1. Introduction
As the display function for entering and modifying various parameter values and for displaying the
measured values, the handy type Setting device with an LED display (red) (hereafter referred to as
“Setting device”) is provided for the GAC21 System.
The communication between the GAC21 System and the Setting device is performed via the digital I/O
module for the Setting device, which is included in the GAC21 Controller.
However, this communication is only possible when the control-related modules and the digital I/O
module for the Setting device are normal.
In addition to the parameter values, the voltage and power for generators, and the measured value for the
frequency of the bus can be displayed.
The Setting device is normally removed and put in the accommodation pocket (near GAC21 Controller)
on the rear of the door for the common section at the lower part of the generator panel, etc.
2. Operation Part of Setting Device
Fig.3-1 illustrates the operation part of the Setting device.
For using and handling the keys and slide switches, refer to the subsequent items.
The Setting device has two connectors with 1meter connector cable, the one for the power source of 24V
DC for the Setting device and the other for the digital I/O module for the Setting device.
The power source for the Setting device is located near the GAC21 Controller.

4. Function of Key switch and Slid switch

This section describes the functions of the keys and slide switches shown in Fig.3-1, based on data
transmission and reception.

(1) ２ TEN numeric key (0∼9)：

The numeric keys 0~9 are used to enter a 4-digit value or address.
After checking the position, Add. No. (data number indication position) of the slide switch ５ on
the Setting device, enter the data number (ADDRESS) for the setting value with numeric keys and
then transmit it to the Digital I/O module for the Setting device (hereafter referred to as“module
for the setting device”).

(2) １ LED indication：

The data number (ADDRESS) that has been entered with numeric keys and then transmitted will be
sent back to the Setting device and indicated on it.

(3) ４ ENTER Key：

Check the data number (ADDRESS) and press the ENTER key.
If the established data number is transmitted from the Setting device to the module for the setting
device, the module for the setting device searches for the appropriate setting value and then stores
that data.

(4) ５ ６ Slid switches：

If the slide switch ６ on the Setting device is in the Now (current value display position) when it is
changed slide switch ５ from Add to the Value (setting value data display position), the module for
the setting device transmits the stored current value to Setting device, which is then displayed on
the Setting device.
If the slide switch ６ is in the New (changed value display position), enter the changed value on the
Setting device using numeric keys and then transmit it to the module for the setting device.

(5) The module for the setting device returns the transmitted changed value to the Setting device,
which is then displayed on the LED.
Establish the changed value by pressing the ENTER key on the Setting device.
After the changed value has been transmitted to the module for the setting device, the setting
range and the changed value are checked.
If the changed value falls in that range, that changed value is accepted.

(6) ３ C Key（CANCEL）
：
If the entered value falls outside the setting range, an error is generated with“9999”displayed on the
LED of the Setting device.
To enter another value, press the CANCEL key. The displayed“9999”will be cleared.
Enter another changed setting value using numeric keys.
The CANCEL key is used to reset the specified data number (address) or the entered value to be
changed. When this data is reset, the LED on the Setting device simultaneously displays“0000”.

5. Procedure for changing a setting value

Before entering the ADDRESS for a setting value, check the following points:
