  • Safety Precautions SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the generator set and batteries. Before operating the generator set (genset), read the Operators Manual and become familiar with it and the equipment.

    Safe and efficient operation can be achieved only if the equipment is properly operated and maintained.

    Many accidents are caused by failure to follow fundamental rules and precautions. The following symbols, found throughout this manual, alert you to potentially dangerous conditions to the operator, service personnel, or the equipment

    DANGER This symbol warns of immediate hazards which will result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING This symbol refers to a hazard or unsafe practice which can result in severe personal injury or death.

    CAUTION This symbol refers to a hazard or unsafe practice which can result in personal injury or product or property damage.

    FUEL AND FUMES ARE FLAMMABLE Fire, explosion, and personal injury or death can result from improper practices.

    DO NOT fill fuel tanks while engine is running, unless tanks are outside the engine compartment. Fuel contact with hot engine or exhaust is a potential fire hazard.

    DO NOT permit any flame, cigarette, pilot light, spark, arcing equipment, or other ignition source near the generator set or fuel tank.

    Fuel lines must be adequately secured and free of leaks. Fuel connection at the engine should be made with an approved flexible line. Do not use zinc coated or copper fuel lines with diesel fuel.

    Be sure all fuel supplies have a positive shutoff valve. Be sure battery area has been well-ventilated prior to servicing near it. Lead-acid batteries emit a highly explosive hydrogen gas that can be ignited by arcing, sparking, smoking, etc.

    EXHAUST GASES ARE DEADLY Provide an adequate exhaust system to properly expel discharged gases away from enclosed or sheltered areas and areas where individuals are likely to congregate. Visually and audibly inspect the exhaust for leaks daily or per the maintenance schedule. Make sure that exhaust manifolds are secured and not warped. Do not use exhaust gases to heat a compartment.

    Be sure the unit is well ventilated. Engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm.

    MOVING PARTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH

    Keep your hands, clothing, and jewelry away from moving parts. Before starting work on the generator set, disconnect battery charger from its

  • AC source, then disconnect starting batteries, negative () cable first. This will prevent accidental starting. Make sure that fasteners on the generator set are secure. Tighten supports and clamps, keep guards in position over fans, drive belts, etc. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry in the vicinity of moving parts, or while working on electrical equipment. Loose clothing and jewelry can become caught in moving parts. If adjustment must be made while the unit is running, use extreme caution around hot manifolds, moving parts, etc.

    DO NOT OPERATE IN FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS Flammable vapor can cause an engine to overspeed and become difficult to stop, resulting in possible fire, explosion, severe personal injury and death. Do not operate a genset where a flammable vapor environment can be created by fuel spill, leak, etc., unless the genset is equipped with an automatic safety device to block the air intake and stop the engine. The owners and operators of the genset are solely responsible for operating the genset safely. Contact your authorized Cummins Power Generation distributor for more information.

    ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH Remove electric power before removing protective shields or touching electrical equipment. Use rubber insulative mats placed on dry wood platforms over floors that are metal or concrete when around electrical equipment. Do not wear damp clothing (particularly wet shoes) or allow skin surface to be damp when handling electrical equipment. Do not wear jewelry. Jewelry can short out electrical contacts and cause shock or burning.

    Use extreme caution when working on electrical components. High voltages can cause injury or death. DO NOT tamper with interlocks. Follow all applicable state and local electrical codes. Have all electrical installations performed by a qualified licensed electrician. Tag and lock open switches to avoid accidental closure.

    DO NOT CONNECT GENERATOR SET DIRECTLY TO ANY BUILDING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Hazardous voltages can flow from the generator set into the utility line. This creates a potential for electrocution or property damage. Connect only through an approved isolation switch or an approved paralleling device.

