Alarm Mode Sequence Of Operation – If a fault
occurs in a spare input that is programmed as an
active input, the following steps occur and the fault
isprogrammedasanalarmfault:
1. The GSC+P waits until the time delay elapses.
2. The fault alarm indicator FLASHES .
3. The corresponding code SP1, SP2, SP3 or SP4 is
shown on the upper display of the GSC+P.
4. The engine continues to run and the engine is
abletostart.
Shutdown Mode Sequence Of Operation – The
following sequence occurs when a fault occurs in
a spare input and the fault is programmed as a
shutdown fault. The spare in p ut must be programmed
toreceiveanactiveinput.
1. The GSC+P waits until the time delay elapses.
2. The fault shutdown indicator FLASHES.
3. The corresponding code SP1, SP2, SP3 or SP4
is immediately shown on the upper display of the
GSC+P.
4. The engine is shutdown or the engine is disabled
from starting.
The fault shutdown indicator remains FLASHING and
the spare fault code remains shown until the Engine
Control Switch (ECS) is turned to OFF/RESET. After
turningtheECStoOFF/RESETandcorrectingthe
cause of the spare fault, the engine is able to start
and the engine is able to run.
Note: Spare faults are not logged into the G SC+P
fault log.
Note: If the customer does not prefer to use the
spare inputs, program the spare inputs to receive an
active low state. Do not connect any components to
the spare input.
Spare Indicators
The spare indicators are located on the face of
the GSC+P and the spare indicators are referred
to as Spare 1, Spare 2, and Spare 3. The spare
indicators are programmable. A large selection of
trigger conditions is available to activate the spare
indicators. Setpoints SP17, SP18 and SP19 are used
for the programming of the trigger condition. Table 9
describes all of the setpoints.

Ty pical Active High Configuration F or Spare Output.
The spare output responds to a selected trigger
condition. The trigger condition should be high or
low. The response and the trigger condition are
programmable. The spare output is accessed on the
terminal strip in the customer connection box on the
side of the control panel. The spare output is marked
as “SPARE” on the au xiliary termina l strip.
The GSC+P must be programmed to accept a high
input or a low input for the active state of the spare
output. An active low state means that the output is
pulled to ground. The output draws approximately
100 mA when the output is in the low state. A high
state allows the output to fl oat. When there are no
devices that are connected to the spare output, a
high input is 5.0 DCV. When the spare output is in
the high state, the spare output is floating. The spare
output is only capable of driving logic circuits that
have a high impedance. A high impedance is one
that is greater than 36 000 ohms. When the spare
output is in the high s tate, the spare output will not
drive loads that have a low impedance. An example
