Troubleshooting Section
For Automatic Synchronization, the output of
the close breaker control is pulsed active for a
programmed p erio d of t ime . The period of time is
set according to setpoint P302. While the conditions
for synchronization are satisfied, the close breaker
control output is repeatedly activated at one s econd
intervals. When the breaker sensor input indicates
that the generator circuit breaker is closed, the
activation of the close breaker control output is
discontinued. Also, the a ctivation of the close breaker
control input is d iscontinued when setpoint P314
(Maximum Synchronization Time) is exceeded.
A possible cause of a CID 0858 FMI 03 is a short
from “BATT+” to the signal for the close breaker
control output. A CID 0858 FMI 03 is only detected
when the GSC+P is attempting to activate the output
of the close breaker control. The GSC+P trea ts a
CID 0858 FMI 03 as an alarm fault. CID 0858 FMI 03
will cause the GSC+P to stop the synchronization
process until the FMI 03 is cleared and the diagnostic
code is corrected.
Te st Step 1. CHECK THE INACTIVE
VOLTAGE LEVEL OF THE CLOSE
BREAKER CON TROL OUTPUT.
A. Turn the Engine Control Sw itch (ECS) to STOP.
B. Locate the wire that connects pin 37 on the
GSC+P to terminal SIAR-10 on the System in
Auto Relay.
C. Rem o ve the wire from terminal S IAR-10 only. The
GSC+P remains connected to the wire.
D. Measure the voltage at pin 37 on the GSC+P.
Expected Result:
The voltage should measure 5.2 ± 1.0 DCV.
Results:
•
OK – The voltage measures 5.2 ± 1.0 DCV. The
voltage is correct. Proceed to Tes t Step 2.
•
NOT OK – The voltage is less than 4.2 DCV or the
voltage greater than 6.2 DCV.
Repair: The GSC+P may have failed. It is unlikely
that the GSC+P has failed. Exit this procedure and
perform this entire procedure again. If the problem
remains, replace the GSC+P. Refer to Testing And
Adjusting, “EMCP Electronic Control (Generator
Set) - Replace”.
STOP.
Tes t Step 2. CHECK THE ACTIVE
VOLTAGE LEVEL OF THE CLOSE
BREAKER OUTPUT.
A. The wire from terminal SIAR-10 on the parallel
mode switch remains disconn ected.
B. Start the engine and run the engine.
C. Perform the Manual Paralleling function.
If necessary, refer to Systems Operation,
“Synchronization Sequence Of Operation”.
D. Manually bring the engine into synchronization
with the bus. The synchroscope pointer will be at
the top center position. This position indicates a
phase angle of zero degrees.
Expected Result:
When the “IN SYNC” symbol is turned ON, the
voltage level of the close breaker control output
should read 0.0 ± 1.0 DCV.
Results:
•
OK – The voltage level is 0.0 ± 1.0 DCV. The
voltage level is correct. The GSC+P is operating
correctly. The problem is in th e wiring or a
component that is connected to the close breaker
control output.
Repair: Use the information about the FMI and the
system schematic for the close breaker control
output to find the exact cause of the diagnostic
code.
STOP.
•
NOT OK – The voltage level is not 0.0 ± 1.0 DCV.
The voltage level is NOT correct.
Repair: The GSC+P may have failed. It is u nlike ly
that the GSC+P has failed. Exit this procedure and
perform this entire procedure again. If the problem
remains, replace the GSC+P. Refer to Testing And
Adjusting, “EMCP Electronic Control (Generator
Set)-Replace”.
STOP.
