General Information  
H-100 Control Panel Technical Manual  
INTRODUCTION  
PANEL SETUP  
The H-100 Control Panel is an electronic control box  
that functions as an advanced standby generator  
controller. Its technology is based on the flagship PM-  
DCP system with all its flexibility included. A familiar  
user interface in the form of GenLink®-DCP is used  
to program, monitor and change the parameters in  
the unit. The interface appears the same as it does  
for the PM-DCP.  
CHANGING THE CONTROLLER  
CONFIGURATION  
The H-100 Control Panel controller is setup in the  
factory to match the product it is shipped with and  
generally no changes are required. For spares pur-  
poses the controller can be re-configured in the field  
using the GenLink software tool and a PC.  
Specialized programs are built into the H-100 Control  
Panel to allow customers to configure spare I/O to  
their own needs. For example, built in Integrated  
Logic Controller (ILC) logic can eliminate the need  
for ancillary external controllers. Everything can be  
user customized from measurements to alarms to  
the screen displays.  
If you need to change the function of the panel the  
best way to get a basic setup for a product is to use  
GenLink to download a “product file”. This will setup  
all the basic parameters and just leave customization  
and calibration to be done. Product files are available  
on the web site for downloading cross referenced to  
product serial numbers/generic product types. The  
manufacturer does not recommend changing the  
settings individually for a product as this is labori-  
ous and prone to human error. Some of the settings  
require detailed knowledge of things like governor  
settings which are not easily discernable.  
Why do we do this? Having one set of control firm-  
ware buys us the economy of scale which can be  
passed on to the customer. It also has great technical  
advantages. The H-100 Control Panel and all PM-DCP  
products are built around a common “core” of firm-  
ware. This provides EVERY product with the same  
technical tools. For example, both the H-100 Control  
Panel and PM-DCP products can call out for assis-  
tance via a modem, every product can provide trend-  
ing data for its measured parameters, any measured  
value can be setup to create alarms or warnings, each  
product has a built in ILC, etc. H-100 Control Panel  
is very flexible.  
Some configurations are changeable from the H-100  
Control Panel touch pad and displays. These configu-  
rations will be described later and include:  
• Setting Display Contrast  
• Setting System Time and Date  
• Setting up/Enabling Internal Exercise  
• Enabling Interface with Generac Commercial  
Transfer Switch (HTS)  
FEATURES  
• Local/remote connection to a PC for GenLink®-  
DCP communication.  
CUSTOMIZATION  
• Interface with up to four Generac Commercial  
The controller is designed to be very flexible and  
allow great levels of customization via the GenLink  
tool. Once you have customized your controller, you  
should save the settings away to floppy or hard disk  
for backup. This can be done during the customiza-  
tion process, or at any time subsequent to customiza-  
tion by uploading the settings from the controller to  
GenLink and then saving them to disk. The digital  
outputs can be set to turn on from any one of a list  
of functions, or they can be used as part of the built-  
in ILC. The digital inputs can be moved, inverted,  
renamed, given delay times, made alarms, used  
in the ILC, logged/not logged, etc. Refer to the sec-  
tion “MEASUREMENT ENGINE” for details. Analog  
inputs are dealt with in the same section.

ANALOG MATHS  
THE MEASUREMENT "ENGINE"  
The measurement “engine” is the key feature of the  
system. All the inputs to the controller are processed  
by this module. Each physical input is measured and  
the result processed by an individual set of rules that  
are set via a PC and GenLink. Normally, a product  
is delivered with the inputs and outputs pre-con-  
figured and nothing needs to be done, however the  
manufacturer has provided complete flexibility to  
each measurement (except where product safety is  
concerned). The inputs are divided into analog and  
digital channels.  
Each of the 23 channels is processed by a set of mea-  
suring rules using constants that are set via GenLink.  
Usually these constants can be changed by the cus-  
tomer. In the following illustration, the measurement  
is represented by M and the GenLink constants are  
in italics. The measurement is processed in the fol-  
lowing order and the result is then stored for cus-  
tomer display or use.  
M = M * Calibration Factor  
This is used to calibrate out any reading inaccura-  
cies where calibration factor is a number such that  
1024 is equivalent to 1, so it’s really M * calibration  
factor/ 1024. GenLink will hide this computation so  
you can enter floating point numbers such as 1.1 or  
0.987 etc.  
ANALOG CHANNELS  
There are 23 analog channels of which 14 have fixed  
functions. The remaining 9 channels are split between  
product specific inputs (such as oil temperature),  
and customer spares. The exact split depends on the  
product. Table 1 shows the channel allocation.  
THEN  
Some of the 14 fixed channels are “DERIVED” read-  
ings in that they are calculated from the other read-  
ings. For example, power is calculated from both volt-  
age and current. These are not real hardware chan-  
nels, but they result in an analog reading that can be  
treated as a “fixed channel” just like any other.

