INSTALLATION GUIDE
WARNING
Remote control
The controller can be remotely controlled. In the event that maintenance needs to be done to the gen-set,
check the following to ensure that the engine cannot be started.
To be sure:
Disconnect remote control via RS232 or another communication line
Disconnect input REMOTE START/STOP
or
Disconnect output STARTER and outputs GCB CLOSE/OPEN and MCB CLOSE/OPEN.
Be aware the unqualified manipulation can disconnect the object from the power supply source.
The controller contains a large number of configurable setpoints, because of this it is impossible to describe
all applications. Controller functions are subject to change from SW version to SW version. This manual only
describes the product and is not guaranteed to be set for your application on arrival.
!!! WRONG ADJUSTMENT OF BASIC PARAMETERS CAN DESTROY THE GEN-SET !!!
Be aware that the MCB can be switched off and gen-set can start !!!
Switch controller to MAN mode and disconnect the Binary outputs Starter and Fuel or press
EMERGENCY STOP button to avoid unexpected automatic start of gen-set and GCB closing during any
work or maintenance on the gen-set or switchboard.
Conformity declaration
Following described machine complies with the appropriate basic safety and health
requirement of the EC Low Voltage Directive No: 73/23 / EEC and EC
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 89/336 / EEC based on its design and type,
as brought into circulation by us.

Dongle overview
Dongle Function
No dongle for Single parallel to mains is required.
IGS-NT-LSM+PMS Dongle for multiple applications MINT with Load sharing, Var sharing
and Power management function
IGS-NT-miniCHP Enlarges the set of PLC functions for simple CHP applications (for
IG-NT and IG-EE controller types)

and IG-EE controller types)
See chapter Dongle installation to learn how to place the dongle into the controller.
Safety requirements
Additional, independent safety and protection devices are necessary to meet safety requirements of Rules
and Regulations of Marine Classification Societies. The sensors and circuits utilized for the second stage
alarm and automatic shutdown are to be independent of those required for the first stage alarm (LR
Rulefinder 2008 - V9.10).
The project designer is responsible to follow Marine regulations in project design wiring and InteliGen-NT or
InteliSys-NT controller configuration and setpoint setting.
Usually is necessary to use additional, independent equipment for Emergency stop, Overspeed, Low oil
pressure and Overcurrent protection.
Oil mist and engine bearing temperature monitoring are to be provided when arrangements are fitted to
override the automatic shutdown for excessive reduction of the lubrication oil pressure (or for engines above
2250 kW). The Overriding of this protection is to be independent.
The maximal wire length for Binary (Analog) inputs and outputs should be less than 10 meters, otherwise the
separation relay or additional protection has to be used.
Power supply
To have full Surge protection ±2kV for controller power supply terminals the external component
(e.g. two DK4/35 U S14 K60 from Weidmueller for DIN rail) has to be connected.
IG-NT or IS-NT

The I-LBA (low battery adaptor) module is to be used when power supply voltage dip up to 200ms is
required. The up to 100ms supply voltage dip is acceptable by IG-NT or IS-NT controller itself.
Default configuration
Use the default IG-MINT-Marine-2.3.ant or IS-MINT-Marine-2.3.ant (or higher) to avoid incorrect system
setting and configuration.
Default configuration can be modified using the GenConfig-2.3 (or higher) PC tool. Please take care of
following items that are included in default configuration file:
- The function "Virtual Peripheries" shall not be used for marine application.
Override function
The “Sd override” (Shut-down override) function is included in default configuration on Binary input BI7.
Active Override is indicated by a " ! " mark on the display and on Binary output BO4 Common SdOvr.
The default Override function blocks all protections except the Overspeed, Emergency stop and all Analog or
Binary protections configured as SD Override.
It is strongly recommended to modify names of such values to begin or finish with letters SDO – e.g.
WaterTemp SDO.
Use internal PLC function when the independent override protection e.g. for Bearing temperature is required.

IGS-PTM
IGS-PTM is I/O extension module with 8 binary I/O, four analog inputs configurable for range:
• 0 – 250 Ω (suitable for Pt100, Ni100, VDO pressure, VDO level),
• 0 – 100 mV (suitable for thermocouples),
• 0 – 20 mA.
and one analog output configurable for range
• 0 to 20 mA.
Hint:
The 0-100 mV inputs are only suitable for thermocouples galvanically separated from the frame – “isolated”
type. For non-isolated type thermocouples use IS-AIN8 module.
The 0-250Ω input is not possible to use for Pt1000, Ni1000 and VDO Temp sensors due to measurement
range < 250Ω.

has not standard J1939 communication (MTU, CAT etc.). Engine values (RPM, Oil pressure and other) are
received from ECU via CAN and corresponding sensors are not needed on controller. Use ICBEdit software
for I-CB configuration (included in installation package).

(default 1) must be set on module (by Adr.1 and Adr.2 jumpers) and in controller configuration.
Communication fail is indicated in controller Alarm list and by binary output. Use GenConfig PC tool for
controller configuration.
It is possible to connect up to four I-AOUT8 units to one controller. Unit is 35 mm DIN rail mounted. CAN1
terminating 120 ohm resistor jumper is connected in default. AGND terminals are on the same potential.

Hint:
The I-LBA unit is intended to supply one controller unit only at the same time.
It is not recommended to use +PWR BOUT outputs on thecontroller as a source for relays, as their
consumption would exhaust I-LBA capacitors very fast.
It is also not recommended to supply any kind of above controllers with LT (Low Temperature) display
because of the high current consumption of the LT display.

Wiring
General
Tightening torque, allowable wire size and type, for the Field-Wiring Terminals:
For Mains(Bus) Voltage and Generator Voltage terminals
Specified tightening torque is 0,56Nm (5,0 In-lb)
Use only diameter 2,0-0,5mm (12-24AWG) conductor, rated for 90°C minimum.
Power supply
To ensure proper function:
Use power supply cable min. 2,5mm2
Use fuse 1 amps for IG-EE, IG-EEC, IG-NT, IG-NTC
2 amps for IS-NT
Maximal continuous DC power supply voltage is 36VDC. See chapter Technical data.
Hint:
Switchboard lightning strikes protection according standard regulation is expected !!!
The maximum allowable current through the controller negative terminal is 3 to 8A (depends on controller
type and binary output load).
For more extension units use separate fusing according to the table above.
Controller power supply should never be connected to starter terminals.
For the connections with 12VDC power supply an I-LBA module can be connected to controller power
terminals in order to allow the controller to continue operation during cranking if the battery voltage dip
occurs. In this case, it is not recommended to use +PWR BOUT outputs on the controller as a source for
relays, as their consumption would exhaust I-LBA capacitors very fast.

Grounding
To ensure proper function:
The shortest possible piece of wire should be used for controller grounding.
Use cable min. 2,5mm2
Brass M4x10 screw with star washer securing ring type grounding terminal shall be used.
Magnetic pick-up
To ensure proper function:
Use a shielded cable
Controller indicates "Sd Underspeed" + "Pickup fault" after engine start when the pickup signal is good for
start and low speed but too strong for higher speed (loss of signal due to RPM input saturation).
Increase gap between pickup and engine flywheel or change pickup type.
Hint:
If RPM is measured from the generator voltage (Gear teeth = 0), controller can detect RPM on no running
gen-set when:
• Controller generator voltage terminals are opened (e.g. due to opening of fuse switch)
• Non zero RPM causes controller “Not ready” state and engine start is blocked.
