Electrostatic Discharge Awareness
NOTICE |
---|
The EMCP 4 control contains components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). An electrostatic charge can damage the control resulting in EMCP 4 breakdown or improper operation. Take the following precautions while installing, removing, and handling the control. |
- Handle equipment correctly. Use ESD protective packaging and material handling containers that are anti-static and provide discharge protection and electric field suppression.
- Use protective devices: ESD-protective workstations and/or work surfaces (grounding mat, anti-static wrist strap and so on).
- Keep all plastic items away from the devices. Any plastic item is a potential static generator. Examples include candy wrappers, foam cups, synthetic carpet, foam cushions, and so on.
- The anti-static bag cannot function as a static dissipating mat.
- DO NOT use an anti-static bag for any other purpose than to enclose a product.
- The 120 pin or 70-pin connector on the back of the control is the most vulnerable area to ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD). While handling the EMCP 4.2, extra attention is required at the back of the control. The control may become damaged or inoperable if extra care is not taken.
Removal of the Existing Control
Resolve Existing Issues
- Resolve any existing issues with the control, the generator set, or the wiring between them. If the existing installation has generator set or control issues, these issues should be repaired prior to performing a control upgrade. Troubleshooting a failure will only become more difficult after the new control is installed. If the control has failed, it may not be possible to perform some of the following tasks.
- Use the documentation appropriate for the control. The document should be available on SIS web.
- Check the control for stored diagnostic codes and repair the issues that are causing the codes
- As much as practical, insure that the control and generator set are working without issues.
Voltage and Continuity Check
- Perform a voltage and continuity check to determine that the schematic conforms to the old control as it has been installed. An accurate schematic of the existing installation will be required when installing the new control.
- Using a voltmeter, connect the negative lead to ground
- Measure the voltage at every point shown on the schematic that is connected to battery (+). Check continuity for every point on the schematic. Mark up the schematic to reflect the control as it is installed. Continuity should be < 10 ohms. Voltage is Vbat ± 0.5 V
Determine Idle and Rated Speed Parameters
Record the generator set parameters when the generator is at idle and rated speed.
The value of the generator set parameters will be needed to verify that there are no problems after the installation of the new sensors.
Start the generator set and force the generator to remain at idle. The governor must be disconnected or disabled. When the coolant temperature has stabilized, record the following values listed in Table 2.
Value | Unit | Recorded Value |
---|---|---|
Engine Idle Speed | RPM | |
Engine Oil Pressure | psi / kPa | |
Engine Coolant Temperature | C / F |
Enable the generator set to go to rated speed. When the coolant temperature has stabilized, record the values listed in Table 3.
Value | Unit | Recorded Value |
---|---|---|
Engine Rated Speed | RPM | |
Engine Oil Pressure | psi / kPa | |
Engine Coolant Temperature | C / F |
Baseline Generator Set Operating Parameters
Record the existing baseline operating parameters of the generator set.
Use documentation found in the service information system website to determine how to access the generator set parameters. The parameters will be needed to program the new control. Record the data for the list of parameters that are shown in Illustration 2.
Illustration 2 | g03858747 |
Remove the Existing Control
Accidental engine starting can cause injury or death to personnel working on the equipment. To avoid accidental engine starting, disconnect the battery cable from the negative (−) battery terminal. Completely tape all metal surfaces of the disconnected battery cable end in order to prevent contact with other metal surfaces which could activate the engine electrical system. Place a Do Not Operate tag at the Start/Stop switch location to inform personnel that the equipment is being worked on. |
Bodily contact with electrical potential can cause bodily injury or death. To avoid the possibility of injury or death, ensure that the main power supply has been disconnected before performing any maintenance or removing any modules. |
Working with electrical circuits is hazardous. Bodily contact with electrical potential will cause personal injury or death. Ensure that personnel are trained in proper operating procedures in order to ensure safe operation. |
- Insure that the generator has been disconnected and isolated from the utility power and any other power source. Ensure that proper lock out and tag out procedures are followed.
- Disconnect the AC power from the battery charger.
- Disconnect the battery charger from the battery.
- Disconnect the battery from the generator set.
- Inspect the wiring coming out of the conduit that enters the bottom of the panel. All the wires must be labeled with the number of the terminal blocks that the wires are connected to. Ensure that the terminal block numbers match the wire numbers. The labeling is shown on the schematic for the existing installation. When all the wires have been labeled, disconnect the wires from the terminal blocks.
- Disconnect the conduit and spiral wrap from the original EMCP panel. Ensure that none of the wiring is damaged during removal of the conduit or spiral wrap.