    MEDIUM VOLTAGE GENERATOR SETS (601V to 15kV)

    Medium voltage acts differently than low voltage. Special equipment and training is required to work on or around medium voltage equipment. Operation and maintenance must be done only by persons trained and qualified to work on such devices. Improper use or procedures will result in severe personal injury or death. Do not work on energized equipment. Unauthorized personnel must not be permitted near energized equipment. Due to the nature of medium voltage electrical equipment, induced voltage remains even after the equipment is disconnected from the power source. Plan the time for maintenance with authorized personnel so that the equipment can be deenergized and safely grounded. GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Coolants under pressure have a higher boiling point than water. DO NOT open a radiator or heat exchanger pressure cap while the engine is running. To prevent severe scalding,

  • let engine cool down before removing coolant pressure cap. Turn cap slowly, and do not open it fully until the pressure has been relieved. Used engine oils have been identified by some state or federal agencies as causing cancer or reproductive toxicity. When checking or changing engine oil, take care not to ingest, breathe the fumes, or contact used oil.

    Keep multi-class ABC fire extinguishers handy. Class A fires involve ordinary combustible materials such as wood and cloth; Class B fires, combustible and flammable liquid fuels and gaseous fuels; Class C fires, live electrical equipment. (ref. NFPA No. 10). Make sure that rags or combustible material are not left on or near the generator set. Make sure generator set is mounted in a manner to prevent combustible materials from accumulating under or near the unit. Remove all unnecessary grease and oil from the unit. Accumulated grease and oil can cause overheating and engine damage which present a potential fire hazard. Keep the generator set and the surrounding area clean and free from obstructions. Remove any debris from the set and keep the floor clean and dry. Do not work on this equipment when mentally or physically fatigued, or after consuming any alcohol or drug that makes the operation of equipment unsafe. Substances in exhaust gases have been identified by some state or federal agencies as causing cancer or reproductive toxicity. Take care not to breath or ingest or come into contact with exhaust gases.

    Do not store any flammable liquids, such as fuel, cleaners, oil, etc., near the

    generator set. A fire or explosion could result. Wear hearing protection when near an operating generator set. To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as radiator system, turbo charger system and exhaust system.

    OK This button is used mainly in Setup mode to select menu items. It is also used to Pause / Resume the scrolling of the parameter frames.

  • MODES OF OPERATION

    The mode of operation determines the ways the Genset can be started and stopped. The PS0500 runs in one of these modes at any given time.

    Table 2-3 explains how to change the mode of operation.

    Stop (Off) Mode

    Pressing the STOP button will always put the PS0500 in STOP mode and the RED LED above the STOP button will start blinking.

    In this mode, the PS0500 does not allow the genset to start / Crank.

    If the genset is running (either in Manual or Auto Mode) when the Stop button is pressed, the PS0500 stops the genset and enters in the STOP mode.

    Setup Mode

    The Setup mode can be entered only from Stop mode when the genset is not running. This is accomplished by holding the Reset and the OK buttons pressed for 5 seconds continuously while in stop mode. The RED Stop Led flashes faster (double the normal rate) as long as the control is in setup mode. While in setup mode, pressing Start or Stop button has no effect. Exiting from setup mode will return the control to STOP mode.

    In the setup mode, a Menu driven setup process is available for making adjustments that are allowed to be made from the control panel. Set up process is described in detail in a separate section later in this manual.

    Auto Mode

    Pressing the Auto Button while the PS0500 is in the STOP mode will put the PS0500 in AUTO Mode. Pressing Auto Button while the PS0500 is

    in Manual Mode (Running or Not Running) has no effect.

    WARNING In Auto mode, the genset can start at any time. NEVER service the genset in Auto mode. Accidental starting of the genset during troubleshooting can cause severe personal injury or death. Disable the genset before troubleshooting.

    When the remote start signal becomes active, the PS0500 initiates the start sequence to start the genset. The PS0500 continues to run as long as the signal is active. When the Remote Start signal becomes inactive the PS0500 initiates a normal stop sequence.

    Pressing the Stop button shall always deactivate the FSO immediately.

    Remote Start Signal This signal will start the Genset when these conditions are met.

    The PS0500 is in Auto mode There are no active shutdown faults

    This signal comes typically from a transfer switch or an external toggle switch.

    Manual Mode

    Pressing the Manual Button while the PS0500 is in the Stop Mode will put the PS0500 in the Manual Mode.

    In this mode, the genset is controlled manually. Pressing the Start button initiates a Manual Start sequence. Remote start signal has no effect.

