WARNING
Read this entire manual and all other publications pertaining to the work to be performed before install-
ing, operating, or servicing this equipment. Practice all plant and safety instructions and precautions.
Failure to follow instructions can cause personal injury and/or property damage.
The engine, turbine, or other type of prime mover should be equipped with an overspeed (overtempera-
ture, or overpressure, where applicable) shutdown device(s), that operates totally independently of the
prime mover control device(s) to protect against runaway or damage to the engine, turbine, or other
type of prime mover with possible personal injury or loss of life should the mechanical-hydraulic gov-
ernor(s) or electric control(s), the actuator(s), fuel control(s), the driving mechanism(s), the linkage(s),
or the controlled device(s) fail.
Any unauthorized modifications to or use of this equipment outside its specified mechanical, electrical,
or other operating limits may cause personal injury and/or property damage, including damage to the
equipment. Any such unauthorized modifications: (i) constitute "misuse" and/or "negligence" within
the meaning of the product warranty thereby excluding warranty coverage for any resulting damage,
and (ii) invalidate product certifications or listings.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to a control system that uses an alternator or battery-charging device, make sure
the charging device is turned off before disconnecting the battery from the system.
Electronic controls contain static-sensitive parts. Observe the following precautions to prevent dam-
age to these parts.
•Discharge body static before handling the control (with power to the control turned off, contact a
grounded surface and maintain contact while handling the control).
•Avoid all plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam (except antistatic versions) around printed circuit boards.
•Do not touch the components or conductors on a printed circuit board with your hands or with
conductive devices.

Chapter 1.
General Information
The SPM-D21 is a synchronizing unit. Through appropriate using of the discrete inputs the following functions
can be realized:
•Synchronization (GCB and MCB)
•Synch-check (GCB and MCB)
•Dead bus start (GCB and MCB)
•Idle operation
•Isolated operation
•Operation in parallel with the mains
The SPM-D starts as a standard unit that may have additional functions added with each package. The model of
the SPM-D is designated as follows:
SPM-D21 4 5 B/ xx
Packages according to the Package list.
These packages can be found in the manual. Each headline points
out if the described function is standard or part of a package.
Mounting
[B].. Flush-mounting
CT's, current transformers, secondary
[1] = ../1 A
[5] = ../5 A
Voltage transformers/PT's, secondary
[1] = 100 Vac
[4] = 400 Vac
Type
Example:
•SPM-D2145B/PSV (PSV Package with 400 Vac PT measuring inputs and 5 A CT measuring input)
Intended Use The unit may only be operated for the uses described in this manual. The prerequisite for a proper
and safe operation of the product is correct transportation, storage, and installation as well as careful operation
and maintenance.
NOTE
This manual has been developed for an unit fitted with all available options. Inputs/outputs, functions,
configuration screens and other details described, which do not exist on your unit may be ignored.
The present manual has been prepared to enable the installation and commissioning of the unit. On
account of the large variety of parameter settings, it is not possible to cover every possible combina-
tion. The manual are therefore only a guide. In case of incorrect entries or a total loss of functions, the
default settings can be taken from the enclosed list of parameters.

Chapter 2.
Electrostatic Discharge Awareness
All electronic equipment is static-sensitive, some components more than others. To protect these components
from static damage, you must take special precautions to minimize or eliminate electrostatic discharges.
Follow these precautions when working with or near the control.
1. Before doing maintenance on the electronic control, discharge the static electricity on your body to
ground by touching and holding a grounded metal object (pipes, cabinets, equipment, etc.).
2. Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing clothing made of synthetic materials.
Wear cotton or cotton-blend materials as much as possible because these do not store static electric
charges as much as synthetics.
3. Keep plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam materials (such as plastic or Styrofoam cups, cup holders, cigarette
packages, cellophane wrappers, vinyl books or folders, plastic bottles, and plastic ash trays) away from
the control, the modules, and the work area as much as possible.
4. With the opening of the unit the guarantee expires!
Do not remove the printed circuit board (PCB) from the control cabinet unless absolutely necessary. If
you have to remove the PCB from the control cabinet, follow these precautions:
•Do not touch any part of the PCB except the edges.
•Do not touch the electrical conductors, the connectors, or the components with conductive units or
with your hands.
•When replacing a PCB, keep the new PCB in the plastic antistatic protective bag it comes in until you
are ready to install it. Immediately after removing the old PCB from the control cabinet, place it in the
antistatic protective bag.
WARNING
To prevent damage to electronic components caused by improper handling, read and observe the pre-
cautions in Woodward manual 82715, Guide for Handling and Protection of Electronic Controls, Printed
Circuit Boards, and Modules.

Installation
CAUTION
A circuit breaker must be provided near to the unit and in a position easily accessible to the operator.
This must also bear a sign identifying it as an isolating switch for the unit.
NOTE
Inductivities connected (such as coils of operating current or undervoltage tripping units, or auxiliary
or power contacts) must be connected to a suitable interference suppressor.
WARNING
