Schematic For Electrical System

The EMCP II monitors battery voltage in order to protect the EMCP II in case of a problem with the battery or battery charging. The EMCP II operates on a 24 DCV battery system or a 32 DCV battery system. The GSC receives battery voltage from RM-1 of the relay module terminal strip. The GSC measures this voltage. Voltage is received whenever the ECS is in the "START", "AUTO", or "STOP" position.

Note: The GSC does not receive battery power when the ECS is in the OFF/RESET position. The GSC receives power when the contacts "6" and "9" of the ECS are jumpered.

The GSC treats a CID 168 as an alarm fault.

Procedure

This diagnostic code can be caused by the following conditions:

  • The battery voltage is greater than 32 DCV for a 24 DCV battery system.

  • The battery voltage is greater than 45 DCV for a 32 DCV battery system.

The setpoint for system voltage (P07) specifies the battery voltage as "0" for 24 volts and "1" for 32 volts. Clear the diagnostic code from the fault log after troubleshooting is complete.

This procedure is used for troubleshooting an active fault or an inactive fault. Active alarm faults are shown on the upper display when the alarm codes key is pressed and the ECS is in any position except the OFF/RESET position. Inactive alarm faults are viewed in the fault log while the operator is in service mode. See Systems Operation, "Fault Log Viewing OP1".

  1. Verify the fault.

    1. View the upper display and check for active diagnostic faults for the battery voltage (CID 168 FMI 04).

    1. Enter service mode and check the fault log for inactive diagnostic codes for the battery voltage (CID 168 FMI 04).

      Expected Result: A CID 168 FMI 04 diagnostic code is active.

      Results:

      • YES - A CID 168 FMI 04 diagnostic code is active. Proceed to Step 2.

      • NO - There are no diagnostic codes for the battery voltage. STOP.

  1. Check the system's voltage.

    1. Turn the ECS to the STOP position.

    1. Measure the voltage across the battery terminals.

      Expected Result: For a 24 volt system, the voltage should be between 24.8 DCV and 29.5 DCV. For 32 volt system, the voltage should be between 33.1 DCV and 39.3 DCV.

      Results:

      • OK - For a 24 volt system, the voltage should be from 24.8 DCV to 29.5 DCV. For a 32 volt system, the voltage should be from 33.1 DCV to 39.3 DCV. Proceed to Step 3.

      • NOT OK - For 24 volt systems, the voltage is not between 24.8 DCV to 29.5 DCV. For a 32 volt system, the voltage is not between 33.1 DCV to 39.3 DCV. The fault is in the charging system. Proceed to Testing and Adjusting, "Charging System - Test". STOP.
