Capstone Turbine Corporation MicroTurbine Userís Manual System Sleep in Stand Alone Mode Capstone Reducing battery draw to near zero during prolonged periods of non-use can extend the MicroTurbine battery charge significantly. This is called Sleep Mode. Sleep Mode is automatic, but the time of inactivity can be adjusted. Refer to the Display Panel section on Auto Sleep mode to adjust this timer. If the battery isolation switch is set to ON, and the display panel is dark, the system is most likely in Sleep Mode. In Sleep Mode, the battery pack needs to be recharged periodically. Refer to the section on Battery Maintenance for more data on recharging the Battery. Waking a Stand Alone MicroTurbine If the Stand Alone system is in Sleep Mode, pressing the BATT START button at the far left of the Display Panel (for less than or equal to 2 seconds) will wake it up. If communicating with the MicroTurbine remotely using a modem connected to the User Interface Port, the modem ring indicator will wake up a sleeping Stand Alone system. Alternately, momentarily closing the battery start contacts in the communication bay will wake up the system. This must be a momentary closure of 0.1 to 2.0 seconds only, as permanent closure of these contacts will completely discharge the battery. Your Capstone Authorized Service Provider should make this electrical connection. Starting a Stand Alone System The MicroTurbine system in Stand Alone operation must be commanded to start. Even if the system is configured for automatic operation, an initial start command is required to enable the automatic mode. If the Auto Restart feature is enabled, the ON command is stored by the system even through a loss of system power. To start the system from the display panel, press and hold the INTERLOCK button, and then press the START button. (If your MicroTurbine has been configured with a remote start/stop switch, simply set the switch to Start or On to start the system.) Enabling Stand Alone Power Output To enable power output, first start the MicroTurbine, and wait for the engine to warm up and for the base battery state of charge to reach at least 60%. A Not Ready to Load message is displayed. Press and hold the INTERLOCK button, and then press the ENABLE button. CAUTION Permanent closure of the battery start contacts (in the following paragraph) will completely discharge the battery. Therefore, the battery start contacts may only be closed for a period of 0.1 to 2.0 seconds. NOTE The Enable command can be issued at any time. The system will transition to power output when battery voltage and state of charge are ready. The Auto Load dispatch mode will automatically issue the Enable command when the system is ready to support the connected loads. Stand Alone System Power Level In Stand Alone mode, the MicroTurbine system will produce (up to its capacity) whatever current is necessary to maintain the commanded voltage and frequency. The output power is determined by the connected load(s). Page 34 of 52 400001-001 Rev A (July 2002) This information is proprietary to Capstone Turbine Corporation.
