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 1 60-0 133 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 G SC+P and the c ommunication
adapter are receiving power.

Flash Update Procedure
Note: Before starting this procedure, record setpoints
P015, P016, and P026.
1. Obtain a copy of the flash fi le on a floppydiskora
CD-ROM. Refer to Special Instruction, “Accessing
Flash Software For Machines”.
2. Find the CaterpillarElectronic Technician (ET)
program by using the “File Manager”. O pen 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 so ftware
package.
4. After the sta rt-up is comp lete, Cat ET will
automatically try to connect to the GSC+P through
the communication adapter.
5. The “W inF la sh ” program will d isp la y the serial
numbers o f 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 suffixof“HA”.Thiscan
be used for verification.
7. Insert the floppy disk or the CD-ROM that contains
the flash file. Clic k on the “S ele c t File” button
and open the contents of the appropriate drive.
Select the appropriate “.fls” file.Iftheflash 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 soleno id, 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 auto matically start working again. Exit the
“WinFlash” s of tware.
12. The GSC+P should now have the new software.
In order to verify the ver sion of the software, go to
the display at OP2-2. Scroll up one time. Read
the part number that is displayed. C heck s etpoints
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. C lose the panel.
14. Reconnect the battery to the electrical system
and return the set back to service.
