Warnings and legal information
This manual gives guidelines to the installation of the GEMPAC generator control and
protection unit. The drawings should be used as guidance only.
Installing and operating the GEMPAC product implies work with dangerous currents and
voltages, and therefore only qualified personnel should only carry it out.
Care must be taken during the installation to protect the terminals against static discharges.
Once the units are installed and connected, these precautions are no longer necessary.
If there is any doubt about how to install or operate the system on which the GEMPAC
product is measuring, you should contact your next level of technical support.

1 GEMPAC Basics
1.1 Standard functions
The GEMPAC is a protection and control unit for a generator driven by a diesel engine or a
turbine. It will carry out all necessary tasks to control and protect a generator, regardless of
the use of the generator. This means that the GEMPAC can be used for several application
types such as:
• Stand-alone generator
• Multiple generator load sharing control
• Fixed load to mains/base load
The GEMPAC measuring system is true RMS 3-phase measurement of generator voltage,
generator current and bus (mains) voltage.
1.2 Application control
The GEMPAC GEMPAC has the ability to switch between different applications dependant
upon the generator type. Switching between applications re-asssgns inputs and outputs on
the unit as well as change nominal settings and protections levels
The Gempac software ver. 2.10.0 and higher can be used for four applications, Gempac-
QSK45, Twinpack, QSK60 and 50G3
The application is selected in menu 5000, which can only be entered by the “JUMP” button.
When selecting an application, the GEMPAC will reset it self and all previous settings. The
application specific menus will only be available when the right application is selected.
The selected application will be stored even if new software is downloaded to the GEMPAC.

2.2 Descriptions of I/O
2.2.1 Inputs
The inputs 23-27 on slot #1 are control inputs. Terminal 28 is the common (J2)
2.2.1.1 Input 23:
CB Tripped, this input will go high when the Circuit Breaker connecting the generator set to
the mains Busbar has tripped out on its own overcurrent protection, for the QSK45 genset
this will not indicate a GEMPAC initiated trip or other auxiliary protection trip.
2.2.1.2 Input 24:
Emergency stop, will be energised high when the system is running normally, this signal is
required to keep relay 2 energised.
2.2.1.3 Input 25:
CB Closed, is energised high when the circuit breaker is in the closed position.
2.2.1.4 Input 26:
CB Open, is energised high when the circuit breaker is in the open position.
2.2.1.5 Input 27:
Air Flaps, this is energised high when the air flaps are closed.
2.2.2 Alarm relays
5 relays are mounted in the power supply and binary I/O board in slot #1. Relays 1-5 are pre-
configured.
2.2.2.1 Relay 1:
Open Breaker, this relay will open the circuit breaker immediately when required
2.2.2.2 Relay 2:
Emergency Stop: This relay is energised closed to maintain the emergency stop loop; if an
emergency stop is required the GEMPAC will de-energise these contacts and stop the
engine.

2.2.2.3 Relay 3:
Circuit Breaker Trip: This relay is energised closed to maintain the circuit breaker
undervoltage trip loop; if a circuit breaker trip is required by the GEMPAC this will de-
energise the contacts and trip the breaker
2.2.2.4 Relay 4:
Spare.
2.2.2.5 Relay 5:
Circuit Breaker Open, this relay will close the circuit breaker if the conditions set in the
GEMPAC are met.
If the alarm function is enabled, an alarm will always be displayed on the multi-line 2.
Furthermore you can activate a fault code, which is selected from 6 levels, see section 13.
In general failure conditions (sync. failure) the regulation stops and the running situation is
frozen.
Acknowledge of the alarms is done in one of two ways, either the binary input 96 is used or
the select button on the display (the second will only clear alarms present in the GEMPAC)
The alarm acknowledge input acknowledges all present alarms and the alarm LED will
change from flashing to steady light, it will also reset the alarms on the ECM by closing Relay
7
The display can be used in the alarm information window. This is shown if you press the
“INFO” pushbutton.
The alarm information window displays one alarm at a time and whether it is acknowledged or
not. If it is unacknowledged, move the cursor to “ACK” and press select to acknowledge it.
Use the up and down buttons to step in the alarm list.
When alarm LED is flashing if there are some unacknowledged alarms, when it is on
continuously there are only acknowledged alarms present.
2.2.2.6 Status relay, slot #1
The status relay on the power supply board is a normally closed relay with the purpose of
processor and power supply supervision. This relay cannot be configured to any other alarms.
This relay is not utilised in the GEMPAC system.
2.2.2.7 kWh and kvarh counter
The multi-line 2 monitors the energy production of each unit and it has pulse-outputs for kWh
and Kvar.h measurement. The number of pulses depends on the nominal output of the
generator as follows:
Pnom < 100 kW → 1 pulse/kWh
Pnom 100-1000 kW → 1 puse/10 kWh
Pnom > 1000 kW → 1 pulse/100 kWh
The pulse length is 1 s/pulse; this feature is not utilized in the GEMPAC system

