLER STATES
11

OWN-GEN 01/12
When in the RUN mode the WaveNet LCD screen can be locked to display a particular parameter
group. To do this press the Up and Down keys to scroll to the parameter group you wish to view
and then press the Enter key to lock the screen. You will see a lock symbol displayed on the top
right hand side of the display just under the date and time.
To unlock the screen press Enter again or use the arrow keys to scroll to a different parameter
group which causes the lock symbol to disappear. The screen will automatically unlock after 10
minutes.
4.3 CONTROLLER STATES (CONT’D)
4.3.1 LOCKING THE WAVENET SCREEN WHILE IN RUN MODE
There are two ways to start the generator (start conditions):
1. Start key – Located on the WaveNet front panel.
2. Remote WaveNet panel Start key
12
3. RUN Mode – The controller starts the engine/generator and enters the RUN mode
when it receives the command from a WaveNet Remote Panel or the user manually
starts the engine/generator by pressing the Start key.
The controller will automatically shut the
engine/generator down and re-enter the
auto mode if it initiated an engine/
generator start. When the controller is in
the OFF mode automatic starting is
disabled.
When the controller is in the RUN mode,
generator parameters will be displayed on
the screen to allow the user to monitor the
engine status. These include engine speed, generator voltage and current, and
engine temperature as well as others. The parameters are displayed in groups and the
screen scrolls between the various groups. The Page Roll Display menu option
controls how long each parameter group is displayed on the screen before moving on to
the next group. See Table 5 on page 15 for more information.
4.4 WAVENET START / STOP BEHAVIOR

OWN-GEN 01/12
4.4 WAVENET START / STOP BEHAVIOR (CONT’D)
When the controller is in the AUTO mode the two manual start conditions above can be used to
start the generator. When the controller is in the RUN mode it will display the reason for start on
the screen (NMEA 2000 Run, Manual Run).
Stopping the Generator
The Stop key on the front panel can be used to place the WaveNet in OFF regardless of the start
condition.
13
4.5 CONTROLLER SLEEP
The controller has a low power sleep mode that it can enter when in the OFF or AUTO states. In
this state the LCD screen backlighting is turned off. The time it takes to enter the sleep mode is
configurable in the menu. It is recommended that the Sleep Delay is set as short as possible to
prolong the life of the backlighting and to reduce battery consumption.
The backlight display will illuminate automatically when a key is pressed. A key press will only
cause the controller to exit the sleep mode. The key must be pressed again to perform its normal
function.
The WaveNet incorporates a menu system to allow the end user to adjust basic settings.
Each menu has a “Back” selection. To go back to the previous menu scroll up to the Back selection
and press the Enter key. When in the basic menu you can go back to the OFF mode by pressing
the Stop key.
In the OFF state press Enter to access the
WaveNet menu system. This is called the
Basic Menu. The following keys perform the
menu navigation:
1. Scroll up using the Up key
2. Scroll down using the Down key
3. Enter menus by pressing the Enter key.
4.6 WAVENET MENU SYSTEM OPERATION

OWN-GEN 01/12
When you press the Enter key in the OFF mode you will enter the Basic Menu which includes the
Clock Setup, Basic Setup, Advanced Setup, and Failure History submenus.

4.7 BASIC MENU
4.7.1 CLOCK SETUP
The WaveNet internal clock information can remain “in memory” for approximately 2 weeks
when no DC power is supplied to the controller. Two week memory storage is available in a
completely charged controller clock. DC power is required to be supplied continually to the
WaveNet for approximately 1 hour to allow a complete clock charge.

OWN-GEN 01/12
The Basic Setup menu will allow the user to customize the basic features of the WaveNet to their
preference.
The Contrast Adjustment allows the user to adjust the contrast of the LCD.
The Page Roll Delay controls how long each group of parameters are displayed in the RUN state
(i.e. when the engine/generator is running) before displaying the next set of parameters.
The second line of the WaveNet LCD screen is usually dedicated to displaying warnings,
and events. The State Roll Delay determines how long the warning or event message is
displayed before moving on to the next message.
Setting the State Roll Delay to a larger value may cause some warning or event
messages to not be displayed if the event or warning is of a short duration.
The Sleep Delay determines how long to wait after the last key press before turning off the LCD
backlighting.
The Sleep Delay also controls the automatic exit from the menu system. First the control-
ler exits to the Basic Menu after the first sleep delay, exits to the OFF state after the second sleep
delay, and finally goes into sleep mode after the third sleep delay. The Sleep Delay does not work
in the RUN Mode or during cranking.
The controller can be made to NOT sound the alarm when the controller is not in theAUTO mode.
This is controlled by the Not In Auto setting.
The OFF Mode Start setting can be set to Enable to allow a manual start from the OFF mode.
Otherwise a manual run can only be performed when the controller is in the AUTO mode.

The WaveNet incorporates an event history logging
system. When engine failures or events occur, an
entry is created in the WaveNet Event History Log.
See Table 6 – Event Log Entries below for the possible
events that are stored.
A total of 70 entries can be recorded. Entries may be viewed simply by scrolling up or down using
the Up and Down keys. In addition to the entry reason information, the associated date and time of
the entry will be displayed.
The 70 entries are subdivided into a maximum of 30 events and 40 failures. This prevents one
type from flushing the other types from the log.
Simply scroll through the Failure History Log by
pressing the Up or Down arrow keys located on
the WaveNet.
The event history log can store up to 30 event and 40 failures entries. If these are
exceeded the oldest entry is replaced with the newest entry. The events and failures are
displayed together in the log in reverse chronological order (i.e. newest entry first).