Where x can be:  
Setpoints  
1. THERMISTOR  
2. CURRENT  
3. LINEAR  
4. PRESSURE  
5. UNALTERED  
6. POLY_3RD  
There can be up to 4 setpoints to support 2 alarms  
and 2 warnings, of which there can be a maximum of  
2 GT or LT types. The setpoints are in the same units  
that the measurement is displayed in.  
Delay Time  
There are 2 delay fields that can be set with differ-  
ent times in each. Any or none of these times can be  
applied to any of the alarms or warnings via GenLink  
radio buttons.  
7. POLY_2ND  
8. POLY_1ST  
9. POLY_1ST_N1  
10. POLY_1ST_N2  
11. CAL_SCALE  
12. CFM_SENSOR  
13. GEN_FP_POLY  
The function x may use any of the coefficients 1,2,3  
and in some cases will use calibration factor as a 4th  
coefficient (in this case use scaling factor for calibra-  
tion). The coefficients are used to allow adjustment  
of the basic functions to cater for future or alternate  
sensors. They perform different tasks in different  
functions, see APPENDIX A for further details. Note  
that if calibration factor is used as a coefficient, it will  
be shown (and entered) by GenLink as (actual coef-  
ficient/1024).  
For example, a measurement may have to be greater  
than the setpoint for 1 second to cause an alarm, or  
less than another setpoint for 2 seconds to cause a  
warning. The resolution of this time interval is 0.1  
seconds.  
Hysteresis  
Applied hysteresis in display or final units (for exam-  
ple battery voltage is displayed in units of 1/100ths  
of a volt). When an alarm/warning has gone active,  
the hysteresis is subtracted from the GT setpoint or  
added to the LT setpoint to calculate the modified  
setpoint needed to make the alarm go inactive.  
For example, if the coefficient is -378, it will be dis-  
played as -0.36914.  
Shutdown  
When set, this alarm condition (alarms only, not  
warnings) has been selected to shutdown the engine.  
THEN  
M =M * Scaling Factor:  
Dialout  
Where scaling factor is a number such that 1024 is  
equivalent to 1, so it’s really M * scaling factor/1024.  
GenLink will hide this computation so you can enter  
floating point numbers such as 2.1 or 0.987 etc.  
When this field is set, the dialout feature is selected.  
If an alarm or warning occurs for this channel the  
processor will automatically call for assistance via  
telephone (if the external modem option is fitted).  
Dialout can be selected either for warnings, alarms,  
neither, or both. There is a predefined and prioritized  
list of 10 phone numbers that will be tried. The con-  
troller expects GenLink to answer the call and log the  
fault. It is possible for the customer to program any  
Modbus device with a modem to respond to the call.  
ANALOG ALARMS  
Each of the 23 channels is processed by a set of  
alarm rules using constants that are set via GenLink.  
Usually these constants can be changed by the  
customer. Note that all alarms will be entered into  
the alarm log and will operate the audible alarm.  
Warnings will operate the audible alarm also, and will  
be put in the alarm log. The following list shows the  
alarm properties.  
Active When  
You can select other criteria to determine when  
alarms and warnings become active. This is further  
divided in that you can define these criteria indepen-  
dently for LT and GT alarm types.  
Types  
This section is used to turn alarms and warnings on  
or off and define if the input must be greater than a  
value (GT) or less than a value (LT). There can be up  
to 2 alarms and 2 warnings, of which there can be a  
maximum of 2 GT or LT types.  
ALWAYS ENABLED = This alarm or warning is  
always enabled under every circumstance.  
HOLD OFF = Alarms/Warnings with this qualifica-  
tion only become active after a programmable hold  
off time has been met. The hold off timer starts after  
the engine has started. Stopping the engine cancels  
the hold off timer.

