1. Product Overview

The SGIVAWRF IGL-RA15 is a remote annunciator controller designed for use with diesel and gasoline engine generators. It provides visual and audible indications of various generator statuses and alarms, allowing for remote monitoring and control of critical functions like horn reset and lamp testing.

2. Setup and Installation

Careful installation is crucial for the proper functioning of the IGL-RA15 controller. Ensure all connections are secure and follow safety guidelines.

2.1 Mounting

Mount the IGL-RA15 on a flat surface within a Type 1 enclosure. Ensure the ambient temperature does not exceed 70°C for optimal performance and longevity.

2.2 Electrical Connections

Refer to the diagram below for proper wiring. The controller requires a power supply of 6-36V DC with a maximum current draw of 0.15A.

Image Description: This image displays the rear panel of the IGL-RA15 controller. It features screw terminals labeled 'POWER' (with positive and negative inputs), 'CAN' (for communication), and 'HORN' (for an external alarm). A label indicates the model number, power requirements (6-36V DC, Max 0.15A), and maximum ambient temperature (70°C). Jumpers for CAN address configuration are also visible.

• Power: Connect the DC power supply (6-36V) to the terminals marked 'POWER'. Observe polarity.
• CAN: Connect the CAN bus communication lines to the 'CAN' terminals.
• Horn: Connect an external horn or alarm device to the 'HORN' terminals.

2.3 CAN Address Configuration

The controller features jumpers for setting the CAN address. Consult the table printed on the device for specific jumper configurations (A, B, ADR) to set the desired address (e.g., OPEN/OPEN for address 1, OPEN/CLOSED for address 2, etc.).

3. Operating Instructions

The front panel of the IGL-RA15 provides visual indicators and control buttons for monitoring and managing generator status.

Image Description: This image shows the front panel of the IGL-RA15 Remote Annunciator. It features a series of rectangular indicator lights arranged in two columns, a 'Status' indicator, and two push buttons labeled 'Horn reset' and 'Lamp test'. The text 'Remote Annunciator RA15' is prominently displayed at the top.

3.1 Indicators

• Status Indicator: A dedicated LED indicates the operational status of the controller. Refer to your generator's main control unit manual for specific status codes.
• Alarm/Status Lights: Multiple rectangular indicators illuminate to display various alarm conditions or operational statuses received from the connected generator controller. Each light corresponds to a specific event.

3.2 Buttons

• Horn Reset: Press this button to silence any active audible alarms from the external horn. The visual indicator for the alarm will remain lit until the underlying condition is resolved.
• Lamp Test: Press and hold this button to illuminate all indicator lights on the panel. This allows for verification that all LEDs are functional.

4. Maintenance

The IGL-RA15 controller is designed for minimal maintenance. Regular inspection and cleaning will help ensure its longevity and reliable operation.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the unit. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the casing and display.
• Connection Check: Periodically inspect all wiring connections to ensure they remain secure and free from corrosion.
• Environmental Conditions: Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified temperature and humidity ranges.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your IGL-RA15 controller, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Power/Indicators Off:
  • Verify the DC power supply (6-36V) is connected correctly and is active.
  • Check the power wiring for loose connections or damage.
• Indicators Not Illuminating During Lamp Test:
  • Ensure the unit is powered.
  • If individual lights fail, contact support for potential repair or replacement.
• Horn Not Resetting:
  • Ensure the 'Horn reset' button is pressed firmly.
  • Verify the external horn is connected correctly and is functional.
  • Note that the horn will only reset if the alarm condition is no longer active or if the main generator controller allows for temporary silencing.
• Incorrect CAN Communication:
  • Check CAN bus wiring for proper connection and continuity.
  • Verify the CAN address jumpers are set correctly according to your system configuration.
