OPERATOR MANUAL
1. Glossary
ALTERNATOR: rotating electrical machine.
ATS: (Automatic Transfer Switch) a device that guarantees power to the load by switching from the normal power supply
(Mains) to the emergency power supply (GENSET). The power disconnection devices, GCB and MCB, are found inside
it. These can consist of a switch, a contactor or a changeover switch.
BC: battery charger
ERROR CODE: refers to the SPN and FMI diagnostic alphanumeric codes used in the SAE J1939 Standard. They are
used by service centres to identify behaviours or causes of defects in the motor.
Thanks to the SAE1939 communication protocol, the ERROR CODES can provide very precise and specific information.
DISPLAY: refers to the video screen on which the data provided or processed by the electronic GUARD TOUCH device
are displayed.
ECU: stands for ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT, which identifies the electronic controller installed in the motor. Its
function is to control the injection and rotation speed. Moreover, it verifies that the motor runs smoothly and stops it if the
operating conditions do not fall within the limits allowed or become hazardous.
EJP: specific operating mode for the French market. It is active in the AUTO mode and forces the GENSET to start-up
with forced supply to the load even in the presence of the Mains.
FMI: identification numeric code related to the SAE 1939 Standard, which identifies the severity of the recorded fault.
GENSET: abbreviation of generating set.
GCB: (Genset Circuit Breaker) identifies the disconnection device of the power produced by the alternator. It generally
consists of a switch, a contactor or a changeover switch. It can be installed on the GENSET or in the ATS.
GUARD TOUCH: electronic device that controls the smooth operation of the generating set. Also determines the
operating modes and cycles according to the configuration. All the gathered information appears on the display, which
also accepts operator commands.
MCB: (Main Circuit Breaker) identifies the disconnection device of the mains power supply. It generally consists of a
switch, a contactor or a changeover switch. It is usually installed in the ATS.
OPERATING MODE: identifies the status in which the machine is programmed to work, according to the type of system.
The operating modes are: OFF, MAN, AUTO and TEST.
 OFF: safe operating mode with all the GENSET commands disabled.
 MAN: operating mode with the GENSET commands controlled directly by the operator.
 AUTO: operating mode with the GENSET commands controlled automatically
 TEST: operating mode where the GENSET is automatically started up and AUTOMATIC operation is
simulated.
OPERATOR: a person with appropriate training, knowledge and experience to use the GENSET while assessing the
risks and hazards.
MAINS: primary distribution system, which the user connects to for electrical power supply
SPM: stands for SINGLE PRIME MOVER, which identifies a single GENSET to power an island load. These GENSETS
are manually operated as they have no autonomous start-up system and are controlled by an operator directly on site.
SSB: stands for SINGLE STAND-BY, which identifies a single GENSET to power an island load in an emergency status
on the primary Mains network. A GENSET configured this way can autonomously control its start-ups and switchover
times of the ATS, while also controlling the quality of the Mains.
SPN: identification numeric code related to the SAE 1939 Standard, which identifies the type of recorded fault.
TOUCH SCREEN: is a plastic film applied on the display. Its function is to detect the presence and position of an object
in contact within an area on the screen and allows direct interaction with the icons displayed.

GUARD TOUCH
OPERATOR MANUAL
WARNING STATUS: is an abnormal operating status in the GENSET, recorded by the GUARD TOUCH. This can be
activated if hazardous operating conditions are neared or maintenance is required. When one of these conditions occurs,
a buzzer is sounded and a message appears on the display, describing the cause. The GENSET can still be used when
in the WARNING status as the causes are not considered hazardous.
ALARM STATUS: is an abnormal operating status in the GENSET, recorded by the GUARD TOUCH. This can be
activated if hazardous operating conditions arise, which could damage the GENSET, property or persons. When one of
these conditions occurs, a buzzer is sounded and a text message appears on the display.
If the GENSET is running, it is switched off when an ALARM status is triggered; if, on the other hand it was off, start-up
is disabled.
MAIN PAGE: or PAGE 1/5. This page contains the most important information regarding the GENSET. The GUARD
TOUCH device will automatically return to the MAIN PAGE if the device is not interacted with for six minutes.
POWER-ON: start-up sequence of the GUARD TOUCH board as from when it is powered up to when the MAIN PAGE is
displayed.
POWER-OFF: shutdown sequence of the GUARD TOUCH board.

