Capstone Turbine Corporation • 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA 91311 • USA Technical Reference: Grid Connect Operation – Capstone Models C30 and C60/C65 Configuring the Dispatch Modes Changing any default dispatch mode requires a password. The user password is “87712370”. Viewing existing dispatch mode settings do not require password entry. Dispatch modes take advantage of the special capabilities and features designed into the Grid Connect mode for providing power. The MicroTurbine can be configured to operate in Manual or External mode. Manual mode is the default. External mode allows the MicroTurbine to be operated via electrical contacts. Manual Dispatch (Default) The Manual dispatch is the default mode for a newly shipped MicroTurbine. Manual dispatch mode allows the MicroTurbine to be commanded ON/OFF manually and then commanded to an output power level. This requested output power can be retained in non-volatile EEPROM memory for an indefinite period and applied at the next MicroTurbine start-up if the value is entered through the display panel or through the RS-232 command PWRDST. • CRMS: Select: Settings > User Connection Bay Settings, and set the Start Input slider to User Start Priority (Mode 0). To set the power demand value for the current session only, navigate to the main menu, and enter the value in the “kW Demand” field. To enter a power demand value to be retained on next start-up, select Settings > Control Settings, and enter a value in the “Stored Power Demand” field. • Display panel: Select the Manual Dispatch mode as follows: System Data > System Configuration > Start Input, and select the “User” option.