H-100 Control Panel Technical Manual  
IMMEDIATE = Alarms/Warnings with this qualifica-  
tion only become active immediately after the engine  
has started.  
OUTPUT FUNCTIONS  
Output functions are flags that are set/reset by the  
internal program to indicate a certain status, for  
example “Engine Running”. The Measurement Engine  
allows these flags to be treated as “channels” that can  
be made into alarms/warnings, display messages,  
operate real outputs and also be fed as inputs to the  
ILC. For example, use the “Ready To Start” output  
function to operate a relay by mapping it to a physical  
output via GenLink, or you could feed it into the ILC  
to do combinatorial logic.  
Sensor Failure Check  
When this field is set, the input sensor is checked  
for short circuit or open circuit failure. Normally  
each of the inputs are conditioned externally to be 4-  
20mA current loops. Any currents outside this range  
indicate a sensor failure. This will cause an alarm to  
occur. The alarm can be selected to shut down the  
engine if so desired via the next field. The alarm will  
be entered in the alarm log.  
See TABLE OF OUTPUT FUNCTIONS in appendix  
B.  
Shutdown on Sensor Failure  
SPARE ANALOG CHANNELS  
When this field is set, the engine will shut down if  
there is a sensor failure. If the field is unchecked, the  
failure will just cause an alarm message to appear  
and the audible alarm to sound. The alarm will be  
entered in the alarm log.  
Depending upon the particular configuration of your  
product, the following input channels may be avail-  
able for custom measurements:

When set, the channel measurement is compared to  
the setpoint with either the GT or LT options. Once  
the condition is met (eg measurement GT setpoint)  
the event is logged along with a date/time stamp into  
the volatile memory based event log. Six other param-  
eters that can be chosen by the customer will also be  
logged. Volatile means that when power is removed  
from the unit, the memory will be lost.

• Preheat Enable — The following four options are  
selectable (only for Diesel):  
- Preheat disabled.  
ENGINE MANAGEMENT  
The engine management module is very similar to  
that used in the manufacturer's other products. It  
controls engine cranking, engine starting, engine  
running and engine stopping. These functions are  
performed to a set of “rules” that can be customized  
via parameters from GenLink. In turn, the module  
needs to know certain things about the engine which  
it expects to be programmed in from GenLink.  
- Preheat during cranking.  
- Preheat before and during cranking.  
- Preheat before and during cranking and until  
load ready.  
The Preheat output pin shares its function with the  
Air/Fuel Solenoid output. You must choose one of  
the two functions as follows:  
GENERATOR PARAMETERS  
- To select Air/Fuel - set the “Diesel” parameter on  
the governor settings page to “No”. Set Preheat to  
“Disabled”  
- To select Preheat - set the “Diesel Y/N” param-  
eter on the governor settings page to “Yes”. Set  
Preheat to one of the enable selections.  
• Engine Cooldown Time — The generator will run  
for at least this time after remote start becomes  
inactive.  
• Engine Flywheel Teeth — Number of flywheel teeth  
or pulses per revolution for RPM input. RPM 1 is  
used for the engine controllers.  
• CT Ratio/Generator — Current Transformer ratio  
for the generator. This value is the result from  
reducing the CT ratio. E.G. If the CT ratio is  
100 amps to 5 amps, the resulting value is 20.  
Normally, the CT ratio will be x amps to 1 amp on

actuator. The following types are available:  
- POWERFLOW — Barber Coleman Powerflow,  
voltage driven without position feedback  
VOLTAGE REGULATOR (OPTION)  
All panels include automatic voltage regulation as  
standard. There are various settings that can be  
made to the voltage regulator via GenLink. The set-

alternator.  
• VF Corner 1 / 2. — These are used for v/f control  
to reduce the output voltage when a large load is  
applied that slows down the generator. If the fre-  
quency drops below these setpoints, the voltage  
is reduced proportionally as the frequency drops  
according to the Volts per Hertz ratio.  
• Panel Type — Indicates the panel type that the H-  
100 Control Panel has been programmed to be. It  
will normally be H-100.  
• Actuator Offset — Number corresponding to lowest  
actuator position (Close Throttle).  
Volts per Hertz — Number of volts to reduce the  
generator voltage for each hertz below VF Corner  
1 frequency.  
• Actuator Fullscale — Number corresponding to  
highest actuator position (Open Throttle).  
• Actuator Normal Start Position — The position  
the actuator will be parked at from start up until  
the “Start detection RPM” is reached. If “soft start”  
is enabled, this is also the maximum position of  
the throttle until the Target Frequency - 3 Hz is  
reached. Therefore, if “soft start” is enabled, the  
actuator start position MUST be high enough to  
reach, Target Frequency - 3 Hz.  
• Actuator QuietTest® Start Position — The position  
the actuator will be parked at from start up until  
the “Start detection RPM” is reached. If “soft start”  
is enabled, this is also the maximum position of the  
throttle until the QuietTest® Target Frequency - 3  
Hz is reached. Therefore, if “soft start” is enabled,  
the actuator start position MUST be high enough  
to reach, QuietTest® Target Frequency - 3 Hz.  
• Soft Start Time — The time to stay at each soft  
start step before moving on to the next step. ( Only  
applies if soft start is enabled ).  
• Soft Start Frequency — An entry of 0 Hz disables  
soft start. Any other value enables soft start which  
ramps up the generator frequency at a rate deter-  
mined by “Soft Start Time” to minimize smoke.  
This value selects the first frequency to target after  
start up. Once this frequency is attained, the gen-  
erator will hold this frequency for the “Soft Start  
Time” and then move to the next step. Each step