OPERATOR MANUAL
3. Introduction
Dear Customer,
On behalf of Visa Spa, we would like to thank you for having purchased a product of ours.
Your GENSET is equipped with the control and protection device called GUARD TOUCH, which is developed with the
latest technology and allows the operator to interact with the GENSET via the touch control system directly on the
display, without using external buttons.
The GUARD TOUCH device is intended to command and control the GENSET, as well as monitor and protect the motor
and alternator. This device offers several uses: in MANUAL mode, by operating directly on the start and stop controls, or
AUTOMATIC mode. The latter allows the start-up and operating cycles to be controlled without the operator present, by
following the specifically set program.
A very high level Man - Machine interface has been developed thanks to the dimensions of the display and the high
performance of the microprocessor, allowing for complete, clear, intuitive communication, which can be customised
according to the system requirements. A wide range of interaction with other control systems is also possible, such as
with control systems of mechanically or electronically set diesel engines, gas engines, or latest generation common rail
via CAN SAE J1939 communication.
This manual, together with those of the engine and alternator and all the other documents delivered with the machine,
are an integral part of the “Visa Generating Set” (hereinafter called GENSET).
These are intended to be consulted by all those involved in the life cycle of the machine and must therefore, always be
kept and made accessible to the operator. We therefore recommend each document to be read carefully.
Compliance with all the safety requirements is the customer's responsibility.
The GUARD TOUCH device can be highly customised and therefore, used on various types of systems.
The following types are described in this manual:
- SPM System (the GENSET is used with only manual control)
- SPM with AUTOSTART System (the GENSET is used via remote control with external automatic systems)
- SSB System (the GENSET is used in automatic service for a Mains emergency)
The following extras can be added to such systems:
- Automatic Loading Function of the tank

- Special Functions integrated with the standard functions, on request
The GENSET is a machine intended to be used by duly trained personnel. Errors when installing or using
the machine can seriously damage the user system, the machine itself or injure those involved.
There can be hazardous voltages inside the generating set and the control board even with the GENSET
switched off: do not start-up, perform maintenance, repairs or alterations without specific knowledge or
precise guidelines. All the operations must always be performed in compliance with the safety standards.
Read through this manual, which is attached to the GENSET user instructions. If still in doubt after having
consulted this document or the GENSET user instructions, please contact the authorised GENSET service
centre.

The following rules must be complied with for proper use and in order to fully appreciate the functions of the TOUCH
SCREEN device.
The touch screen display must be cleaned with the GUARD TOUCH device switched off. Hazardous
commands for the operators or the system powered by the GENSET could be activated if cleaned while
the device is switched on.
The following must not be done on the surface of the TOUCH SCREEN:
- do not clean with organic solvents, acids or alkaline solutions;
- do not clean with any chemical substance in general;
- do not touch if your hands are dirty with oily substances, chemicals, glue, powder or abrasive substances;
- do not use sharp objects on the surface; if anything, use special plastic pens, specific for touch screen devices;
- do not go near the surface with cellular phones or appliances that are sources of electromagnetic interference.
The following must be complied with for proper use and to clean the surface of the TOUCH SCREEN:
- only a clean and soft electrostatic cloth is to be used to clean the surface;
- only use a cloth dampened with water, neutral detergent or ethanol.
It is important for the GENSET to be switched off and prevent it from being started up before performing
any maintenance or control on it or the system it is connected to.
1. stop the unit and open the machine switch;
2. set the key to the OFF position and remove it from the control panel;
3. press the Emergency button;
4. wait for the machine to cool down;
5. open the battery cut-off switch (if installed)
6. disconnect any connection to the external network, such as preheating systems, network detection
systems, battery chargers and automatic tank filling systems.
WARNING: Remember that the battery cut-off switch must be opened with the motor stopped and
the GUARD TOUCH device switched off. If this requirement is not complied with, damage could be
caused to the battery charger alternator, such as saved data being lost.
Attention: always make sure that the GCB is in the open OFF/0 position when the GENSET is started up.
Before closing the GCB by setting it to the ON/I position, always make sure there are no automatic systems
connected that could start-up inadvertently and pose a risk for persons or property or maintenance is being
performed on live parts.
The diagrams in this manual are purely indicative and depend on the type of system and configuration you
have purchased.

The AUTO status in an SSB system (Mains failure rescue) allows the
GENSET to be automatically started if a power cut occurs, powers the user
system and shuts down the machine when normal conditions are re-
established.
: the TEST status is only found in an SSB system and is a function

that simulates automatic start-up when a power cut occurs, with the only
difference that the ATS does not switchover (unless there is no power supply).
ATTENTION: before selecting the AUTO or TEST mode, make sure

the GENSET cannot be started inadvertently due to a programming or
connection error.

