Control Panel
The generator set control panel is located on top of the generator regulator housing. The control panel consists of a main panel with indicators, meters and control switches.This control panel may be equipped with optional modules to match the customers needs and requirements. The right side may be blank, or contain one of the alarm modules, or a synchronizing light module. The left side of the control panel contains the Generator Set Control (GSC).Main Control Panel
The main control panel may or may not contain all of the components shown below. Some components are optional, and may not be required for your particular application.
Panel Lights-Optional (1), MSP (Manual Speed Potentiometer)-Optional (2), SAS (Starting Aid Switch)-Optional (3), ECS (Engine Control Switch) (4), ALM (Alarm Module) or SLM (Synchronizing Light Module)-Optional (5), VAR (Voltage Adjust Rheostat) (6), ESPB (Emergency Stop Push Button) (7), GSC (Generator Set Control) (8), PLS (Panel Light Switch)-Optional (9) Panel Lights (1) are controlled by PLS Panel Lights switch (9) (ALM Shown).* Voltage Adjust Rheostat (VAR) (6), is used to adjust the generator output voltage to the desired level.* Manual Speed Potentiometer (MSP) (2) is used to raise or lower the engine speed. The MSP is provided in the control panel for stand-alone applications (isochronous or droop). The MSP is shipped loose with a Load Share Module (LSM) for applications that require parallel isochronous load sharing with either other gen sets and/or a utility system. * Starting Aid Switch (SAS) (3) is used to inject ether into the engine for starting in cold weather conditions. This switch (when moved to the ON position) energizes and meters a specific amount of ether in a holding chamber. When the switch is released, the solenoid releases the ether to the engine.* The Emergency Stop Push Button (ESPB) (7) is used to shut down the engine during an emergency situation by shutting off the fuel and activating the optional air shutoff (if equipped).* The Engine Control Switch (ECS) (4), determines the status of the control panel.Generator Set Control (GSC)
The Generator Set Control (GSC) is the "main" component of the system, and also displays generator output, generator set functions, fault conditions and key engine parameters.The GSC accepts information from the operator, magnetic pickup, oil pressure and coolant water temperature sensors, and optional remote sources. This information is used to determine the ON/OFF state of the engine's air, fuel, and starting motor.Basic Operating Conditions
When the GSC receives a signal to run the generator set it allows the flow of fuel to the engine and engages the starting motor. When the engine speed reaches the crank termination speed, the starting motor is disengaged. When the GSC receives a signal to stop the engine, it shuts the fuel off. GSC Features and Functions
* Provides controls for normal starting and stopping of the engine.* Displays engine conditions and generator output information on two display windows. The displays also show fault codes and GSC programming information.* Monitors the system for faults. If a fault occurs, the GSC performs a controlled fault shutdown or provides a fault alarm annunciation. The GSC uses indicators and displays to describe the fault.* Contains programmable features for certain applications or customer requirements. Cycle Crank - The GSC can be programmed to crank/rest/crank etc. for adjustable time periods. Refer to the Service Manual SENR5827 for programming instructions. Cool Down - Upon receiving a signal to perform a normal shutdown, the GSC will wait a preprogrammed amount of time before shutting the engine down by means of the fuel control. Automatic Operation - While in the automatic mode, the GSC can be started by a remote initiate signal (contact closure). Upon loss of the signal (contact opening), the GSC will perform a normal shutdown. Alarm Module Communication - The GSC can transmit fault and alarm conditions to an optional alarm module(s). Power Down - The Electronic Modular Control Panel II (EMCP II) system is designed to remove power from the GSC when in the OFF/RESET mode when the proper jumper wire is removed. The GSC will not allow the power down until the crank termination relay and the fuel control relay are both OFF for about 70 seconds. If the wire is not removed, the GSC will remain powered up. Refer to the Service Manual SENR5827 for the wiring diagram and jumper wire location. Fuel Solenoid Type - The GSC is programmed to work with an energized to run (ETR) fuel system.
Display Area Of Generator Set Control (GSC)
(1) Dedicated shutdown indicators. (2) Fault shutdown indicator. (3) Fault alarm indicator. (4) Upper display. (5) Lower display. (6) Keypad.The upper display (4) and lower display (5) of the GSC provide information about the genset. Both displays are used for programming functions when in service mode. For more information, see the topic Service Mode.Display Windows
* Upper display (4) shows AC voltage, current, and frequency of one phase of the generator output. Each phase can be viewed one at a time by pushing the phase select key. Upper display (4) is also used to show the various fault codes for system faults. For more information on fault codes, refer to the Service Manual SENR5827.* Lower display (5) shows system battery voltage, engine hours, engine speed, engine oil pressure, and engine coolant temperature. The value for one of these conditions is shown for 2 seconds and then the display scrolls to the value for the next condition. A small pointer identifies the engine condition that corresponds to the value that is showing. When the engine meter key is pressed, the lower display (5) stops scrolling and continuously shows one particular value. Now the pointer flashes above the condition whose value is showing.* The relay status indicator is on the lower display also. When a GSC relay is activated, the corresponding indicator (K1, K2, etc.) is shown on the lower display (5). When a relay is not activated, the corresponding indicator (K1, K2, etc.) is not shown.Keypad
Keypad (6) is used to control the information
