SiteTecht software allows monitoring and adjustment
of the controller parameters shown in the following
table. The View/Adjust column in the table indicates
whether each parameter can be changed or only
viewed.

D View: View only, no adjustment

D Adjust: Parameter is adjustable

D Locked: Parameter is not adjustable using

SiteTecht software.

Locked parameters are set by selecting the Uu and Ec

parameters at the controller. Refer to the generator set
Installation Manual or controller replacement instruction
sheet for instructions.

The table lists the individual parameters in alphabetical

order and shows the group in which each parameter
appears. Use this table to find the location of individual
parameters, and also to see which parameters can be
adjusted using the SiteTecht program.
