calculated from a conversion equation, so the final
value may include some rounding that makes the
setting higher or lower by 1 degree.
Engine Speed Governor Settings
Engine Speed Gain Adjustment. The recommended
setting for the engine speed gain adjustment is 50,
which is the default setting. See Section 5.6.5 for
instructions to adjust the Engine Speed Gain, if
necessary.
Genset Info
Model numbers and serial numbers are factory-set for
each unit. If the controller is replaced, the genset
model number and serial number will need to be
entered by the installer. For the genset model number,
select 6VSG and the appropriate voltage from the
dropdown list. Find the generator set serial number on
the nameplate and enter it using SiteTech.

Genset Fuel Type
The Genset Fuel Type setting is located in the Genset
System Configuration group in SiteTech. Generator
set power and current ratings are the same for

Digital Inputs and Outputs

An optional Programmable Interface Module (PIM) or
optional communications kit provides two digital inputs
and 6 digital outputs. They are Digital Inputs B1–B2
and Digital Outputs B1–B6 in SiteTech. Other digital
inputs and outputs that may appear in SiteTech do not
apply to the 6VSG.
Programmable Interface Module (PIM)
Dropdown menus allow selection of the digital input
and output events. Refer to Installation Instruction
Sheet TT-1584, provided with the PIM, for information
about the input and output events.
Communications Kit
The inputs and outputs on the communications kit
interface board are factory-set and locked. The input
and output settings correspond to factory-connected
sensors on the generator set.
On generator sets equipped with the communications
kit, the Personality Installed Options parameter is
factory-set to 6VSG Telecom.
located in the Genset Personality profile group in
SiteTech. Setting this parameter to 6VSG Telecom
assigns the inputs and outputs to the values shown in
the parameter table and locks the settings.
Section 3.3.4 for the parameter table.
When replacing the VSC controller on a generator set
equipped with the factory-installed communications kit,
use SiteTech to set the Personality Installed Options
parameter to 6VSG Telecom. This will set the digital
inputs and outputs to the correct settings.
