EMS98 Genset Controller
1 Introduction
Overview
The EMS98 is a controller suitable for use with Diesel powered Gensets, which are used for standby
or auxiliary power generation. It is very configurable and suitable for single or three phase gensets.
The unit controls the starting and stopping of a genset via a manual start button, an internal auto
mains failure system, an external autostart signal or the built in scheduler. Vital operating
parameters are monitored and displayed. If abnormal operation is detected, the unit alarms and
provides genset shutdown. Control for load transfer contactors is also provided.

Engine Gauge Set

The engine gauge set consists of two LED based gauges showing oil pressure and engine
temperature. If the operating parameters are normal the gauges indicate the current value in green.
A high engine temperature activates red LEDs at the top of the engine temperature gauge. Low oil
pressure activates a red LED at the bottom of the oil pressure gauge. If oil pressure is 0.5 Bar
above the warning level (if enabled), the red LED flashes. If it reaches the warning level, it remains
on.
Gauges are scaled to the to full-scale value of the sensor chosen in the unit configuration.
Engine Display
The engine display is a backlit LCD unit with 5 alphanumeric characters on the top line and 5
numeric characters on the bottom line.
This display shows engine speed in RPM on the top section and battery volts on the bottom section
while the engine is running. It also shows system status. If an alarm occurs, alarm text is displayed
on the top section of the display.
The active running mode is displayed as part of the Run display.
Running modes are:

Display Running Mode
UNCAL The genset is running with an uncalibrated speed signal and requires calibration.
See the section on calibration for details.
RUN M Indicates that the genset is running in manual mode and has been started by the
manual start button.
RUN A Indicates that the genset is running in Auto mode and has been started with the
autostart input.
RUN V Indicates that the genset is running in AMF mode.
RUN S Indicates that the genset is running in scheduled mode.
Engine start and stop Buttons

The Start (I) and Stop (O) buttons are used to manually start and stop the engine.
If an alarm occurs it can be cleared by pressing the stop button when the engine has stopped.
During the controller configuration procedures, the start button is used to increase an item value, and
the stop button is used to decrease an item value.
Electrical display and selection buttons

The Electrical display cycles through the mains voltages, and frequency, Genset line to neutral
voltages, phase to phase voltages, currents, frequency, power, power factor and kilowatt hours. It
shows individual phase voltages on the top section and phase currents on the bottom section. Mains
measurements are prefixed with M and Genset measurements are prefixed with G.
The L1, L2, L3, LEDs indicate the phase being displayed. Line to line values are shown with both L1
and L2 LEDs lit for L1 to L2 reading etc.
When other parameters are displayed, the top section shows the parameter name, and the bottom
section shows the parameter value.
The Menu (▼) button allows the user to scroll and view Electrical and Engine values in real time.
When the user scrolls to a value, this will be displayed for 30 seconds after which the display
resumes scrolling in its normal mode.

2 Operation
Power Down
On initial power up, the controller exercises the LEDS as a lamp test.
When the unit is operated in manual or autostart mode and sleep mode is enabled, the unit will enter
a sleep state when in standby for very low power consumption. In this state, the backlight is turned
off and continuous monitoring of engine sensors is disabled. The unit will wake up regularly to check
battery volts and sensor status (as per the SMON setting). The unit returns to normal power mode
immediately when an Autostart or AMF input is activated, or a button is pressed.
Starting options
The genset can be started manually by using the start button ( I ) , or automatically by the Autostart
input, by mains out of specification (AMF), by the scheduler or by remote control (if communications
module is fitted).
The Autostart and AMF starting systems have three timers associated with them.
The Autostart timers are:
Name Function
ASSTB This timer is used to define the required activation time for the Auto Start
input to start the genset or initiate a longer delay (ASDTM).
ASDTM This timer is used to define a long-term delay for Autostart controlled
starting if required. It is triggered by the termination of the ASSTB timer.
ASRTM This timer is used to define the required Autostart restore time to terminate
the ASSTB or ASDTM timers and thus abort the start process.
The AMF timers are:
Name Function
BKSTB This timer is used to define the required activation time for the AMF system
to start the genset or initiate a longer delay (BKDTM).
BKDTM This timer is used to define a long-term delay for AMF controlled starting if
required. It is triggered by the termination of the BKSTB timer
BKRTM This time is used to define the require Autostart restore level to terminate
the BKSTB or BKDTM timers and thus abort the start process.
During the start or blackout delay, the alarm LED flashes quickly and the start warning output is
activated for the start delay time (if configured).
The A contactor (if enabled) will activate either immediately, after a preset delay, or when the genset
is ready for load (depending on configuration, see section 5 for details). If the preset delay has not

