Automatic Restart
When enabled, the Automatic Restart clears all alarms automatically if the DGC-2020ES shuts down due
to an alarm condition. An attempt to restart the engine is made, after a predetermined time delay, if the
ATS contact input is closed. If an ATS contact is not present, the unit remains in the READY state with
alarms cleared. A restart is not attempted if a low fuel alarm or emergency stop is present. The number of
restart attempts is programmable. Automatic restart attempts are recorded in the event log.
The Auto Restart Interval setting accepts values from 0.5 to 30, in increments of 0.5 minutes. The Auto
Restart Attempts setting accepts values from 1 to 10, in increments of 1.
The Automatic Restart screen is found in the BESTCOMSPlus Settings Explorer under the System
Parameters category. If using the front panel, navigate to Settings > System Parameters > Automatic
Restart.
The BESTCOMSPlus Automatic Restart screen is illustrated in Figure 81.

Exercise Timer
The exercise timer is used to start the genset at a predetermined time and run for a user-defined period.
The mode defines how often the genset will run. If monthly is selected, the day of the month to start must
also be selected. If weekly is selected, the day of the week to start must also be selected. Settings for
Start Hour and Start Minute can also be defined. The Run Period Hours and Minutes define how long the
genset will run each session. The Start Hour and Run Period Hours settings accept values from 0 to 23,
in increments of 1 hour. The Start Minute and Run Period Minutes settings accept values from 0 to 59, in
increments of 1. If Run with Load is enabled, the DGC-2020ES closes the generator breaker during the
run time.
Contact inputs and outputs can be assigned to this function. Refer to the BESTlogicPlus chapter for more
information.
The Exercise Timer screen is found in the BESTCOMSPlus Settings Explorer under the System
Parameters category. If using the front panel, navigate to Settings > System Parameters > Exercise
Timer.