rithm becomes active.  
REMOTE TRENDING  
GenLink performs remote trending by polling the  
controller for the selected data at the desired rate.  
Up to 8 analog channels can be monitored at a 0.3  
second rate. If a faster rate is desired, reducing the  
number of analog channels monitored will allow for a  
0.1 second rate. The polling rate can be varied from  
0.1 seconds to several hours. GenLink can save the  
data to a file and/or display it as a near real-time  
graph. The file is MS Excel compatible ( CSV format  
). Examples of things you can trend are the generator  
frequency response (in 0.1 second steps) to a block  
load or Generated power over a day.  
• Pwm Counts per ampx10 — Number of PWM  
counts required to drive one tenth of an amp into  
a linear current driven actuator. This only applies  
to the “Linear Current” actuator type.  
• Desynch Offset — Offset of –0.9 to +0.9 Hertz to be  
applied to the target frequency to improve passive  
synchronizing by Automatic Transfer Switches. If  
an in-phase or synchronized transfer is required,  
use this setting to adjust the generator frequency  
to 0.1 Hz above nominal Utility frequency.

H-100 Control Panel Technical Manual  
LOCAL TRENDING  
No Trigger  
The event trigger is ignored and samples are continu-  
Local trending is done inside the controller where up  
to 1000 samples can be stored in memory. GenLink  
provides an interface to select the analog channels to  
be trended, the rate to be sampled at, and optional  
triggers to be used to specify when to sample. Up to 6  
analog channels can be sampled. However, the 1000  
samples are divided by the number of channels. For  
example, there will be 1000 samples of 1 channel or  
only 166 samples of each of 6 channels. The analog  
samples can be sampled at one of three basic polling  
rates: Low Speed, Mid Speed, and High Speed. For  
the Low Speed and Mid Speed modes, there are also  
several settings that can be used to determine when  
to sample. GenLink can save the data to a file and/or  
display it as a snap-shot graph. The file is MS Excel  
compatible ( CSV format ).  
ally being placed into the buffer.  
Pre-Trigger  
Samples are continually being placed into the buffer  
until the event trigger becomes true. Then no more  
samples are placed into the buffer.  
Post-Trigger  
No samples are placed into the buffer until the event  
trigger becomes true. Then samples are placed in the  
buffer until it is full.  
Pre- and Post-Trigger  
Samples are continually being placed in the buffer  
until the event trigger becomes true. This point is  
considered ½ of the buffer. Samples continue to be  
placed into the buffer until it is full.  
GENLINK LOCAL TRENDING SETUP  
When setting up the local trending, verify that the  
Armed” box is unchecked and press Apply”. To  
change the settings with the trending armed may  
result in corrupted data. Select a rate at which to  
take samples.  
Pressing the “View” button will show a graph of  
the samples in the buffer at the time the button is  
pressed. The graph has a “Save” button that allows  
the user to save the data out to a file in a MS Excel  
compatible ( CSV ) format.  
• Low Speed rate samples the processed analog  
channel values at a rate that is able to be set in  
increments of 0.1 seconds.  
• Mid Speed rate is about 2 milliseconds which  
captures the new analog channel value as soon  
as it is processed by the measurement and alarm  
modules.  
• High Speed rate is 0.4 milliseconds and is reserved  
for the raw AC wave forms of generator voltage and  
current.  
There are 6 pull-down boxes that allow the selection of  
up to 6 analog channels. All channel pull-down boxes  
after the first pull-down box with NULL CHANNEL  
selected are ignored. If High Speed is selected, the  
pull-down boxes are not used. Instead, there are 6  
check boxes that can be used to select which voltage  
and current lines are to be trended.  
THE ILC  
The built-in ILC uses simple combinatorial logic to  
generate digital outputs and limited generator con-  
trol. The ILC uses ladder logic for programming,  
and a separate offline programming tool is avail-  
able to generate the ILC programs. These are then  
downloaded via GenLink and are started or stopped  
by means of a checkbox on the GenLink ILC page.  
Once downloaded and started, they will remain active  
unless they are stopped via GenLink, even if power  
is cycled.  
The I/O scan time of the ILC is about 100 ms worst  
case. This means that all inputs and outputs are  
scanned within 100 ms. Also, the ILC processes  
one rung every 5 ms, so 5 rungs will take 25 ms.  
However, this is in parallel with the I/O scan and not  
added to it.  
The “Capture When” pull-down box allows the trend-  
ing to be limited to the engine running or engine being  
stopped. If the “Stop at End of Buffer” box is selected,  
then the trending will start when the “Capture When”  
condition is true and stop when the 1000 samples  
have been taken.  
The offline tool uses graphic symbols to design the  
“rungs” of the ladder logic. The rungs are simple and  
can only have 2 combinatorial elements in them, but  
by the use of “soft contacts” the output of one rung  
can be fed into the input of another to provide more  
combinations. As well as the logical combinations,  
there are also analog comparisons, counters and tim-  
ers available for use in the rungs. As an example this  
allows the following type of logic to be built:  
Any digital or analog channel can be used as an event  
trigger. The event trigger needs to be set up in that  
channel's setup screen. Checking the “Capture Only  
When Trigger is True” box will cause the samples to  
only be taken while the event trigger is true. Checking  
the “Capture on Shutdown Alarm” will cause the sam-  
ples to start upon the setting of a shutdown alarm.  
The event trigger can be used to start sampling, stop  
sampling, or center the sampling by selecting the  
appropriate radio button:  
IF (in automatic) AND (engine running) AND (air  
temperature >25 deg) FOR (20 seconds) THEN  
OPERATE (output 7).

