Horn
An output contact configured (through programmable logic) to energize a horn
can be enabled and
disabled through BESTCOMSPlus or at the DGC-2020 front panel.
Single-Phase Override
The DGC-2020 will switch to single-phase voltage sensing
when a contact input (programmed as a
single-phase override input) is received. Either A-to-B or A-to-C sensing can be selected.
Fuel Level Function
This setting
allows the selection of four fuel types: Fuel Lvl, Natural Gas, Liquid Propane, or Disabled.
Selecting a fuel type other than Fuel Lvl will disable any fuel level indication, alarm, and pre-alarm and
disable the Fuel Level value on the Engine screen of the Metering Explorer in BESTCOMSPlus.
BESTCOMSPlus system settings (DGC-2020, System Parameters, System Settings) are illustrated in
Figure 4-15.

Crank Settings
The DGC-2020 can be programmed for either cycle or continuous engine cranking
. Cycle cranking
provides multiple engine starting attempts
. Each starting attempt consists of a fixed interval of engine
cranking
followed by a rest interval of the same duration. Continuous cranking
provides a single,
extended engine-starting attempt.
The DGC-2020 uses the engine speed signal (supplied by a magnetic pickup (MPU) or the generator
frequency) and the Crank Disconnect Limit setting
to detect engine startup (and determine when engine
cranking can be stopped). The Crank Disconnect Limit setting is expressed as a percentage of the
nominal engine speed.
