Manual and remote start (MRS) system for a single gen-set, commonly operating in locations with no available power from the grid.
Manual and remote start (MRS) systems are typically used to provide prime power where the grid is unavailable. Common locations a prime power system could be found include construction sites, off-grid events, and off-grid telecom towers, among many other situations. Given the nature of the locations MRS controllers are typically placed in, the addition of ComAp’s CM-Ethernet module allows the user to remotely monitor and control the gen-set from virtually anywhere, drastically reducing the high operating costs of bringing in service engineers.
ComAp’s InteliLite MRS16 controller effectively monitors, protects and controls the gen-set and circuit breaker to supply the load. The controller communicates with the engine management unit via a CAN J1939 bus. With the addition of ComAp’s CM-Ethernet plug in module, the user is able to remotely monitor and control the gen-set via the internet, using ComAp’s online tools such as WebSupervisor, drastically reducing the high maintenance costs of running a gen-set.
