Press UP or DOWN arrow to change the four-quadrant status display screen to a nine-quadrant status display
screen. This option is useful when floats or a transducer is being used in the pump application.
Press the UP or DOWN arrow again to toggle back to the four-quadrant engine status display screen.
In some cases, a quadrant may contain more than one parameter. For instance, if Current RPM is selected, both
Current RPM and Requested RPM will display, providing that J1939 or Pulse Inc/Dec are chosen as the Throttle
type. If None is chosen as a Throttle type, only Current RPM will display.
In another example, the oil temperature gauge and the fuel level gauge share a single gauge. The gauge only
displays the parameters if a sender is configured. If only an oil temperature sender is configured, only oil
temperature is displayed. If only a fuel level sender is configured, only the fuel level is displayed. If both an oil
temperature and a fuel level are configured then both values are displayed in the same gauge.
Figure 3
Nine-Quadrant Engine Status Display Screen

Maintenance Timers
A maximum of 32 events can be stored in memory. See the section “Clearing the Event History” on page 417 for
the procedure to clear the event history memory.
When normal maintenance is performed on the engine, the maintenance timers must be reset on the PrimeGuard
2 Controller. Changing the oil and filters does not automatically reset the timers. This activity must be performed
in the Controller (see page 40). As soon as the maintenance timers have been reset, the top line of the Maint.
Timers display indicates the total engine hours and the parts lines (Oil Life, etc.) indicate the number of hours
remaining until the next service period (250.0 hours, as recommended by Godwin). As the engine runs, the life
hours of the maintenance parameters decrease. An alarm sounds when the maintenance alarm counters reach
the routine maintenance limit. The timers are only affected when the engine is actually running.

GP10 does not allow you to change from manual to automatic (for using floats or transducers), but does allow for
changing level or pressure settings once the Controller has been programmed for a level or pressure transducer.
The rationale for the lower level of access is that some end users may need to make adjustments to the above
parameters but do not need (and perhaps should not have) access to all programming parameters. Full
programming access (via GP44) can be reserved for the owner of the equipment.
This section contains information on programming the PrimeGuard 2 Controller via the parameter menus and
options. It is intended to familiarize you with the commonly programmed activities for the PrimeGuard 2
Controller. Tasks will be presented in step-by-step sequences.
NOTE: It is very important to view the display screen before making any programming changes to ensure that the
display has not been accidentally moved to another parameter menu.

MANUAL ONLY, the engine is started and stopped using the START and STOP buttons on the Controller. The
engine speed is adjusted by the controller’s INC and DEC buttons.
PrimeGuard 2 Controllers are preset to a maximum speed of 2,000 RPM, which is more than sufficient for most
pumping applications. The INC and DEC buttons located on the face of the Controller raises and lowers the
speed of the engine to the preset maximum and minimum settings. Maximum and minimum running speeds can
only be changed by editing their respective parameters. The parameters for engine speed are located on the

Pressure transducers are typically used in applications where line pressure is monitored to start and stop the
pumpset. An example would be a standby fire pump system. The pressure transducer reads the pump discharge
line pressure. Low and high-pressure parameters are programmed into the Controller to start and stop the pump
automatically, based on transducer readings.
The transducer signal is read in the Controller by an analog input in the Controller, which is programmed to match
the rating of the transducer for accurate pressure readings. Pressure ratings for transducers are normally
displayed on the side of the transducer.

Level transducers are typically used in applications where a sump is to be lowered as liquid levels rise. The
transducer placed at the bottom reads the static or head pressure of the liquid on top of it. When the static
pressure rises to a pre-programmed level (signaling a high level in the sump), the pumpset is turned on. As the
liquid level decreases in the sump, likewise the static pressure on the transducer will lower to a pre-programmed
stop point.
Level transducers are typically rated in pounds per square inch (psi), which is displayed on the transducer. The
parameter in the PrimeGuard 2 Controller for level transducer ratings is measured in feet. Therefore, the psi
rating of the level transducer must be converted to feet head.
The level transducer communicates with the Controller over the same ANALOG INPUT parameter as
PRESSURE; however a different option is selected (see sequence that follows).

