Woodward 8440-1809 easYgen-1000 Series Controller for Non-Paralleling Gensets

Reliable Control for Mobile and Standby Power

The Woodward 8440-1809 comes from the easYgen-1000 series, specifically the easYgen-1500 model. It serves specialized non-paralleling applications. These include mobile power units and emergency standby systems. You can configure this controller for 1 or 2 breaker operation. Additionally, it supports flexible start-stop logic for both diesel and gas engines.

Key parameters include an input resistance of approximately 6.7 kΩ and a linear measuring range of 1.5 x V. Load rating (GP) is 2.00 Aac @ 250 Vac. Maximum power consumption stays below 0.15 W. Storage temperature ranges from -22 to 176 °F.

Alarm Classes and Testing Features

The 8440-1809 uses six alarm classes: A, B, C, D, E, and F. Class A remains class A, and class B stays class B. However, classes C, D, E, and F all convert to class B alarms. This simplifies alarm management.

You can set up your controller with or without load. For a load test, start the unit in automatic mode. A special message will not appear on the display screen. If the mains fails during starting, the unit keeps running. It will only stop after the mains returns and the settling time expires.

Control Interface and Display

This controller features a built-in LCD display for local monitoring. It operates on 12-24 V DC power. The unit mounts directly onto a panel. Supported communication protocols include CAN Open, J1939, and Modbus RTU. Modem connection is also available.

Moreover, the Woodward 8440-1809 provides true RMS voltage and current sensing. It monitors both generator and mains. Complete engine and generator protection is standard. Metering functions give you real-time operational data.

Advanced Logic and Connectivity

The LogicsManager™ tool combines measured values, internal conditions, and I/O states. It uses boolean operators and programmable timers. Therefore, you can create complex control sequences with ease.

Advanced CAN communication connects to most common engine ECUs. You can also link to the Woodward IKD 1 module for I/O expansion. For NFPA-compliant installations, connect the Easylite-100 remote annunciation panel. Furthermore, remote-start capability allows unattended operation.

Installation and Environmental Notes

Install the 8440-1809 in a dry, vibration-free panel. Ambient temperature should stay between -30°C and +80°C (-22°F to 176°F) for storage. Operating range is typically -20°C to +70°C. Use shielded cables for analog inputs to avoid noise interference.
