Power reliability is an important requirement in modern farm houses and rural settings where generators are frequently employed as a backup power source. Managing generator operation efficiently and safely is critical, especially when installations are dispersed throughout larger sites. Wireless remote generator controllers play an essential role in providing automated operation, remote access, and extensive monitoring. Selfguard's Generator Controller with Wireless Remote, available in single-phase and three-phase configurations, is intended to suit these operational requirements.
Automatic Generator Operation
One of the key features of Selfguard generator controllers is automatic start/stop. When the mains power goes off, the controller automatically starts the generator and stops it when it comes back on. This function provides constant power availability without the need for user intervention. Automatic operation aids in the maintenance of regular generator performance in rural and farm house contexts with frequent power fluctuations.
Wireless Remote Control Functionality
Selfguard generator controllers are supplied with a wireless remote that allows users to start and stop the generator from a distance of up to 300 feet. This remote operation capability is particularly useful in setups where the generator is installed away from the main building. The wireless remote also allows users to change operating modes between Auto and Manual, providing additional control flexibility.
Manual Control Options
In addition to automatic and remote operation, the controller allows for manual start and stop directly from the main unit. This allows operators to manage the generator locally as needed. With many control choices, generator operation stays flexible and adaptive to changing operating conditions.
Detailed LCD Display for Monitoring
Both the single-phase and three-phase controllers feature an LCD display that provides clear and real-time information about generator performance. The display shows:
- Generator voltage
- Frequency
- RPM
- Current (amps)
- Battery voltage
- Run time
- Service due indication
- Fuel level indication
- Mains voltage status
This level of monitoring is valuable in rural installations, where keeping track of generator health and performance is essential for reliable operation.
Built-In Safety Warnings and Fault Indications
Selfguard generator controllers are equipped with multiple warnings and fault indications. These include:
- Over-voltage and under-voltage
- Over-frequency and under-frequency
- Overload conditions
- Low oil pressure warnings
- Temperature warnings
All faults and warnings are displayed clearly on the LCD screen, helping users identify issues promptly and ensuring safe generator operation.
Support for Different Power Configurations
Selfguard offers two variants of wireless remote generator controllers:
- Single-phase controller, suitable for single-phase generator systems
- Three-phase controller, designed for larger installations and capable of supporting generators up to 250 KVA
The three-phase controller is available in both 12V and 24V configurations, allowing compatibility with different generator battery systems commonly used in rural and farm house installations.
Easy Configuration and Maintenance Tracking
All controller settings can be changed via the menu system on the display, eliminating the need for additional tools or software. The controller also tracks generator run time and sends service due warnings, allowing users to properly manage maintenance plans.
Conclusion
Wireless remote generator controllers are key tools for managing generator operations in modern farm houses and rural settings. Selfguard's Generator Controllers provide a complete generator control solution by combining automated start and stop, wireless remote operation, manual control options, extensive monitoring, and built-in safety features. These controllers, which are available in both single-phase and three-phase variants, are designed to support a wide range of generator capacities while providing reliable and controlled power management.