EMS98R3 User Guide
expired when the B contactor is ready to operate, the A contactor will be activated followed by the B
contactor after the transfer delay.
The Start button immediately initiates the starting process. If the genset is running in manual mode
and an Autostart or AMF start is requested, then pressing the start button will convert the running
mode to Auto or AMF.
The Scheduler is used to regularly start and run the genset for a preset time and may transfer the
contactors as described above if a transfer has been enabled. It is used to test that the genset
remains in good operational condition.
The Remote start function requires the use of a communications interface to initiate the start
sequence. It behaves in a similar manner to a manual start.
The starting sequence is as follows:

Process RPM Display Comment
Starting Start An AMF event has occurred or the Autostart input has been
activated and the genset is preparing to start. This state continues
until the ASSTM and ASDTM (or BKSTM and BKDTM) delays have
terminated. If during this time the Autostart or AMF restores for
longer than ASRTM (or BKRTM) the starting delay is aborted and
the unit returns to ready mode.
Pheat The preheat output (if configured) is activated.
Fuel The Fuel output is activated (if configured for ETR). If an output is
configured to act as a fuel pull in control, then the output will
activate for 1 second at the start of the fuel state.
Crank The engine cranks
Crest The engine pauses between crank attempts. Fuel is turned off
during crank rest periods.
Runup The engine has started. During Runup, Engine Oil pressure,
Engine Temperature and Under speed are not monitored.
Warm The engine is warming up. Engine Temperature is not monitored
until some time (TmpTm) after the warmup period finishes.
Running Run/RPM The engine is running. The Con B output is activated. (if
configured).
Running
While the engine is running normally, the engine display shows the RPM, battery volts and the status
of the engine. Pressing the Menu (▼) button will cycle to Oil Pressure, Engine Temperature, Engine
Hours, Current Run Time and any active Warnings.
The electrical parameter display shows Mains voltage and frequency, Generator voltage, current and
frequency and Active and Reactive Power related values.
If an alarm occurs, the general alarm indicator will light up together with the relevant alarm indicator.
Stopping
When the Autostart input is deactivated, or the Mains restores (in AMF mode), the run state will
terminate and the run on state will commence. If stopping manually, Runon is skipped and Cool
down is initiated immediately.

EMS98R3 User Guide
The stopping sequence is as follows:

Process RPM Display Comment
Stopping RUNON/RPM The Autostart or AMF system is deactivated and the Genset is
preparing to stop. If the Autostart or AMF system is reactivated,
then the Genset will revert to the running state and continue to run.
If the Genset has run for less than its minimum run time, the Runon
time will be extended. If at the end of Runon, an Autostart, AMF or
Scheduled start is pending within the Pull in time (PLITM), then the
unit will abort the stopping process and carry on running in the new
mode.
Pressing the stop button during Runon terminates Runon, and
initiates Cool down.
COOL/RPM The B Contactor is unloaded, shortly followed by the A Contactor
loading. If enabled, the idle output is activated. If at the end of
Cool down an Autostart, AMF or Scheduled start is pending within
the Preferred Stop time (PRSTM), then the unit will abort the
stopping process, load ConA, and carry on running in the new
mode.
Pressing the stop button during Cool down shuts the engine down
and brings up a manual stop lockout (Mlock)
STPWT A delay to ensure the engine has completely come to rest after the
fuel solenoid is released (ETR) or the fuel solenoid is activated
(ETS)
Ready READY The engine is stopped and ready to be started again. The fuel
solenoid is released if configured for ETS
During Runon and Cooldown the alarm LED flashes slowly, indicating that the engine is about to
stop.
3 Configuration
Configuring the Controller

