    InteliMains NT

A compact and easily customisable mains supervision controller, the InteliMains NT GC provides complete on-site and remote monitoring control ensuring the switch to the main power source happens swiftly and quickly after unexpected power outages.  

The InteliMains NT GC offers: 

  • Built-in PLC interpreter with the use of ComAp's free PLC Editor for easy configuration
  • AirGateComAp’s controllers incorporate AirGate connection technology to make access to the internet as simple as possible.
    AirGate enables our controllers to connect to the internet using the existing network infrastructure, negotiating firewalls and VPN systems and removing the requirement for static and public IP addresses.
    to connect to your equipment remotely, without worrying about your asset’s IP address
  • Controller redundancyRedundancy in critical backup power systems is essential to ensure that the power is never compromised. Our controllers allow for installing a second controller to continuously monitor for potential failure. minimising solution downtime and ensuring the power isn’t compromised
  • Clear visualisation and overview of all important information on the built-in display
  • More precise measuring with a True Root Mean Square measurement feature
  • User-defined protections and setpoints on top of default protection
  • Remote control and monitoring of your gen-set operations with WebSupervisor, our cloud-based fleet management tool
  • Compatible load/Var sharing and power management with other ComAp solutions (*feature available with a hardware dongle)
  • A wide range of plug & play displays with automatically generated content that can be easily edited in our free Screen Editor
  • Faster and cost-effective operations with signal sharing over a CAN bus across a group of control units
  • Automatic Mains Failure that ensures automatic start of gen-sets and minimises downtime
  • Peak shaving for limiting the import from the mains (e.g. due to higher prices)
  • Load shedding ensuring the most important loads are running even when there is a lack of power
  • Compatible with the following remote displays: InteliVision 5, InteliVision 8, InteliVision 12Touch, or InteliVision 18Touch

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I change the controller firmware? Where can I get the latest firmware?

You can download the latest firmware package on the webpage of the device. You can easily navigate there through the ‘Products’ section or just use the Search function. If you cannot find the firmware on the website or if you require different than the offered version do not hesitate to contact our support team.

The firmware upgrade itself is easy to perform. You need the appropriate configuration software and a connection to the controller (preferably a direct connection). Prior to initiating the update process, we strongly recommend you to save a complete backup of your device.

It usually consists of several steps:
  • Create a controller back up.
  • Update the device firmware. It will contain default Configuration Archive and default Application.
  • Change the Application (SPtM, MiNT, MCB, MGCB, BTB, etc) to the required type (by programming appropriate default archive to the controller).
  • Use the Import Configuration Wizard to restore your previous configuration. In some cases manual interventions might be needed during this step.
  • Optional: Update the connected display firmware or device communication module firmware.
Should you be unsuccessful in programming the new version, the rollback procedure is to install previous firmware version and use your back up to restore the controller to its original state before the firmware upgrade was attempted.

How do I synchronize a gen-set to the mains? What AVRs do you support? What Speed Governonrs do you support?

The ComAp product portfolio includes controllers that can control voltage and speed and with those products our controllers are able to synchronise to the mains.

Synchronizing a gen-set to mains (or multiple gensets to each other) is a procedure which requires the following conditions to be met before you connect the two electrical systems together:
  • Matching voltage in all phases of both systems.
  • Matching frequency of both systems.
  • 0° phase angle between both systems. (Or as close to 0° as possible.)
  • Matching sense of rotation of both systems.
The last condition is predetermined by wiring and needs to be checked prior to commissioning, the rest can be controlled by a ComAp device. In order to do so you need to interface the generator AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) and the engine Speed Governor. ComAp controllers designed for paralleling operations typically have outputs designed for this connection. Thanks to this we are able to control the generator voltage and the engine speed (and subsequently phase angle).
 
The procedure of configuring the speed and voltage regulation is described in the relevant documentation. The same document also contains the list of supported AVRs and Speed Governors including the wiring and configuration setpoints.

What is the difference between InteliGen NT and InteliGen NTC?

The C stands for Communications. The NTC version contains extra USB, Ethernet and RS485(2) ports.

What is AirGate?

AirGate  allows our controllers to connect to the internet using existing network infrastructure, negotiating firewalls and VPN systems and removing the requirement for static and public IP addresses.

ComAp controls incorporate the AirGate connection technology to make access to the internet as simple as possible. AirGate was designed to overcome the issues commonly faced when trying to connect remote equipment using internet based communications.

AirGate allows our controllers to connect to the internet using the existing network infrastructure, negotiating firewalls and VPN systems and removing the requirement for static and public IP addresses.

Once AirGate in the controller is activated even if the IP address is changed, our configuration and monitoring tools will keep track of the remote equipment.

Can I unlock my controller?

If you have forgotten your controller password, it can be found using the password decode function.

You will need the following information about your device:

  • serial number
  • "password decode" number
Both numbers can be obtained through the monitoring software relevant to the device.
  • Serial number is available in Controller info
  • Password decode number is available in Values / Info

You can also show these numbers on your device's display. Typically, this requires a sequence or combination of buttons to be pressed. Details can be found typically in the device Operator guide.

Once you have these numbers, please contact your ComAp distributor and they will help you get your password back.
