- Q2: What is the difference between easYgen-2500 and easYgen-3200?
- A2: easYgen-2500 is an operator interface. easYgen-3200 is a full controller with built‑in protection and load sharing.
- Q3: Does this unit support remote start from a dry contact?
- A3: Yes. Use one of the 32 discrete inputs to trigger remote start.
- Q4: Can I connect the unit to a building management system?
- A4: Yes. Use Modbus RTU to connect to any BMS or PLC.
- Q5: What happens if DC power drops below 8 V?
- A5: The unit will shut down. Use a battery charger to maintain voltage.
Buying Guide & Selection Tips
- Choose easYgen-2500 if you already have a separate genset controller and need an operator panel.
- For full control + display, pick easYgen-3200 (front panel) or easYgen-3100 (back panel).
- Use back‑panel version (3100/3400) for harsh environments – rugged aluminum housing.
- Check your CT secondary rating: select 1 A or 5 A model accordingly.
- Buy spare communication cables and fuses for quick field replacement.
- Order from authorized distributors to ensure genuine Woodward products.