    Note: If you do not press the Start button in ten seconds, the PS0500 changes over to STOP (Off) mode.

    Pressing the Stop button initiates a stop sequence.

    Power-Down Mode

    The PS0500 can enter power-down or sleep mode, to reduce load on batteries when not being used.

  • PS0500 Power-down Mode Table 2-4 shows how much current the PS0500 control module consumes in normal operation and in power-down mode.

    TABLE 2-4. PS0500 CURRENT CONSUMPTION PS0500 MODE CURRENT Normal operation 350 mA Power-down < 5 mA

    The PS0500 enters power-down mode when these conditions are met.

    The genset is not running. The Power down Mode Time Delay has expired. There is no active communication on the RS-485 communication link. There are no active faults There are no active Wake Up signals present.

    In power-down mode, the microprocessor in the control stops, thereby reducing the consumption from battery.

    Wake Up Signals

    The PS0500 wakes up from power-down mode when any of these wakeup signals becomes active. Tool wakeup input (TB15 pin 5) is grounded. he Reset button on the Control Panel is pressed Remote Start Signal (Typically, to a transfer switch) is low.

    SEQUENCES OF OPERATION

    Sequences of operation describe the way the PS0500 starts the genset or stops the genset. This is illustrated in Figure 2-7.

    Genset Running

    Stop Sequence

    FIGURE 2-7. Sequence of operation

    Start Sequences The PS0500 follows different start sequences depending on its setup and conditions. If a start sequence is interrupted for any reason except a shutdown fault (for example, the remote start signal becomes inactive), the PS0500 aborts the start sequence and initiates a Stop sequence.

    Remote Start This sequence begins when these conditions are met.

    The PS0500 is in Auto mode. The remote start signal is active, There are no active shutdown faults. This sequence is shown in Figure 2-8.

    Genset Running

    FIGURE 2-8. Remote Start Sequence

    In this sequence, the PS0500 follows these steps to start the engine. 1. The PS0500 waits until Start Time Delay expires.

    If the trim Glow Plug Enable is set to Enabled, the PS0500 turns on the Glow Plug Control output. The PS0500 turns off the Glow Plug Output when Glow Plug Timeout Period expires.

    The PS0500 does not proceed to crank until both Start Time Delay expires and the Glow Plug Output is turned off.

    2. The PS0500 turns on the fuel shutoff (FSO) output and the Starter Output.

    Cycle Cranking he starter turns on for Cycle Crank Engage

    Time and turns off for Cycle Crank Rest Time. The starter repeats this process up to Crank Attempts times.

    The PS0500 turns OFF the Starter Output and keeps it OFF when,

    The Genset Frequency is >= Starter Disconnect Speed / Frequency Speed gain,

    (Example: Typically the starter disconnect speed is set to 450 RPM. In case off a four pole alternator the value of the Frequency speed gain is set to 30. So the genset frequency at which the starter disengagement happens would be calculated as 450 / 30 = 15Hz)

    OR The Battery Charging Alt Voltage >= Start Disconnect threshold

    If the genset frequency does not reach the start disconnect threshold (15 Hz in above example) before PS0500 finishes the cranking cycle, then it generates shutdown fault 359 (Fail To start).

    The PS0500 waits for the Genset to reach the rated frequency and voltage. If that does not happen within 10 seconds from the starter disconnect, the PS0500 generates Shutdown Fault 2335 (loss of AC Sensing).

    Manual Start This sequence begins when these conditions are met. The PS0500 is in Manual mode and the Start button is pressed. There are no active shutdown faults. This sequence is shown in Figure 2-9.

    In this sequence, the PS0500 follows these steps to start the engine.

    1. If the trim Glow Plug Enable is set to Enabled, the PS0500 turns on the Glow Plug Control output. The PS0500 turns off the Glow Plug Output when Glow Plug Timeout Period expires.

    The PS0500 does not proceed to crank until the Glow Plug Output is turned off.

    2. The PS0500 turns ON the fuel shutoff (FSO) output and the Starter Output.

    The cycle cranking process as explained above is followed in Manual Mode also.

