●● Genset Operational Mode: Force the present operational mode of genset, commanded by the eSite
control system. Options are Auto, Forced On or Forced Off.
GRID
●● Grid Max Fuse - Maximum Grid Phase Current.
●● Grid System - 1-phase or 3-phase
BATTERY
●● Reset Battery Total Throughput - Reset the total amount of energy that has passed through the
battery bank. This should ONLY be done when the entire battery bank has been replaced.
●● Start a Full Charge Cycle - Starting a full charge cycle will make the genset run continuously for at
least 6 hours. Only do this after consulting Flexenclsoure.
●● Select Battery Type - Enter battery type installed in the eSite cabinet.
●● Start an Extended Full Charge Cycle - Starting an extended full charge cycle will make the genset
run continuously for approximately 24 hours. Only do this after consulting Flexenclosure.
DRY CONTACTS
●● On - Will trigger the relay
●● Auto - Will return control of the relay back to the eSite control system
SHUTDOWN/RESTART
●● Reboot system - This will reboot the system (restart Diriflex)
●● Shutdown system - This will shutdown the system (Diriflex). Shutdown system will NOT disconnect
the load and the batteries will be discharged if Diriflex is left in the shutdown position.
NOTE If Shutdown System is done remote the system cannot be started remote again.
●● Factory reset - This will reset and reboot the system. NOTE! If this is done the applicable calibration
files needs to be uploaded again.
Never reboot eSite to clear alarms, the alarms might go away but the issue is not solved! Alarms will clear
itself when the issue is solved.
DC Genset failed to run
This alarm is trigged if eSite is unable to start or run the genset. This will be set mainly from two different
faults.
1. When the genset can’t be started. This may occur when there is a fault present at the genset.
2. When the genset is stopped from an event that is without eSite control, for example empty fuel tank,
shutoff form genset panel or a genset fault.
If eSite is in auto mode eSite will try to start genset with 30 min interval.
The alarm will clear itself when eSite has taken control over the genset again.
DC Genset power failure alarm
The genset is able to run but is not able to run at higher speed than idle speed and therefore will not be able
to produce any power. If this failure occurs, and eSite is in 'Auto', genset will be commanded off.
If eSite is set to 'ForcedOn', the alarm will be set, but eSite won’t shut off the genset.
The alarm will clear itself once the genset is able to run faster than idle speed.
DC Genset Speed request warning
This alarm is trigged if the genset is not able to run at the requested rpm. It might still be able to produce
power but is running with degraded performance.
Genset will continue to run until it is commanded off from eSite.
The alarm will clear itself when the measured speed is corresponding to the actual speed again.