Note: Do not remove any wiring from the conduit or spiral wrap.
- If the governor/speed control is going to be reused in the EMCP 4.2 panel, the governor/speed control should be removed from the original EMCP panel.
- Remove the original EMCP panel from the generator enclosure.

The schematic for the existing installation and the schematic for the EMCP 4.2 is required to install the wiring to the EMCP 4.2 control. Since the EMCP 4.2 can replace many different controls, the wire numbers on the existing wiring will likely not correspond with the EMCP 4.2 terminal blocks.
The wire numbers on the existing wiring along with the schematic for the existing control will help to identify the function for each wire. Using the schematic for the EMCP 4.2, find the corresponding function and the terminal block number. Connect each wire to the correct terminal block. In many installations there will be wiring that is not used. If it is certain that a wire will not be used, it can be pulled out of the conduit and discarded.
Note: All wiring connected to generator output must have an insulation rating of 600 V.

Items shown as dashed lines are not included in the kit.
Note: Replacing the oil pressure sensor, engine speed sensor, and coolant temperature sensor may be necessary if the existing sensors are not compatible with the EMCP4.2 or have failed.
Install Existing Sensors
Note: PWM Sensors will not work with the EMCP 4.2 Control. For more information refer to the section "Recommended Sensors".
Use Wiring Schematic Illustration 5 and 6 for help in the wiring of sensors. Use the reference document (UENR1209) for sensor configuration.
Control Parameter Configuration
Configuration Parameter Default Values
For information on configuration of various sensors, reference Application and Installation Guide, LEBE0006, "EMCP 4.1, 4.2 Generator Set Control" which can be found on Power Net.
Winding Ratings
Potential Winding Rating
The EMCP 4.2 control can directly monitor generator voltages up to 600 V. Voltages more than 600 V must use potential transformers or an ATB (AC Transformer Box) to scale the generator voltage to less than 600 V.
Secondary Winding Rating
Whether the generator is wired directly to the EMCP 4.2, or when potential transformers or an ATB is used, it is recommended that fuses at the appropriate voltage rating be installed. Fuses are connected to the load bus generator tab as shown in Illustration 6. If there is a short on one of the connections to the control (Bus Voltage L1, L2 and L3, Neutral), a fuse will blow to protect the generator, control, and personnel. If potential transformers are used, the voltage ratio is set in the Potential Transformer Secondary Winding Rating setting. The value of this rating depends on the turns ratio of the potential transformer's primary winding to secondary winding.
Primary Winding Rating
The EMCP 4.2 control must use current transformers to measure generator output current. The current transformers must scale the generator output current from, 0 to 1 or 0 to 5 amps for use by the EMCP 4.2. The current transformer ratio is set in the EMCP 4.2 parameter settings. Use (Configuration Setup for "Generator AC Monitor") shown above, as a path to access the current primary and secondary winding rating parameter using CAT ET.
The recommended Transformers can be found in Table 6.

Note: To check the continuity of the wiring from the generator output to the EMCP 4.2, remove the three fuses (F10, F11, F12 in Illustration 6) to isolate the wiring from the generator. Replace the fuses after the continuity checks have been completed.
Note: This validation assumes that potential transformers or an ATB is not being used.
Power On Test
Perform the following procedure for power-on test :
- Connect the battery terminals to the battery. Connect the battery charger to the battery and insure the battery charger is connected to an AC source.
- Using terminal block 201 as (-) Battery, check that there is (+) Battery voltage on the following points: (See Illustration 4 Schematic for fuse terminal block identification)
- Fuse 1 terminal 2.
- Verify that the EMCP 4.2 control is powered up
Cranking Cycle, E-Stop Test
This test will verify that the generator set cranking cycle can be stopped with the E-Stop button. To prevent the engine from starting, disconnect wire from TB312. Make sure to isolate wire, to prevent short to ground.
- Push the "RUN" button and allow the generator set to go through the first crank/rest cycle. When the second crank cycle begins, press the E-Stop button to verify that the generator set can be stopped
- Acknowledge the cranking cycle faults and reset the EMCP 4.2 control.
- Connect wire to TB312 to allow the Fuel Control Relay (FCR) to function.
Idle Speed Tests
Disconnect or disable any speed governor to prevent the generator set from running at rated speed
Idle Speed, E-Stop Test
This test will verify that the generator set can be stopped at idle speed with the E-Stop button.
- Press the "RUN" button and allow the generator set to start and run at idle speed.
- Press the E-Stop button to verify that the generator set will come to a controlled stop.
