CAUTION
Installation errors
Read this document before working with the AGC 150 controller. Failure to do this may result in human injury or damage
to the equipment.
Intended users of the operator's manual

OPERATOR'S MANUAL 4189341312A EN Page 3 of 25
1.3 Warnings and safety
Factory settings
The controller is delivered pre-programmed from the factory with a set of default settings. These settings are based on typical values
and may not be correct for your system. You must therefore check all parameters before using the controller.
Data security
To minimise the risk of data security breaches:
• As far as possible, avoid exposing controllers and controller networks to public networks and the Internet.
• Use additional security layers like a VPN for remote access, and install firewall mechanisms.
• Restrict access to authorised persons.
1.4 Legal information
Third party equipment
DEIF takes no responsibility for the installation or operation of any third party equipment, including the genset. Contact the genset
company if you have any doubt about how to install or operate the genset.
Warranty
NOTICE
Warranty
The controller is not to be opened by unauthorised personnel. If opened anyway, the warranty will be lost.

2. Getting started
2.1 About controller operation
The AGC 150 Generator controller contains all the functions needed to protect and control a genset, and the genset breaker. If you
do not use power management, the controller can also protect and control the mains breaker.
The AGC 150 Mains controller protects and controls a mains breaker, and a tie breaker.
The AGC 150 BTB controller protects and controls a bus tie breaker. The power management system manages the busbar sections.
Power management system
AGC 150 controllers can work together in a power management system (PMS). This includes synchronisation, island operation, and
running parallel to mains. The PMS can automatically start and stop gensets, and open and close breakers. You can also use AGC
150 in power management systems with other DEIF controllers.
Buttons and LEDs
Use the buttons to operate the system. You can change running modes, stop alarms, see the shortcut menu, and navigate the
controller. You can only use the start and stop buttons and the buttons to open and close the breakers in SEMI-AUTO mode and
manual mode. Use the mimic function to select how the control buttons and LEDs are shown on the controller's display.
Display screen
Use the display screen to:
• See the operating status
• See the alarms and logs list
• Monitor the exhaust after-treatment (Tier 4/Stage V)
• Configure the controller settings and parameters

Example: The controller is in SEMI-AUTO mode. The genset is not
operating. The only possible action is to start the genset, and so only
the start button and the red motor/generator symbols are shown.

3.3 Running modes
The AGC 150 Generator controller has four running modes, and a test mode. To configure the running mode push the Shortcut
button and select Running Modes. Configure the test mode in Settings > Power set points > Test. To run the test push
the Shortcut button and select Start Test.
Mode Description
AUTO
The controller automatically starts and stops (and connects and disconnects) the genset. The operator cannot start
a sequence manually. The controllers use the power management configuration to automatically select the power
management action.
SEMI-AUTO
The controller cannot automatically start, stop, connect and disconnect the genset. The operator or an external
signal can start these sequences. The controller automatically synchronises before closing a breaker, and
automatically de-loads before opening a breaker.
MANUAL The operator can use the digital increase/decrease inputs (if they are configured) and the Start and Stop buttons.
When the genset starts in manual mode, it starts without subsequent regulation.
BLOCK The controller cannot start a sequence. Select the block mode when you do maintenance work on the genset.
Test The test sequence starts when you select the test mode.
NOTE The genset shuts down if you select the block mode while the genset is operating.
3.4 Exhaust after-treatment (Tier 4/Stage V)
