Introduction to the topic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Note:<\/strong> Since this function is new, it is not jet available with every generator. Check in each individual case whether the function can be used with your generator.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n

In service mode you can start the generator without power electronics. This may be necessary, for example, in case of service work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service mode must be activated in the service menu of the \u00bbfpControl Control Panel – Generator\u00ab (fpControl CP-G<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the service mode is active, the parameter overview page shows a tool symbol next to a caution symbol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The generator can then be started with the start \/ stop button of the Control Panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caution symbol and tool symbol are still displayed during operation in service mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The monitoring of error events of the diesel engine (RPM, oil pressure, engine temperature and DM01) is also active in the service mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Note:<\/strong> Error events of the power electronics are excluded from the error monitoring in the service mode, since the necessary measuring devices are missing.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Note:<\/strong> For normal operation of the generator with connected power electronics, the service mode must be deactivated in the service menu of the Control Panel to prevent unintentional use.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n

The service mode is automatically deactivated after a power cycle of the \u00bbfpControl Generator Control – Servo\u00ab (fpControl GC-S\u00ab)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Software Requirements <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  • \u00bbfpControl Generator Control – Servo\u00ab (fpControl GC-S): expected in 0V20 or higher<\/strong> <\/li>
  • \u00bbfpControl Control Panel – Generator\u00ab (fpControl CP-G): 5V08RC11 or higher<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Activating \/ deactivating the Service Mode <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"
    The service mode may only be used by authorized specialist personnel.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n

    The service mode can be activated \/ deactivated using the control panel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Function call<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

    Panel menu: service > service-mode > turn on \/ off<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step by step guide<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
    • Open menu \u00bbservice\u00ab.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      • Enter the service password.<\/li>
      • Select \u00bbservice mode\u00ab<\/strong> and confirm.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        • Select \u00bbon\u00ab<\/strong> to activate<\/strong> \/ \u00bboff\u00ab<\/strong> to deactivate<\/strong> the service mode and confirm. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
          • Result:<\/strong> The service mode of the fpControl is activated \/ deactivated. In case of activation the parameter overview page of the Control Panel shows a tool symbol next to a caution sign.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