    Genset Running (Ready to Load)

    The PS0500 enters the Genset Running (Ready to Load) state when the genset frequency and voltage are both >= 90 percent of the nominal frequency and nominal voltage respectively.

    Meter Calibration

    When running in Manual Mode, the control allows meter calibration process to be invoked, when the Genset Running (Ready to Load) state is reached. The Meter Calibration process is invoked by holding the Reset and OK buttons pressed for 5 seconds continuously. The process allows the arrow keys to be used for adjusting the displayed alternator AC Voltage / Current values to actual values (as measured using an independent calibrated instrument) one by one.

    The Meter Calibration Process is available when running the genset in Manual Mode only.

    Nominal Voltage and Frequency

    The PS0500 does not have the control of the genset frequency (speed) and the genset voltage.

    The nominal voltage and the nominal frequency set-up parameters are used only for calculation of the over voltage, under voltage, over frequency and under frequency fault thresholds and determining if the Genset Running (Ready to Load) state has been reached as described above.

    Stop Sequences

    The PS0500 follows different stop sequences depending on its setup and conditions.

    Auto Mode In Auto mode the stop sequence begins when these conditions are met. The genset is running at rated speed and voltage The remote start signal is inactive. There are no active shutdown faults.

  • The Genset will continue to run for the Stop Delay time and then the FSO Output will be deactivated by the PS0500.

    Manual Mode

    In Manual mode the stop sequence begins when these conditions are met. The genset is running at rated speed and voltage The Stop button has been pressed. There are no active shutdown faults.

    The FSO Output will be deactivated by the PS0500 immediately when the Stop button is pressed.

    Fault Shutdown

    In Manual as well as Auto mode, the FSO Output will be deactivated by the PS0500 immediately when any of the shutdown faults becomes active.

  • 3. Setup and Calibration

    Read Safety Precautions, and carefully observe all of the instructions and precautions in this manual.

    CAUTION: Only qualified technicians should adjust the parameters described in this section. Failure to follow this may affect genset operation and may cause damage to the genset or to equipment connected to the genset.

    In this section, italics are used to identify a specific parameter by name.

    PARAMETERS

    See Section 4 for more information about parameters that you can adjust in the Operator Panel.

  • 6. Troubleshooting

    GENERAL The PS0500 control continuously monitors engine sensors for abnormal conditions, such as low oil pressure and high coolant temperature. If any of these conditions occur, the control will light a yellow warning lamp or a red shutdown lamp and display a message on the LCD display.

    PC BASED SERVICE TOOL The PC based service tool can be used in troubleshooting to perform tests, verify control inputs and outputs, and test protective functions.

    When used improperly, a PC based service tool can cause symptoms like warnings and shutdowns that appear to be a defective control. When these problems occur, always verify that a self-test or fault simulation (override) have not been left enabled with the tool. If you do not have a PC based service tool, or the enabled fault simulation(s) can not be found using the tool, disconnect battery power to disable the test or override condition.

    Make sure that parameter adjustments and time delays, related to the fault condition, have been appropriately set for the application. It may be necessary to write the initial capture file to the device or update the calibration file. Updating a calibration file requires a Pro version of many of PC based service tools. Confirm that the installed calibration part number matches the serial plate information.

    CAUTION Using the wrong capture file can result in equipment damage. Do not swap Controls from another genset model and only use the calibration file shown on the nameplate.

    SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS WARNING Contacting high voltage components can cause electrocution,

    resulting in severe personal injury or death.

    Keep the output box covers in place during Trouble shooting.

    WARNING Ignition of explosive battery gases can cause severe personal injury or death. Arcing at battery terminals, light switch or other equipment, flame, pilot lights and sparks can ignite battery gas. Do not smoke, or switch trouble light ON or OFF near battery. Discharge static electricity from body before touching batteries by first touching a grounded metal surface.

    Ventilate battery area before working on or near batteryWear gogglesStop genset and disconnect charger before disconnecting battery cablesDisconnect negative (-) cable first and reconnect last.

    CAUTION Disconnect battery charger from AC source before disconnecting battery cables.

