Shutdown Mode
SMCS Code: 4490
Shutdown mode prevents damage to the generator
set when a shutdown fault is occurring. A shutdown
fault is critical. W hen a shutdown fault occurs, the
GSC+P automatically activates shutdown mode until
the shutdown fault is corrected. The GSC+P shuts
down the engine when the GSC+P is in shutdown
mode. The GSC+P prevents starting of the engine
and the GSC+P alerts the operator.
The GSC+P alerts the operator and the GSC+P
identifies the shutdown fault by FLASHING the
corresponding shutdown indicator. The name of the
shutdown indicator identifies the shutdown fault.
Shutdown Indicators
•
Low oil pressure
•
Emergency stop
•
High water tem perature
•
Engine overspeed
•
Engine overcrank
•
Fault shutdown
•
Spare 1, Spare 2, Spare 3 (that are accompanied
by the fault shutdown indicator)
If the fault shutdown indicator is the only indicator
FLASHING, additional information is available. A
fault code is shown on the upper display which more
precisely identifies the cause of the shutdown fault.
Refer to System O peration, “Fault Description” for
more information.
Shutdown Mode Sequence
1. A shutdown fault occurs and the GSC+P detects
the shutdown fault.
2. On EUI engines, in order to shut off the fuel,
the GSC+P deactivates the Electronic Governor
Relay (EGR).
3. In order to prevent the engine from sta rting, t he
GSC+P deactivates the Run Relay (RR), and
the GSC+P deactivates the Starting Motor Relay
(SMR).
4. In order to remove the generator load, the GSC+P
activates the Genset Fault Relay (GFR). This
activates the optional circuit breaker shunt trip coil.
Note: The spare output may also be programmed to
activate when a shutdown occurs. This output can
drive a relay in order to open the circuit breaker, or the
output can open a transfer switch. Refer to System
Operation, “Spare Input/Output Programming OP6”.
5. When engine speed reaches 0 rpm, the GSC+P
deactivates the Crank Termination Relay
(CTR). Th e Electronic Governo r Relay (EGR) is
deactivated when the engine oil pressure reaches
the setpoin t P014 for low oil pressure sh ut down at
idle speed 70 kPa (10 psi).
6.
7. The GSC+P FLASHES the corresponding
shutdown indicator. If the fault shutdown indicator
is FLASHING, a fault code is shown on the
upper display. Refer to Systems Operation, “Fault
Description”.
8. If the fault shutdown indicator is the only indicator
FLASHING, additional information is available. A
fault code is shown on the upper display that better
identifies the cause of the shutdown fault. Refer to
the Syste ms Operation, “Fau lt Description”.
9. The lower display continues to show the engine
data.
10. The relay status indicators show.

pressure decreases to 80 kPa (12 psi). (K7 is
not shown for ETR fuel systems.)
Engine Start Sequence (After
Shutdown)
1. Correct the shutdown fault. Refer to the System
Operation , “Fault Iden tification”.
2. Turning the Engine Control Switch (ECS) to the
OFF/RESET position resets the GSC+P. If no
shutdown fault is active, the GSC+P returns to
normal mode and the engine is able to start.
