erator voltage, current and frequency displayed in a classic gauge package. It’s a great additional benefit provided that wasn’t available previously.”

“Even with the graphic display capability, a lot of people still want to be able to look at a gauge and where a needle is pointing,” added Bill Earls, ComAp’s vice president of sales and marketing. “We’ve had only one customer say that we could get rid of the gauges and they’d just use the display.”

Another added feature of the InteliLite NT is a real-time clock and event history logging function that can record up to 119 separate events. “For rental fleets of standby gen-sets, this is really valuable,” said Lecuyer. “A person could come back after running the generator at 110%, 24/7, haul it back to the rental yard and say ‘it broke.’

“But now the rental operator can go in and look at the actual event data log history and see how it was operated. They’ll be able to really know

when they need to pay a warranty claim and when there’s been abuse.

“We didn’t have that capability with the earlier controller and we had some customers using a paralleling control even in a standby application because they wanted that data logging capability. Now they can do that in the same price package that they had previously with a standby controller.”

The controller comes with ComAp’s LiteEdit PC software, which is designed to allow the user to easily configure the inputs and outputs to suit the specific application requirements. “It allows you to change inputs and outputs, change them from standard to metric, or add limits, underlimits, alarms shutdowns, warnings — whatever you want,” said Earls. “Whatever they want to edit, whatever the particular verbiage they want to use — you can have fault codes in plain language and it has multiple language capability — they can do it.”

CONTROLS

The controller unit is 7.08 in. wide and 4. 72 in. long and can be mounted on the gen-set or remotely. It incorporates a sealed front face with a hard plexiglass LCD cover. Operating temperature range is -40º to 158ºF.

Remote control and monitoring is possible via optional plug-in USB or RS232 module for connection to a GSM modem or Internet Bridge.

The InteliLite NT controller is UL/ ULC recognized and NFPA110 compliant, the company said. It went into production in late summer. dp