2.4.1 Engine Shut downs and Controls
There are a number of engine specific shutdowns and fault indication marshalled at the
GEMPAC unit.
2.4.1.1 Input 43
ECM Common Warning, this is an input form the ECM indicating a common warning
2.4.1.2 Input 44
ECM Common Shutdown, this is an input form the ECM indicating a common shutdown
2.4.1.3 Input 45

AVR Over voltage, this is an input form the AVR indicating an over voltage, nominally this
is set in the AVR.
2.4.1.4 Input 46
Excitation Loss, this is an input form the ACB indicating an excitation loss on the
stator.
2.4.1.5 Input 47
Fuel Spillage, this input is from the fuel spillage sensors within the bund of the genset.
2.4.1.6 Input 48
Engine Start, if the conditions are met energising this input momentarily (300ms+) will
begin the engine starting cycle.
2.4.1.7 Input 49
Open Breaker Request, energising this input will energise Relay 1 immediately; this
function is not inhibited by any other component or logic.
2.4.1.8 Input 50
Close Breaker request, this will begin synch and check synch the generator as required
and if programmed allow closing onto a dead/black Busbar. Note: regardless of the
operation of the panel Manual/Auto/Remote etc, the GEMPAC will always be in control of
the genset during the closing cycle of the breaker, thus preventing uncontrolled breaker
closing.
2.4.1.9 Input 51
Local Control On, this input is used to allow remote control of the panel, either via a
SCADA system, or AT control system.
2.4.1.10 Input 52
Remote Start, when the set is switched to auto and Local Control Off/ Remote On the
energising this input will start the generator, subsequent loss of this signal will then stop
the machine.
2.4.1.11 Input 53
Manual/Auto Switch, this is the key switch input from the control panel that allows the user
to run the machine fully automatically.
2.4.1.12 Input 54
Speed Increase, energising this input will increase the speed bias output from the
GEMPAC, this is only possible if the Local Control is enabled.
2.4.1.13 Input 55
Speed decrease, energising this input will decrease the speed bias output from the
GEMPAC, this is only possible if the Local Control is enabled.

2.4.1.14 Input 56
Common negative for all digital inputs on Board 3
2.4.1.15 Relay 6
ECM Idle Rated Selector, closing this will indicate to the ECM wither the generator should
run at idle speed or nominal speed, this can be selected automatically using the Starting
Time, a time of 0 seconds means that the GEMPAC will not activate the relay at all.
2.4.1.16 Relay 7
Alarm Reset, this resets the alarms in the ECM
2.4.1.17 Relay 8
Close Air Flaps, this relay will energise the air flaps, when this close signal is returned or
the engine speed drops below 30Hz then the relay will de-energise.
2.5 Slot #4, analogue output
Slot #4 is used for governor/AVR outputs.

These outputs are active outputs i.e. they use the internal power supply. The outputs are
galvanically separated from each other and the rest of the unit.

2.7.1 Description of Functions
2.7.1.1 Input 90
Board common (J2)
2.7.1.2 Input 91, 92 and 93
Mode Selectors see section 7, by selecting combinations of these inputs the GEMPAC will
alter is control characteristics, e.g. Peak Lopping, Base Load, Load Sharing etc.
Generally these are not wired into the panel controls, they can be utilised, if required, for
external, remote hardwired control of the genset.
2.7.1.3 Input 94-95
Energising these inputs will instruct the GEMPAC to vary the voltage the voltage level
accordingly, by changing the bias output on terminals 70 and 71 to the AVR.
2.7.1.4 Input 96
Mode Enable, this changes the control from Manual to automatic, all volts, speed, power
and circuit breaker control are mode by the GEMPAC the logic is determined by the mode
selection.