Idle Speed Parameter Validation
Perform the following procedure for idle speed parameter validation:
- Push the "RUN" button on the EMCP 4.2 control panel. The generator set should start and run at idle speed.
- Check the coolant temperature as the generator set starts and verify that it is close to the block temperature of the generator set. This check is done to determine if the coolant temperature sensor and related wiring is functional.
- Allow the coolant temperature to stabilize, then read the following parameters from the ECM display:
Engine speed - RPM
Battery Voltage - Volts
Engine oil pressure - kPa or psi (circle which)
Engine coolant Temperature - °C / °F (circle which)
- Any parameter that is not the same as the original data value data will need to be investigated and resolved before proceeding.
- Press the "Stop" button on the EMCP 4.2. The generator set should come to a controlled stop.
- Correct any issues that prevented the generator set from starting, idling, or verification of the idle speed parameters.
Engine Speed Sensor Loss Test
The engine speed sensor loss test will verify that the generator set will stop if the engine speed sensor fails.
- Push the "RUN" button and allow the generator set to start and run at idle speed.
- Jumper terminal 302 to terminal 303. The generator set should shutdown immediately. Loss of engine speed results in an "Unexpected Engine Shutdown" fault. To recover from this fault, remove power from the EMCP 4.2 control by removing Fuse 1 to remove power from the control, and then reinstall the fuse.
- Restart the generator set and allow it to run at idle speed.
- Disconnect the engine speed sensor from either terminal 302 or 303. The generator set should shutdown immediately. Reconnect the engine speed sensor and cycle the power on the EMCP 4.2 by removing Fuse 1 to remove power from the control, and then reinstall the fuse.
- Reconnect or enable the governor to allow the generator set to run at rated speed.
Engine Set point Verification
The engine set point verification procedure verifies that the EMCP 4.2 operates correctly when a Low Oil Pressure or High Coolant Temperature event occurs. The engine set point verification procedure also verifies that the EMCP 4.2 operates correctly when an Engine Overspeed event occurs.
Low Oil Pressure and High Coolant Temperature each have two events, Warning and Shutdown. The EMCP 4.2 will issue a warning whenever the warning threshold is reached and a shutdown whenever the shutdown threshold is reached. This verification procedure will modify configuration set points used in normal operation. The steps below outline how to perform the Low Oil Pressure Shutdown and High Coolant Temperature shutdown procedures. A similar process can be used for Low Oil Pressure Warning and High Coolant Temperature Warning, along with Low Idle Low Oil Pressure.
During this procedure, each configuration set point should be recorded prior to adjustment then returned back to the original setting after the set point has been verified.
The following conditions are required before the Engine Set points are verified:
- The set points must be correct for the generator set application.
- No shutdown events should be present. If necessary, troubleshoot, correct, and reset any shutdown events
Low Oil Pressure Verification
Note: Low Oil Pressure Shutdown is disabled during start-up and while the generator set is not running by the Fault Protection Timer (FPT). The fault protection timer starts timing when crank terminate RPM is reached during the starting sequence. The fault protection timer will then run for a programmed time which is determined by the Engine Start Fault Protection Activation Delay Time set point. Make sure that the fault protection timer has elapsed before starting the Low Oil Pressure Verification.
- Start the generator set and run the generator set at rated speed.
- Adjust the set point value for Analog Input #1 Low Shutdown Event Threshold to a value that is above the oil pressure at which the generator set is operating. The shutdown event will occur after the programmable time delay (Analog Input #1 Low Shut down Event Delay Time set point)
- View the event by going to the EMCP 4.2 event log.
- Reset the event
- Return the set point value for Analog Input #1 Low Shutdown Event Threshold to the original value.
Overspeed Verification
Perform the following procedure on overspeed verification:
- Start the generator set and run the generator set at rated speed.
- Adjust the set point value for Engine Overspeed Set point to a value that is below the speed that the generator set is running at. An Engine Overspeed Set point event will occur immediately after the set point is changed, and the generator set will shut down.
- View the event by going to the EMCP 4.2 Control event log.
- Reset the event.
- Return the set point value for the Engine Overspeed Set point to the original value.
Overspeed Verification
Perform the following procedure on overspeed verification:
- Start the generator set and run the generator set at rated speed.
- Adjust the set point value for Engine Overspeed Set point to a value that is below the speed that the generator set is running at. An Engine Overspeed Set point event will occur immediately after the set point is changed, and the generator set will shut down.
- View the event by going to the EMCP 4.2 Control event log.
- Reset the event.
- Return the set point value for the engine overspeed set point to the original value.
