The manual outlines the operation and maintenance procedures for Cummins PowerStart 0500 generator sets with X1.3 and X2.5 engines. It discusses the control panel, circuit board, troubleshooting, setup and calibration procedures, as well as servicing different generator components.

The main components discussed include the engine, alternator, control panel, circuit board, and various generator parts like the excitor stator, excitor rectifier bridge, and main stator.

The manual outlines safety precautions regarding fuel and fumes being flammable, providing adequate exhaust, and working near batteries which emit explosive hydrogen gas.

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.

Engine Connector

The engine connector (J16) is a 12 pin connector-plug (12 MINI M-N-L). A possible supplier is
Molex; their part number is 39299123. The Cummins part number for this connector is 0323-2589. The PCB outline
drawing shows where the connector is located as above .Each signal is described as below –

CT Connector

The CT connector is a 6- pin MATE-N-LOCK connector. The possible manufacturer is Tyco, and the supplier part
number for the part is 643749-1. The Cummins part number for this connector is 0323-2154. Connector details are as
follows –

Voltage Connector

The voltage connection is via a 4 pin header with alternate spaces between the pins. The possible supplier is Tyco
with the supplier part number as 282828-4. The Cummins part number for the same is 0323-2225-03.

Customer Connections TB2

The customer connection TB2 is a 6 pin terminal block. The possible supplier is Magnum:
The terminal pins details are as shown below-

TB2-2 Glow Plug Output Relay Driver
(Low Side)
TB2-3 Customer Output Relay Driver
(Low Side)
TB2-4 Customer Input
TB2-5 E-Stop
TB2-6 NC

All the inputs are active GND. And outputs are low side drivers. Remote E-Stop switch should have two independent
potential free contacts. One NC contact for cutting out the Battery supply to the Fuel Solenoid and another NC contact
to disconnect controller’s E-Stop input from GND to indicate to the control when the E-Stop is pushed in active state.

Battery Positive is not provided on the Customer terminal block (TB2). External provision needs to be made in the
harness to provide fused B+ via a 1 amp fuse for wiring up external relays. External Relays of suitable contact ratings
must be used for controlling FSO, Starter, Customer Output and Glow plug.

PC Tool Connector
The PC tool connector is a dedicated 5 pin connector header block. The possible supplier is Tyco, with the supplier
part numbers are 796643-5. The Cummins part number for the same is 0323-2191-04.

SECTION 6 – 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.

Capture File
Use InPower to save the current settings in a capture file on a PC or network. You can use the capture file to look at
the current settings while you are away from the PS0500 or to restore settings if you have to reset the PS0500 for any
reason. See the InPower User Guide for more information.

While InPower can be used with the PS0500 for facilitating the setup, it is not essential for carrying out the basic setup
operations. The basic setup can be performed directly from the control panel of PS0500. Following paragraphs
Describe the process of carrying out basic setup from the control panel.

Entering and leaving the 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. Pressing ← button while in Main Menu
exits the setup mode. Navigation through the setup menus is described further in a separate section later.

MENU Description
Tables 6.1 to 6.18 show a summary of the menus offered on the control panel of the PS0500.

Navigation
The manual (↑), Reset (↓ //), OK (→) and Auto (←) buttons are used for navigation during the setup. As long as
setup mode is not exited these buttons will only act as arrow keys. The RED Stop lamp flashes at twice the
normal rate as long as the setup mode is not exited and the control is not returned to STOP mode.

Navigation Example

Main Excitation Windings:

If after establishing and correcting any fault on the rectifier assembly the output is still low when separately excited,
then the main rotor, exciter stator and exciter rotor winding resistances should be checked (see Resistance Charts),
as the fault must be in one of these windings. The exciter stator resistance is measured across leads F1 and F2.
The exciter rotor is connected to six studs, which also carry the diode lead terminals. The main rotor winding is
connected across the two rectifier plates. The respective leads must be disconnected before taking the readings.

Resistance values should be within 10% of the values given in the table below