This is a typical second System Diagnostics page.  
It displays ten of the discrete outputs out of the H-  
100 Control Panel. Outputs from the controller are  
generally open collector. This means that they sink  
current through a load and you will NOT see any volt-  
age change on them when they are activated, unless  
they are connected to a load. These outputs can be  
temporarily inverted from this page. Extreme caution  
should be exercised while inverting outputs since it  
can result in operation of starters, fuel solenoids, etc.  
To invert an output, use the arrow buttons to position  
the cursor on the output value to be inverted. Press  
the “ENTER” button. The output will be inverted for  
approximately 2 seconds and then return to normal  
control. Only one output can be inverted at a time and  
leaving the page cancels all output inversions.

The audible alarm will sound when a new alarm  
occurs. It will be silenced when it is acknowledged.  
NOTE:  
Enabling a switch that is not present will result  
in a switch communications warning after a few  
seconds and will switch the display to the Alarms  
page.  
The keyswitch in AUTO position allows the system to  
start automatically, in OFF position prevents the sys-  
tem from operating, and in MANUAL position runs  
the generator for test purposes only.  
The “NOT IN AUTO” LED will flash every second if  
the keyswitch is not in the AUTO position.  
HOME  
Press the “HOME” button while not editing a field.  
The EMERGENCY STOP switch will stop the genera-  
tor and post an alarm.  
THE ALARM LOG  
The alarm log is a permanent (non volatile) store of  
the last 20 alarms that occurred. If power is removed  
from the controller, the log will be retained. When the  
alarm log is full and a new alarm occurs, the oldest  
alarm will be removed to create space for the new  
one.  
This is a typical Home page. The contents of this  
page along with the contents of the default left display  
page (Volts) were selected such that all the normally  
desired data would be available for viewing at once.  
Each alarm is recorded along with a time/date stamp  
and up to 6 optional measurements. Two of the six  
measurements are fixed (via password protection) to  
be coolant temperature and oil pressure.  
LINE 1: Oil Pressure (Analog Channel #3) in pounds  
per square inch followed by Oil Temperature (Analog  
Channel #1) in degrees Fahrenheit.  
The measurements you want to record are selected  
from a pull down list in GenLink using the alarm/  
event log menu, they can be analog inputs, digital  
inputs or output functions. For example you can  
record the generator voltages, frequency and the  
state of the transfer switch when an alarm occurs.  
The alarm log can be viewed via GenLink or the  
left hand front panel display. Alarms are displayed  
by GenLink in chronological order, the most recent  
being at the top of the list.  
LINE 2: Coolant Temperature (Analog Channel #2)  
in degrees Fahrenheit.  
LINE 3: Battery Voltage in Volts DC.  
If any of these signals above are not configured,  
they will display “n/a” for their value such as the Oil  
Temperature shown above.  
LINE 4: Often the Fuel Level Sensor (Analog Channel  
#5) reading in percent. As depicted, Analog Channel  
#5 is not configured – leaving the line blank.  
All alarms/warnings and sensor failures are recorded  
in the alarm log.  
THE CONTROL PANEL  
THE EVENT LOG  
The H-100 Control Panel has some inputs and out-  
puts which have been designated to be connected to a  
standardized control panel. The format of the control  
panel will vary from model to model and not all indi-  
cators may be present, however the following signals  
are always available:  
The event log is similar to the alarm log except that  
the data is stored in temporary memory (volatile) and  
will be lost if power is removed. The event log has  
space to hold up to 20 events. When the event log is  
full and a new event occurs, the oldest event will be  
removed to create space for the new one.

