1. INTRODUCTION.

The CEA6 controller unit is a device able to control the operation, monitoring and protection of a
generating set. The controller unit consists of 2 different modules:

- Visualization module. The visualization module provides information about the status of the device
and, at the same time, allows the user to interact with it. With this visualization module the user is
able to control, program and configure the functions of the unit. This visualization module allows the
checking of the last ten failures registered in the control unit (Fault history).

- Measurements module. The measurements module controls and monitors the control board. It is
located in the rear part of the panel, in order to reduce the wiring and to avoid electromagnetic
disturbances. Every signal, sensor and actuator is connected to this module.(see Annex III figures)

NOTE: As an option, a programming timer module can be added to the measures module. It
can be programmed to execute automatic starting, stopping and programmed maintenance.
Likewise the programming clock module allows to extend the historical failures records
capacity.

The measurements module provides the following readings of the electric mains supply.

o Phase to neutral voltage.

o Phase to phase voltage.
o Phase amperage.
o Frequency.
o Real, apparent and reactive powers.
o Power factor and cos phî.
o Instant power (KwH) and historical power (day, month, year).

The measurements module provides the following engine features information:

o Engine alarm inputs:

ƒ Fuel reserve.
ƒ Oil pressure.
ƒ Coolant temperature.
ƒ Coolant level.
ƒ Emergency stop. (stop button).

o Analogic engine inputs

ƒ Fuel level.
ƒ Oil Pressure.
ƒ Coolant Temperature.
ƒ Configurable input (i.e. Oil temperature).
ƒ Battery charge alternator voltage.

o Configurable inputs; the measurements device has 5 inputs that can be programmed
to carry on the following functions:
ƒ Mains contactor confirmation.
ƒ Genset contactor confirmation.
ƒ Rate change notice.
ƒ Rate change.
ƒ Start disabling.
ƒ External start.
ƒ Test.
ƒ Manual override.
ƒ 3 programmable alarms.

o Engine statistics:
ƒ Number of working hours.
ƒ Number of starts.
 The measurements module controls the following functions of the engine:
ƒ Pre-heating or Glow Plug.
ƒ Stop.
ƒ Start.
ƒ Coolant heater.
ƒ Fuel Transfer pump.
ƒ Alternator excitation.

The measurements module has outputs which allow monitoring of the operative conditions of the
controller:
o Engine running (on).
o Control board alarm.
o 3 programmable outputs which monitor the control board alarm conditions or the inputs
about the engine data.

The measurement module controls the outputs to relays in order to activate mains and generating set
contactors.

The connection between the measurements and visualization modules is made by the CAN bus
communication, which allows the interconnection of additional modules, allowing the expansion of the
CEA6 device.

With the bus CAN these additional modules can be added:

- Programming timer device.
- Telesignal device
- J1939 device
- Remote control device

2.4. PASSWORD.
The CEA6 device has 3 passwords levels of four digits to avoid non authorised access. Those different
access levels are:

• User access (password stored: 1111). The user access level allows the entrance in the CEA6
main menu.
• Maintenance access: (password stored: 1911). The maintenance access level allows the use
of the parameter programming option in the main menu.

The passwords in the CEA6 can be changed by the user in the main menu. The user can change the
passwords in the user access level, as well as in lower access levels.

NOTE: To enter new passwords, see annex II. Enter passwords.

3. OPERATIONAL MODES.
3.1. Manual Mode.
In the manual mode, the user operates the controller using the front panel of the visualization module.
The engine is manually started and stopped using the START and STOP buttons.

Pushing the START button activates the engine starting process (without deactivating the mains
contactor). Pushing the STOP button once stops the engine, with a cooling down cycle. Pushing the
STOP button twice stops the engine immediately, without cooling down phase.

With cooling.
Without cooling

NOTE: In manual mode, the safety devices of the controller remain activated, and if an anomaly is
detected, an alarm status is triggered.
In manual mode, the device ignores all external request previously programmed (i.e., Timer, ATS signal,
etc...).

Likewise, the activation of the mains and genset contactors is carried on by pushing RED/MAINS and
GRUPO/GEN buttons

The activation of the genset contactor is possible only if the engine is running and produces a stabilized
electric signal.

The activation of the genset contactor deactivates the mains contactor and vice versa; there is a waiting
time of one second (not programmable) between the contactors switching.

3.2. Automatic Mode.

In automatic mode, the CEA6 constantly controls the genset operation. In some situations,
that can be programmed to supply power, the controller starts the generator set activating the
genset contactor.

Programmable operational modes to start the genset:

- Maximum mains voltage alarm. (Alarms table parameter 88).

- Minimum mains voltage alarm. (Alarms table parameter 90).
- Maximum mains power supply frequency alarm. (Alarms table parameter 92).
- Minimum mains power supply frequency alarm. (Alarms table parameter 94).
- Mains sequence alarm (Alarms table parameter 96).
- Mains power failure alarm. (Alarms table parameter 98).
 - Mains contactor failure alarm. (Alarms table parameter 100).
- External start (Programming table parameter 10).
- Start controlled by timer (if it is included timer programming)
- Forced start (Programming table parameter 12 and Regulations table parameter 25).

