AL2 Low Water Temperature Alarm – When the
engine coolant temperature decreases to setpoint
P016, the GSC+P issues a low water temperature
alarm. Setpoint P016 is the setpoint for the low water
temperature alarm. The fault alarm indicator will
FLASH and the AL2 fault code is shown on the upper
display after the “Alarm Codes” key is pressed.
P016 is the setpoint for the low water temperature
alarm. By displaying P016, the GSC+P indicates a
low water temperature alarm fault.
AL3 Alarm for Low Engine Oil Pressure – When
the engine oil pressure decreases to within 34 kPa
(5 psi) of Setpoint P013 or P014, the GSC+P issues
an alarm for the low engine oil pressure. The fault
alarm indicator will FLASH and the “AL3” fault code is
shown on the upper display after the “Alarm Codes”
keyispressed.
P013 is the setpoint for low oil pressure shutdown
at engine rated speed. If the oil pressure falls below
this setpoint while the engine is at rated speed,
the GSC+P will declare a low engine oil pressure
fault. When the setpoint is reached, the dedicated
shutdown indicator for low oil pressure flashes and
the engine is shut down.
P014 is the setpoint for low oil pressure shutdown
at idle speed. While the en gine is at idle speed,
Setpoint P014 tells th e G SC+P when to declare a
low oil pres sure sh utdown fault. When th e setpoint is
reached, the dedicated shutdown indicator for low oil
pressure FLASHES and the engine is shutdown.
AL4 Fault Detected By The Engine ECM – The
AL4 fault occurs when the Electronic Control Module
(ECM) for the engine detects an alarm fault or a
shutdown fault . The en g ine ECM tells t he GSC+P
whether the AL4 fault is an alarm fault or a shutdown
fault. This in dication includ es faults that include
derating of the en gine. When the eng ine ECM is
used in applications with generator sets, the engine
ECM is programmed in the factory NOT to derate.
The occurrence of an AL4 fault code could mean that
the engine ECM is not programmed correctly. For
the particular engine, refer to the Troubleshooting
Service Module. The AL4 fault (P023) is disabled on
MUI engines and gas engines.
When the fault is programmed as a shutdown fault,
the fault shutdown indicator will FLASH and the “AL4”
fault code is immediately shown on the upper display.
When the fault is programmed as an alarm fault, the
fault alarm indicator will FLASH and the AL4 fau lt
code is sh own on the upper display after the alarm
codes key is pressed.
AL5 Low Engine Coolant Level Fault – When the
engine coolant level drops below the probe of the
coolant loss sensor for ten seconds, the GSC+P
issues a low coolant level warning (AL5). The
GSC+P can be programmed (P006) to treat a low
coolant level warning as an alarm or a shutdo wn. The
fault can be disabled (P005). The GSC+P can be
programmed to lig ht on e of the spare f au lt indicators
when this fault occurs. T he spare fault indicators are
located on the front of the GSC+P.
When the fau lt is programmed as a shutdow n fault,
the fault shutdown indicator will FLASH and the AL5
fault code is immediately shown on the upper display.
When the f ault is programmed as an a larm fault, th e
fault alarm indicator will FLASH and the “AL5” fault
code is shown on the upper dis play after the “Alarm
Codes” key is p ressed.
AL6 High E ngine O il Temper ature Fa ult – When
the engine oil temperature rises to within 6 °C (11 °F)
setpoint P026, the GSC+P issues a high engine oil
temperature fault. The GSC+P can be programmed
(P027) to treat this fault as an alarm, a sh ut do wn,
or the fault can be disabled (P025). When this fault
occurs, the GSC+P can be programmed to light one
of the spare fault indicators that is located on the
GSC+P. The programmable setpoints are SP17,
SP18 and SP19.
When the fau lt is programmed as a shutdow n fault,
the fault shutdown indicator will FLASH and the “AL6”
fault code is immediately shown on the upper display.
When the f ault is programmed as an a larm fault, th e
fault alarm indicator will FLASH and the “AL6” fault is
shown on the upper display after the “Alarm Codes”
keyispressed.
AL7 Generator Over Voltage Fault (protective
relaying function) – W hen the line to line voltage
between any two phases of the generator rises
above the P102 setpoint or the P105 setpoint, the
GSC+P issues an overvoltage fault. The GSC+P
can be programmed to enable this fault or disable
this fa ult as an alarm, a shutdown, o r an alarm and
a shutdown. The setpoints for the overvoltage fault
are P101 and P104. The fault can be programmed
with a time delay from 0 to 120 seconds. These
setpoints are P103 and P106. The fault threshold
can be adjusted from 100 percent to 125 percent of
the nameplate voltage for the generator (P028. The
setpoints for the fault threshold are P102 and P105.
When the fault is enabled as both an alarm fault and
a shutdown fault, the fault thresholds and time delays
can be programmed independently to allow the alarm
fault to serve as an early warning for the shutdown
fault.