General Information  
H-100 Control Panel Technical Manual  
The event log, as its name implies, is designed to  
store events which are programmable from GenLink.  
Each measurement channel or output function can  
be set as an event along with a setpoint. For example,  
if you set Digital Input #1 (the keyswitch in AUTO  
position) as an event with a setpoint of logical one,  
each time the keyswitch is set in the auto position, an  
event will be logged. Similarly you can set an analog  
event with an analog setpoint and a comparison type.  
For example you can set an event if the oil pressure  
is less than 10 psi or if power output is greater than  
100 kW.  
To set a number of engine run hours, set the  
“installed at” setting to zero then set “End of life”  
to the number of engine hours required.  
• NEVER set the “Installed at” hours to anything  
other than zero.  
A warning is generated when the maintenance cri-  
teria are met. This warning can be cancelled by the  
acknowledge button but will re-occur after 15 min-  
utes. To permanently cancel the warning you must  
reset the maintenance interval. This can only be done  
via GenLink. The audible alarm will NOT sound for  
each 15 minute re-occurrence of the warning after  
the first maintenance warning is acknowledged.  
Each event is recorded along with a time/date stamp  
and up to 6 optional measurements. The measure-  
ments you want to record are selected from a pull  
down list in GenLink using the alarm/event log menu.  
They can be analog inputs, digital inputs or output  
functions. The event log can only be displayed via  
GenLink, it cannot be viewed on the front panel.  
Events are displayed by GenLink in chronological  
order, the most recent being at the top of the list.  
The front panel display will show the percentage of  
life left for each possible maintenance item.  
AIR/FUEL RATIO CONTROL (OPTION)  
With the addition of an oxygen sensor and a solenoid  
to control the air fuel mix, the H-100 Control Panel  
can perform air/fuel ratio control to provide an opti-  
mum (stochiometric) mix to reduce emissions. This  
feature can be turned on or off via GenLink. The air  
fuel solenoid output pin shares its function with the  
preheat output. You must choose one of the two func-  
tions as follows:  
MAINTENANCE SETTINGS  
The controller provides a mechanism to generate  
multiple warnings based on maintenance intervals.  
Normally it will be shipped with these warnings  
turned off. GenLink is used to enable these warn-  
ings by setting a maintenance interval for the alarm  
of choice. The interval can be in engine run hours,  
a specific engine run hour, number of operations, a  
specific date or a combination of two of these meth-  
ods. For example you can set the interval associated  
with oil life to 6 months or 100 engine hours (which-  
ever occurs first). The transfer switch is one example  
of where a number of operations is relevant, spark  
plug life is not.  
To select air/fuel - set the “Diesel y/n” setting on the  
governor page to “No”. Set preheat to “No”  
To select preheat - set the “Diesel y/n” setting on the  
governor page to “Y”. Set preheat to “Y”  
I2T CURRENT MONITORING (OPTION)  
Optionally the H-100 Control Panel can apply pre-  
dictive firmware modeling to give I2T protection for  
the rotor and stator assembly. Based on parameters  
entered into the H-100 Control Panel via GenLink,  
the firmware models the temperature rise and fall  
of the alternator assembly and limits operation to  
prevent it being damaged. The entered parameters  
basically describe the thermal properties of each  
alternator to the firmware. GenLink allows you to  
choose the alternator model, and this automatically  
downloads the appropriate parameters. The H-100  
Control Panel will normally be delivered prepro-  
grammed with the appropriate data . GenLink will  
allow you turn this feature on or off as desired. There  
is a GenLink display of the allowable temperature  
limits for the selected alternator (2 limits, one for the  
stator and one for the rotor) and also a display of the  
predicted temperatures.  
To disable a maintenance warning, set the “mainte-  
nance cycle” field to N/A.  
To set a specific date, set the “installed at” setting  
to the current date then set “End of life” to the  
specific date.  
To set a number of operations, set the “installed at”  
setting to zero then set “End of life” to the number  
of operations required.  
To set a specific operation number (say at opera-  
tion 500), set the “installed at” setting to the cur-  
rent number of operations, then set “End of life” to  
the operation number.

