Alarm Modules
(1) Amber indica tors. (2) Red indicators. (3) Lamp test switch. (4)
Alarm silen ce switch. (5) Horn.
The ALM is an attachment. The ALM is located on
the instrument panel. Red indicators (2) and amber
indicators (1) are the visual indicators. The Horn (5)
is the audible indicator. A 24 DCV battery system or
a 32 DCV battery system powe rs the AL M.
The modules are either alarm modules or a remote
annunciator. The versions are listed below.

NFPA 110 Alarm Module

EMCPII Remote Annunciator
The only differenc e between th ese modules is in t he
graphics film on the front of the panel and the jumper
wires on the rear. The EMCP II remote annunciator
has a lamp test switch. The following description of
operation refers to the alarm/remote annunciator
module as the annunciator module.
The Alarm Module (ALM) gives a warning of
conditions that are becoming a problem. The warning
occurs before conditions are severe enough to shut
down the engine.
An alarm fault develops while the generator set is
running and when the Engine Control Switch (ECS)
is in the COOLDOWN/STOP position or in the
AUTO posit ion . An alarm fault develops whe n the
generator set is not running and when ECS is in the
COOLDOWN/STOP position o r in the AUTO position
. That fault is indicated by the optional alarm module
or the remote annunciator.
Description Of Operation
Note: In the following paragraphs, the annunciator
can ref er to the alarm module, or t he ann unciator ca n
refer to the remote annunciator module.
The annunciator receives data from the following
items: switch inputs, internal circuitry, and a serial
data link from the GSC+PP.
Switch Inputs
Four switch inputs are available for the switch
connections. Switch inputs that are connected to
ground “BATT-”will be active. Refer to Table 12.
Internal Circuitry
Internal circuitry determines if the DC battery supply
voltage is too low. The setpoint is set at the factory
at 24 DCV.
Data Link
The annunciator module receives data from the
GSC+P by a serial data link. The received data
includes the followin g list.
1. Coolant temperature has exceeded the high
temperature alarm setp oint that is program med
into the G SC+ P .
2. Oil pressure is below the low oil pressure alarm
setpoint that is programmed into the GSC+P.
3. Coolant temperature is below the low temperature
alarm setpoint that is programmed into the
GSC+P.
4. The ECS is not in the AUTO or MAN/START
position.
5. Oil pressure is below the low oil pressure
shutdown setpoint that is programmed into the
GSC+P.