EMS98R3 User Guide
Note: After any configuration changes it is highly recommended to power the unit Off for 10
seconds and then On again. This will allow any changes made, to reconfigure the hardware,
and flush the stored variables from the software for the new configuration.
Configuration Items
Note: Where there are coupled features such as alarms and warnings, then the warning set
point cannot be set above the alarm set point. This also applies to trip and restore logic
items.
Note: Some parameters are visible only if an associated function is enabled. Where a linked
function is disabled associated items will be hidden as they do not require setting
Note: The items in normal text may need to be adjusted to customise the behaviour and
performance of the genset. However the default values have been carefully chosen for typical
standby genset application without significant user adjustment being required. The items bolded in
the left column MUST be setup for each genset.
The following table lists configuration items and their possible values.

Configurable Input Functions
Each of the 5 digital inputs can be configured exclusively as any one of the following functions:
Function Name Functionality
OFF If an Input is configured as off, then it will not be activate any function.
AUTO The Autostart input is used to automatically start the engine after the start delay.
ESTOP The emergency stop input shuts down the engine and triggers an alarm
BELT The broken belt triggers a shutdown and an alarm.
FUELA The Fuel alarm input can be used as a low fuel engine shut down alarm.
FUELW The fuel warning input can be used as a low fuel engine warning.
TEST The Test input inhibits the activation of the B contactor when the engine is run. The A
contactor is not affected. This input can be used to operate the engine manually without
transferring the load.
PLANT When activated, this input disables Auto and AMF starting and changes the mode of an auto
running genset to Cool for eventual shut down. This input does not prevent scheduled or
manual running of the genset. When this input is deactivated while and Autostart or AMF
start is requested, a lockout does not occur, but the genset will start immediately.
CNTHI Canopy Temperature High. Used to extend the activation of the LVRCT output once the
Genset has stopped. This input is may be connected to a thermostat to maintain the LVRCT
on while temperature is higher than a set value.
CANAL This input is used to shut down the Genset in the event of high canopy temperatures.
GENOL This input will display a GENOL warning (Generator Overload), if activated while the engine is
in run mode
The AN1 input can be assigned the following functions

AN1 This input is an analog input which may be configured for Oil Temperature sensing (OTEMP),
Fuel level (FUEL), or as a digital input (DI 5). If configured as a digital input it has the same
configurability as the normal digital inputs. If configured for Oil Temperature or Fuel,
additional configuration items become visible for further setup. Note that the unit should be
powered down for 10 seconds and powered up again in order for changes in this setting to re-
configure the hardware.
Configurable Output Functions

Each of the 6 outputs can be configured as any one of the following functions:
OFF If an output is configured as off, then it will not be activated by any activity.
FPULL The fuel pull in function is used with dual coil fuel solenoids. The assigned output is
connected to the relay that controls the high current pull in winding of the dual coil fuel
solenoid. It is actuated together with the fuel hold output, but is activated for only 1 second.
PHEAT The preheat output is activated for the preheat time before the engine is due to be started. It
remains on until the engine fires.

