The Engine Control Switch (ECS) (1) determines the status of the control panel. In the AUTO position (1b), the GSC+P allows the operator to remotely control the generator set via customer supplied contacts. Also, the GSC+P allows the operator to remotely monitor the generator set via customer supplied contacts. The GSC+P allows the engine to start whenever the remote initiating contact is closed. The engine shuts down after the remote initiating contacts open.
A cooldown period for the engine is programmable for 0 to 30 minutes. The cooldown period allows the engine to cool before the engine shuts down. The cooldown period for the engine is set for five minutes at the factory. The engine starts and the engine runs while the ECS is in the MANUAL START position (1c). In the COOLDOWN/STOP position (1d), the engine shuts down after the programmed cooldown period. In the OFF/RESET position (1a), the engine shuts down immediately. Also, any fault indicators are reset. An active Emergency Stop Push Button (ESTOP) will not be reset until the ESTOP button is pulled out.
If the red ESTOP (2) is pressed, the power is removed from the engine ECM. The operator must pull the ESTOP (2) button out in order to to restart the engine. Next the operator must turn the ECS to OFF/RESET and then turn the ECS to the MANUAL START.
The Circuit Breaker Close Push Button (CBCPB) (3) is used to manually close the circuit breaker when operating the GSC+P in the MANUAL/PARALLELING mode. The CBCPB is also an illuminated button. The CBCPB will illuminate when the circuit breaker is closed.
The Circuit Breaker Open Push button (CBOPB) (4) is used to manually open the circuit breaker. The CBOPB is also an illuminated button. The CBCPB will illuminate when the circuit breaker is open.
The Paralleling Control Switch (PCS) (5) controls the paralleling operation of the generator. Refer to Systems Operation, "Paralleling Mode" for a description of the paralleling functions.
The Panel Light Switch (PLS) (6) turns ON the panel lights and turns OFF the panel lights.
The Speed Adjust Potentiometer (SAP) (8) is used to raise the engine speed. The SAP is also used to lower the engine speed.
The Voltage Adjust Switch (VAS) (9) is used to raise the generator voltage. The VAS switch is also used to lower the generator voltage.
