Consult factory for further details. 6. Engine Sensor type MUST be selected and programmed properly to GSC300 (switch or sender type). Failure to do so may result in the controller not shutting down on true engine failure (Low oil pressure or high engine temperature). -
Page 9: Gsc300 12/24Vdc System Operation
SYSTEM OPERATION Figure 1 The GSC300 controller is designed to operate in either 12 or 24VDC system voltages. When operating in 12VDC systems the Fuel, Crank and Preheat/ETS relays need to be the 12VDC relay type. When operating in 24VDC systems these relays need to be the 24VDC relay type. -
Page 10: Terminal Description
The magnetic pickup only works for frequencies up to 3000Hz (this is max of 100 teeth at 60Hz) General The GSC300 does not have loss of speed detection. If there is no speed signal during cranking/run but the genset starts up and runs the starter will remain engaged for the remainder of the crank cycle. -

Page 24: Technical Notes And Faq
6.1 Controller Memory Clear Time The GSC300 needs 10 seconds for its memory to clear. When the power to the controller is turned off and then back on again without waiting 10 seconds to clear the memory, a loss of speed will may be indicated by the GSC300 (if controller is in AUTO mode and start signal is activated) because the controller remains in run mode and senses that the generator has stopped. -

The GSC300 crank output can be attached to the pull coil and the GSC300 fuel output can be attached to the hold coil. When the engine is started the fuel and crank output will come on activating both coils but after cranking is successful the crank output will turn off de-energizing the pull coil. - Page 26 26 of 29 Figure 8 – GCP300 Drawing Figure 9 – GCP300 User Terminal Block Label...
