OP6 is the option for the programming of the following parameters: Spare Inputs, Spare Indicators,
Spare Outputs and Programmable Spare Relay Outputs. These spare inputs and outputs are provided in
order to satisfy the needs of the customer.

Note: On EMCP II+P panels, spare input 3 and spare input 4 are not available for use by the customer.
If a DVR is fitted to the generator, spare input 1 is used for a DVR shutdown fault. Any other fault
signals can be connected to spare input 2. Multiple signals can be separated using diodes provided that
all signals are switched negative or all signals are switched positive. A mixture of both types of signals
is incorrect.

Spare Inputs
The spare inputs are referred to as SP1, SP2, SP3 and SP4. The spare inputs are accessed through the
terminal strip. The terminal strip is located within the control panel on the rear wall. The terminations
for the spare inputs that are located on the terminal strip are listed below.

 SP1 - On certain generators this is marked as "SW1"

 SP2 - On certain generators this is marked as "SW2"
 SP3 - On certain generators this is marked as "SW3"
 SP4 - On certain generators this is marked as "SW4"

The active input state, the response that is taken and the time delay for each spare input is
programmable. The GSC+ responds to the active state of an input and the response can be delayed.
Setpoints SP01 through SP12 are used for the programming of the spare inputs. Table 1 describes each
of the setpoints.

Typical Active High Input Configuration For Spare Input 1 (SP1).

g00409451
Illustration 2

Typical Active Low Input Configuration For Spare Input 1 (SP1).

The GSC+ must be programmed to accept a HIGH active input state or a LOW active input state. A
HIGH active input state is +5 DCV to the voltage of the batteries. A LOW active input state is "B-".
When an input is programmed for a HIGH active input state, a HIGH signal at the input creates a spare
fault condition. When an input is programmed for a LOW active input state, a LOW signal at the input
creates a spare fault condition. When an input is programmed for a LOW active input state, a LOW
signal at the input is considered as a spare fault condition. A HIGH signal at the input is considered as
a normal condition. Setpoints SP01, SP04, SP07 and SP10 are used to program the active input state of
the spare inputs. Table 1 describes each of the setpoints.

Note: If an input is left floating, the internal circuitry of the GSC+P pulls the input high and the
GSC+P responds accordingly.

The GSC+ must be programmed for a response to an active spare fault. The GSC+P responds by
treating the condition as a fault shutdown or a fault alarm. Setpoints SP02, SP05, SP08 and SP11 are
used for the programming of the response. Table 1 describes the setpoints below.

Note: Spare faults that are programmed to shutdown are ignored by the GSC+P when engine speed is
less than crank termination speed.
The GSC+ must be programmed for the amount of time to delay the response to a spare fault (active
input). After a spare fault occurs, the GSC+P does not respond. Indicators are not activated and codes
are not shown until the time delay has elapsed. Also, engine operation is not changed until the time
delay has elapsed. Setpoints SP03, SP06, SP09 and SP12 are used for the programming of the time
delay. The time delay is selectable from 0 to 250 seconds. Table 1 describes the setpoints.

Alarm Mode Sequence Of Operation - If a fault occurs in a spare input that is programmed as an
active input, the following steps occur and the fault is programmed as an alarm fault:

1. The GSC+ waits until the time delay elapses.

2. The fault alarm indicator FLASHES.

3. The corresponding code SP1, SP2, SP3 or SP4 is shown on the upper display of the GSC+.

4. The engine continues to run and the engine is able to start.

Shutdown Mode Sequence Of Operation - The following sequence occurs when a fault occurs in a
spare input and the fault is programmed as a shutdown fault. The spare input must be programmed to
receive an active input.

1. The GSC+ waits until the time delay elapses.

2. The fault shutdown indicator FLASHES.

3. The corresponding code SP1, SP2, SP3 or SP4 is immediately shown on the upper display of
the GSC+.

4. The engine is shutdown or the engine is disabled from starting.

The fault shutdown indicator remains FLASHING and the spare fault code remains shown until the
ECS is turned to OFF/RESET. After turning the ECS to OFF/RESET and correcting the cause of the
spare fault, the engine is able to start and the engine is able to run.

Note: Spare faults are not logged into the GSC+ fault log.

Note: If the customer does not prefer to use the spare inputs, program the spare inputs to receive an
active low state. Do not connect any components to the spare input.

Spare Indicators
The spare indicators are located on the face of the GSC+ and the spare indicators are referred to as
Spare 1, Spare 2, and Spare 3. The spare indicators are programmable. A large selection of trigger
conditions is available to activate the spare indicators. Setpoints SP17, SP18 and SP19 are used for the
programming of the trigger condition. Table 1 describes all of the setpoints.
Spare Output

Typical Active Low Configuration For Spare Output.

g00409840
Illustration 4

Typical Active High Configuration For Spare Output.

