parameters settings.
o Insert a contact between Control Supply and aux. input terminal C1 and signal to operate with

Note:
The D.Set: Generator Parameters must not always be used when a diesel generator is supplying
the ASTAT-BP. Only use D.Set: Generator Parameters when the normal starting process fails, i.e.
Shorted Scr or Wrong Connection faults occur, and only after you have tested and are sure that
the SCRs, motor and motor connections are not faulty.
WARNINGS When operating in D.Set: Generator Parameters, the motor must be loaded
to avoid vibration during starting and stopping.
It is recommended to disconnect the power factor capacitors when operating with a
diesel generator.
