Illustration 2 | g01101388 |
The annunciator module is used to indicate various system events and conditions. The annunciator module uses indicator lights and an audible horn to give the operator information about the status of the system. The annunciator module can be used to announce faults and/or status signals to the operator. The annunciator module allows the operator to silence the horn. The annunciator module also allows the operator to acknowledge faults to the system.
There are 17 pairs of LED indicators on the front panel of the annunciator. 16 pairs of LED indicators are used to announce events, diagnostics, and ready signals. The 17th pair of LED indicators is used as a combined network/module status LED. The 17th pair of LED indicators can tell the operator if there is a problem with the J1939 data link connection.
Each pair of LED indicators on the annunciator consists of two of the following three colors: green, yellow and red. For example, a pair of red and yellow LED indicators may be configured for engine oil pressure. If a low engine oil pressure warning is read over the data link, the annunciator will flash the yellow LED and the horn will sound. If the low engine oil pressure shutdown is read over the data link, the annunciator will flash the red LED and the horn will sound.
To acknowledge the shutdown and alarm conditions or to silence the horn, press the "Alarm Acknowledge" button that is located on the annunciator.
Test the LED indicators or the horn when the data link is connected or disconnected, by pushing "Lamp Test" button located on the annunciator.
The annunciator module can be customized in order to signal many different conditions that are related to the system. Each pair of LEDs must be configured by using the appropriate service tool. Once the service tool has been connected to the annunciator, the user must enter the "Configuration" screen. Each pair of LEDs has four settings: SPN, Trigger Type, Trigger Severity Level and Failure Mode Identifier (FMI).
For detailed information about the annunciator module, see Systems Operation, Troubleshooting, Testing and Adjusting, UENR1210, "EMCP4.3/4.4".

(1) Emergency stop push button
(2) Fuel priming switch |
Emergency Stop Push Button (1) - The emergency stop push button (ESPB) is used to shut down the engine during an emergency situation. If equipped, the ESPB shuts off the fuel and the ESPB activates the optional air shutoff.
Fuel Priming Switch (2) - The fuel priming switch is used to activate the fuel priming pump.
Illustration 4 | g02680536 |
(1) Fuel level gauge
(2) Fuel control switch (3) Fuel mode switch (4) Fuel overfill lamp |
Fuel Leve Gauge (1) - Displays the level of fuel in the fuel tank of the power module. The level is displayed as a percentage.
Fuel Control Switch (2) - With this switch in the left position, the fuel pump will unload fuel from the tank. In the right position, the fuel pump will load fuel into the tank. This swich works with the fuel mode switch.
Fuel Mode Switch (3) - The position of the fuel mode switch determines if the fuel pump will automatically or manually transfer fuel to or from an external tank. The fuel transfer is determined by the fuel level in auto mode. If the fuel mode switch is manually held in the left position, then the fuel pump will operate regardless of the fuel level. The left position is the manual mode. The fuel mode switch is a three position switch.
Fuel Overfill Lamp (4) - The fuel overfill lamp will illuminate if the fuel tank of the power module is above 98 percent full. The fuel overfill lamp will illuminate if the pump has been locked out from pumping more fuel into the tank.
Fuel Transfer Control Functions
The fuel transfer system requires that customer fuel lines be connected from an external fuel tank to the power module.
While the control switches are in the Auto and Load positions, the fuel level will be maintained between 50% and 85% automatically. For example, when the fuel level drops to 50% or below, and EMCP 4 relay output will turn on the "load" relay. The load relay will power the fuel pump motor in the forward rotation. The forward rotation results in pumping fuel from the external supply into the fuel tank. Once the fuel level reaches 85% or higher, the pump motor will turn off automatically.
The following criteria must exist for the EMCP 4 to turn on the output for the "unload" relay:
- Control in Auto
- Control set for Unload
- Fuel level above 10%
The relay output will power the fuel pump motor in the reverse rotation. The reverse rotation results in pumping fuel from the fuel tank into an external tank. Once the fuel level drops to 10% or lower, the pump motor will turn off automatically. To continue unloading fuel until the tank is empty, refer to the "Manual Unload" section of this Operation and Maintenance Manual below.
