damage to the engine and to the driven components may result during engine overspeed. Engine overspeed protection is a safety feature that will take the necessary measures in order to initiate an engine shutdown in the event of an engine overspeed condition.This generator set application may be equipped with an Electronic Modular Control Panel II, an EMCP II+, or an EMCP 3 that is used to provide engine control. If one of these control panels is installed, the EMCP will perform the engine monitoring and protection functions for the engine. The control panel uses separate engine speed sensors that are located in the flywheel housing.The following engine protection is available for engine overspeed:SHUTDOWN - The only engine monitoring mode that is available for this application is the "SHUTDOWN" mode. An engine overspeed condition will initiate an engine shutdown when the EMCP is programmed to "SHUTDOWN". The generator control will instruct the ECM to stop fuel injection to the cylinders during an engine overspeed condition. This generator set may be equipped with an emergency air shutoff. If the air shutoff is available, the generator control will also activate the air shutoff solenoid. The air shutoff solenoid must be reset by cycling power to the EMCP before the engine is restarted.The above mode of operation is available at various engine speed setpoints.