As programmable starting conditions of the genset without the activation of contactors, could be
considered:
- Rate change notice (Programming table parameter 7).
- Engine test

3.3. Test Mode.

Working in Test mode, the device commands the starting of the genset following the
procedure explained in the Engine starting excepting the mains contactor activation
process. In Test mode, the controller unit does not activate the genset contactor, as long as
the genset is not started under mains alarms or mains contactor failure alarms.

In test mode, the device does not control the functions related to the programmable inputs,
except the ones associated to the alarms.

3.4. Block Mode.

The device blocks the generating set disabling every possibility of starting under any
condition:

3.5. Interruption of modes.

When the CEA6 is in manual mode, the automatic operational mode can be blocked by pressing the
AUTO button for 5 seconds. This blocking function does not allow the change of modes and the button of
the mode running at that moment will flash. To deactivate the automatic interruption mode and allow the
change of operational modes, the button associated with the active mode has to be pressed for 5 seconds.

4. WORKING MODE.
4.1. Starting the engine.
The engine works in the following way, once the controller detects an activation condition:

- Delay in the starting: Once an activation condition is detected and before going on with the
engine starting process (automatic mode), a delay in the engine starting can be programmed
(Times table parameter 3)

- Engine pre-heating phase. The control board activates the pre-heating output for a programmed
time. (Times table parameter 4)

- Engine energizing (run signal): The engine run signal is made by means of the PC (B+) output
from the measurements module. The output allows a no-excitation Stop (energise to-run) or an
excitation stop (energise to-stop) (Times table parameter 12-This output is configurable.
(Regulations table parameter 18).

- Engine starting. For a programmed period of time (Times table parameter 5), the starting
output of the measurements module is activated, waiting to detect, at least, one of the
programmed starting conditions. The possible engine starting conditions could be:

o Generator voltage. (Regulations table parameter 19). The engine would be

considered started (running) when its voltage exceeds a given value.
(Thresholds table parameter 20).

o Alternator voltage: (Regulations table parameter 20). The engine would be

considered started (running) when the battery charge alternator voltage exceeds a given
value. (Thresholds table parameter 21).

o Pick up frequency (Regulations table parameter 21). The engine would be

considered started (running) when the pick up frequency (Thresholds table parameter
22) exceeds a given value. To activate the pick up calculation through the engine ring
gear, the number of teeth of the gear must be introduced (Thresholds table parameter
24); In case the number of teeth is “0”, the frequency of the pick up will be calculated
through the generator frequency as per the equivalence-ratio 50Hz/1500 rpm or
50Hz/3000 rpm and 60 Hz/1800 rpm. (Regulations table parameter 26).

o Low oil pressure. (Regulations table parameter 22). It is not advisable to use the low
oil pressure signal as a way to detect if the engine is working, but it is useful as a
protection, in order to avoid engaging the starter while the engine is running. Exception
for this "Engine Start Detection" option is SCANIA engines and also the sensors which
have self - electrical supply.

If in the programmed time the starting of the engine is not detected, the control board waits for a
short time (Times table parameter 2) before attempting a new start. The Start failure alarm will
be raised after a specified number of attempts without detecting any starting condition (Times
table parameter 1).
In the starting cycle, the excitation of the battery charge alternator is activated through the D+
output temporarily (Times table parameter 8). Once the excitation of the alternator is finished,
the measurements module checks if the battery charge alternator is working properly. The battery
charge alternator failure alarm is raised in case of an output failure. (Alarms table parameter
10).

- Engine stabilization: Once any of the starting conditions is detected, the controller waits for a
programmed stabilization-time of the generator output, before monitoring output parameters.
- Nominal condition. Once the stabilization of the engine is reached, the next step is the checking
of the signal produced by the generator. In this way, the quality of the signal produced by the
generator set is monitored (voltage levels, frequency…).

- Genset contactor activation. If it is included in the valid signal parameters, the mains contactor
is deactivated. Depending on the Genset Contactor Confirmation programming mode (
Programming table parameter 6), the control board will wait the confirmation of the contactor
closing for a maximum time (Times table parameter 13); If after such time the confirmation of the
contactor closing is not detected, the genset contactor alarm triggers and a stop with cooling-cycle
 follows. The activation of the genset contactor is disabled by a low engine temperature
(Thresholds table parameter 29).

Start operating process. Practical example.

NOTE: Before initiating the stop cycle, it is advisable that the main genset circuit breaker be switched
OFF.

OPERATING: When the START button is pressed, the starting

cycle will be initiated, and the START LED will be on. At the
same time, if the engine has glow plugs, the PR output will be
activated, and the appropriate LED will be on ( ),during
the programmed period of time (11'' by default).(1)

After this period of time, the PR outlet becomes inactive, the

LED will turn off ( ) and, soon afterwards the PC positive
contact output becomes active and 0,5" later the ARR crank
output also becomes active ( ). This output remains
activated until any of the engine started conditions is detected.
(2)

Once the engine is detected as started the LED ( ) turns

on. Then the starting cycle is finished and the START button
switches off. (3)

The LED controlling the voltage of the battery charge alternator

lights ( ) when the value of the voltage given by the
alternator is higher than the voltage threshold previously
programmed. (4)
If during the starting cycle, the engine is not detected as started,
after 5”, the ARR output becomes inactive and its related LED
switch off ( ). Afterwards and automatically the controller will
begin a new starting attempt, repeating a new cycle without any
need to push START (4 cycles by default). Having all the
attempts exhausted without any effective start, the controller will
trigger the START FAILURE alarm. (5)

To stop the starting cycle, just press the STOP button.

