Systems Operation Section
Note: The optional Customer Communication
Module (CCM) can remotely control c ertain generator
set functions. This remote control can only occur
when the Engine C ontrol Switch (ECS) is in the
AUTO position. Refer to Systems Operation, “System
Communication Module (Customer)” for more
information.
Engine Starting Sequence
1. The GSC+P receives an engine start signal. The
signal will be one of two.
•
The operator turns the ECS to the M anual Start
position.
•
The ECS is in the AUTO position and the
customer issues a remote start command.
2. The G SC+P checks the system before b eg inning
the starting sequence. The GSC+P checks that
no system faults are present. The GSC+P checks
that all previous shutdown faults have been reset.
The GSC+P also checks that the engine is not
already running.
Note: Shutdown faults are removed by turning the
ECS t o OFF/RESETposition.
3. The GSC+P begins the starting sequence.
a. The GSC+P activate s the RR an d the
Electronic Governor Relay (EGR). The EGR
relay sends a run command to the Engine
Control Module (ECM) located on the engine.
4. The engine cranks until the cycle crank time
reaches the setpoint for total crank time or until the
engine starts. The factory default of the setpoint
is 10 seconds of crank time and 10 seconds of
rest time. The GSC+P setpoints that are related
to cranking (P017 and P018), do not affect on the
cranking cycle. In order to adjust the cranking
time, adjust the cranking parameters in the ECM.
5. While the startin g motor is cra n king, the GSC+P
shows the status of the relays on the relay status
indicators of the lower display.
•
ETR fuel systems: K4 (SMR), K5 (RR), K7
(FCR)
•
On EUI engines, K1 (EGR) is also shown.
6. The engines’ ECM deactivates the starting motor
relay when the engine speed has reached the
crank terminate speed. Factory default for crank
terminate is 400 RPM. The GSC+P activates
the Crank Termination Relay (CTR) when the
engine speed reaches the setpoint P011 for crank
terminate speed. The factory default of setpoint
P011 is 400 rpm.
Note: The GSC+P crank terminate setpoint does not
impact t he actual crank terminate speed.
7. The GSC+P shows the following information.
•
Information for one or more phases on the
upper display
•
Information for power meter on the lower display
•
Informa tion for the engine system on the lower
display
•
For ETR fuel system, the relay status of K1
(EGR), K3 (CTR), K5 (RR), and K7 (FCR) on
the low er display
•
For ETS fuel system, the relay status of K1
(EGR), K3 (CTR), K5 (RR) on the lower display
Engine Stopping Procedure
1. The GSC+P will receive an engine stop signal.
The signal will be one of two.
•
The operator turns the ECS to the STOP
position.
•
The ECS is in the A UTO position and re mote
start contacts open
2. After receiving the stop signal, the GSC+P checks
that there are no present system faults.
3. The GSC+P begins the cooldown period. The
cooldown period is the setpoint P019. The factory
default of setpoint P019 is five minutes.
4. The GSC+P may now activate the spare output.
The spare output is activated only if the spare
output SP07 has been programmed for this
purpose. The spare output can activate the slave
relay during the coold own cycle. The circuit
breaker is then activated , removing load from the
generator set..
5. After the cooldown cycle (setpoint P019),
the GSC+P deactivates the RR. The EGR
is deactivated after the engine oil pressure
decreases to less than the setpoint for low oil
pressure shutdown at idle speed (SP14).
