    Caterpillar EMCP4

    Installation Guide

    1. Unpack the monitor, antenna and the data / power cable.


    The 25 pin connector plugs onto the front of the
    OMNIMETRIX Monitor. This cable includes wires to power
    the monitor as well as wires for alarm inputs, relay outputs
    and analog inputs. Take a moment to inspect all components
    to verify there is no shipping damage.
    2. Place the antenna on the roof of the generator and route the
    antenna cable through the louvers down into the area of the
    generator control. The antenna used for transmitting must be
    installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm
    from all persons and must not transmit simultaneously with
    any other antenna transmitters. BE SURE to provide a drip
    loop lower than the monitor to keep water from running down Data / Power Cable
    the antenna cable into the monitor connection. If the roof is
    aluminum (non-magnetic), simply mount the antenna near the
    roof line on the steel side walls.
    3. Attach the monitor via its magnetic feet, on top of the engine
    controller or other appropriate location. Horizontal surfaces
    are best, but the unit may be mounted vertically or even
    upside down if necessary.
    4. Route the data / power cable to the terminal strip to pick up
    generator battery power and RS485 data.
    5. The monitor connects to the Caterpillar EMCP 4 through a
    simple 4-wire connection. Connect the red wire to generator
    Battery B+, the black wire to generator Battery B- (GND), the
    white wire to Modbus Data+ and the green wire to Modbus
    Data-. For remote start capability, connect the white/yellow
    wire and the white/brown wire to the Genset 2-wire Start
    CAT EMCP 4 Controller
    Terminal.
    6. Attach the antenna cable to the front of the monitor, and
    tighten thumb tight.
    7. Set up Modbus via the front panel control, using the steps
    provided on the following page. Be sure to utilize a baud rate
    of 9600, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.
    8. Turn on the monitor and confirm that the LEDs light up and
    blink. If not, check for power on the terminal strip. If, after 5
    minutes, the only LED lit is the Power LED, check the
    antenna mount and cable connection.
    9. Allow 15 minutes for the monitor to log into the network and
    then call OMNIMETRIX at 770-209-0012 to confirm
    installation. Access to machine data is through the
    OmniView™ web interface at www.omnimetrix.net. Contact
    CAT EMCP 4 Wiring
    OMNIMETRIX for login instructions and web training.
