IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual contains
important instructions that should be followed during
installation and maintenance of the generator and batter-
ies.
Before operating the generator set (genset), read the
Operator’s 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 oper-
ator, service personnel, or the equipment.
This symbol warns of immediate
hazards which will result in severe personal in-
jury or death.
WARNING
This symbol refers to a hazard or un-
safe practice which can result in severe person-
al injury or death.
CAUTION
This symbol refers to a hazard or un-
safe 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, un-
less 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 arc-
ing, 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 daily for leaks per the maintenance
schedule. Make sure that exhaust manifolds are se-
cured 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, discon-
nect battery charger from its AC source, then dis-
connect 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 equip-
ment. Loose clothing and jewelry can become
caught in moving parts.
• If adjustment must be made while the unit is run-
ning, 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, explo-
sion, 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 gen-
set safely. Contact your authorized Cummins Power
Generation distributor for more information.

iv
ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH
• Remove electric power before removing protective
shields or touching electrical equipment. Use rub-
ber 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 con-
tacts 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 DIRECT-
LY TO ANY BUILDING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
Hazardous voltages can flow from the generator set
into the utility line. This creates a potential for elec-
trocution or property damage. Connect only
through an approved isolation switch or an ap-
proved 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. Im-
proper use or procedures will result in severe per-
sonal 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 autho-
rized personnel so that the equipment can be de-en-
ergized and safely grounded.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Coolants under pressure have a higher boiling point
than water. DO NOT open a radiator or heat ex-
changer pressure cap while the engine is running.
Allow the generator set to cool and bleed the system
pressure first.
• Used engine oils have been identified by some state
or federal agencies as causing cancer or reproduc-
tive toxicity. When checking or changing engine oil,
take care not to ingest, breathe the fumes, or con-
tact 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 are not left on or near the en-
gine.
• Make sure generator set is mounted in a manner to
prevent combustible materials from accumulating
under the unit.
• Remove all unnecessary grease and oil from the
unit. Accumulated grease and oil can cause over-
heating and engine damage which present a poten-
tial fire hazard.
• Keep the generator set and the surrounding area
clean and free from obstructions. Remove any de-
bris 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 un-
safe.
• Substances in exhaust gases have been identified
by some state or federal agencies as causing can-
cer 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 going near an oper-
ating generator set.
• To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot
metal parts such as radiator, turbo charger and ex-
haust system.

2. Control Operation
GENERAL
The following describes the function and operation
of the PowerCommand generator set control. All in-
dicators, control switches/buttons and graphical
display are located on the face of the control panel
as illustrated in Figure 2-1.
Normally, generator set configuration options are
set at the factory. When a new control is installed on
a generator set or when parts are replaced, the con-
trol must be configured for that generator set. Setup
and calibration procedures are described in Sec-
tion 3.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
When the PowerCommand control is in the AUTO
mode, it will cause the generator set to start on re-
ceiving a signal from a remote device. The control
will initiate a starter cranking signal and verify that
the engine is rotating. The control will provide suffi-
cient fuel to the engine to accelerate to start discon-
nect speed. On reaching that speed, the control will
ramp the generator set to idle (warm-up) or rated
speed and voltage.
On reaching rated speed and voltage, the control
checks the system bus voltage. If no bus voltage is
present, it will wait for a pulse from a remote Master
First Start Sensor. On receiving that pulse, the con-
trol will signal the paralleling breaker to close.
If bus voltage is present, the control will check for
proper phase rotation, adjust the generator set to
the bus voltage and frequency level, and then syn-
chronize the generator set to the system bus. When
a synchronous condition is achieved, the control will
send a signal to close the paralleling breaker.
When the paralleling breaker is closed, the genera-
tor set will assume it’s proportional share of the total
load on the system bus.
CONTROL PANEL POWER ON/OFF
MODES
The power on/off modes of the control panel and op-
erating software are Power On, Screen Saver and
Sleep/Awake.
Power On Mode: In this mode, power is continu-
ously supplied to the control panel. The control’s
operating software and control panel LEDs/graphi-
cal display will remain active until the Screen Saver
mode is activated.

2-2
Screen Saver Mode: Power to the graphical dis-
play will be removed after 10 minutes (generator set
not running or running). The 10 minute timer resets
and begins after each control panel action (any but-
ton or switch selection) or signal received by the op-
erating software. The bottom LEDs of the Analog
AC Metering Panel (bar graphs) may remain on dur-
ing Screen Saver mode, indicating that the operat-
ing software is active (Awake mode).
When a “Warning” signal is sensed by the PCC (for
example, low coolant temp), the control will display
the warning message. The control will remain active
until the Fault Acknowledge button is pressed to
clear the warning message and start the 10 minute
timer.
Sleep/Awake Mode: In the Sleep mode, the con-
trol’s operating software is inactive and the LEDs
and the graphical display on the control panel are all
off. Sleep mode is a feature that is used to reduce
battery power consumption when the control is in
the Auto mode and is not being used.
When all conditions are met (i.e., no unacknowl-
edged faults, Screen Saver Mode is active, and O/
Manual/Auto switch is in the Auto position) the
Sleep mode will be activated.
The operating software is initialized and the control
panel LEDs and graphical display is turned on in re-
sponse to one of the following:
• moving/pressing any control panel switch/but-
ton.
• a remote start input signal (generator set in
Auto mode), or
• customer fault 2 or 3 only (shutdown or warning
indicator is on).
To activate the control and view the menu display
without starting the generator set, press any button
on the control panel.
The InPower service tool is required to enable or
disable the Sleep mode. When shipped from the
factory, the Sleep mode is disabled. When disabled,
the operating software will always remain active
(Awake mode) when the control is in Auto mode.
InPower service tool is required to selected desired
mode.
