BREAKER CONTROL OUTPUT.
A. Turn the Engine Control Switch (ECS) to STOP. B. Locate the wire that connects pin 37 on the
GSC+P to terminal SIAR-10 on the System in Auto Relay.
C. Remove the wire from terminal SIAR-10 only. The
GSC+P remains connected to the wire.
D. Measure the voltage at pin 37 on the GSC+P. Expected Result:
The voltage should measure 5.2 ± 1.0 DCV.
Results:
•
OK – The voltage measures 5.2 ± 1.0 DCV. The voltage is correct. Proceed to Test Step 2.•
NOT OK – The voltage is less than 4.2 DCV or the voltage greater than 6.2 DCV.Repair: The GSC+P may have failed. It is unlikely
that the GSC+P has failed. Exit this procedure and perform this entire procedure again. If the problem remains, replace the GSC+P. Refer to Testing And Adjusting, “EMCP Electronic Control (Generator Set) - Replace”.
STOP.
Test Step 2. CHECK THE ACTIVE
VOLTAGE LEVEL OF THE CLOSE
BREAKER OUTPUT.
A. The wire from terminal SIAR-10 on the parallel
mode switch remains disconnected.
B. Start the engine and run the engine. C. Perform the Manual Paralleling function.
If necessary, refer to Systems Operation, “Synchronization Sequence Of Operation”.
D. Manually bring the engine into synchronization
with the bus. The synchroscope pointer will be at the top center position. This position indicates a phase angle of zero degrees.
Expected Result:
When the “IN SYNC” symbol is turned ON, the voltage level of the close breaker control output should read 0.0 ± 1.0 DCV.
Results:
•
OK – The voltage level is 0.0 ± 1.0 DCV. The voltage level is correct. The GSC+P is operating correctly. The problem is in the wiring or a component that is connected to the close breaker control output.Repair: Use the information about the FMI and the
system schematic for the close breaker control output to find the exact cause of the diagnostic code.
STOP.
•
NOT OK – The voltage level is not 0.0 ± 1.0 DCV. The voltage level is NOT correct.Repair: The GSC+P may have failed. It is unlikely
that the GSC+P has failed. Exit this procedure and perform this entire procedure again. If the problem remains, replace the GSC+P. Refer to Testing And Adjusting, “EMCP Electronic Control (Generator Set) - Replace”.

GSC CID 0858 - FMI 04
SMCS Code: 1420-035
Conditions Which Generate This Code:
The close breaker output drives the Circuit Breaker Permissive Relay (CBPR). The CBPR activates the Circuit Breaker Close Relay (CBCR) which energizes the circuit breaker close coil on the circuit breaker, closing the breaker connecting the generator to the bus. The inactive level of this output is floating (may range from approximately 5.2 DCV to battery positive), and the active level is at battery negative (“BATT-”).
For Automatic Synchronization, the close breaker output is pulsed active for a programmed period of time according to setpoint P302. As long as synchronization conditions are met, the close breaker output will be activated repeatedly at one second intervals until the breaker sensor input indicates the generator circuit breaker is closed or setpoint P314, Maximum Synchronization Time is exceeded. For Permissive synchronization, the Close Breaker Output will be held active as long as synchronization conditions are met.
A possible cause of a CID 0858 FMI 04 is a short to (“BATT-”) of the Close Breaker Output signal. A CID 0858 FMI 04 is only detected when the GSC+P is NOT activating the Close Breaker Output. The GSC+P treats a CID 0858 FMI 04 as an alarm fault. CID 0858 FMI 04 will cause the GSC+P to stop the synchronization process until the diagnostic code is cleared and corrected.
Test Step 1. CHECK THE INACTIVE
VOLTAGE LEVEL OF THE CLOSE
BREAKER OUTPUT.
A. Turn the “ECS” switch to STOP.
B. Locate the wire that connects pin 37 on the
GSC+P and terminal SIAR-10 on the System in Auto Relay.
C. Remove the wire from terminal SIAR-10 on the
System in Auto Relay only. GSC+P remains connected to the wire.
D. Use a cable probe to measure the voltage at pin
37 on the GSC+P to BATT-.
Expected Result:
The voltage should measure 5.2 ± 1.0 DCV.
Results:
•
OK – The voltage measures 5.2 ± 1.0 DCV. The voltage is correct. Proceed to test step 2.•
NOT OK – The voltage is below 5.2 ± 1.0 DCV.Repair: The GSC+P may have failed. It is unlikely
that the GSC+P has failed. Exit this procedure and perform this entire procedure again. If the problem remains, replace the GSC+P. Refer to Testing And Adjusting, “EMCP Electronic Control (Generator Set) - Replace”.
STOP.