With the toggle switch in the Load position, the operator must turn and hold the selector switch in the Man position. The operator has complete control of what level the fuel will be loaded to. The only thing that limits this operation is activation of the overfill switch.
With the toggle switch in the Unload position, the operator must turn and hold the selector switch in the Man position. The operator has complete control of what level the fuel will be unloaded to. There is no device that limits this operation so that the fuel tank can be emptied.
Note: Do not drain the fuel pump completely. Damage to the pump can occur if the fuel pump is drained completely.
Note: The fuel levels used for control are programmable.
Utility Multifunction Relay Panel
Illustration 5 | g02707522 |
Utility Multifunction Relay |
The optional Utility Multifunctional Relay (UMR) panel is intended for use only when paralleling the unit to the utility system. This provides protection primarily for the utility system but also includes one feature for generator protection (the 40Z element). The UMR detects a fault condition via three phase AC monitoring and then trips the 86 lockout relay on the panel. There are provisions also to accept a customer supplied (dry contact) signal, indicated as "utility transfer trip" to trip this 86 lockout relay. The 86 lockout relay directly trips the generator breaker open and signals the EMCP control to put the engine in stop/cooldown. When the unit is not setup for a utility paralleling application, the necessary UMR protections are suppressed or bypassed automatically to allow normal operation and avoid false alarms and trip/shutdowns.
UMR - The utility multifunction relay is a protective device. The UMR prevents damage to electrical components in the event of an electrical anomaly on the bus. The UMR monitors voltage, frequency, synchronization, and other parameters. The UMR is set up specifically to protect downstream electrical components when the power module is paralleled with a utility. Protection of upstream components, such as the generator used in the power module, is primarily provided by other onboard components. However, the UMR does provide one generator protection element, the 40Z (loss of field) impedance-based protection. The settings for the 40Z function are specific for the generator on this power module. The UMR relay is a modular component that can be removed. The relay can be removed by loosening the two thumbscrews, then by pulling out the relay assembly. The relay has adjustable pickup and adjustable time delay settings. The display on the utility multifunction relay contains a menu for different settings. Settings for the relay can be adjusted at the discretion of the user. The factory has programmed default settings that are based on the IEEE 1547 intertie protection standard but are not intended to provide protection for any specific utility, site, or device. The user has the responsibility to check with the local utility and/or conduct a system study to determine proper site-specific UMR settings.
Paralleled with Utility Lamp - The paralleled with Utility lamp will illuminate when both of the following conditions are true:
a. The utility breaker is closed
b. The generator breaker is closed
Utility Breaker Closed Lamp - The utility breaker lamp will illuminate when the utility breaker is closed. This requires customer provided signal wiring from the utility intertie breaker aux contact.
Utility Transfer Trip Lamp - The utility transfer trip lamp will illuminate to indicate that the transfer trip signal was or still is active.
86 Lockout Relay - device performs fast response fault clearance. The fault is cleared by opening the generator breaker and by placing the engine in cooldown if a fault occurs. The fault must be detected by the on-package utility multi-function relay (UMR) or the utility transfer trip signal.
Note: The EMCP control must be in "STOP" mode to allow the manual reset of the 86 lockout relay. Resetting the 86 lockout relay will also reset the UMR trip signal.
Transformers - Inside the UMR panel are the potential transformers (PTs) used to step down voltage from line voltage to 120 VAC both on the "line side" and "load side" of the generator breaker. These provide sensing voltage only for the UMR.
Fuses - The fuses for the secondary side of the potential transformers are located on the face of the UMR panel. The fuses for the primary side of the potential transformers are located in the lower terminal box on the Generator.

Customer Load Cable Connection Bus Bars (1) X1 Polarity Indicator Dot |
The unit is designed for easy installation of the UMR panel. Wall mounted brackets are used to secure the panel to the wall near the right-hand side of the generator control panel. The unit has provisions to use a hoisting tool to position the UMR panel into place, allowing for a single person to install. An interconnect harness must be installed from the lower right-hand side of the generator control panel to the bottom side of the UMR panel.
