GSC200 Genset 

Controller 

Auto Mains Failure 


The GSC200 is an Auto 

Mains (utility) Failure 

Control module that 

provides Autostart 

and a range of engine 

monitoring and 

protection features. The 

GSC200 is designed to 

automatically start the generator when the mains (utility) power fails. 

When the mains (utility) power is restored the unit will transfer the 

load back to the mains (utility) supply and instruct the engine to begin 

the cool down timer. The GSC200 is an ideal controller to mate with a 

no-logic transfer switch for cost sensitive applications (ask about our 

Vigilant ATS without logic). The AMF functions can also be disabled and 

used as a conventional autostart control with a full-logic ATS. 

• Single or 3-Phase utility sensing 

with adjustable Dropout/Pickup. 

• Engine exerciser for 1, 2, 3 or 4 

week intervals (adjustable only 

via front panel buttons). 

• Timers for: Pre-heat, Mid/Postheat, 

Warm-up (Normal to 

Emergency), Cool-down, Time 

Delay Engine Start, and Time 

Delay Emergency to Normal. 

• Built-in Auto/Off /Test switch. 

• Overspeed and Underspeed trips. 

• 2 auxiliary outputs can be setup 

for Common Warning/Shutdown, 

System-in-Auto, Energize-to- 

Stop, Warmup, or Preheat. 

• 2 auxiliary failure/warning inputs. 

• Engine Hour Meter display. 

• Low battery warning. 

• Pluggable Eurostyle terminals. 

• Optional Restart on False 

Attempts. 

Easy-to-Use PC 

Confi guration Software 

• Optional Fuel OFF during crank 

rest.

RA400 Remote Annunciator 

For NFPA110 Applications 

The RA400 remote serial 

annunciator monitors the 

condition of the generator set 

from a remote location when 

it is equipped with a DynaGen 

GSC400Plus Genset Controller. 

If a generator alarm condition 

occurs, the remote annunciator 

alerts the operator through lamps 

and an audible alarm. 

• Connects via 3-wire Modbus 

to the GSC400Plus genset 

controller up to 2800 ft. 

• 20 Lamp Indicator for Warnings, 

Status, and Failures.

& CSA 282-00 compliant. 

• 2 User configurable lamps with 

writable surfaces. 

• Extra switched inputs for System 

Enable/Disable and Genset Start/ 

Stop. 

• Audible Alarm. 

• Modbus RTU serial connection. 

• Surface or flush-mounted. Also 

fits in a standard 203 mm x 203 

mm (8 in. x 8 in.) Hoffman box.

GSC400Plus Companion Products – DynaLink Remote Monitoring 

18 

DynaLink Remote Genset Monitoring 

The DynaLink genset monitoring system allows you to monitor and 

control generator sets over LAN, Internet, telephone modem, or wireless 

cellular connections. The system contains built-in features such as an 

alarm handler (SMS, Email and SNMP), data logger (with trend graphs) 

and a built-in web server for monitoring and control. 

The DynaLink WS100 module connects to the Internet via its builtin 

Ethernet port to a GSC400Plus Genset Controller at a facility. The 

DynaLink system makes the data 

available in an internal web server that 

can be accessed by the user using a 

standard web browser, like Internet 

Explorer. This makes it possible 

for the user to instantly read 

any parameter available from 

a remote location. Optionally, 

a PSTN dial-up modem 

can be connected to the 

WS100 to provide access via 

conventional telephone lines. 

The WS200 module adds 

the additional capability 

of using its built-in quad 

band GSM/GPRS cellular 

modem with any standard 

SIM card for remote or 

mobile gensets without 

Internet. It also supports 

an external GPS receiver 

which makes it possible to 

use it for applications where the 

geographical position is important, such as 

rental fleets.

transfer switch control functions 

with simplicity, fl exibility, and 

durability. 

Features include: 

• Powered from genset battery for 

isolation against line transients. 

• Integrated voltage and frequency 

sensing. 

• Adjustable transfer delays using 

on-board potentiometers. 

• Fused remote start contact 

relays.

Conformally Coated 

Every VTSC controller board is 

thoroughly conformally coated 

to create an eff ective barrier 

against moisture, fungus and other 

contaminants that can cause: 

• Short circuits. 

• Corrosion of conductors and 

solder joints. 

• Electrical leakage between 

circuits. 

• Mechanical stress of components. 

• Loss of insulation protection.

Galvanized Corrosion Protection 

Standard on all Vigilant 

Enclosures 

The Vigilant enclosure is made from 

duplex coated, galvanized G90 grade 

steel and meets American Society 

for Testing and Materials (ASTM) 

standard A653. The service life of our 

galvanized steel enclosures is more 

than twice that of regular steel. 

Specifi cations (Standard Withstand Models) 


Operator Interface with external access 

DynaGen’s easy-to-use, 7-day exerciser 

clock gives you full control over day and 

time. The exerciser clock and indicator 

lamps are both accessible from outside 

the transfer switch. There’s no need to 

open the door to adjust the clock or 

view the status of the transfer switch, 

even with the NEMA 3 enclosure option.

POWER CONTROLS 

YOU CAN TRUST 

The US Army 

conducted a series 

of tests to establish 

the ruggedness of 

a battlefield communications system 

on a Humvee genset outfitted with a 

DynaGen controller. The rough treatment 

even included jolting chopper transport. 

The Result: Over 10 years of trouble-free 

deployment around the globe. 

NASA and Carnegie- 

Mellon University took a 

Nomad Lunar Rover to 

the harsh Atacama Desert 

in Peru for a series of 

punishing tests. Their on-board controller? 

A DynaGen. The Result: The Nomad 

traveled an unprecedented 215 km in 45 

days, under full remote control.
