Quick Start Guide

1. About this document

General purpose
This document is the Quick Start Guide for the AGC 200. The document mainly includes general
product information, mounting instructions and wiring descriptions.
The general purpose of this Quick Start Guide is to help the user with the first steps of installing
and using the AGC 200 system.

Please make sure that you also read the Installation Instructions before
starting to work with the Multi-line 2 controller and the gen-set to be
controlled. Failure to do this could result in human injury or damage to the
equipment.

Intended users
This Quick Start Guide is mainly intended for the panel builder in charge. On the basis of this
document, the panel builder designer will give the electrician the information he needs in order to
get started to install the AGC 200. For detailed electrical drawings, the Installation Instructions
must be used.

Contents/overall structure
This document is divided into chapters, and in order to make the structure simple and easy to
use, each chapter will begin from the top of a new page.

2. Warnings and legal information

This chapter includes important information about general legal issues relevant in the handling
of DEIF products. Furthermore, some overall safety precautions will be introduced and
recommended. Finally, the highlighted notes and warnings, which will be used throughout this
document, are presented.

Legal information and responsibility

DEIF takes no responsibility for installation or operation of the generator set. If there is any doubt
about how to install or operate the generator controlled by the unit, the company responsible for
the installation or the operation of the set must be contacted.
The units are not to be opened by unauthorised personnel. If opened anyway, the
warranty will be lost.

Electrostatic discharge awareness

Sufficient care must be taken to protect the terminals against static discharges during the
installation. Once the unit is installed and connected, these precautions are no longer necessary.

Safety issues
Installing the unit implies work with dangerous currents and voltages. Therefore, the installation
of the unit should only be carried out by authorised personnel who understand the risks involved
in the working with live electrical equipment.
Be aware of the hazardous live currents and voltages. Do not touch any AC
measurement inputs as this could lead to injury or death.

Definitions
Throughout this document, a number of notes with helpful user information will be presented. To
ensure that these are noticed, they will be highlighted in order to separate them from the general
text.
Note symbol
The notes provide general information which will be helpful for the reader to
bear in mind.

Warnings
The warnings indicate a potentially dangerous situation which could result in
death, personal injury or damaged equipment, if certain guidelines are not
followed.