2.8 Slot #7, Analogue and Engine Interface Card.
An engine interface board is mounted in slot #7. It consists of configurable inputs and outputs.
The configuration is done through the utility software and the default settings can be changed
to the relevant settings. To configure the inputs, upload the parameter list from the multi-line 2
and select the input to be configured. Then a configuration dialog box appears and the
settings can be changed. The standard title (e.g. 4-20mA in no. 1) can be changed, and the
new title will also be shown in the display.
The minimum and maximum values of the 4-20mA input can be adjusted:
Value: Alarm value (e.g. 85°C)

Min.: Value corresponding to 4mA (e.g. 0°C)
Max: Value corresponding to 20mA (e.g. 100°C)
The inverse proportional function is used when the input has inverse proportionality according
to the measured value. This could for instance be when measuring a negative value.
The inputs can be used as a high or low alarm. As a “high alarm” the alarm appears when the
measured value is higher than the alarm limit, and as a “low alarm” the alarm appears when
the measured values are lower than the alarm limit.
The binary inputs use 24-volt constant signal. They are not pulse inputs.
The inputs on the GEMPAC units are pre-configured to allow quick connection of a number of
standard measurements, the analogue inputs are also re-configurable to allow changes to
input type. These are not wired as standard on production generators.
NOTE: The following I/O is for standard QSK45 configuration for other application types

The neutral line (N) connection is not necessary for correct measurement. 3-phase without
neutral is also possible.
The current transformers ground connection can be on s1 or s2 connection, whichever is
preferred.
Fuses: 2A slow-blow.

3.2 Load sharing lines
Even though screened cable is not needed, it is recommended if the cable run is longer than
5 m between units.
3.2.1.1 Diagram 5 – Load Sharing Line Connection
NOTE:
If connecting to other types of loadsharing lines, e.g. Selco where only Active (kW)
loadsharing is used then only terminals 38 (Common) and 37 (Active) need to be used,
ensure that the correct Mode is selected.
The other selectable types of load-sharer available are:
! GAC
! Selco T4800
! Barber Coleman

3.3 Binary inputs
All binary inputs are 24 VDC bi-directional optocoupler. Typical input is:
3.3.1.1 Diagram 6 – Binary input connections
The binary inputs use fixed signals. They do not use pulse signals. The GEMPAC will log
when a signal is generated i.e. Engine Start and will begin the start cycle of the generator set.

3.4 Analogue Inputs, External Set-points
The set-point inputs are passive, i.e. an external power source is needed. This can be an
active output e.g. from a PLC, GEMPAC, Power Transducer, or a potentiometer can be used.

4.3.6 Third line in display (parameter menu display)
In the parameter menu the third line indicates the present setting of the function in question,
and, if changes are to be made, the max. and min. possible value for the setting.
4.3.7 Fourth line in display (parameter menu display)
When entering the parameter menus, the first (entry) display uses the fourth line to select a
sub-function for the parameter. What the selections are depends on the function selected.
4.3.8 Fourth line in display (daily use display)
In the daily use display, the fourth line is the entry selection for the parameter menu. If “SEL”
is pressed, the selection of menu indicated with an underscore will be entered.
Choices are:
• “PROT”, protection setup

• “CTRL”, controls setup
• “POWER”, power control setup
• “SYST”, system setup
The settings related to the setup can be seen in the paragraph “Menu overview” where the
specific function numbers (related to the “JUMP” function) can be seen.
Examples:
For protective function the first entry shows the “Bus high volt 1” setting (provided the option
is chosen). In this case the fourth line shows:
• “LIM”, setting of switch point

• “DEL”, setting of time delay
• “FC”, selection of which Fail Class the function will activate
• “ACT”, activate/de-activate the function
For control functions the first entry shows the “Synchronisation” function. In this case the
fourth line shows:
• “fMax”, max. allowed positive frequency deviation when synchronising

• “fMin”, min. allowed negative frequency deviation when synchronising
• “Umax”, max. allowed voltage deviation (positive or negative) when synchronising
• “tCB”, closing time delay for generator circuit breaker
• For power setup the first entry shows the “Start next gen.” relay output (if the option is
chosen). In this case the fourth line shows:
• “LIM”, setting of load dependent start output activation limit
• “DEL”, time delay for activating the relay
• “ACT”, activate/de-activate the function
NOTE:
No relay selection is present. This is due to the fact that the function relates to a pre-
determined relay output on slot #3.