Current transformers (CT) must be added, one for each phase (T1, T2, and T3), to the customer connection bus bars. The standard CT has a 1200:5 amp ratio and is a "relay class" CT. This allows for utility paralleling only at the higher rated voltages of the unit (400V or 480V). If paralleling at one of the lower voltages, consult the factory regarding CT selection. Prior to connecting the customer load cables, the CTs are to be mounted on the outside of the red "glastic" material, surrounding the bus bars, using the pre-drilled mounting holes. Wires (14AWG min.) must be added from those three current transformers to the six-position CT shorting terminal block located adjacent to the bus bars area. Install CTs per the illustration below with the X1 polarity indicator dot to identify the X1 wiring terminal of the CT and with the other polarity indicator dot (on the side of the CT) facing the generator.
The UMR must have software settings that are specific for the unit in which it is installed. Standard settings are for a nominal 480V, 60Hz system. Consult the factory regarding software settings.
For more detailed instruction on installation of the UMR panel, reference Operation and Maintenance Manual, SEBU8514, "XQ Auto Paralleling".

(1) Solar array panel |
Solar Array Panel - One solar array panel is located on the roof of the power module (1).
Check wire connections for tightness and corrosion, and exposed areas for chaffing and wear on a regular basis. Module surface may be cleaned as needed using a soap and water. Abrasive chemicals cannot be used in the cleaning of your solar module. As the combination of water and electricity produces a large shock hazard, disconnect your solar panel from the charge controller or battery prior to any cleaning process and always wear protective rubber gloves and rubber sole shoes when working with electricity.
Illustration 8 | g02704821 |
Controller - The solar battery charging controller is located inside the upper generator terminal box.
During normal operation, the "charging" LED should always be ON solid during sunlight to indicate the solar array is contributing power to the controller. Also, the "battery status" green LED (one on the left) should either be ON solid (indicating batteries fully charged) or blinking (solar is charging) and the other two "battery status" LEDs (yellow and red) should remain off.
Battery type selection for XQ product is number 2 (Sealed). Temperature sensor for batteries is not used on XQ product.
Battery Connection - Battery "+/-" has an uninterrupted connection to the batteries. A two-pin connector is located near the batteries to allow isolation from the solar charging system if desired. If the connector is unplugged, the red "battery status" LED will be "ON" solid.
Definition - The EMCP and CDVR voltage regulator each have 4 preprogrammed settings groups for up to four different voltage and frequency machine ratings. A combination of two switch inputs to the EMCP will cause one of four settings groups in the EMCP to become "active" for a particular desired voltage and frequency rating. The engine must be stopped for the switch inputs to effect a change in settings group activation. The EMCP will then send the "active group number" to the CDVR via the "CAN" communication port. The CDVR reads the "active group number" sent from the EMCP and then activates the corresponding settings group within the CDVR. This eliminates field programming to change parameters, in multiple controls, in order to changeover the unit from one machine rating to the next. Benefits include:
- Quicker setup time to meet site requirements
- Reliable changeover method (all necessary settings changed over correctly every time)
- Anyone is capable of performing changeover
Operator Control – The two switch inputs to the EMCP come from a linkboard position switch (to detect "low voltage" or "high voltage" selection) and a two-position voltage/frequency selector switch (VFSS) inside the upper terminal box. The linkboard is placed in the desired position and then the operator uses the VFSS to select the desired rating. This allows for two different rating selections with the linkboard in the "low voltage" position and two different rating selections with the linkboard in the "high voltage" position. Once the selection has been made, the engine ECM, CDVR, and EMCP 4.4 are configured automatically to the new setting and the unit is ready to run. The only control not affected is the UMR. The UMR, if installed, has settings which do not automatically change over. These settings are based on nominal 480V, 60Hz. This will not cause a shutdown at the lower voltages, however, unless running in a utility paralleling mode.
Verification – To view the active rating selection in the EMCP before startup, press the "AC overview" button on the EMCP and then scroll all the way down in order to view which ratings have been selected.
