The DATAKOM DKG-105 is a robust, microprocessor-based Automatic Mains Failure (AMF) controller designed for reliable, unattended control of backup generator sets. As a core component in generator control panels, it provides seamless automatic start/stop functionality during power outages, ensuring continuous electrical supply for critical and non-critical applications.
Built with durability and user-friendly operation in mind, the DKG-105 is ideal for a wide range of standby power systems, from commercial and industrial installations to telecommunications, healthcare facilities, and residential complexes.
Key Features & Benefits:
-
Fully Automatic Operation: Monitors the mains (utility) supply voltage and frequency. Upon detecting a failure, it automatically initiates a start sequence for the generator, transfers the load, and reverses the process when mains power is restored.
-
Advanced Microprocessor Control: Offers precise timing, logic, and system monitoring for reliable performance and protection of both the generator and connected loads.
-
Comprehensive Protection & Monitoring: Features built-in protection for:
-
Mains Failure & Restoration
-
Under/Over Voltage & Frequency (for both mains and generator)
-
Engine Monitoring: Includes alarms for low oil pressure, high coolant temperature, overspeed, and pre-alert warnings.
-
-
Intuitive User Interface: Equipped with a clear LCD or LED display and membrane keypad for easy configuration, real-time parameter viewing, and access to fault history logs.
-
Flexible Configuration: Programmable timers (crank, cool-down, warm-up), number of start attempts, and sensitivity thresholds allow customization for specific generator models and site requirements.
-
Modular & Durable Design: Housed in a compact, rugged enclosure suitable for integration into generator canopies or external control panels. Known for high resistance to electrical noise and harsh environments.
-
Communication Ready: Many variants offer optional communication modules (e.g., RS-232/485, modem) for remote monitoring and integration into Building Management Systems (BMS) or SCADA systems.
Technical Specifications:
-
Supply Voltage: Compatible with common DC (12/24V) and AC voltages for panel operation.
-
Input Monitoring: 1-phase or 3-phase mains and generator voltage sensing.
-
Engine Start Output: Dry contact relay for starter motor activation.
-
Fuel Solenoid Control: Relay output for controlling the fuel shut-off valve.
-
Load Transfer: Commands for Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) control via changeover relays (Mains -> Gen -> Mains).
-
Sensor Inputs: Dedicated inputs for safety shutdowns (oil pressure, coolant temp, etc.) from engine sensors.
-
Alarm Indicators: Visual and relay outputs for warnings, shutdowns, and system status.
Typical Applications:
-
Standby Generator Sets for buildings, factories, and data centers.
-
Telecommunications Base Stations
-
Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants
-
Hospitals and Emergency Services
-
Agricultural and Mining Facilities
-
Retail and Office Complexes