6.5. Page 4: Diagnostics via CAN-Bus

Common rail motors are equipped with an ECU that continuously monitors the temperatures and pressures of the liquids
and the air via various sensors in the motor, besides controlling the rotation speed and the injection process. If abnormal
operating conditions occur, the ECU signals the status by generating a number of ERROR CODES. Furthermore, if these
conditions are considered hazardous, it can autonomously command the motor to stop in order to prevent damage.
The GUARD TOUCH device is connected to the ECU via the CAN-Bus connection. ERROR CODES (described below in
detail) appear on Page 4 via SAE J1939 communication protocol.
The purpose is to provide a valid support to identifying problems and faults in the motor. The operator can communicate
the ERROR CODE directly to the service centre (which will immediately be able to perform a precise diagnosis and plan
targeted and quick intervention).
Hereunder is the description on how to read the diagnostics.

The SAE Standard identifies the ERROR CODES according to the SPN and FMI classification, where:
- SPN (Suspect Parameter Number): is the numeric code that identifies where the problem signal derives from,
i.e. the cause or the faulty part in the motor that triggered the error code. For example, code 174 indicates that
the fuel temperature probe signals a temperature related problem.
- FMI (Fault Mode Identifier): is a numeric code from 0 to 31, which identifies the severity of the problem signalled
by the SPN. For example, code 17 indicates that the fuel temperature value is slightly low compared to the
normal operating values.
Four "lamps" appear on page 4/5 together with the ERROR CODES, which identify the various severity levels:
 PROTECT: this lamp is used to indicate a fault in the electrical circuit. This generally occurs when the sensor
malfunctions or there are interruptions in the electrical connections.
 AMBER: this lamp is used to indicate that the motor is operating abnormally, however, not major enough to stop
the motor. This signal generally occurs when the temperatures or pressures are slightly above or below the
normal operating conditions.
 RED: this lamp is used to indicate that the motor operating condition is hazardous. The motor is stopped to
prevent damage. The motor is generally stopped when the temperatures or pressures are must higher or lower
than the normal operating conditions.
 MALFUNCTION: this lamp is used to indicate that there is problem related to emissions.

Page 4/5 is only present if the SAE J1939 connection between

the motor and the GUARD TOUCH board is used
Thanks to the SAE1939 communication protocol, the ERROR CODES can provide very precise information, which can
only be interpreted correctly by the service centre of the motor manufacturer.

6.8.2.ALARMS LOG menu

The log of events saved during GENSET operation can be displayed on this page. When certain conditions occur, the
faults are automatically saved in an internal black box, in chronological order and up to a maximum of 2560 events.
The causes that determine the record are:
- stopped by an ALARM.
- WARNING condition.
- GUARD TOUCH switch-on and off.
- change in OPERATING MODE.
- change in the status of the GCB or MCB disconnecting devices.
- activation of the periodic recording.
- By external command
The saved data are displayed in a table that is split into rows and columns, where the rows represent the records and the
columns represent the logged values.
The analysis of these data is particularly useful for service centres, should they have to establish with certainty the
causes of the events when having to identify a fault.

8. GPRS
The features and functions of the GPRS control device are described below.
Attention: In certain conditions, the commands sent by SMS or via the Internet, may not be delivered, or be
delayed , due to problems such as roaming , borders , lack of coverage , holidays , etc.
Attention: sending remote commands could generate risks if persons are near the machine.
Close off the machine and/or system components connected to it that might generate risks in order to
prevent access to unauthorised personnel.
Set up indications that the machine may start up autonomously via remote commands.
Before undertaking inspection and maintenance operations, the machine must be BLOCKED by the
personnel in charge (refer to the GENSET manual).
8.1. Features
The quad-band GSM-GPRS modem is suitable to operate in all frequencies used in various parts of the world.
When the GPRS modem is connected to the GUARD TOUCH, it allows the GENSET to be monitored in the two ways
described below.
Monitoring the GENSET via SMS:

- send up to a maximum of 5 SMS telephone numbers for the following statuses:
 Alarms
 Warnings
 GENSET electrical measurements
 Mains electrical measurements
 motor mechanical measurements
 coordinates of the position in which the GENSET is
- receive the following commands via SMS from the 5 numbers to act directly on the GENSET:
 set the various operating modes
 control the start and stop of the GENSET
 control the ATS
 request an SMS to be sent with information on the GENSET status
 request an SMS to be sent with information on the electrical measurements of the Mains and the
GENSET
A SIM that is only enabled for voice traffic is required to use the functions described above.
Visa S.p.A. 112000000019-001-04 – 16/01/2015