STAR FAILURE

NOTE: readings about the engine condition are shown on the display, and details about the start
operating process can be visualized. The sequence being as follows:
Genset: Stop
Genset : Starting
Genset : Started
Genset : Stabilized
Genset : Loading
NOTE.: The starting process in an automatic system by means of timer, ATS signal, etc... works in the
same way as a starting cycle in manual mode.

4.2. Engine stop.

The stop engine process in the automatic-mode is done according to the following process:

- Mains contactor activation. Once the generator stopping condition is detected there is a
verification time (Times table parameter 10) that checks if the quality of the mains signal is
considered as correct. Then the control board deactivates the genset contactor. Depending on
the configuration of the Mains Contactor Confirmation mode (Times table parameter 5), the
device waits fot the contactor closing confirmation during a maximum time(Times table
parameter 13); If after such time there is no confirmation of the mains contactor closing, the
mains contactor failure alarm will trigger and the engine will start again.

- Engine cooling down: Once all loads are disconnected, the engine will continue to run for
some time during the cooling time (Times table parameter 11). Under particular situations the
alarms of the controller may be programmed (Alarms table parameters 3, 6, 9...) to stop
immediately without the cooling down of the engine.

- Engine stop. After the cooling down of the engine, the PC output of the measurements module
is switched off or on, according to the programmed stop configuration (Regulations table
parameter 18). As a condition of the engine stop, it can be selected:

o Generator voltage. (Regulations table parameter 19). The engine would be

considered stopped when the generator voltage is lower than its starting threshold
(Thresholds table parameter 20).

o Alternator voltage: (Regulations table parameter 20). The engine would be

considered stopped when the battery charge alternator voltage is lower than the starting
threshold (Thresholds table parameter 21).
 o Pick up frequency. (Regulations table parameter 21). The engine would be
considered stopped when the pick up frequency is lower than its starting threshold
(Thresholds table parameter 22). To activate the pick up calculation through the
engine ring gear, the number of teeth of the gear must be introduced (Thresholds table
parameter 24); In case the programmed number of teeth is “0”, the frequency of the pick
up will be calculated through the generator frequency as per the equivalence-ratio
50Hz/1500 rpm, 50Hz/3000 rpm or 60Hz/1800 rpm. (Regulations table parameter 26).

o Low Oil Pressure. (Regulations table parameter 22). The condition of Low Oil
Pressure considers the engine stopped when it detects that the sensor is closed.
Exception for this "Engine Start Detection" option is SCANIA engines and also the
sensors which have self - electrical supply.

All the programmed stopping conditions must be present for an interval of time (Alarms table parameter
71) to consider the engine as stopped. If after ten seconds it has not been detected any of the engine stop
conditions, the Stop Failure alarm will be activated.

Stop operating process. Practical example

NOTE: Before initiating the stop cycle, it is advisable that the main genset circuit breaker be switched OFF.

The genset can be stopped in several ways:

1. Manual: Press STOP button once. The genset stops with cooling down.
2. Manual: Press STOP button once again. The genset stops without cooling down.
3. Place the activation key of the board in “O” position. The genset stops without cooling down.
4. Automatic: The genset stops with cooling down cycle after the deactivation of the command
which automatically started the genset.

Sequence: Pressing the STOP button once, the stop cycle will
start with the engine cooling process. The STOP button will
light . (1)

Once the cooling time is over the PC output is activated or

deactivated, according the type of engine, to carry on with the
stopping cycle. Then the STOP button and the LED ( ) of
started engine switch off. (2)

If after a period of time an engine running condition of "started

engine" is detected, the control board will show in the display
the STOP FAILURE alarm and the LED of the STOP button STOP FAILURE

will light. (3)

The LED controlling the voltage of the battery charge alternator
( ) turns off when the value of the voltage given by the
alternator is lower than the voltage threshold previously
programmed (4).

NOTE: Readings about the engine condition are shown on the display, and details about the stop
operating process can be visualized. The sequence being as follows:
Genset : Stabilized
Genset : Cooling
Genset : Stopping
Genset : Stop

4.3. Transfer fuel pump. (BTC, BTNA)

The transfer fuel pump function process can be activated in the CEA6 device by linking its working service
to the BT relay from the measurements module. (Regulations table parameter 4). Once the transfer
pump option is activated, its operation modes are as follows (Regulations table parameter 1):

- Inhibited mode. No transfer fuel pump functions can be considered

- Manual mode: the transfer pump is operated by pressing the diesel Transference button,
provided that the fuel level is under the maximum threshold parameters (Thresholds table
parameter 19)

- Automatic mode: the transfer pump becomes operative according to the minimum activation
parameters (Thresholds table parameter 18) under which the relay BT is activated/energised
and according to the maximum deactivation parameters (Thresholds table parameter 19),
over which the relay BT is de-energised.

- Control board mode: the transfer pump operation is carried out as follows:
o When the controller is in automatic or test-mode, the transfer pump is operated
automatically.
o When the controller is manual-mode, the transfer pump operation is carried out in
manual mode.
o When the controller is in a blocked-mode, the transfer pump operation is inhibited.

