Procedures
3Controller Configuration adjustment
⚠ Be sure to save the new settings immediately before exiting the configuration mode; changes are lost if the controller times out (about 1 minute).
- Hold the Select button and move the master switch to RUN to enter configuration mode.
- Press the down arrow key then the up arrow key 3 times to enter configuration mode (password).
- Set the voltage/frequency parameter Uu for the model.
- Set the unit configuration parameter Uc (marine, standby, mobile).
- Set the engine type parameter Ec.
- Press the up arrow at the Adnc display to enter advanced configuration mode.
- Set the engine data input type Ed.
- Set the battery voltage Bt (12 or 24 VDC).
- Set the communications parameter Cn.
- Enter save mode and save your settings before exiting.
Output Voltage and Frequency Adjustment adjustment
⚠ The generator set must be running during these adjustments.
⚠ The engine speed (frequency) adjustment menus are not accessible on models with mechanical governors.
Tools: multimeter
- Move the master switch to RUN; the engine starts and runtime hours display.
- Hold the Select button about 5 seconds until the program version number displays.
- Press the down arrow key then the up arrow key 3 times to enter adjustment mode.
- 1P: adjust voltage coarse in large increments (approximately 5-7 volts per step).
- 2P: adjust voltage fine in smaller increments (approximately 0.5-0.7 volts per step).
- Adjust voltage stability (gain) coarse and fine.
- 3P: set volts/Hz (00=low, 09=high).
- 4P: adjust engine governor speed coarse and fine.
- 5P: adjust engine governor stability (gain) coarse and fine.
- Enter SAVE mode and save settings before exiting the adjustment mode.
Controller Replacement installation
⚠ Disconnect the battery cables before working on the generator set; remove the negative lead first and reconnect it last.
Tools: multimeter, personal computer with Program Loader Software
- Record generator set information required for configuration: model, market, voltage, frequency, phases, battery voltage.
- Place the generator set master switch in the OFF position.
- Disconnect power to the battery charger, if equipped.
- Disconnect the engine starting battery(ies), negative lead first.
- Open the junction box; disconnect the controller at P1, J15, and J16.
- Models ECD/EFCD, EGD/EFGD, EGZD only: disconnect the CO sensor harness at the 4-pin connector.
- Remove four controller mounting screws and remove the old controller.
- ECD/EFCD, EGD/EFGD, EGZD only: install CO sensor module assembly GM46362 on the back of the new controller GM47982.
- Install the new controller and secure with the mounting screws.
- Reconnect the P1, J15, and J16 connectors; connect the CO sensor harness on applicable models.
- Models 10/13/15EG, 10/13/15ERG, 15/30RES, 15/30RYG with S/N before 2053692: cut a 1-in. section of the gray/orange lead entering pin 9 at the ECM connector.
- Check that the generator set master switch is in the OFF position.
- Reconnect the engine starting battery, negative lead last.
- Reconnect power to the battery charger, if equipped.
- Check the controller application software version and load the latest application code if necessary.