The spare output responds to a selected trigger condition. The trigger condition should be high or low.
The response and the trigger condition are programmable. The spare output is accessed on the terminal
strip in the customer connection box on the side of the control panel. The spare output is marked as
"SPARE" on the auxiliary terminal strip.

The GSC+ must be programmed to accept a high input or a low input for the active state of the spare
output. An active low state means that the output is pulled to ground. The output draws approximately
100 mA when the output is in the low state. A high state allows the output to float. When there are no
devices that are connected to the spare output, a high input is 5.0 DCV. When the spare output is in the
high state, the spare output is floating. The spare output is only capable of driving logic circuits that
have a high impedance. A high impedance is one that is greater than 36 000 ohms. When the spare
output is in the high state, the spare output will not drive loads that have a low impedance. An example
of a load with a low impedance is a relay. Setpoint SP13 is used for the programming of the active
state of the spare output. Table 1 describes the setpoints.

The GSC+ must be programmed to accept the condition that triggers the spare output to the active
state. A large selection of trigger conditions is available to activate the spare output. Setpoint SP14 is
used for the programming of the trigger condition. Table 1 describes the setpoints.
Note: A common use of the spare output is activating the shunt trip coil of the AC circuit breaker
during engine cooldown.

Note: The GSC+ diagnoses a fault in the spare output circuit. See CID 334 in the topic Testing And
Adjusting Section, "Diagnostic Fault Codes" for more information.

Programmable Spare Relay Outputs

Illustration 5

Programmable Spare Relay (PSR)

Note: On EMCP II+P panels, the PSR is not available for use by the customer. The EMCP II+P uses
this output.

The programmable spare relay outputs (PSR) should respond to a selected trigger condition. The
response and the trigger condition are programmable. The programmable spare relay (K8) is located in
the relay module on the rear of the GSC+. RM-25 is the termination for the normally open contacts of
the PSR. RM-26 is the termination for the normally closed contacts of the PSR.

When the outputs are triggered, the GSC+ must be programmed to decide whether the outputs of the
PSR are active or inactive. In an active state, the normally open contacts will close and the normally
closed contacts will open. Setpoint SP15 is used to program the active state of the spare relay output.
The setpoint is described in 1.

The GSC+ must be programmed for the condition that triggers the output of the programmable spare
relay to the active state. A large selection of trigger conditions is available to activate the output of the
spare relay. Setpoint SP16 is used for the programming of the trigger condition. The setpoint is
described Table 1.

Note: The GSC+ diagnoses a fault in the output circuit of the programmable spare relay. For more
information, see Testing And Adjusting, "Diagnostic Fault Codes".
Procedure For Spare Input/Output Programming
Note: Service Mode cannot be entered when the ECS is in the AUTO position.

Note: Any active shutdown fault must be made inactive in order to access service mode. A shutdown
fault is active when any shutdown indicator is FLASHING. To temporarily change a shutdown fault
from an active shutdown fault to an inactive shutdown fault, turn the ECS to the OFF/RESET position.
To permanently change a shutdown fault from an active shutdown fault to an inactive shutdown fault,
the shutdown fault must no longer be occurring. The fault must be corrected and the ECS must be
turned to the OFF/RESET position. If the jumper from terminal 6 to terminal 9 is not installed on the
ECS, the GSC+ does not power up in OFF/RESET and any active shutdown fault must be corrected
before entering Service Mode.

1. Shut down the engine by turning the ECS to the STOP position. Enter Service Mode and enter
the password. "OP 4" is showing on lower display. For more information, see Systems
Operation, "Procedure To Enter The Password".

2. Press the "SCROLL UP" key three times. "OP 6" is showing on the lower display.

3. Press the "SELECT" key. SP01 is showing. SP01 is followed by the value of the setpoint.

4. Press the "SCROLL UP" or the "SCROLL DOWN" key. The next setpoint and the value for
the setpoint is showing. Repeat this step until the desired value is showing.

5. Press the "SELECT" key. The value of the setpoint is flashing.

6. Press the "SCROLL UP" key or the "SCROLL DOWN" key in order to adjust the value of the
setpoint.

7. Press the "ENTER" key. The value of the setpoint stops flashing. Repeat steps 4, 5, 6, and 7
until all the desired setpoints are adjusted.

8. Press the "EXIT" key. "OP 1" is showing on the lower display.

9. Press the "EXIT" key. The display returns to Normal Mode.