Electrical Specifications
The PrimeGuard 2 Controller is shipped fully assembled. The following section defines the electrical connections
inside the Controller. It is not recommended that service be performed on the wiring of the Controller without
consulting Godwin.
Terminal Blocks – There are two (2) 20 position terminal blocks behind the PrimeGuard 2 hinged door (Fig.43).
The terminal blocks are intended for particular applications requiring the additional inputs and outputs the
PrimeGuard 2 controller is capable of providing. The terminal blocks have access to wiring through the black
liquid tight connector on the bottom of the controller. Recommended terminal for wiring to the terminal blocks are
#6 spade terminals with a torque spec of 9in-lbs.
TB1 – Terminal block number 1 (TB1) is setup for outputs including either four (4) or six (6) Form C relays rated
at 10A each depending on the engine and manufacturer. Based on engine and manufacturer used, there
may be two (2) ground sinking outputs dedicated for throttling the engine located on TB1 as well.
TB2 – Terminal block number 2 (TB2) has a variety of inputs and outputs available depending on the engine and
manufacturer. TB2 incorporates a 0-5V Analog Output, RS485, Analog Inputs, Digital Input, Switched
Battery +V, Ground -V, Analog Common, and magnetic pickup signal input.
K7 & K8 – Relays 7 (K7) & 8 (K8) are 20A Form C relays located above TB1 and TB2 behind the PrimeGuard 2
hinged door. There are three ¼” blade-type push-on terminals for each: 1) Normally open, 2) Normally
closed, and 3) Common. These contact outputs are dry.

Analog Inputs -Analog inputs have current sources for driving standard resistive senders. For best accuracy
and most noise immunity, senders should be of the two-wire type, with the return wire coming back to the analog
common (AN COM) position on the terminal block.
NOTE: Godwin recommends the use of two wire senders, with the sender return connected to the analog
channel. If single ended senders are used, with ground provided at the sender itself, there can be a number of
problems that may or may not affect any given installation. Since the sensor provides sender ground, the use of
insulating-type thread tapes and compounds may give erratic operation. Additionally, the grounds may not be
common and there always exists a greatly increased chance for noise and interference to affect the Controller
operation.
Relays – Relays may be re-assigned to any other desired function from the front panel.
When connecting to any of the inputs or outputs of the terminal blocks it is recommended to use a commercially
available #6 spade terminal sized for the appropriate sized AWG wire. Reference (Fig.44) below.
Figure 44
When connecting to Relay 7 and Relay 8 it is recommended to use a commercially available ¼” female quick-
disconnect push-on terminal sized for the appropriate sized AWG wire. Reference (Fig. 45) below.