For an accurate fuel level measurement (needed for the fuel pump and fuel level alarm functions) a
calibration of the tank level sender must be done, by having access to both the minimum and maximum
parameters of the level sender (Measurements table parameters 12 and 13). To adjust the minimum fuel
level of the tank it must be recorded the parameter 12 of the measurement table with the level sender in its
minimum position. To adjust the maximum fuel level of the tank, it must be recorded the parameter 13 of
the measurement table with the level sender in its maximum position.
4.4. Pre-Heating.
The engine pre-heating allows 2 activation modes:

- Assigning to the BT relay of the measurement module, the pre-heating working process (
Regulations table parameter 4).

- Assigning to any of the 4 programmable outputs of the measurement module the pre-heating
working process (Programming table parameters 1 to 4), provided the BT relay of the
measurement module is in charge of the fuel transfer pump functions. (Regulations table
parameter 4).

The following functions are executed by the engine pre-heating:

- Under an adjustable engine temperature threshold (Thresholds table parameter 29), the pre-
heating system is activated.
- Under an adjustable engine temperature threshold (Thresholds table parameter 28), the
activation of the genset contactor is disabled and the low engine temperature alarm rises
(Alarms table parameters 73 to 74).
- Over an adjustable engine temperature threshold (Thresholds table parameter 30), the pre-
heating system is deactivated.

4.5. Battery charger alternator.

E The battery charge alternator is connected to the CEA6 device by means of the digital output D+ and the
analog input DI from the measurement module.

The CEA6 can be configured to trigger an Alternator Voltage alarm (Alarms table parameter 10 to 12) if it
is detected a low voltage level provided by the battery charge alternator through the DI analog input from
the measurement module.

Two working modes of the battery charge alternator can be selected (Regulations table parameter 3)

4.6. Alternator mode.

The battery charge alternator of the CEA6, configured as alternator mode, energize the alternator, by
means of a triggering pulse of configurable duration (Times table parameter 8). This is done during the
engine starting process through the D+ output from the measurement module. When this pulse ends, the
control board test the voltage produced by the battery charge alternator.

The voltage produced by the battery charge alternator can be used as starting engine condition
(Regulations table parameter 20). For that purpose, the CEA6 expects to measure, through the DI
analog input, voltage values exceeding the alternator voltage detection threshold ( Thresholds table
parameter 21).

The CEA6 device can be configured to raise an Alternator Voltage alarm (Alarm table parameter 10 to
12) if it is detected a low voltage level provided by the battery charge alternator through the DI analog input
from the measurement module. (only if the alternator mode is configured).

4.7. Dynamo mode.

The battery charge alternator of the CEA6, configured as dynamo mode, excites the alternator with a
continuous triggering pulse by means of the D+ output from the measurement module, as long as the
engine stands in starting phase or already started.

The device, configured in dynamo mode, can not use the voltage measured through the analog input DI to
detect engine started condition.

4.8. “MAN” Inputs.

The start/stop key in “ON” position, supplies power to the CEA6 (measurements and visualization
module).
The MAN" entrance should be connected with positive of batteries (8-36V), to activate the electronic
device CEA6.
5. CEA6 inputs and outputs.
The digital inputs of the CEA6 device, with specific functions as well as the programmable ones, have
associated a stabilization time (Times table parameters 15 to 24) which requires the values of the inputs
to be stable for a period of time.
Likewise, all the inputs of the control board can be configured to be active or not active, with contact
closed to earth (Regulations table parameters 5 to 15).

The status of the inputs and outputs of the CEA6 can be visualized from the menu MAIN Æ1.
Inputs/Outputs. From this screen, the status of the digital inputs and outputs are displayed.

5.1. Digital Inputs.

Presets inputs.
The measures module in the CEA6 has 5 digital inputs, whose working process is already pre-set.

Fixed inputs show the following situations:

High temperature (HTC).

Digital signal reporting to the controller that the thermostat of the engine has detected a failure and sets on
an alarm due to the engine high temperature ( Alarm table parameters 1 to 3).

Low oil pressure (LOP).

Digital signal reporting to the controller that the engine pressure switch has detected a failure and sets on
an alarm due to the low oil pressure ( Alarm table parameters 4 to 6).

Coolant level (CL).

Digital signal reporting to the controller that an alarm triggered due to low coolant level (Alarms table
parameters 16 to 18).

Emergency stop (EMS).

Digital signal reporting to the controller that an immediate stop without cooling must be done.

Fuel reserve (FR).

Digital signal reporting to the controller that an alarm has been generated due to a failure in the fuel
reserve. (Alarm table parameters 19 to 21).

Programmable inputs.
The measurement module of the CEA6 has 5 digital inputs whose working mode can be programmed.

The inputs of programmable functions can be configured to work in the following way:
 Mains contactor confirmation (CKR).
The mains contactor confirmation configured input (Programming table parameter 5) is used to verify
the correct activation of the mains contactor.
After the activation of the mains contactor, a waiting time is produced (Times table parameter 13) to
check the activation of the contactor by means of the input programmed as mains contactor confirmation.
A mains contactor alarm triggers (Alarm table parameter 100) if, once the waiting time is over, there is no
confirmation of the mains contactor activation and the controller does not detect a mains failure alarm.
If the control board is working in automatic mode, a starting of the controller is produced with the activation
of the genset contactor in order to power the load.

Genset contactor confirmation (CKG).