    READING FAULT CODES The fault code and message can be viewed on the display. After the fault is acknowledged and corrected, the recorded fault will be deleted from the control panel memory, but will remain in a data log to maintain a fault code history. A PC based service tool is required to view this data log.

    TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE

    The following tables are a guide to help you evaluate problems with the generator set. You can save time if you read through the manual ahead of time and understand the system.

    Voltage/Continuity Testing Voltage and continuity tests are required in the following tables. In some cases, it is necessary to remove a plug to complete the test. Where required, the corrective action

  • will mention when it is necessary to remove a plug for testing. In other cases, the plug cannot be removed for testing. When plug removal is not mentioned, testing must be performed by inserting a narrow meter probe into the back of the plug.

    TABLE 20-1. ENGINE DOES NOT CRANK IN MANUAL MODE

    Reason: This indicates that the control has not received or recognized a manual start signal. Effect: Engine will not start. POSSIBLE CAUSE

    CORRECTIVE ACTION

    1. No power supplied to control

    Check if the control is in Manual mode and when the Start button is pressed, and that there are no shutdown faults present.

    Poor battery cable connections. Clean the battery cable terminals and tighten all connections.

    Check for blown fuses.

    Remove connector P16 and check for B+ at P16-12 and GND at P16-5. If B+ or ground missing, check the harness. If B+ and ground check OK, cycle power to control by reconnecting P16. Press Reset Button to wake the control up. And retry operation.

    2. Control not properly calibrated or corrupt calibration.

    Confirm that the installed calibration part number matches the serial plate information. Re-enter calibration file if necessary.

    3. The Emergency Stop switch or wiring is defective.

    With Emergency Stop push button not activated (switch closed), remove leads from TB2-5 and B- and check for continuity between these two leads. If circuit is open, isolate to Emergency Stop switch and wiring. If there is continuity, go to next step.

    5. Oil Pressure switch or wiring is defective

    Remove P16 connection and check wiring between P16-9 and P16-11 to the switch. Verify control is configured for the type of sensor installed. Verify proper operation of the switch

    6. Oil Pressure sender, setup on wiring is defective.

    Remove P16 connection and check wiring between P16-9, P16-11 to the sender. Verify control is configured for the type of sender. Verify operation of the sender

    TABLE 20-2. ENGINE DOES NOT CRANK IN REMOTE MODE Reason: This indicates that the PS0500 control has not received or recognized a remote start signal. Effect: Engine will not start in remote mode, but starts in manual mode. POSSIBLE CAUSE

    CORRECTIVE ACTION

    1. The remote start switch or wiring is faulty.

    Check if the control is in Auto mode and there are no shutdown faults present. Attempt to start, and check for ground at TB2-1. If ground level is not present, isolate to the remote switch or wiring. Repair as necessary.

    If ground level is present then the control is bad. Replace the control

    Check oil level, lines and filters. If oil system is OK but oil level is low, replenish.

    3. Sensor or oil pump could be bad. Or the generator set may be shutting down on another fault.

    Disconnect the oil pressure sensor leads, and connect an oil pressure sensor simulator to the harness.

    a. If the control responds to the simulator, reconnect the sensor, disconnect the + signal wire at the fuel solenoid, and crank the engine. Check the oil pressure reading on the digital display.

    If the display shows an acceptable oil pressure, the

    problem may not be in the oil or oil sensing system. The genset may be shutting down on another fault (out of fuel, intermittent connector). Restart the genset and monitor the display panel for other faults.

    If the display does not show an acceptable oil pressure, replace the sensor. If the Control still doesnt display an oil pressure while cranking, the oil pump may be bad. Refer to the engine service manual.

    b. If the control does not respond to the simulator, go to next step.

    4. Harness or Control could be bad.

    If the control does not respond to the simulator, the Control or the harness is bad. Check the resistance in P16-9 and P16-11 (Sensor COMM). If the resistance signal (100 to 33 Ohm) does not get to P16, isolate to the harness. If the resistance does go to P16, the Control is bad.

    5. Low Oil Pressure fault set points could be incorrect.

    Verify set points against the normal operating pressures of the engine. Refer to engine manual.