EMS98R3 User Guide
WARN The warning output is activated when a warning is present. It remains on while the condition
is active.
ALARM The alarm output is activated when an alarm occurs. It remains on while the condition is
active.
Alarms are cleared by pressing the stop button (0).
HOOT The Hooter turns on for 1 second every 2 Sec for a warning and turns on continuously for an
alarm.
Pressing the stop button (0) disables the hooter. A new alarm will retrigger the Hooter
ESTOP The emergency stop output turns on while the emergency stop input is activated.
LVCON The louvre control output is used to control canopy louvres or a canopy fan. See the
configuration item for LVRCT for detailed operation.
STARF Activated when the genset fails to start.
STOPF Activated when the genset fails to stop.
LOP Activated if the genset is shut down due to low oil pressure
HET Activated if the genset is shut down due to high temperature.
SWARN Turns on the output at the beginning of either Start delay for an autostart, Preheat or Fuel On.
The output is turned off when cranking is about to commence.
A hooter connected to this output is useful to warn staff of any impending engine start.
CON A Contactor A output is activated to disconnect the load from the mains.
Depending on configuration it activates either immediately when mains fail or autostart is
detected, a programmable time after this or when the engine is in a fully running state.
CON B Contactor B output is activated to connect the load to the generator.
Connection occurs after a period defined by the transfer delay which starts at the end of the
Running state of the engine.
4 Speed Calibration
If the speed-sensing signal is derived from the battery charging alternator, (SPSEL = Tacho), the
controller must be calibrated before the genset can be operated.
In the uncalibrated mode, the genset displays UNCAL in the RPM display. For safety all sequenced
starting is disabled. The genset will not inadvertently start even if the autostart or AMF input are
activated. However a modified manual start mechanism is functional.
Before successful calibration can be achieved, SPNOM in the setup menu must be set to the
nominal running speed of the engine. (Typically 1500 or 1800 RPM).
In order to calibrate the speed, start the engine using the start button (1). The start button(1) must be
held pressed until the genset starts. Releasing the start button (1) prematurely may disconnect the
crank before the engine starts properly. This safety feature enables the user to stop cranking
immediately, if mechanical problems are encountered.
When the genset is running and the speed is stable, the calibration process is activated by pressing
and holding the menu button (▼) and the start button (1) until the display shows CAL…… This may
take up to about 10 seconds. At this point the buttons can be released.
After engine speed calibration, the genset must be stopped. Upon restarting the genset will operate
with the normal fully sequenced starting process. If Autostart or AMF are activate on stooping after
calibration the controller will enter the appropriate lockout. Pressing the start button will enable the
active input to start the engine.
Note: For safety, ensure the Autostart and AMF functions are disabled or controlled correctly,
as the genset will start automatically if these inputs are activated. Ensure personal safety at
all times and apply the Emergency Stop if in any doubt. Personal safety comes first.
5 Contactor A Operation
The Unit has a fully functional Automatic Mains Fail detection system which (as well as starting the
genset) controls Contactor A and operates irrespective of whether the unit is in manual or automatic

EMS98R3 User Guide
mode. Contactor A is not affected by operation of the emergency stop input. It may be disabled by
setting CNALD to Off.
When the Engine is not running and CnALd is set to Mains, the AMF system will unload Contactor A
if the mains is abnormal. Similarly if CnALd is set to A-S, then Contactor A will be unloaded if the
Autostart input is active. If CnALd is set to either, then Contactor A will be unloaded if either mains is
abnormal or Autostart is active.
Contactor A unloads either immediately or after a delay depending on the setting of the unload
parameter. If UNLDT is set to Imedt, Contactor A will unload immediately on detection of an AMF
event or Autostart activation. On restoration of this event, Contactor A will activate immediately.
If UNLDM is set to Delay, then Contactor A will be unloaded after the delay time entered in the
UNLDT time. Contactor A will unload when the engine starts prior to the delay time completing.
If UNLOAD is set to Running, then Contactor A will unload once the engine has started.
6 Sensor Integrity and Engine Safety

In addition to the normal oil, temperature and speed alarms, the controller has a range of diagnostic
alarms and warnings that add to engine safety and the protection system.
Before cranking, the controller checks the various inputs for integrity. Cranking is inhibited for the
following sensor conditions
Condition Alarm Comment
OILP error Oil Pressure Error Oil Pressure greater than the oil pressure alarm set point has
been detected. This occurs only if OPCHK is enabled
OILP Fault Oil Pressure Fault A fault has been detected in the oil pressure sensing system.
This is usually an open circuit or broken connection.
TLOCK Speed Present A speed signal is present. See Section 7 Lockouts.
If the conditions inhibiting cranking remain for more than the crank rest time, a start fail alarm is
activated.
Other inputs such as ESTOP and BELT also inhibit engine starting.
During cranking, speed is monitored and the starter solenoid is de-energised when the speed rises
above the starter disconnect speed (SPDIS). If excitation warning (EXTW) and excitation disconnect
(EXTCD) are enabled and excitation occurs while cranking, the starter solenoid will also be
disconnected. This provides an additional safeguard if the speed signal is lost during cranking.
During running, the controller performs regular checks on the integrity of the engine sensors and
provides alarms and warnings as appropriate for sensor failures.
Alarms and engine shutdown are triggered by the following sensor failure conditions:
OILP fault Oil Pressure Sensor There is a fault in the oil pressure sensing system. This is usually
Fault an open circuit or broken connection.
ETEMP fault Temperature There is a possible temperature sensor fault as the engine
Sensor Fault temperature appears too low after 5 minutes of running.
OTEMP fault Oil Temperature There is a possible oil temperature sensor fault as the oil
Sensor fault temperature appears too low after 5 minutes of running.
Only applicable if AN1 is set to OTEMP.
NOREV Speed Sensor The speed input signal, whether GenHz, MPU or Alternator, has
failure failed.
Warnings only are provided for failures in the fuel sensors.

