Capstone Turbine Corporation MicroTurbine User’s Manual Capstone 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. 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). Disabling Stand Alone Power Output To disable power output, press and hold the INTERLOCK button, and then press the DISABLE button. All power output will immediately cease, but the system will continue operating with fuel. Stopping a Stand Alone System The MicroTurbine system can be stopped at any time. To stop the system from the display panel, press and hold the INTERLOCK button, and then press the STOP button. (If your MicroTurbine has been configured with a remote start/stop switch, simply set the switch to Stop or Off to stop the system.) A system OFF command first disables power output. The system then charges the battery, which can take up to 20 minutes. Finally, the turbine shutdown process includes a cool down period, which can last up to 10 minutes. Page 36 of 56 400001-001 Rev.