PrimeGuard 2 Controller Operations Manual for Electronic Diesels
This section contains detailed information on operating conditions and the parameters and options of the
PrimeGuard 2 Controller.
The Controller is installed in three types of diesel engines: mechanical and electronic Tier II, Tier III, and Tier IV.
Tier II, Tier III, and Tier IV engines are equipped with an Engine Control Unit (ECU) that controls the fuel system
in the engine and reduces emission. Mechanical engines equipped with the PrimeGuard 2 Controller have a
traditional fuel system with an add-on electronic throttle control unit for varying speed automatically.
Most engines with an ECU do not require any resistive senders for engine parameters. All current engine status
data and active fault codes are presented via the J1939 databus. You do not need to add resistive senders or
other devices to know virtually everything about the ECU. Only devices relevant to the driven equipment and-or
external start/stop signal sources will need to be added. The wire harness supplied by Godwin contains a 120
ohm terminating resistor already installed in the wire harness.
NOTE: There are some electronic engines using a resistive sender for Oil Pressure. If the J1939 databus is used
for engine parameters, the analog inputs for oil pressure and coolant temperature (Analog inputs 2 and 3) must
be set to Disabled, or to some other type of input, or the PrimeGuard 2 Controller will not allow the engine to start
with what it thinks is a missing/open sender.
OPERATING SEQUENCE
The PrimeGuard 2 Controller, while programmable, follows a standard operating sequence. This operating
sequence is basically a set of machine states that happen in a pre-determined order.
Machine state times can be set to zero, if not needed, or adjusted to fit the application.
The PrimeGuard 2 Controller has the following modes in its operating sequence:
- Stopped – PrimeGuard 2 Controller is in Automatic start mode waiting on a contact closure to initiate an
automatic start and run sequence.
- Pre-Start Delay Mode – A timer used to prevent nuisance starts, or to warn nearby personnel that automatic
equipment is about to start (can be set to 0 to bypass).
- Prelube Mode – In larger engines, there may be a requirement for automatic lubrication prior to cranking (can
be set to 0 to bypass).
- Preheat Mode – Timer set to provide the correct amount of pre-crank operation of the air intake heaters used
to facilitate starting in cold conditions (can be set to 0 to bypass).
- Cranking/Crank Reset Mode – Engine is attempting to start and will go through the number of selected
starting attempts.
- Crank Disconnect/Engine Running Mode – Engine speed is greater than the crank disconnect
- Warmup Mode – Timer to allow system to run unloaded at idle speed for selected time (can be set to 0 to
bypass).
- Line Fill State Timer Mode – Engine runs at line until speed for selected amount of time (can be set to 0 to
bypass).
- Loaded Mode – Engine is running at load at run speed.
- Cooldown Mode – Engine runs unloaded for a preset time at idle speed.
NOTE: WARMUP, LINE FILL, AND COOLDOWN STATES only occur in Automatic mode. These states are
ignored in Manual mode.
- Stopped Mode – Engine has come to a complete stop.

50 00-02-1124
PrimeGuard 2 Controller Operations Manual for Electronic Diesels
- Postlube Mode – In larger engines, there may be a requirement for automatic lubrication after normal
start/run/stop cycle before the engine can be restarted (can be set to 0 to bypass). After postlube, the system
returns to Ready to start mode.
- Shutdown/Lockout with Cooldown Mode – In the case of some faults, the Controller will open the at load
contact and then go through a normal cooldown and stop sequence, but will not allow an automatic restart
without a system reset.
- Immediate Shutdown/Lockout (No Cooldown) – Because of the severity of most faults, the Controller will
cause an immediate stop without going through a cooldown, and will not allow an automatic restart without a
system reset.
This section contains detailed description of the programmable parameters and options available in the
PrimeGuard 2 Controller. This information supplements the Parameter Checklist.