FUEL fault Fuel Sensor Fault The fuel sensor has failed. Only applicable if AN1 is set to
FUEL

EMS98R3 User Guide
7 Minimum and Maximum Running Times

The controller has the ability to set a minimum run time. The function is used to reduce exhaust
system corrosion, provide minimum battery recharging time, and to minimise nuisance restarts under
unstable mains supply conditions.
The function is enabled by setting RMINT to the time required. Setting a zero in the timer value
disables the minimum run time function.
Note: When the genset is being operated in the Auto or AMF mode, if the autostart input is
deactivated before the minimum run time has elapsed, then the engine will continue to run
until the this time has completed. The additional time is added to the RUNON time.
The maximum run time function limits excessive running independently of the activating input. This is
useful where a genset is not rated for continuous duty, or where an unattended system is running
beyond a reasonable operational time limit.
The function is enabled by setting a non-zero value for RMAXT. When this feature is enabled,
options exist for activating a warning or stopping and locking out the genset when the maximum run
time is exceeded.
8 Scheduler Operation
The controller has a scheduler that can be configured to run the genset at defined intervals for a
defined length of time.
The interval between each scheduled running cycle is set by SCHTM. SCHRT sets the time of each
run. If load is to be transferred during the scheduled run, then SCHXR is set to on.
9 Lockout Conditions
Lockout conditions occur when the engine cannot start when requested due to the presence of
another condition, which is preventing it from starting.
Lockouts are cleared by removing the condition that prevents the start from occurring. At this point
the controller unit will return to the ready state.
Typical lockout conditions are shown below:

Display Associated Input Comment
MLOCK Manual Stop A Manual Stop Lockout occurs when a genset running in auto is
Lockout stopped with the manual stop button. If the Start button (1) is
pressed, the genset will resume running in auto mode. If the genset
is stopped and in Manual Stop Lockout, pushing the stop button (0)
attempts to clear the condition. If the previous auto start signal has
deactivated, then the unit will return to the Ready state, otherwise it
will enter the Autostart lockout.
ELOCK Emergency Stop An Emergency Stop Lockout occurs if the Emergency Stop input is
Lockout activated while the genset is not running. It is cleared by
deactivating the Emergency Stop Switch.
ALOCK Autostart Lockout An Autostart Lockout occurs when any of the other lockout conditions
are cleared with the Autostart input still active. This provides a safety
lockout when other lockout conditions are cleared. The genset may
be restarted in its Auto mode of operation by pressing the Start (1)
button.
If the Autostart is cleared the unit returns to the Ready state.
VLOCK AMF Lockout A Voltage Lockout occurs if the engine is stopped either manually or
by an alarm, and an AMF start is activated. The Genset may be
restarted and run under AMF control by pressing the start button.
Otherwise the AMF condition must be cleared to remove the lockout.
TLOCK Tacho Lockout A Tacho Lockout occurs if an unexpected speed signal is detected

