SYSTEM PARAMETERS

System parameters configure the DGC-2020 for operation with a specific application and are divided into
three categories: system, engine cranking, and sensing transformers.

System Settings

The following settings are used to configure the DGC-2020 for operation with a specific genset
application.

Genset Electrical Parameters

Genset electrical parameters used by the DGC-2020 include the genset connection type, power rating,
and voltage rating.

Genset connection types

A

accommodated by the DGC-2020 include three, three-phase configurations

(delta, wye, and four-wire delta) and two single-phase configurations (sensing across phases A and B or
A and C).

The DGC-2020 is compatible with gensets having power ratings

B

up to 9,999 kW and voltage ratings

C

up

to 999 Vac.

Engine Speed Measurement

The DGC-2020 can be configured to detect engine speed

D

from a magnetic pickup (MPU), the genset

frequency, or both the MPU and genset frequency.

When engine speed is obtained from the genset frequency, the DGC-2020 uses the rated (nominal)
genset frequency

E

and nominal rpm rating

F

when calculating engine rpm.

When engine speed is obtained from an MPU, the DGC-2020 uses the nominal rpm rating

F

and the

number of flywheel teeth

G

when calculating engine rpm.

The speed signal from the MPU takes priority when both the genset frequency and MPU are selected as
the engine speed source. If both MPU and genset frequency are selected and the MPU fails, the DGC-
2020 will automatically switch to the genset frequency as the engine speed source.

When the CAN interface is used, the speed signal source settings must be set at MPU or MPU_Gen. This
allows the DGC-2020 to receive the engine speed data sent by the ECU via the SAE J1939 protocol.

Engine Cooldown

After a genset’s load is removed, the DGC-2020 can ensure proper engine and turbocharger cooldown by
maintaining engine operation for a user-specified duration. The cooldown time delay

H

is initiated for any

one of the following conditions:
• Genset load is removed and engine shutdown is permitted

• Auto transfer switch (ATS) opens while operating in Auto mode

• Remote shutdown is initiated

EPS Threshold

Indication that the emergency power system is supplying load is determined by a user-adjustable
threshold setting

I

expressed as a percentage of the genset CT (nominal) primary rating.

Measurement/Metering Units

The user can configure the DGC-2020 to display and report engine oil pressure and coolant temperature
in English or metric units of measure

J

.

Battery Voltage

The nominal voltage

K

of the starter battery is used by the DGC-2020 to detect and annunciate battery

overvoltage and low or weak battery voltage.

NFPA Compliance Level

The DGC-2020 can be used in an application requiring compliance with NFPA Standard 110. Levels 1
and 2 of Standard 110 are supported

L

. Selecting level 1 or 2 affects DGC-2020 operation in the following

ways:
• The number of crank cycles is fixed at 3

• Crank cycle time is fixed at 15 seconds

• Continuous crank time is fixed at 45 seconds
• The low coolant temperature pre-alarm setting is fixed at 70°F