The genset contactor confirmation configured input (Programming table parameter 6) is used to verify
the correct activation of the genset contactor.
After the activation of the genset contactor, a waiting time is produced (Times table parameter 13) to
check the activation of the contactor by means of the input programmed as genset contactor confirmation.
A genset contactor alarm triggers (Alarm table parameter 100), once the waiting time is over, if there is
no confirmation of the genset contactor activation.
If the control board is working in automatic mode, a stop with engine cooling is produced and also the
mains contactor is activated if this happens to be within the valid working parameters.

Rate notice signal (EJP1).

This function only works when the CEA6 functions in automatic mode.
The input configured as rate notice (Programming table parameter 7) starts the genset after activating
the relating input and once a programmed time is over.
(Times table parameter 9). The rate notification is considered finished when the EJP1 input is
deactivated and a stop with engine cooling is produced.

Rate change notice signal (EJP2).

This function only works when the CEA6 functions in automatic mode.
The input configured as rate change notice signal (Programming table parameter 8) activates the genset
contactor, provided no abnormal situation is detected in the genset.

Start disabling signal (IA).

This function only works when the CEA6 functions in automatic mode.
The input configured as start disabling signal (Programming table parameter 9) does not allow the
starting of the genset under any condition, excepting manual override starting (Programming table
parameter 12) configured as a high priority option. (Regulations table parameter 25).

External start signal (ES).

This function only works when the CEA6 functions in automatic mode
The input configured as external start (Programming table parameter 10) forces the starting of the
genset if it is working in automatic mode, provided that no of the following start disabling conditions are
present:
- The device does not control the start disabling input or it is not activated.
- The device status is not blocked by the programming timer.

Test signal (TEST).

This function only works when the CEA6 functions in automatic mode.
The input configured as test (Programming table parameter 11) allows the checking of the genset
without interfering in the mains. If any of the engine stating conditions is present, (mains power failure,
starting by programming timer…) the control board activates the genset contactor.

Manual Override (MFOR).

This function only works when the CEA6 functions are in automatic mode.
The input configured as override (Programming table parameter 12) meets the fire safety regulations
and accordingly the genset working can not be interrupted under any condition (be it alarm, external
disabling input or programmed blocking). Three manual override working modes can be configured
(Regulations table parameter 25):
 - Manual override disabling. The manual override process is not managed, despite of having an
associated programmable input.
- Starting due to mains power failure. When the manual override input is activated, there is a time in
which is expected the genset to start due to any programmed condition (mains signal alarms, mains
contactor failure, external start...). In automatic mode, to stop the functions of the device, it is not
enough the mains voltage alarm disappears but must be deactivated the manual override input.
- Manual override starting. The genset starts immediately when the manual override input is activated,
without awaiting any other starting condition. To stop the device, it is necessary to change to manual
mode and stop the controller with the pushing buttons.

Programmable alarms (AL1, AL2 and AL3).

There are 3 free to be programmed alarms (Programming table parameters 13, 14 and 15) that can be
associated to any of the programmable inputs whose function is to provide additional alarms to the
controller. Its working mode is programmable. (Alarms table parameters 79 to 87).

5.2. Analog Inputs.

The CEA6 device has 5 analog inputs to measure the several engine working values. Such analog inputs
will allow to portray the engine working process and display its condition, setting on alarms if required,
being its working already pre-set. The alarms caused by the analog inputs does not stop the engine, they
are only a warning
By default, the alarms raised by analog inputs do not stop the controller (engine warnings), but can be
configured to produce the stop, with or without cooling.
The CEA6 controller carries out a continuous checking of the installed analog sensors, showing in the
visualization module display the value of the readings made.

The analog fuel level input indicates the amount of fuel left in the tank. To fit its working mode, the
maximum fuel level in the tank must be set (Measurements table parameter 13), and the same with the
minimum fuel level. (Measurements table parameter 12).

In the same way, a minimum fuel-in tank threshold (Thresholds table parameter 25) can be fixed, and it
will raise an engine warning (Alarms table parameter 55 to 57) when the fuel level is detected under
such limits.

When the BT relay from the measurement module is programmed to control the functions of the fuel
transfer pump, it will start the pump to transfer fuel to the tank if the fuel level is detected under the
minimum limits (Thresholds table parameter 18). The fuel pump is deactivated when the fuel level is
detected over the programmable threshold (Thresholds table parameter 19). Working the fuel pump in
manual mode, the threshold disables the activation of the fuel transfer pump except in case of the user
intervention.

Oil pressure input (P).

The analog fuel pressure input allows supervising the engine oil pressure value. The controller allows the
connection of VDO sensors to such analog input.
By programming a threshold, a minimum oil pressure limit can be set (Thresholds table parameter 26) in
order to raise an engine warning (Alarms table parameter 52 to 54) when the pressure is detected under
such limit.

Engine temperature input (T).

The analog engine temperature input allows to supervise the engine coolant temperature value. The
controller allows the connection of VDO type sensors to such analog input. By programming a threshold, a
maximum engine temperature limit can be set (Thresholds table parameter 27) in order to raise an
engine warning (Alarms table parameter 49 to 51) when the temperature is detected over such limit.

