General information

1. General information
1.1 Warnings, legal information and safety
1.1.1 Warnings and notes
Throughout this document, a number of warnings and notes with helpful user information will be presented.
To ensure that these are noticed, they will be highlighted as follows in order to separate them from the general text.
Warnings
Warnings indicate a potentially dangerous situation, which could result in death, personal injury or damaged equipment, if certain guidelines are not followed.
Notes
Notes provide general information, which will be helpful for the reader to bear in mind.

1.1.2 Legal information and disclaimer

DEIF takes no responsibility for installation or operation of the generator set. If there is any doubt about how
to install or operate the engine/generator controlled by the Multi-line 2 unit, the company responsible for the
installation or the operation of the set must be contacted.
The Multi-line 2 unit is not to be opened by unauthorised personnel. If opened anyway, the warranty will be lost.
Disclaimer
DEIF A/S reserves the right to change any of the contents of this document without prior notice.

1.1.3 Safety issues

Installing and operating the Multi-line 2 unit may imply work with dangerous currents and voltages. Therefore,
the installation should only be carried out by authorised personnel who understand the risks involved in working with live electrical equipment.
Be aware of the hazardous live currents and voltages. Do not touch any AC measurement inputs as this could lead to injury or death.

1.1.4 Electrostatic discharge awareness

Sufficient care must be taken to protect the terminal against static discharges during the installation. Once the
unit is installed and connected, these precautions are no longer necessary.

1.1.5 Factory settings

The Multi-line 2 unit is delivered from factory with certain factory settings. These are based on average values
and are not necessarily the correct settings for matching the engine/generator set in question. Precautions
must be taken to check the settings before running the engine/generator set.

General information

1.2 About the installation instructions

1.2.1 General purpose
These Installation Instructions mainly include general product and hardware information, mounting instructions, terminal strip descriptions, I/O lists and wiring descriptions.
The general purpose of this document is to give the user important information to be used in the installation of
the unit.
Please make sure to read this document before starting to work with the Multi-line 2 unit and
the gen-set to be controlled. Failure to do this could result in human injury or damage to the
equipment.

1.2.2 Intended users

These Installation Instructions are mainly intended for the person responsible for the design and installation.
In most cases, this would be a panel builder designer. Naturally, other users might also find useful information
in the document.

1.2.3 Contents and overall structure

This document is divided into chapters, and in order to make the structure simple and easy to use, each
chapter will begin from the top of a new page.

General product information

2. General product information

2.1 AGC-4 product information
2.1.1 Introduction
The AGC is part of the DEIF Multi-line 2 product family. Multi-line 2 is a complete range of multi-function generator protection and control products integrating all the functions you need into one compact and attractive
solution.
The concept of the AGC is to offer a cost-effective solution to genset builders, who need a flexible generator
protection and control unit for medium to large genset applications. Being part of the Multi-line product family,
the standard functions can be supplemented with a variety of optional functions.

2.1.2 Type of product

The Automatic Genset Controller is a micro-processor based control unit containing all necessary functions
for protection and control of a genset.
It contains all necessary 3-phase measuring circuits, and all values and alarms are presented on the LCD
display.

2.1.3 Options
The Multi-line 2 product range consists of different basic versions, which can be supplemented with the flexible options needed to provide the optimum solution. The options cover e.g. various protections for generator,
busbar and mains, voltage/VAr/PF control, various outputs, power management, serial communication, additional operator display etc.

5.1 AC connections
The Multi-line 2 unit can be wired up in 1-phase, 2-phase or 3-phase configuration.
Contact the switchboard manufacturer for accurate information about required wiring for the
specific application.

5.1.1 Neutral line (N)

When three-phase distribution systems are used, the neutral line (N) is only necessary if it is a three-phase +
neutral system. If the distribution system is a three-phase system without neutral, then leave the terminals 84
and 88 empty.

5.1.2 Current transformer grounding

The current transformer ground connection can be made on s1 or s2 connection, whichever is preferred.

5.1.3 Fuses
If the cables are protected with fuses, then use 2 A, slow blow.

Normally, the Modbus does not need bias resistors (end terminators). These are only needed
in case of very long lines and/or many nodes (>32) on the Modbus network. If bias resistors
