Warning!!!
Caution High Voltage!!! Danger to life!!!
When engine is running, ignition sensor should
not be touched, disconnected or removed.
ATTENTION!!!
The knock monitoring system detects engine
knocking as far as possible but not guaranteed.
ATTENTION!!!
With V-engines it is only possible to run the
system, when only single-firing ignition systems
are mounted, not double-firing systems.
ATTENTION!!!
High tension leads with integrated 5 k resistor
are required to run the knock monitoring
system.
2 Function Description
2.1 Principle Of Knock Detection
During detonation combustion, a frequency is generated, which is typical for each engine type. detcon
measures the vibration energy in the narrow frequency band, where knocking can be expected. This
energy is equivalent to a knocking level. Measurements are executed during that specific section of
working cycle, where detonating is possible. This increases the sensitivity of the knock monitoring
system and improves immunity against random noise.
3 Installation
Customer installation is possible only for those engine types, for which the knocking frequencies
already have been measured.
For wiring of the control units, please refer to sections 5.1 - 5.3 on pages 12 - 14.
Binary outputs can be connected in both polarity as they are galvanicly seperated.
For wiring of the ignition sensor, please refer to section 5.3 on page 14.
For installation of the knock sensor(s), please refer to section 6.2 on page 16.
First install the software program (included in scope of supply) on your PC or Laptop. Minimum
system requirements are MS-DOS.
Copy all files out of the folder "detcon2" on your hard disc. A destination folder has to be created
before.
Now please connect your detcon control unit to your PC/Laptop. Therefore please take a "NullModem" cable and connect it from COM1 or COM2 of your PC/Laptop to the control unit. Cable is
included in scope of supply. When using a different kind of cable, both detcon control unit and
your PC/Laptop could be damaged.
To start the program from MS DOS box, please type "denox" (connection with COM 1) or "denox2"
(connection with COM 2).
Computers, connected to detcon, must be galvanicly speperated from grid potential and any other
potential of the genset. We recommend to use a notebook with internal batteries during detcon
configuration. During communication the detcon control unit must be powered up.
After program is loaded, you will see "detcon DEBUGER/LOADER, Version x" on the screen.
Communication window shows all user changeable values and also contents a program help file
(press [F1]).
Function of keys [F2], [F3], [F7] and [F8] see above.
When connection to control unit is established following message will appear:
COM 1 (COM 2) linked to: detcon (version x) OK.
In the last two lines you can see actually set values (please see table below for their meaning).
To leave the program press [ALT + X].
