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.
x1 x2 (double click)
OPERATIONAL MODES
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 ignore all external request to request the unit previously programmed
(i.e., Timer, ATS signal, etc..).
11
Likewise, the activation of the mains and genset contactors is carried out by pushing RED/MAINS
and GRUPO/GEN buttons.
The activation of the genset contactor will be possible only if the engine is running and providing 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.

2.3. INTERRUMPTION OF MODES.
By pushing Auto and Man buttons for 5 seconds, BLOCK mode is activated. This mode is indicated
in the control panel by the blinking of the "mode button" which is active.
To disable the block and let the normal working of the control panel, the "active mode" button must
be pushed for 5 seconds.

3. WORKING MODE
- Pick up frequency. The engine would be considered started (running) when the pick up frequency
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. 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.
15
Low oil pressure. 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"opcion 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 before attempting a new start. The Start failure alarm will be raised after a specified number
of attempts without detecting any starting condition.
In the starting cycle, the excitation of the battery charger alternator is activated temporarily through
the D+ output. 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.
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
).

START OPERATING PROCESS. PRACTICAL EXAMPLE.
NOTE: Before initiating the starting cycle, it is advisable that the general genset magnetothermic
be switched (OFF).
OPERATING: When 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 (its LED lights) ( ). 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).

3.2. ENGINE STOP.
The stop engine process in the automatic-mode is done according to the following process:
Engine cooling down: Once all loads are disconnected, the engine will continue to run for some
time during the cooling time. Under particular situations the alarms of the controller may be
programmed 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:
- Generator voltage. The engine would be considered stopped when the generator voltage is lower
than its starting threshold.
- Alternator voltage: The engine would be considered stopped when the battery charger alternator
voltage is lower than is starting threshold.
- Pick up frequency. The engine would be considered stopped when the pick up frequency is lower
than its starting threshold. To activate the pick up calculation through the engine ring gear, the
number of teeth of the gear must be introduced. 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.
- Low oil pressure. The condition of low oil pressure considers the engine stopped when it detects
that the sensor is closed. Exception for this "Engine Start Detection"opcion is SCANIA engines
and also the sensors which have self - electrical supply.
WORKING MODE
All the programmed stopping conditions must be present for an interval of time to consider the
engine as stopped. If after ten seconds it has not detected any of the engine stop conditions, the
stop failure alarm will be activated.
19
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 a cool down period.
2- Manual: Press STOP button twice. 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 senders engine cooling
process. The STOP button will light (1); once the cooling time is over (60 by default), 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).
WORKING MODE
(1) (2) 20
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 will light
(1).
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 (2).
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

3.3. TRANSFER FUEL PUMP.
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. Once the transfer pump option is activated,
its operation modes are as follows:
Inhibited mode: the transfer pump is blocked from operation.
Manual mode: the transfer pump is operated by pressing the diesel transfer button, provided
that the fuel level is under the maximum threshold parameters.
Automatic mode: the transfer pump becomes operative
- According to the minimum activation parameters, under which the relay BT is
actived/energised.
- According to the maximun deactivation parameters, over which the relay BT is deactivated
/des energised.
Control board mode: the transfer pump operation is carried out as follows:
- When the controller is in automatic or test-mode, the transfer pump is operated automatically.
- When the controller is manual-mode, the transfer pump operation is carried out in manual
mode.
- When the controller is in a blocked-mode, the transfer pump operation is inhibited.

4. 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.
The LED of the RESET button lights 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:
* A L A R M * E N 1 / 3

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 water temperature.
3. To solve the alarm problem: In this example the temperature of the engine must be reduced when
the engine stops. Check the water 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.