For system setup the first entry shows the “Nominal settings”. In this case the fourth line
shows:
• “F”, nominal frequency setting

• “P”, nominal generator power setting
• “I”, nominal generator current setting
• “U”, nominal generator voltage setting
The above settings are used by the GEMPAC for control and protection settings.

6.3 PI controller
The GEMPAC includes controllers for the different running modes. The controllers control the
analogue outputs (slot #4).
The basic principle of the controller is that a calculation is being executed every 5 * ON time
(relay output) or 5 * integ. time (analogue output). The result of this calculation indicates
whether the actual value (e.g. nominal frequency) is within the deadband. In that case there
will be no changes on the output. If the actual value is differing from the deadband, the
controller will cause an output signal change.
The analogue signal will change depending on the gain factor and the deviation from the
actual value to the desired value. The period the output signal changes will be up to 5 *
integral time.
After a period of 5 * ON time or 5 * integral time, a new calculation is carried out.
From the table below it appears what controllers are active in the different running modes.
Controllers:
Controllers Mix factor

Freq. Power Voltage var PF f/P mix U/var
mix
Fixed freq. X
Fixed power X
Droop X
P loadsharing X X X
Fixed voltage X
Fixed var X
Fixed PF X
Q loadsharing X X X
Note: 1 -The mix factors are not controllers, but they indicate the influence of the two
controllers in question.
2 – These correspond to the Mode Selection
Example:
The generator is running in loadshare mode. The f/P mix factor is set to 50%. Now the
frequency controller participates with 50% of the governor control, and the power controller
participates with: 100 - 50 = 50%.
When running in the generators, the relevant controller must be set in each desired running
mode. (Fixed frequency mode set frequency controller).
With the exception of the PF controller, the controllers are active in more running modes
depending on the application. Regardless of that, the controller values will be the same.
6.3.1 Deadband (+/- value)
The controllers will find a value within the deadband area. If the actual value is within this
area, the output signals will not change. When the calculation shows an actual value outside
the deadband area, the output signals change again.
6.3.2 Gain factor
The gain factor indicates with what rate the analogue output signal will change. A higher gain
factor will cause a faster regulation, but it might also cause the prime movers to hunt.

6.3.3 ON-time
The output relay is active for a time of = K * ON time. K is depending on the deviation from
nominal value.

f = Generator frequency
f = Generator frequency

lopping system.
It’s possible to have two set points, a daytime- and a nighttime set point. The daytime period
is set in menu 3020.
The GEMPAC needs a 0...10VDC signal on terminal 40, 41 from a power transducer,
measuring the imported power from mains.
0VDC at the transducer signal must correspond to 0.0MW-imported power from mains.
10VDC at the transducer signal must correspond to the transducer scale set point in menu

7.1.3 Start First Generator
This set point is used to start the first gen-set when no other gen-set in the peak lopping
system are active.
When the imported mains power exceeds XX% (menu 3031) of the mains power set point
(menu 3011 or 3012), the first gen-set is started and synchronised to the busbar. The gen-set
will run at fixed power according to the Base Load set-point in menu 3033, until the imported
mains power reach mains power set-point. It’s always the available gen-set with the lowest
communication ID that will be started.

lopping system is active.
When the load on the gen-sets goes below XX% of their nominal power and the other active
gen-sets have enough available power to handle the load, the gen-set will deload and stop.
It’s always the active gen-set that have been connected longest time to the busbar, that will
be stopped. This time will be reset when the circuit breaker are opened, and is not the same

11 PEAK-LOPPING
Peak lopping is a method of controlling a generator running in parallel with the mains. This
method is intended for industries where fixed power consumption from mains is desirable
(e.g. to cut off the very expensive peak of the power consumption). The way it is done is to
measure and control the entire plant consumption and have this control decide how much
power the parallel running generator must produce.
A power transducer measures the actual imported power to the plant. A 0 to 10VDC signal-
line from the power meter controls the power output required by the GEMPAC power system.
The GEMPAC/GEMPAC’s have a plant set point that will control the maximum allowable level
of power import.
By comparing the plant set point, the imported power and the generator loadsharing set
points the GEMPAC system will start and stop the necessary gen-sets.
The GEMPAC will always start the gen-set with the lowest running hours and stop the gen-set
with the highest running hours.
The can-bus is used to transfer start, stop and load-sharing signals between the generators.
11.1 Fault conditions
11.1.1 Loss of Mains
When the mains are lost, the generators will run in load share mode and will use the load
share line.
11.1.2 Loss of Can-bus Connection
When an individual GEMPAC generator looses the can-bus connection, it will switch to fixed
power / fixed PF mode and will continue to produce the same power and PF at the point when
the loss of can-bus connection happened. The other gensets in the peak lopping system will
continue to run in peak lopping mode.
If there are only two GEMPAC generators in the peak lopping system, the one with highest ID
will run fixed power / fixed PF and the one with lowest ID will run peak lopping.