In the same way, if the pre-heating function is programmed (by means of the BT relay, if it is programmed
to regulate the fuel pump, or any other programmable input), the analog temperature inputs allows to
regulate the activation of the pre-heating cycle.
Analog configurable input (AnC).
The analog configurable input (AnC) allows to control an engine measurement (i.e. engine
temperature).The controller permits the connection of VDO type sensors to this analog input. The
measured value is shown in the display.

Alternator voltage input (DI).

The analog voltage input allows to supervise the value of the voltage generated by the battery charge
alternator. Such an input is used to diagnose the possible abnormal working of the alternator, if this
detects a low voltage level while the engine is on work. Under such condition an alarm signal of the battery
alternator will be triggered. (Alarms table parameter 10 to 12).

In that way, the voltage can be programmed to detect a starting condition (Regulations table parameter
20) by means of setting an alternator voltage threshold for started engine (Thresholds table parameter
21), only if it is not configured as dynamo mode (Regulations table parameter 3).

5.3. Pick–up Input. (PCK1, PCK2).

The pick up input from the measurement module controls the rotation speed of the engine in revolutions
per minute (rpm). To activate the pick up calculation through the engine ring gear, the number of teeth of
the gear must be introduced (Thresholds table parameter 24). In case the number of teeth is “0” the
controller is configured to have not available the pick up and the rotation speed will be calculated through
the genset frequency as per the equivalence-ratio 50Hz/1500 rpm or 50Hz/3000 rpm and 60 Hz/1800 rpm.
(Regulations table parameter 26).

The CEA6 device can be configured to trigger an overspeed alarm (Alarms table parameters 22 to 24)
as well as an underspeed alarm (Alarms table parameters 25 to 27) taking into account the mechanical
speed given by the pick up.

5.4. Digital outputs.

The CEA6 device has 9 outputs of specific functions (3 outputs to relay, 3 power outputs and 3 digital
inputs)
The working mode of those outputs is pre-established, though they can be configured.

Pre-heating output.
The pre-heating output (PR) of the CEA is an output connected to a high voltage short-circuitable driver
(70A) in charge of regulating the the glow plug heating procedure of the engine during the starting cycle.
The activation time of the pre-heating output is configurable (Times table parameter 4). The pre-heating
output can be also used to control the stop by excitation of engines with this kind of stop configuration
(Regulations table parameter 18).

Engine starting output.

The engine starting output (ARR) of the CEA6 is an output connected to a high voltage short-circuitable
driver (70A) which activates the starting of the engine. The activation of the engine starting remains until
any programmed starting condition is detected (Regulations table parameters 19 to 22) during a
maximum programmable time (Times table parameter 5).

Engine stop output.

The engine stop output (PC) of the CEA6 is connected to a high voltage short-circuitable driver (70A)
which controls the stopping of the engine. The engine stop input allows the configuration of its working
mode to control engines with 2 stopping modes:

ƒ De-excitation stop: The engine stop output configured as stop by de-excitation is activated
500ms after the pre-heating output is disabled and it is deactivated when the stop of the engine
is ordered.
 ƒ Excitation stop. The engine stop output configured as stop by excitation is activated during a
programmable time (Times table parameter 12) when the stop of the engine is ordered.
ƒ Excitation/ de-excitation stop. The engine stop output configured as stop by excitation/de-
excitation is activated 500ms after the pre-heating output is disabled and it is deactivated when
the stop of the engine is ordered. Such output is used to enable the engine sensors. The pre-
heating output will be the responsible of the stopping phase by means of the excitation stop
cycle.

Mains contactor output.

The mains contactor output (MC) of the CEA6 controls the connection of the installation to the mains.

Genset contactor output.

The genset contactor output (GC) of the CEA6 controls the connection of the installation to the genset.

Fuel pump/pre-heating output.

The fuel pump/pre-heating (FP) of the CEA6 is an output that can be configured (Regulations table
parameter 4) to control the filling of the genset fuel tank with the fuel pump or the pre-heating process of
the engine.

Battery charge alternator excitation output (D+).

The D+ output of the CEA6 is in charge of exciting the battery charge alternator during the starting
process. This output can be configured (Regulations table parameter 3) to produce a starting pulse
(alternator mode) of a programmable time (Times table parameter 8) or to keep the alternator
continuously excited (dynamo mode).

Alarm output (AL).

The alarm output (AL) is in charge of communicating the different status of the CEA6 device. The AL
output is activated simultaneously with the flashing of the LED of the Reset button and the buzzer from the
display module of the CEA6. This input monitors the following status of the controller:

- External start of the control board. The alarm output of the device (AL) is activated for 5
seconds if it is detected a control board start ordered by a programmable input, associated to
the AE mode.

- Control board failures. The CEA6 device is activated for a maximum programmable time
(Times table parameter 14) if it is detected an active failure or a failure waiting to be
acknowledged by the user. If the user presses once the Reset button, the AL output is
deactivated. The failures that activates the AL output are suitable to the alarms which induce
the engine stop as well as the warnings which do not stop the engines, excepting the ones
raised by the quality of the mains signal:

o Mains power failure

o Maximum mains voltage
o Minimum mains voltage
o Maximum mains power supply frequency
o Minimum mains power supply frequency
o Phase sequence

Started engine output (SE).

