Operator Interface
The EGCP-2 Operator Interface is designed for simplicity and redundancy of
function in all operating modes. Two backlit Liquid Crystal Display screens with
contrast adjustment are used to display various operating and status information
to the operator, as well as for tuning set points. The backlight on the LCD
screens will stay on whenever the engine speed is above 50 rpm. When the
engine is not running, the backlight will turn on whenever any key is pressed on
the front panel. The backlight will turn off after 5 minutes of non-use, when the
engine is not running. Additionally, in the event of a drop in supply voltage where
the monitored battery voltage drops below 9.0 Vdc, the LCD back light will shut
off to conserve power.
NOTE
The EGCP-2 Operator Interface can only be used for unit configuration and
monitoring. Unit start/stop, sync, or mode selection commands cannot be
given through the EGCP-2’s front panel.
WARNING—TRAINED PERSONNEL
An unsafe condition could occur with improper use of these software tools.
Only trained personnel should have access to these tools.
The unit’s front panel screens provide eight lines of Status Information, with the
option of displaying four lines of configuration or Alarm Log information. These
screens allow the user to monitor and tune related parameters at the same time.

A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) on the face of the control is used to indicate an
alarm condition by flashing repeatedly, and to indicate a shutdown condition by
staying on continuously.