H-100 Control Panel Technical Manual  
INTERNAL EXERCISE FUNCTION  
Generators best maintain their readiness by being  
exercised once per week. This prevents the machine  
from stagnating and provides an opportunity to dis-  
cover any maintenance items that may need service  
before the unit is actually needed for emergency  
power. In the past, the generator had to be exercised  
manually or an external exerciser was attached to the  
generator or transfer switch to activate the remote  
start once per week for a period of time long enough  
for the generator to warm up. With the advent of QT  
series of generators, that function was moved into  
the generator controller. This allows the QT series  
generator to have the QuietTest® mode of exercise as  
one of its key features. Normal mode exercise can be  
selected instead which can also exercise a Generac  
Commercial Transfer Switch (HTS) if desired. These  
features are all standard in the PowerManager® H-  
100 controller, but require setup by the installer or  
end user. The internal exercise can be set up using  
GenLink or by using the front panel displays. This  
section describes the procedures needed to perform  
this setup.  
The QuietTest® mode and Normal mode of exercise  
run the generator for approximately 20 minutes  
starting at a preset day and time once per week when  
the key switch is in the AUTO position and internal  
exercise is enabled. If the Normal exercise is used  
with the option to exercise an HTS selected, the  
exercise duration may vary based on the HTS set-  
tings. QuietTest® cannot exercise the HTS since the  
lower generator frequency and voltage used to reduce  
noise levels is incompatible with the standard system  
loads.  
Click on ”Select Exercise” to enable internal exercise  
and allow the changing of the other exercise param-  
eters.  
If the generator is needed for emergency power while  
exercise is running, exercise will be terminated auto-  
matically and the system will change to providing  
emergency power.  
NOTE:  
If “transfer on exercise” is selected with an HTS  
that is not a “Closed Transition Transfer Switch”,  
there will be a momentary (possibly several sec-  
onds) interruption in power to the load when  
switching from Utility to Emergency power and  
when switching back. For this reason, “transfer on  
exercise” is normally not selected.

TRANSFER SWITCH (HTS)  
The H-100 Control Panel can control up to four HTSs  
via the RS-485 communications port. The H-100  
Control Panel is shipped without the HTS control  
enabled. If the user has an HTS in their system, they  
must enable the HTS via GenLink or the front panel.  
If the HTS is not enabled, the generator will not  
operate automatically with loss of utility. If the H-100  
Control Panel enables a non-existent HTS, there will  
be a warning indicated.  
The lower left corner contains the HTS number. Use  
the “Prev” and “Next” buttons to select the appro-  
priate switch number - 1 through 4. If enabling the  
switch, check the “Switch Connected” check box  
in the middle of the screen. If disabling the switch,  
uncheck the “Switch Connected” check box. The  
remainder of the settings on this page are described  
in the HTS manual.  
NOTE:  
Non-HTS switches use the two-wire start inter-  
face and do not need enabling by H-100 Control  
Panel.

General Information  
H-100 Control Panel Technical Manual  
In an H-100 Control Panel system with HTS switches,  
the annunciator will indicate Line Power or Generator  
Power based on the status reported from the selected  
HTS. The selected HTS is the HTS number that was  
selected using the H-100 control front panel. The  
number is selected on either of the Exercise/HTS  
pages (3-4) or (4-4). The two designated H-100 con-  
trol panel inputs Input #7 and Input #8 are free to  
be used for other functions and will not affect the  
annunciator as long as at least one HTS is connected  
and enabled.  
For this example, HTS number 1 is now enabled. If  
HTS #1 is not connected or if the HTS is not #1,  
there will be a communications error indicated.  
NEW GENERATION GENLINK (NGG)  
An all new version of GenLink has been released  
for support of the H-100 Control Panel. It uses the  
industry standard Modbus protocol for communica-  
tions and acts as a Modbus master. GenLink runs  
on PC platforms running Windows 98 (but will not  
support future Internet applications), Windows NT  
4.0, Windows 200 and XP. We recommend an Intel  
Pentium 4 processor (1.0gHz+) with a minimum  
64MB memory and 20GB hard drive. plus 56k  
Zonet PCMCIA based modem. For details about  
GenLink, refer to the New Generation GenLink man-  
ual. Addtional features include:  
COMMUNICATIONS  
There are 2 ports on the H-100 Control Panel, an  
RS-232 port and an RS-485. Each port can be recon-  
figured as to its function, however there can only be  
one master Modbus port. All ports can have their  
baud rate, parity and stop bits changed. For Modbus  
ports, the address can also be changed via GenLink,  
but each address in a connected system must be  
unique. Normally the RS-232 port will be configured  
as a Modbus slave to communicate with GenLink and  
the optional Modem. The RS-485 port will act as a  
master for connection to up to two remote annuncia-  
tors/remote relay panels and up to four HTSs. The  
RS-485 port can be reconfigured via GenLink to be a  
deep diagnostic port.  
GENLINK RELAY CONTROL  
There is a “Radio Button” displayed on the main  
GenLink display screen. This button will set or reset  
output function 106 which in turn can be made to  
drive a relay or any combination of things (via the  
ILC). The function can be renamed and this new  
name will appear above the radio button.  
REMOTE ANNUNCIATOR CONNECTION  
(OPTION)  
The H-100 Control panel RS-485 port is normally  
configured as Modbus Master, 4800 baud, no parity,  
and two stop bits. This is the required configuration  
for the remote annunciator. However, the remote  
annunciator is often shipped configured as a Modbus  
Master (active mode). A wire jumper must be added  
in the remote annunciator to configure it as the  
Modbus Slave (passive mode). A total of up to two  
remote annunciators and remote relay panels can be  
attached to the RS-485 bus. See the remote annun-  
ciator/relay panel manual for details.  
SET ENGINE HOURS  
In the event that a controller has to be replaced, the  
engine hours on the new controller can be set to  
match the controller it is replacing. This can only be  
done at the factory.

