        • Automatic crank and rest cycles with over-crank protection.
        • Configurable warm-up and cool-down periods to extend engine life.
      • Comprehensive Monitoring:
        • Engine Parameters: Oil pressure, engine temperature, fuel level, battery voltage, run hours, RPM, service alarms.
        • Generator Electrical Parameters: 3-phase AC voltage (L-L, L-N), current (A), frequency (Hz), active power (kW), reactive power (kVAR), apparent power (kVA), power factor (PF), energy accumulation (kWh).
        • Mains (Utility) Monitoring: 3-phase AC voltage (L-L, L-N), frequency (Hz) for automatic transfer switch (ATS) applications.
      • Advanced Engine & Generator Protection:
        • Engine Faults: Low oil pressure, high engine temperature, low fuel, overspeed/underspeed, battery over/under voltage, maintenance alarms.
        • Generator Electrical Faults: Over/under voltage, over/under frequency, overcurrent, overload, short circuit, phase sequence error, reverse power.
        • Audible alarm and visual indication for all faults.
      • Intuitive User Interface (HMI):
        • High-Resolution LCD Display: Clear, back-lit graphic display showing all critical parameters, alarms, and event logs.
        • Tactile Push Buttons: Easy navigation and manual control (start, stop, reset, menu).
        • LED Status Indicators: Quick visual reference for generator status (running, stopped, fault, auto mode).
      • Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) Integration:
        • Seamless control of external ATS for automatic power switching between utility and generator.
        • Configurable transfer delays and re-transfer logic to prevent power surges.
        • Utility monitoring for automatic generator start on mains failure and stop on mains return.
      • Remote Monitoring & Communication:
        • RS-485 (Modbus RTU): For integration with SCADA systems, BMS, or remote telemetry units.
        • Ethernet (Optional - Modbus TCP/IP, SNMP): Enables remote access via web browser, email notifications for alarms, and integration into IP-based networks.
        • USB Port: For local configuration, firmware updates, and data download via PC software.
      • Event Logging & Diagnostics:
        • Stores detailed logs of events, alarms, and operational data with time and date stamps.
        • Facilitates troubleshooting, performance analysis, and predictive maintenance.
      • Programmable Inputs/Outputs:
        • Multiple configurable digital and analog inputs for custom sensors (e.g., water level, smoke detection, pressure transducers).
        • Configurable relay outputs for external controls (e.g., fuel pump, fan, siren).
      • Robust & Durable Design:
        • Industrial-grade components for reliable operation in harsh environments.
        • Rugged metal enclosure with various NEMA/IP ratings available (e.g., IP65/NEMA 4X for outdoor, IP30/NEMA 1 for indoor).
        • Wide operating temperature range.
      • Multi-Language Support: User-selectable interface languages.
