■■ Active, Reactive and apparent
HT-GC315 is designed for electronic engines with CAN interface J1939 protocol and
power measurement even for traditional engines with sensors.
■■ Frequency and power The adjustable parameters of the controller allow the use of this device for standard and
measurement on Mains input customized tasks. Parameters are programmed using the free software tool (BoardPrg),
■■ Engine speed measurement which can be download thorough web site. It’s even possible to set them directly by the
by pick-up or W keyboard of HT-GC315.
■■ 8+3 fully programmable digital The self adjustable graphic display (it automatically changes the contrast, based on
input the temperature) is an user-friendly human interface which is useful for an immediate
■■ Additional current visualization of measures and alarms coming form the genset.
HT-GC315 is able to measure the Mains frequency and compute the power and energy
measurement for neutral or
even when the load is connected to the Mains. In addition, HT-GC315 is able to measure
differential protection (51N) the Neutral of mains and generator voltage.
■■ RS232 serial port with Thanks to the separated push buttons, one for the MCB (Mains Circuit Breaker) and one
MODBUS RTU protocol for the GCB (Generator Circuit Breaker), it’s easier the control of the genset in manual
■■ USB serial port mode.
■■ RS485 serial port with Events and DTC logs can be accessed from the front panel and read on the display.
MODBUS RTU protocol HT-GC315 is supported by several communications devices/tools for local or remote
■■ Ethernet interface with control.