The started engine output (SE) of the CEA6 device is activated whatever engine started condition is
detected and remains activated while the engine continues running. The started engine output (SE)
deactivates when the engine stopping cycle starts. This process includes the cooling of the engine (Times
table parameter 11) during the stopping cycle.
5.5. Programmable outputs
The CEA6 device has 3 programmable outputs whose working mode can be configured to indicate
different controller status. The possible configurations are:

Inhibited output
The programmable outputs configured as inhibited output do not obey to any action or status, they remain
constantly deactivated.

The programmable outputs configured as programmed by input status are activated when an associated
input is detected.

As possible inputs configurations, can be found the following:

- Fuel level input
- Coolant level input
- Programmable input 1
- Programmable input 2
- Programmable input 3
- Programmable input 4
- Programmable input 5

Programmed by alarm.

mode of the controller.

As possible mode configurations, can be found the following:

- Controller in blocked mode.

- Controller in manual mode.
- Controller in auto mode.
- Controller in test mode
6. CEA6 ALARMS.
The CEA6 device provides a series of alarms whose working mode can be configured to perform actions
or to be shown in the display of the visualization module.

The CEA6 distinguishes between anomalies which cause the stop of the engine (alarms) and errors which
do not stop the engine (warnings).

When an alarm or warning is detected, the controller produces an acoustic alarm, at the same time the
digital alarm output (AL) activates and the LED of RESET button flashes; this status will remain the
same as long as the failure condition continues for a programmable period of time (Times table
parameter 14).

The LED of the RESET button lights (and remains ON) when alarms or warnings are active or in need of
acknowledgement. Pressing RESET button once allows the user to visualize a record of alarms and
warnings that are active and needing to be acknowledged. The UP and DOWN buttons of the display are
used to go back and forward in the failure record.

The record of warnings that are active or in need of acknowledgement has the following format

N: To be checked N: Number of position in

the total record of errors

E: Alarm N: Number of
A: Warning errors in the record

* A L A R M * E N 1 / 3

M I N . F R E Q U E N C Y G E N S E T

In the front panel of the control board there can be found LEDs which indicate alarms detected by digital
sensors (digital inputs) or by analog sensors (analog inputs).

NOTE: The alarms which cause the engine to stop are not auto-resetting, and they must be acknowledged
and re-set by the user in order to be able to start the engine again, but only if the alarm does not remain
active.
The alarms produced by analog inputs do not stop the engine, only trigger a warning according to the
settings programmed by default. They need to be reset to erase them from the display, but only if the
warning does not remain active. The fuel level alarm is an exception, as it is automatically reset.
ALARM OPERATING PROCESS. PRACTICAL EXAMPLE.
“EN” Alarm with engine stop
“AN” Warning that needs to be reset
“A” Warning automatically reset

“EN” Alarm with engine stop

1. When an alarm is detected, the controller produces an acoustic signal, the LED of the RESET
button flashes, the display blinks and the appropriate digital alarm output (AL) is activated. In this
case the engine stops.
2. The acoustic alarm is interrupted by pressing once the RESET button. The RESET LED turns into
fixed light and the display (which stops flashing) shows the kind of alarm. i.e.: Active alarm “EN”
High coolant temperature.
3. To solve the alarm problem: In this example the temperature of the engine must be reduced when
the engine stops. Check the coolant level of the engine to detect the cause of the failure. Once
the alarm is no longer active “N” it will be possible to reset it by pressing RESET button and the
engine can be restarted.

HIGH TEMPERATURE HIGH TEMPERATURE

WATER WATER

“AN” Warning that needs to be reset.

1. When an alarm is detected, the controller produces an acoustic signal, the LED of the RESET
button flashes, the display blinks and the appropriate digital alarm output (AL) is activated.
2. The acoustic alarm is cancelled by pressing once the RESET button. Once the RESET LED turns
into fixed light and the display (which stops flashing) shows the kind of Active warning “AN”
3. To solve the warning problem: In this case, stop the engine, if we consider so, to check the cause
of the fault indicated. Once the warning is no longer active, “N” will appear in the display and it will
be possible to reset it by pressing RESET button.

Status of the device.
The CEA6 status can be read in the display and allows the user to gain access to the different figures and
readings by means of the UP/DOWN buttons.

The display of the amperage figures depends on the locational configuration of the current transformers
(Regulations table parameter 24):
• Amperage readings in output line. The amperage value is shown in the mains or generator
display, depending on which contactor (mains or genset) is ON. In the display where no
amperage reading is shown, the numeric value is replaced by a dash symbol.
• Amperage readings in genset control panel: The amperage obtained is shown on the genset
display.

Annex IV: CAN communications.

Introduction.
The CAN bus is a powerful and reliable industrial bus that ensures the efficient communication between
the devices in the environments full of electric disturbances. The devices provided with CAN controller can
be integrated into an industrial system of control and automation.

The most important characteristics of a control system with CAN bus communication are the following:
• It is possible to connect up to 110 devices in a single CAN network.
• Each network can reach a length of 1000 meters, easily extended (up to 2000 meters) with the use of
bridges or repeaters.
• CAN bus transmission speed 50 Kbits/s (for 1000 meters bus: 10 ms of data updating).
• Direct access to the CAN bus from a PC by means of a USB Can.
The Can bus is prepared to work in extreme conditions of noise and interferences and at the same time,
the failure checking mechanisms guarantee that the frames affected by the disturbance can be detected.
The CAN bus is designed to continue the communication even if:
• Any of the two bus wires cuts.
• Any cable is short-circuited to earth.
• Any cable is short-circuited to feeding.