43. Energize to Stop Timer – In systems requiring an Energize to stop fuel solenoid control, this is the time
that the solenoid will stay energized to shut the system down.
44. High Oil Pressure Shutdown – When oil pressure exceeds this amount, the engine will shut down.
45. Spin Down Delay (ECU Off) – This parameter provides a delay from the time of an engine shutdown to
the time for a restart. An immediate restart may cause the starter to engage before the flywheel has
come to a stop from the shutdown event.
46. Stabilize (PowerUp ECU) – This parameter establishes a time delay for the ECU to respond to a signal
from the PrimeGuard 2 Controller and to stabilize communications.
47. Spin Up Time
48. Underspeed – This setting allows for a shutdown or warning if the RPM setpoint is reached in the event of
an underspeed condition.
49. Stored Codes – This setting allows the retrieval of diagnostic trouble codes (DTC), along with the SPN
and FMI codes associated with them. To retrieve the Stored Codes, enter the Engine Parameters menu.
Arrow up once to Stored Codes. Press the right arrow, and the unit will retrieve any Stored Codes. If
more than one Stored Code exists, utilize the right arrow to display additional codes.
1. Start Stop Type – Six options to start and stop the pump automatically:
a. One Float (Start, run and stop from one float)
b. Two Floats (Start float and stop float)
c. Level (Based on 4-20 mA level transducer)
d. Flow (Based on 4-20 mA flow transducer)
e. Pressure (Based on 4-20 mA pressure transducer)
f. Speed (Based on 4-20mA speed input)
2. Float Switch Type –When two floats are selected, this is the type of contact expected to cause a Start or
Stop condition.
a. Momentary
b. Maintained
3. Pump Direction – Changes direction of start and stop floats to either empty a sump or fill a tank.
a. Fill (Start on low level and stop on high level)
b. Empty (Start on high level and stop on low level)
c. Maintain In (Adjusts engine RPM to maintain level of tank/sump)
d. Maintain Out (Adjusts engine RPM to maintain level of a tank/sump)
4. Throttle Mode
a. Variable (Throttle varies with level/pressure/flow input)
b. Steady (Run speed start to stop)
5. Level Start Speed – When the start condition is met, this is the speed that the pump set is to ramp to and
then begin pumping.
6. Level Stop Speed – This is the speed that the pumpset should reach when the cycle is finished.
7. Start Level – This is the start level setpoint for the Controller. When this value is met, the set will start and
run.
8. Stop Level – This is the stop level setpoint for the Controller. When the measured value is met, the
pumpset will stop pumping and the engine will shutdown.
9. Maintain Level – This setpoint will cause the Controller to vary its throttle/RPM to maintain level.
10. Level Deadband – This setpoint determines how sensitive the Controller is to changes in level. A smaller
number means that the level has to change to signal a speed change. A larger number means that
greater changes in level must occur to signal a speed change. Too small a number may make the
system unstable. Too large a number may make the system slow to respond to changing levels.
11. Flow Start – This is the setting to cause the engine to start in AUTO mode.
12. Flow Stop – This is the setting to cause the engine to stop in AUTO mode.
13. Maintain Flow – This setpoint will cause the Controller to vary its throttle/RPM to maintain this flow rate.
14. Flow Deadband – Minimum GPM change that will cause the throttle to change. Default is 100 GPM.

15. Minimum RPM During Flow – This is the minimum RPM allowed by the Controller while using the flow
setup. If the flow actuates the setpoint while at this RPM, the Controller will shut down and wait for the
next start cycle.
16. Maximum RPM During Flow – This is the maximum RPM allowed by the Controller while using the flow
setup. If the flow actuates the setpoint while at this RPM, the Controller will shut down and wait for the
next start cycle.
17. Pressure Start – This setting causes the engine to start in AUTO mode.
18. Pressure Stop – This setting causes the engine to stop in AUTO mode.
19. Maintain Pressure – This setting is the desired setpoint when throttling to a pressure.
20. Pressure Deadband – This setpoint is the acceptable variance for pressure when throttling to a set
pressure. Too small a number may cause system instability (over/undershooting). Too large a number
may cause the system to be slow to respond.
21. Minimum RPM During Pressure – If while maintaining a pressure, the engine RPM reaches this minimum
level, the engine will shut down.
22. Maximum RPM During Pressure – If while maintaining a pressure, the engine RPM reaches this
maximum level, the engine will shut down.
23. Low Suction Pressure Warning – This set point will cause an alarm if Prime or Suction is reduced or lost.
24. Low Suction Pressure Shutdown – This set point will cause a shutdown if Prime or Suction is reduced or
lost.
25. High Discharge Pressure Warning This set point will cause an alarm if discharge pressure is reduced or
lost.
26. High Discharge Pressure SD – This set point will cause a shutdown if discharge pressure is reduced or
lost.
27. Speed Gauge Start – 0-6000 RPM
28. Speed Gauge Stop – 0-6000 RPM
29. Speed Gauge Maintain – 0-6000 RPM
