Assignee:

Acutra, Inc. - Seattle WA

International Classification:

G05D 17/00
H02H 9/00

US Classification:

700287, 700292, 700297, 361 52

Abstract:

A generator controller, in its various embodiments, displays genset fault messages, a genset elapsed time hour meter, service countdown reminder, monitors battery voltage changes over multiple periods of time to establish and display the “battery level,” uses the “battery level” to automatically start and stop the genset, and accepts multiple run requests from AC loads such as HVAC systems, and incorporates safety or other start inhibit features.

US Classification:

340540, 340541, 340530, 345168, 345175, 345184

Abstract:

An exemplary embodiment of a keypad for building automation may comprise a sensing layer operable to detect user input. The sensing surface configured with a plurality of switching fields assigned to different automation functions. A printed label is layered over the sensing surface for identifying the different automation functions to a user. Control circuitry is operatively associated with the sensing surface. The control circuitry receives user input corresponding to at least one of the switching fields on the sensing surface, and the control circuitry generates a signal for executing the automation function assigned to the switching field at an automation device.
