1. Introduction
1.1 About the operator's manual

1.1.1 General purpose
The general purpose of this document is to give the operator important information to be used in the daily operation of the controller.
DANGER!
Read this document before working with the AGC 150 controller. Failure to do this may result in human injury or damage to
the equipment.
1.1.2 Intended users of the Operator's manual
The Operator's manual is primarily intended for the operator that performs daily operations with the controller.
The manual includes an overview of the LEDs, push-buttons and screens on the controller, as well as general operator tasks,
alarms, and logs.

1.2 Warnings and safety

1.2.1 Factory settings
The controller is delivered pre-programmed from the factory with a set of default settings. These settings are based on typical values
and may not be correct for your system. You must therefore check all parameters before using the controller.
1.2.2 Data security
To minimise the risk of data security breaches DEIF recommends to:

• As far as possible, avoid exposing controllers and controller networks to public networks and the Internet.
• Use additional security layers like a VPN for remote access, and install firewall mechanisms.
• Restrict access to authorised persons.
1.3 Legal information

1.3.1 Third party equipment
DEIF takes no responsibility for the installation or operation of any third party equipment, including the genset. Contact the genset
company if you have any doubt about how to install or operate the genset.
1.3.2 Warranty
CAUTION
The AGC 150 controller is not to be opened by unauthorised personnel. If opened anyway, the warranty will be lost.
1.3.3 Disclaimer
DEIF A/S reserves the right to change any of the contents of this document without prior notice.
The English version of this document always contains the most recent and up-to-date information about the product. DEIF does not

3. Menu structure
3.1 About display and menu structures

3.1.1 Menu structure
The AGC 150 has two menu systems, which can be used without password entry:
• View menu system: The commonly used menu system, with 20 configurable windows that can be entered with the arrow push-
buttons.
• Setup menu system: The menu system for setting up the controller, and to see detailed information that is not available in the
view menu system.
Changes to the parameter settings are password protected.
3.1.2 The View menu
When AGC 150 is powered up, the View menu appears. It is the daily use menu for the operator, which shows various measured
values. If an alarm is present, the event and alarm list is shown at power-up.

upper right corner:

Generator nom inal U 6004
Voltage: 400V
Menu numbers can also be found in the Utility Software:
1. From the toolbar, select the Parameters page .

2. In View mode, choose the List view.
3. The menu numbers are shown in the Channel column.

AGC 150 has four different running modes and one block mode:
• AUTO: In AUTO mode, the controller will operate automatically, and the operator cannot initiate any sequences manually.
• SEMI-AUTO: In SEMI-AUTO mode, the operator has to initiate all sequences. This can be done via the push-button functions,
Modbus commands or digital inputs. When started in SEMI-AUTO mode, the genset will run at nominal values.
• Test: The test sequence will start when the test mode is selected.
• Manual: When Manual mode is selected, the digital increase/decrease inputs can be used (if they have been configured) as well
as the Start and Stop push-buttons. When starting in Manual mode, the genset will start without any subsequent regulation.
• Block: When the block mode is selected, the controller is not able to initiate any sequences, for example the start sequence.
Block mode must be selected when maintenance work is carried out on the genset.
CAUTION
The genset will shut down if block mode is selected while the genset is running.
