EGCP-2 Engine Generator Control Package

Discrete Output #3—Engine Preglow
The “Engine Preglow” relay output utilizes a set of normally open (NO) contacts
on terminals 11 and 12.
The “Engine Preglow” relay output is utilized by the EGCP-2 to turn on a diesel
engine’s glow plugs, if so equipped. This relay will energize for a programmed
length of time, based on the “Preglow Time” setting, before an engine crank
command is given.
Discrete Output #4—Fuel Solenoid
The “Fuel Solenoid” relay output utilizes a set of Normally Open (NO) contacts on
terminals 13 and 14 to energize the engine’s fuel solenoid.
The Configurations menu, “Start Sequencing” setting of Enabled or Disabled,
determines the EGCP-2’s start process.
Start Sequencing—Enabled
This relay ENERGIZES at the same time an Engine Crank command is initiated,
and stays on until a shutdown command is received. The EGCP-2 must have a
Magnetic Pickup (MPU) signal to operate in this condition.
Start Sequencing—Disabled
The EGCP-2 will ENERGIZE (continuously) the Fuel Solenoid relay when a start
command is given. It will De-energize when a shutdown command is received.
The fuel solenoids output will function as a Run/Stop relay.
There is no “Engine Preglow” or “Engine Crank” command in this mode. The
Disabled mode allows the EGCP-2 to operate without a Magnetic Pickup (MPU)
signal.
Discrete Output #5—Engine Crank
The “Engine Crank” relay output utilizes a set of Normally Open (NO) contacts on
terminals 15 and 16.
The “Engine Crank” relay output is utilized by the EGCP-2 to command the
engine to crank or start. This relay will energize for a programmed length of time,
based on the “Crank Time” setting, or until engine speed is sensed to be above
the “Crank Cutout” speed setting.
Discrete Output #6—Visual Alarm
With the relay de-energized, this output has Normally Open (NO) terminals 18
and 19 and Normally Closed (NC) terminals 19 and 20 contacts to select from.
The “Visual Alarm” relay output can be utilized as an option to remotely indicate
when an alarm condition has been sensed by the EGCP-2 control. This relay
energizes upon any sensed alarm condition and will remain energized until all
alarm conditions have been acknowledged or committed via the unit’s Alarm
Screen. Refer to chapter 2 for information on acknowledging and committing
alarms.