EMS98R3 User Guide
while the unit is in Ready mode. This lockout may be cleared by

removing the source of the unexpected speed signal. Battery
chargers imposing ripple current on the DC system are often the
cause. Such ripple can pass through the battery-charging alternator
affecting the speed sensing input.
The overspeed LED flashes if a Tacho Lockout is present.
OLOCK Oil Pressure An oil pressure lockout occurs when oil pressure greater than the oil
Lockout pressure alarm value is detected with the unit in ready mode. The
lockout may be removed by removing the source of the oil pressure
signal. This can be caused by faulty oil pressure wiring or a sticking
sensor.
The LOP LED flashes of an Oil Pressure Lockout is present.
10 Alarms and Warnings
Warnings.
Warnings are non-critical conditions which do not interfere with the normal operation of the genset
and which provide a warning of a current or pending abnormal condition. Warnings are generally
non-latching and do not stop the genset.
Warnings are shown on the LCD display and flash the alarm LED. The Hooter is activated for 1
second every 2 seconds and the warning output is activated.
Warnings which may occur are shown below:
Warning Display Comment

Start Warning START The controller has detected a start signal and is about to start
the genset.
(Only active if the start warning time is configured as non
zero)
Charge Failure CVLT fault The controller has not detected the voltage rise that
accompanies the normal battery charging process. This may
result from inadequate battery-charging alternator excitation,
insufficient alternator speed, a broken belt, alternator diode
failure, or because the charge voltage set point is set too
high.
Excitation Failure EXCIT fault The battery charging alternator has not generated the voltage
feedback which normally occurs when excitation is
established
Under Voltage LVOLT Battery volts are below the low battery voltage set point
Over Voltage HVOLT Battery volts are above the high battery voltage set point
Low Fuel Level LFUEL The low fuel warning input is activated or the fuel level has
dropped below the fuel warning level set point.
Low Oil Pressure LOIL Oil pressure is below the low oil pressure warning set point.
High Engine ETEMP Engine temperature has exceeded the high engine
Temp temperature warning level
High Oil Temp OTEMP Oil temperature has exceeded the oil temperature warning
set point
Oil Error OIL Error This message is displayed at the end of crank rest if oil
pressure is detected above the low oil pressure alarm set
point. This warning inhibits cranking to prevent the possibility
of cranking into a running engine. Cranking resumes when
the oil pressure falls below this level or a start fail alarm is
activated
Speed Error SPEED Error This message is displayed at the end of crank rest if a speed
signal above crank disconnect speed is detected.. This
warning inhibits further cranking to prevent the possibility of

EMS98R3 User Guide
cranking into a running engine. Cranking will resume when

the genset voltages indicate the genset is now stationary or a
start fail alarm is activated.
Maintenance Due CHECK The genset requires scheduled maintenance.
Pressing the Stop button for 30 Sec resets this warning.
If the maintenance time has not yet expired, the accumulated
time can be cleared by pressing the Stop button for 60 Sec.
Speed input TLOCK A Tacho Lockout occurs if an unexpected speed signal is
present detected while the unit is in Ready mode. This lockout may
be cleared by removing the source of the unexpected speed
signal. Poor performing battery chargers imposing ripple
current on the DC system are often the cause. Such ripple
can pass through the battery-charging alternator affecting the
speed sensing input.
Plant input active PLANT on The plant input is active. Auto and AMF starting and running
is disabled but manual and scheduled running is not.
Note that if the hooter output is not required when this input is
active, the hooter output can be wired through the plant input
control switch.
Maximum RMAXT The Genset has run for longer than its permissible running
Runtime time. (RMAXT).
Exceeded
Generator GENOL The GenOL input has been activated while the engine is
overloaded running
Alarms
Alarms indicate conditions, which may cause serious damage to the genset. If an alarm condition is
detected the genset will be shutdown to protect it against possible damage.
Note: If the user has set Protect = Off in the setup menu then no protection is provided and
the genset may run to catastrophic destruction. There is no automatic shutdown.
Warnings and Alarms are still indicated.
When an alarm occurs, the alarm indicator indicates red. The Alarm output (if configured) will
activate while the alarm is active. The Hooter output (if configured) will activate for the alarm time or
until the Stop button (0) is pressed.
If the alarm has an associated LED indicator then this will also be activated.
Alarms that may occur are shown below:
Alarm Display Comment
Low Oil Pressure LOIL The oil pressure is below the low oil pressure alarm set point
High Engine ETEMP The high engine temperature alarm set point has been
