General Start-up Instructions
Before Starting the Generator Set
Before starting the generator set, configure the tuning set points in the EGCP-2
for values which best match the machines operating and performance
characteristics. Double-check these values prior to starting the unit.
Verify Proper wiring to the EGCP-2. Check the following items for proper polarity
and configuration:
 Power Supply Input
 Generator CT Inputs
 Generator PT Inputs
 Mains and Bus PT Inputs
 Magnetic Pickup Input
 Voltage Bias Output
 Speed Bias Output
Once these items have been checked for proper polarity, check the power supply
voltage for proper amplitude. When this is confirmed, apply the power supply to
the EGCP-2.
With the EGCP-2 powered up, the unit will go through a RAM test, and after a
self check period, will display the System Status Screen. If the control fails to
power up properly, remove the power supply input and re-check the polarity and
amplitude of the voltage feeding the EGCP-2 Control.
With the EGCP-2 powered, go to the I/O Status Display in the Status screens.
This display shows the state of the various discrete inputs and outputs of the
control. Monitor this screen and close the discrete inputs to the EGCP-2 that are
being used in this particular application. Verify that the EGCP-2 recognizes these
inputs in the I/O Status screen.
Verify that the Speed Bias and Voltage Bias outputs are at the proper levels for
the devices being used.
Make sure that a means exist of performing an emergency stop prior
to starting the unit. Check the emergency stop devices to make sure
they are functioning properly prior to starting the unit.
