The EGCP-2 Operator Interface is designed for simplicity and redundancy of function in all operating modes. Two backlit Liquid Crystal Display screens are used to display various operating and status information to the operator, as well as for tuning set points. The backlight on the LCD screens will stay on whenever the engine speed is above 50 rpm. When the engine is not running, the backlight will turn on whenever any key is pressed on the front panel. The backlight will turn off after 5 minutes of non-use, when the engine is not running. Additionally, in the event of a drop in supply voltage where the monitored battery voltage drops below 9.0 Vdc, the LCD back light will shut off to conserve power.
The unit’s front panel screens provide eight lines of Status Information, with the option of displaying four lines of configuration or Alarm Log information. These screens allow the user to monitor and tune related parameters at the same time.A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) on the face of the control is used to indicate an alarm condition by flashing repeatedly, and to indicate a shutdown condition by staying on continuously.
ALARM/EVENT LOG KEYS:
The ALARM/EVENT key is used to access the Event log. When pressed, the current alarm events will be displayed on the right hand LCD screen. When multiple alarms are logged, the up and down scroll keys will allow you to navigate within the Event log. The Event log will store up to 16 events, as more events happen the oldest alarms will be dropped off to make room for the newer events. If power is cycled to the control, the Event log will be cleared.The ALARM CLEAR key is used to acknowledge and clear alarm events from the Event log. To acknowledge and clear alarm and shutdown events a Security Code of Operator Level or higher is needed.
