Note: This procedure is for Generator Set Control +P that is mounted in a EMCP II+P Panel.
24DCV must be available from the panel.

1. Verify that the generator set is not running. Turn OFF the power to the EMCP II+P panel by
disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery.

2. Connect the communication adapter to the PC by using the 160-0141 PC/COMM Adapter
Cable.

3. Connect the 160-0133 Data Link Cable to the "Data Link" port on the communication
adapter.

4. Connect 152-7143 GSC Data Cable to the opposite end of the 160-0133 Data Link Cable.

5. Connect the "Data+" and "Data-" spade terminals of the cable to the appropriate terminals in
the AUX terminal strip. The AUX terminal strip is located inside the EMCP II+P Panel.
Connect the "Power+" spade terminal to "RM1" of the relay module on the GSC+P. Connect
the "Power-" spade terminal to "RM28" of the relay module on the GSC+P.

6. Set the Engine Control Switch (ECS) to OFF/RESET. Connect the battery to the electrical
system again. Then, turn the ECS to the COOL/STOP position.

7. Verify that the GSC+P and the communication adapter are receiving power.

8. Turn on the PC. The operating system on the computer must finish loading.

Flash Update Procedure

Note: Before starting this procedure, record setpoints P015, P016, and P026.

1. Obtain a copy of the flash file on a floppy disk or a CD-ROM. Refer to Special Instruction,
"Accessing Flash Software For Machines".

2. Find the CaterpillarElectronic Technician (ET) program by using the "File Manager". Open
Cat ET.

3. Start "WinFlash" by double clicking on the "WinFlash" icon with the pointer of the mouse.
"WinFlash" is a part of the Cat ET software package.

4. After the start-up is complete, Cat ET will automatically try to connect to the GSC+P through
the communication adapter.

5. The "WinFlash" program will display the serial numbers of any modules that are found on
the data link.

6. Select the serial number of the unit that needs the software update. Click "OK". The serial
number of the GSC+P that is desired can be obtained by looking at the first value under
OP2-2 in Service Mode. In order to obtain the value, press the "Service Mode" key on the
GSC+P once. Then, press the "SCROLL UP" key once. The "SCROLL UP" key is also the
"LAMP TEST" key. All GSC+P units have a serial number suffix of "HA". This can be used
for verification.

7. Insert the floppy disk or the CD-ROM that contains the flash file. Click on the "Select File"
button and open the contents of the appropriate drive. Select the appropriate ".fls" file. If the
flash file is already on the hard drive, select the file from the appropriate drive.

8. If the generator set has an energized-to-run solenoid, proceed to 9. If the generator has an
energize-to-shutoff solenoid, wait for at least 70 seconds before proceeding to 9.

9. Click on the "Begin" button. The flash process should begin. A bar that shows the progress
of the update will be displayed on the screen.
Note: If power loss to the GSC+P occurs, the Flash Update procedure must be restarted
from the first step.

10. The display of the GSC+P will be blank and the "Fault Shutdown" indicator will be blinking
while the software update is in progress.

11. Do not disturb the process until the process is finished. Once the process is finished, the
GSC+P will automatically start working again. Exit the "WinFlash" software.

12. The GSC+P should now have the new software. In order to verify the version of the
software, go to the display at OP2-2. Scroll up one time. Read the part number that is
displayed. Check setpoints P015, P016, and P026. Reprogram if necessary.

13. Turn the ECS back to the "OFF/RESET" position and disconnect the negative terminal of
the battery from the electrical system again. Disconnect the cables for the service tool.
Remove the jumper wire from terminals 2 and 39 on the 40 contact connector if necessary.
Close the panel.

14. Reconnect the battery to the electrical system and return the set back to service.