GUARD TOUCH
OPERATOR MANUAL
Monitoring the GENSET via PC:
 send the same information sent via SMS to a maximum of 5 e-mail addresses
 remotely connect to the GENSET via the internet server
A SIM that is enabled for M2M data traffic (Machine to Machine) is required to use the functions described above.
 locally connect via USB using the GUARD TOUCH SOFTWARE

 connect the GPRS modem to a LAN (optional) and access remotely using the GUARD TOUCH
SOFTWARE OR SUPERVISION software
If the GPS module is installed, the coordinates of the GENSET position can also be obtained.
At the time of installation and commissioning, check the correct connection/operation between the GENSET
and your device.
Before the test, verify that no personnel is operating the machine or on the mains connected to it and that the
system is ready to receive the load.
8.2. Monitoring via SMS

Proceed as follows to configure the control of the GENSET via SMS:
8.2.1.Entering phone numbers in the GUARD TOUCH phone book and configuring parameters.
 after having switched on the GUARD TOUCH device, access the “200 General”menu after having entered
the 761 password.
 configure the various parameters of the menu and enter the telephone numbers enabled for control (refer to
the description of the menus below)
 once the parameters are configured, exit from the menu
This allows the various parameters to be entered and the phone book to be saved in the memory of the GT.
8.2.2.Registration of the GUARD TOUCH in the GPRS model
 obtain a SIM for voice traffic (a SIM enabled for data traffic is not required)
 make sure that the GENSET and the GUARD TOUCH card are off
Attention: for the SMS messages to be sent or received via a GPRS modem, the PIN entry on start-up must be disabled
in the SIM (use a mobile phone for the operation; contact the dealer of the telephone service for any relative clarification).
 access the GPRS modem and remove the SIM-holder by pressing the yellow button at the side with a sharp
object
Attention: use a SIM card: Mini – SIM ISO/IEC 7810:2003, ID-000
 place the SIM card inside the housing and reinsert it by following the insertion guides
 switch the GUARD TOUCH on and make sure that the LEDs in the GPRS light up cyclically
 keep the SET button at the front of the GPRS pressed until the yellow and green LEDs light up as follows:

 then release the SET button
This allows the GUARD TOUCH card/s connected in the RS485 bus to be logged in the memory of the GPRS modem
and copy the previously entered phone books.

Examples of Weekly Test programming.

The "Weekly Start" function is only active in the AUT status and has the task of forcing GENSET start-up according to the set times, even if the automatic cycle does not require it.
Example a) 1st start-up Monday from 10:30 and shutdown at 12:10, 2nd start-up on the same day at 16:15 and shutdown 22:30
- set parameter 601 in “Weekly”
- set parameter 611.01 to 10.30
- set parameter 611.02 to 12:10
Configured so, the GENSET is activated in two separate moments every Monday of the year.
Example b) 1st start-up Tuesday from 10:30 and shutdown Wednesday at 12:10
- set parameter 601 in weekly
st nd
Notes: up to a maximum of two start-ups and two shutdowns per day can be set in one or more days of the week. If only one daily test is set, the 1 or the 2 can be chosen
indistinctly; the important thing is that the start and stop values of the disabled test are set to 00:00. The function is only active in the AUT. In order to prevent start-ups at
unwanted times, it is best to make sure that all the unused intervals are set to 00:00.
Examples of Weekly Stop programming.

The "Weekly stop" function is only active in the AUT status and has the task of preventing the GENSET from starting up automatically, even if the other automatic functions require
it.

Example a) 1 forced stop Monday from 10:30 to 12:10, 2 stop on the same day from 16:15 to 22:30
- set parameter 620 in “Enable”
Configured so, the GENSET remains stopped in two periods every Monday.
Example b) 1st forced stop Tuesday from 10:30 to Wednesday at 12:10

- set parameter 620 in “Enable”

Messages regarding the WARNING and ALARM states.
Messages relative to WARNING statuses are preceded by “W”, while those relative to ALARMS are preceded by“A”.
The messages regarding the WARNING and ALARM categories are intended to provide specific and detailed information
to identify the causes of the malfunctions. The ATTENTION messages are generated by an abnormal operating
condition, which does not compromise safety. The ALARM messages are a consequence of the GENSET stopping,
generated by a serious problem. The “HELP” button opens a window in which more details are provided regarding the
messages. The most important messages are listed below.
Message Meaning How to intervene

Messages generated from operational checks and analogue input sensors
The WARNING and ALARM message texts are always preceded by the “W” or “A” initials, that indicate which
category it is from and from the univocal message code.