In an H-100 Control Panel system without HTS  
switches, the annunciator will indicate Line Power or  
Generator Power based on two designated H-100 con-  
trol panel spare inputs Input #7 (Also labeled DI3)  
and Input #8 (Also labeled DI4). These inputs can be  
used for other functions as desired, but will always  
operate the annunciator lights. Input #7 should be  
connected to Line Power indication. Input #8 should  
be connected to Generator Power indication.

APPENDIX A — ANALOG FUNCTIONS  
The User Configurable Analog Inputs have several  
parameters that affect the value interpreted from  
the A/D reading. In general, the following equation  
determines the final User Configurable Analog Input  
result:  
Third order polynomial with 4 coefficients and a scal-  
ing factor  
X = raw_analog  
(AX3 + BX2 + CX + D) * S  
Where:  
Result = Scale (Function (Calibrate (Raw A/D read-  
ing)))  
For functions that require 4 coefficients for a polyno-  
mial, the calibration factor has to be incorporated in  
the polynomial coefficients. In this case, the follow-  
ing equation determines the final User Configurable  
Analog Input result:  
A, B, C, D are polynomial coefficients  
S is the scaling factor  
Coefficient 3 = A * 10243  
Coefficient 2 = B * 10242  
Coefficient 1 = C * 1024  
Calibration = D  
Result = Scale (Function (Raw A/D reading))  
The RMS Analog Inputs have a calibration parameter  
and a scaling parameter that affect the value inter-  
preted from the A/D reading. The following equation  
determines the final RMS Analog Input result:  
Scaling  
= S * 1024  
POLY_2ND:  
Second order polynomial with 3 coefficients, a scal-  
ing factor, and a calibration factor  
Result = Scale (Calibrate (RMS Function (Raw A/D  
reading)))  
X = M * raw_analog  
(AX2 + BX + C) * S  
Where:  
Although the calibration and scaling adjustments  
exist for the remaining Analog Inputs (i.e. derived  
channels), it is unlikely they will be used. The  
remaining Analog Inputs are derived from other ana-  
log inputs that have already been adjusted. If further  
adjustment is needed, then the following equation  
determines the final Analog Input result:  
M is the calibration factor  
A, B, C are polynomial coefficients  
S is the scaling factor  
Calibration = M * 1024  
Coefficient 3 = A * 10242  
Coefficient 2 = B * 1024  
Coefficient 1 = C  
Result = Scale (Calibrate (RMS Function (Raw A/D  
reading)))  
These derived inputs have more complex interactions  
with the hardware, so care should be taken if adjust-  
ments are used.  
Scaling  
LINEAR:  
POLY_1ST:  
= S * 1024  
The conversion functions are described below. One of  
these functions is a 16 bit floating point polynomial  
- GEN_FP_POLY. This function should only be used  
as an extreme last resort as it is processor time inten-  
sive. The other integer polynomial functions should  
be sufficient for converting the A/D input data.  
First order polynomial with 2 coefficients, a scaling  
factor, and a calibration factor  
X = M * raw_analog  
(AX + B) * S  
Where:  
The coefficients for the conversion functions need to  
be adjusted for working in the A/D counts realm as  
opposed to the voltage realm. Multiply A/D reading  
voltage by 1023/5 to convert to A/D reading counts.  
Also, the coefficient scaling is in powers of 2 to  
expedite processing of math operations using shifts  
instead of multiply and divide. The following types  
of Analog Input functions are implemented in the  
firmware.  
M is the calibration factor  
A, B are polynomial coefficients  
S is the scaling factor  
Calibration = M * 1024  
Coefficient 2 = A * 1024  
Coefficient 1 = B  
Scaling  
= S * 1024

First order polynomial with 3 coefficients, a scaling  
factor, and a calibration factor  
X = M * raw_analog  
(A + BX + CX-1) * S
