Shutting Down The Unit
Personal injury or death can result from high voltage. When power generation equipment must be in operation to make tests and/or adjustments, high voltage and current are present. Improper test equipment can fail and present a high voltage shock hazard to its user. Make sure the testing equipment is designed for and correctly operated for high voltage and current tests being made. When servicing or repairing electric power generation equipment:
Failure to do so could result in personal injury or death. Make sure residual voltage in the rotor, stator and the generator is discharged. |
NOTICE |
---|
Stopping the engine immediately after it has been working under load can result in overheating and accelerated wear of engine components. Excessive temperatures in the turbocharger centerhousing will cause oil coking problems. Excessive temperatures in the turbocharger centerhousing may damage the turbocharger bearing/shaft system and significantly shorten the life of the turbocharger. Allow the engine to gradually cool before stopping the engine |
- Open the main circuit breaker in order to disengage the driven equipment.
- Turn the engine control switch to the "OFF/RESET" position. The engine will immediately shut off.
- Press the red "STOP" button on the controller. If the set point for the duration of the cool down period is set to a value that is greater than zero, the engine will operate for a programmed period before the engine stops. Otherwise, the engine will immediately shut off.

Wiring Diagrams
Control Panel - Wiring of Earlier Version
Illustration 26 | g03164078 |
Earlier Version of the electronic instrument panel (100) Wire 060-YL (101) Wire 998-BR |
Use the following steps to make necessary wiring changes.
Note: The following is the recommended configuration. If the current installation is different, refer to Application and Installation Guide, LEBE0007.
Note: The following example applies to a unit that uses the three position remote start/run, cool/stop, and stop switch. The three position switch is used in the earlier version of the control panel.
- A wire 060-YL must be routed from the remote switch to the EMCP 4 control panel terminal strip. The 060-YL wire is connected to terminal 8 of the remote switch.
- Connect wire 060-YL to the "START" terminal block on the terminal strip that is in the EMCP 4 control panel.
- Connect 998-BR to the "BATT-" terminal block on the terminal strip that is in the EMCP 4 control panel. Wire 060-YL is connected to contact 5 of remote switch.
Note: All other contacts and wires must be removed from the 40 pin connector.
When the remote switch is in "STOP" or "COOL/STOP" position, the EMCP will send the stop request signal to the engine controller. When the remote switch is in "START/RUN" position, the EMCP will send the start request signal to the engine controller.
Note: The engine will always go through a cool down cycle when using the remote start/stop.
Remote Start
The EMCP4 can accept a remote start signal. If the signal is activated, the EMCP will send an engine start request to the engine controller. If the remote start signal is removed, the EMCP will send a stop request signal to the engine controller. A momentary signal will not keep the engine running.
The remote start will become active when "START" is pulled to "BATT-". For more information, refer to the Application and Installation Guide, LEBE0007.

PT and CT Connections
Illustration 30 | g03703355 |
Schematic is for reference only. |
The application will determine the PTs and CTs that will be needed. That is, for example, if the generator output is wired for 240 V, the PT output will be 240 V. The black and white wire of the input must be used for the one to one ratio.
The following is another example. The output of the PT will be 240 V if the following configuration is used:
- The generator is wired for 600 V output
- The generator is wired to the black and red input wires of the PT
Note: The PT uses a 2.5 to 1 ratio for this configuration.
Refer to Illustration 31.
Illustration 31 | g03171820 |
Schematic is for reference only. The voltage rating for the installation will determine which connections are correct. For example, installations that use 240 V will use the black and white wires. For installations that use 380 V, the black and green wires are to be used. |

Direct Rack Connections
Illustration 33 | g03172222 |
Refer to Special Instruction, REHS0848, "3500 Direct Fuel Control Modification" for related information.
If direct rack is used, a CAN 1 termination resistor must be used. If the Cat Digital Voltage Regulator (CDVR) is used, the CAN 1 termination resistor must be removed if there is a CAN termination resistor at the CDVR. Refer to Illustration 28 for the location of the CAN 1 termination resistor inside the panel.
Programmable Discrete Input Connections