11.2 Engine Deloading
The GEMPAC system has a deload function which is used when the generator breaker has to
be opened with no load. The deload function is primarily used when running parallel with
other generators or the mains.
When running in stand-alone mode, it is not possible to deload the generator, as there is no
other generator to take the load. If the deload input is set, the breaker will be opened instantly
in fixed frequency mode. In base load, peak lopping, droop and loadsharing mode the speed
of the generator will be decreased. The breaker will not open.
When running in parallel, the deload input will still open the breaker instantly in fixed
frequency mode. In base load, droop and loadsharing mode, the load will be decreased and
the breaker will open at a configurable set point. The factory setting is 5% of nominal power.

12 Utility Software
With the utility software it’s possible to configure the spare analogue and binary inputs, and to
set the control settings in all operation modes.
The utility software must be version 1.21 or higher to work with Gempac software version
1.10.0 and higher.
12.1 Using the utility software.
Ensure that you have the latest version of the software available loaded on your PC.
The utility software is a simple, powerful, widows driven interface tool for the GEMPAC unit.
To connect to your PC, attach and RS232 null modem cable to the Service port of the
GEMPAC unit and plug into a spare serial COM port on your PC.
When you open the utility software select ‘Connection’ and tick the appropriate COM port
from the menu.
To upload the setting configuration from the unit Click ‘File’ ‘Upload Parameters’ it will take up
to 30 seconds to upload the configuration list from the unit.
To ensure all parameters are view Click ‘File’ ‘Filtration’ to deselect the filter.
Selecting the relevant parameter, which opens an editing window to allow modification a
number of parameters, can amend the parameter list.
By clicking ‘View’ there are options for viewing real time analogue and digital information
relating to the GEMPAC unit. This is particularly useful for troubleshooting wiring problems
and identifying incorrectly connected controls and relays.
Configuration files can be saved and printed out; it is recommended that prior to modifying the
configuration of the GEMPAC unit a backup of the original be made.
Entire configuration files can be downloaded to the GEMPAC unit Click ‘File’ ‘Download
Parameters’ or individual parameters can be modified by Clicking ‘Send’ in the parameter edit
window.
12.1.1 Application Control
Note: Do not run generator when updating the software revision

When updating the software version of the GEMPAC unit, all parameters will return to
the factory setting.
The correct application will need to be chosen as well as all the correct parameters
updated.
If a new software update is issued the operating system for the GEMPAC unit can be
updated.
The GEMPAC software is an a37 file extension. This should only be modified if advised by
Aggreko Manufacturing.
To update the software revision, ensure your PC is connected to the GEMPAC unit and click
‘File’ ‘Application Control’ When the application control menu appears select the Download

sheet and ‘Open File’ find the revised a37 file in your harddrive and select then ‘Start
Download’ this will take upto 5 minutes. When complete exit the window.
12.2 Configurable Spare Inputs
The 8 4…20mA analogue inputs and the two PT100 inputs (term. 98-111 and 126-133) can
be configured in a dialog box like below.
Besides setting the set-point, Timer, FailClass and Enable for each input the following can be
set.
• Input text
• Minimum set-point value (only for 4..20mA inputs)
• Maximum set-point value (only for 4..20mA inputs)
• Unit (only for 4..20mA inputs)
• High / low alarm (alarm is activated when the value is over / below the set-point)

If an input has two alarm levels (like the analogue inputs), the input text, minimum set-point
value, maximum set-point value, unit and the Inverse prop. setting will be the same for level 2
as for level 1.
If the minimum set-point value and maximum set-point value are changed in level 1, it must
be downloaded to the GEMPAC and then uploaded before it’s valid for level 2. If this is not
done the messages “value is outside limits” or “illegal data value” will be shown.

The binary input (term. 118) can be configured in a dialog box like below.
Besides setting the set-point, Timer, FailClass and Enable for the input the following can be
set.
• Input text