Topology
The Can network uses a bus topology in which each node has an input and an output connection, The
endpoint nodes of the bus must have a 120Ω terminator: this terminator is activated by means of a switch
in each module (ON: enabled terminator, 1: disabled terminator). In each case, the impedance found
between the CANH and CANL must be, approximately, 60Ω. To do so, in each network endpoint a
resistance value must be defined to guarantee such impedance value from every connected device.

The impedance measurement must be obtained when all the equipments are not working or they have
not physical access from the network.
For more information it is recommended to consult the ISO11898 standards and the different applications
notes.

CAN bus topology.

Wiring.
The can network needs a wiring depending of the distance, the speed transmission, and the number of
nodes connected to the bus.

Wire resistance <21Ω <18,5Ω <16Ω

Table 2: Wire characteristics according the number of nodes.

In order to connect the different nodes of the network a twisted pair without shielding is needed. As an
exception, the connection between the measurement and the visualization module can be done using a
wiring not twisted.
In very noisy environments affected by high electromagnetic interference (EMI), a twisted shielded wire
with the shield connected to earth can be used. Other technique to improve the immunity against the
electromagnetic interference consists in substituting the CAN terminator of the node for 2 resistances of 62
Ω and installing a decoupling capacitor between the resistances CAN and the battery negative.

Protection technique against electromagnetic interferences: Decoupling capacitor.

Annex V: Telesignal: Communication option by digital
outputs.
Introduction:
The range of CEA6, CEM6 and CEC6 controllers allow the monitoring of the devices status by means of a
number of relay outputs. The Telesignal option is connected to the range of CeA6 devices of Himoinsa
through a CAN communication cable. The configuration software of the controlboards, configured in local
mode (USB can) or remote (CCrs), allows the adjustment of its functions.
The Telesignal option is connected to the Cex6 Himoinsa controlboard with a twisted pair with or without
shielding; depending of the installation environment and it can even be of 1 Km length. The CEX6 device
allows the installation of 4 optional Telesignal equipments simultaneously.

Telesignal components:
• Feeding and communication terminal plate
• Terminal plate of digital outputs to relay
o 4 contact outputs NC/CL.
o 8 contact outputs CL
• 1 feeding led
• 12 LEDs to visualize the output status.
• Activation Microswitch, CAN terminator.
• Microswitch of 2 switches to fix the number of modules (maximum 4)

Figure 1: Telesignal module.

Telesignal programation.
The Telesignal option allows the output programation in order to monitor the status of the CEx6 device.
This programation option showed below will be available if the Telesignal option is installed. On the left of
the screen, a tree view presents all the activation conditions of each output.

Figure 2: Telesignal configuration.

The programation process of an output is the following:

1. Select the item referring the chosen output.
2. Select the file where the activation conditions we want to apply to the selected output can be
found
3. Select the desired condition.
4. Repeat the process with all the conditions needed.

By pressing the “General Alarm” button all the possible alarm conditions to activate the output are
selected.

Working mode.
The outputs of the Telesignal option can be programmed to be activated depending on:
• Any alarms of the controlboard, active or waiting to be checked.
• Any activated input of the controlboard.
• Any activated output of the controlboard.
Each output of the Telesignal device is activated if, at least, one of the programmed activation conditions is
raised.

The CAN network of the controlboard has a BUS based topology. The different devices are consecutively
connected, using the CANH and CANL input and output terminals to link the modules.

The terminating resistors will be connected to the network terminal nodes, using the appropriate
microswitch.

The maximum distance between the terminal nodes of the network is 1000m

Annex VI: CCrs: Communication option via modem.

Introduction.

The range of CEA6, CEM6 and CEC6 controllers allow a remote monitoring and supervision function
thanks to the CCrs option. This option allows to establish a connection between the controlboard and the
monitorization and configuration software, by means of a modem or GPRS (NOT INCLUDED with the
CCrs option)

CCrs installation.

System requirements.
The CCrs option needs the following elements to obtain a remote connection:
• PC that fulfils the following requirements to execute the monitorization and configuration software:
o Pentium III 1.3 GHz
o Microsoft Windows XP with Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0
o 512 Mb RAM
o 50 Mb free in the hard disk
o Modem 14400 or superior (line modem or GPRS)
• Modem and serial cable to connect to the CCrs
• Optional: a null modem type cable and CCrs configuration software.

Communicating with the controlboard.

The Pc software of the controlboard automatically detects (when starting) if a local connection of
communications (USB Can option) is available or if it is detected a remote connection via modem. In case
a remote connection is found, a dialog box will appear waiting to enter the required parameters to establish
the communication.

Figure 3: Parameter box of remote communication

Communication parameters required:
• Telephone number of the controlboard.
• PIN: Pin of the SIM if required
• Password: Controlboard password, at least user level password.
• Kind of modem: Line or GPRS.
• Locate option.
The introduced parameters can be stored for the next use (except the controlboard password)

In the same way, a kind of "waiting connection" can be done, capable of allowing the connection between
the controlboards and the PC software in case any event occurs in the registration moment.

Once the dialing data are introduced, the software of the PC tries to establish the connection with the
controlboard.

Figure 4: Connection with the controlboard screen

As soon as the connection with the controboard is confirmed, the monitorization or configuration software
of the controlboard starts running.
