HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
Your purchase of the Waukesha Engine System
Manager (ESM) system was a wise investment. In the
industrial engine field, the name Waukesha stands for
quality and durability. With normal care and
maintenance this equipment will provide many years of
reliable service.
Before placing the ESM system in service, read Chapter
1 very carefully. This chapter covers Safety and General
Information.
Section 1.00 – “Safety” – Provides a list of warnings,
cautions and notices to make you aware of the dangers
present during operation and maintenance of the
engine. READ THEM CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW
THEM COMPLETELY.
Section 1.05 – “General Information” – Provides
conversion tables, torque values of metric and standard
capscrews, and wiring information.
Section 1.10 – “Description of Operation” – Provides
basic data on the ESM system such as system
description, theory of operation and definitions.
ALWAYS BE ALERT FOR THE SPECIAL WARNINGS
WITHIN THE MANUAL TEXT. THESE WARNINGS
PRECEDE INFORMATION THAT IS CRUCIAL TO
YOUR SAFETY AS WELL AS TO THE SAFETY OF
OTHER PERSONNEL WORKING ON OR NEAR THE
ENGINE. CAUTIONS AND NOTICES IN THE
MANUAL CONTAIN INFORMATION THAT RELATES
TO POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT OR ITS
COMPONENTS DURING ENGINE OPERATION OR
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES.
This manual contains packager, operation and
maintenance instructions for the ESM system. There are
four chapters within the manual, and each chapter
contains one or more sections. The title of each section
appears at the top of each page. To locate information
on a specific topic, see the Table of Contents at the front
of the manual.
Recommendations and data contained in the manual
are the latest information available at the time of this
printing and are subject to change without notice. Since
engine accessories may vary due to customer
specifications, consult your local Waukesha Distributor
or Waukesha Service Operations Department for any
information on subjects beyond the scope of this
manual.

will calculate the WKI value from a customer’s fuel
analysis breakdown. EngCalc3.1 expands the WKI
program to allow the input of fuel contaminants, such as
H2S and siloxanes, to determine if they are within the fuel
contaminant limits.
Once the WKI value is known, it can be entered into the
ECU using the ESP software. This is important, since
spark timing and engine derate curves are adjusted
based on the value of the WKI stored in the ECU.
For applications with changing fuel conditions, such as
a wastewater treatment plant with natural gas backup,
the ESM can be signaled about the fuel’s changing WKI
value in real time using the two WKI analog input wires
in the Customer Interface Harness. The calibration of the
customer interface wires, WKI+ and WKI-, is shown in
Table 1.05-1. An input less than 2 mA or greater than 22
mA indicates a wiring fault, and the default WKI value is
used instead.

damage due to detonation.

During normal combustion, the forward boundary of the
burning fuel is called the “flame-front.” Research has
shown that combustion in a gaseous air/fuel
homogeneous mixture ignited by a spark is
characterized by the more or less rapid development of
a flame that starts from the ignition point and spreads
continually outward in the manner of a grass fire. When
this spread continues to the end of the chamber without
abrupt change in its speed or shape, combustion is
called “normal.” When analyzing detonation, however,
combustion is never normal.
The end gas is that part of the air/fuel charge that has

SAFETIES OVERVIEW
OVERCRANK
If the engine is cranked longer than the time calibrated
by Waukesha, the starting attempt is terminated, the
ignition and fuel are stopped, and the starter motor is de-
energized.
ENGINE STALL
If the engine stops rotating without the ECU receiving a
shutdown signal from the customer’s equipment, the
ESM system will perform an emergency shutdown. One
reason for an engine stall would be failure of an upstream
fuel valve starving the engine of fuel and causing a
shutdown. The ESM system then shuts off the engine
fuel shutoff valve and stops ignition, so that should the
upstream problem be fixed, the engine does not
accidentally start again.
SECURITY VIOLATION
The ECU is protected from unauthorized
reprogramming. In addition, the calibrations
programmed to the ECU are engine specific. If the user
attempts to calibrate the ESM system with the wrong
engine information, a security fault will occur.

4. If the connector was already plugged in and/or the above remedy did not fix the problem, the next
step is to visually inspect the connector terminals on the harness and the terminal block interface
(junction block) for the customer interface harness.
a. Power off the ECU and unplug the customer interface harness from the ECU; check the harness
connector and the sensor for any/all of the following: broken or bent pins/sockets, corroded
pins/sockets/terminals or debris in the connector(s); and check to see that the harness does
not appear to be pinched, severed or damaged in any way.
b. Locate the interface between the kW transducer and the ECU; this may be a junction box or
terminal strip, etc.
5. Plug the customer interface harness back into the ECU. Use a Digital Multi-Meter (DMM) or
equivalent, and use the mA setting to measure the milliamp signal coming from the kW transducer.
In order to measure mA, the meter must be installed inline with pin 7; in other words, one lead
connected to the input of pin 7 (from the kW transducer + lead) and the other lead to the output of
pin 7 (the feed to the ECU on the customer interface harness). See Figure 4.00-13. With the engine
NOT running, and the ECU powered up and transducer plugged in, the meter should read 4 mA.
If not, then recheck the connections on the transducer according to the ESM manual.
6. With the Customer Interface Harness connected to the ECU and the kW transducer connected
correctly on pins/sockets 7 and 8, power the ECU up (do NOT start the engine) and watch the F8
screen on the ESP. Look at the field that states “kW trans.” If this field does not read close to 4 mA,
then recheck the wiring of the transducer according to the ESM manual.
NOTE: This troubleshooting section only deals with the wiring from the kW transducer to the engine.
Troubleshooting the actual kW transducer and the associated measuring/metering devices is out of
the scope of this manual. It is imperative to exercise extreme caution when working in areas where high
voltage could be present and always wear the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

and recharge battery.****
* Overcharging – Batteries that have suffered as a result of considerable overcharging may show extremely low electrolyte
levels, black deposits on the underside of the vent plugs or black “tide-marks” on the inside walls of the container from about
1 in. (25 mm) below the cover. If these signs are present, the battery charger setting must be checked and reset according to
the manufacturer’s instructions before a battery is returned to service. Batteries in which electrolyte levels have to be adjusted
frequently are clearly receiving too much charging current.
** High-Rate Load Test – If the state-of-charge is 75% or higher, the battery should be given a high-rate load test. Typically, the
high-rate load tester will discharge a battery through an adjustable carbon-pile resistance and indicate the terminal voltage as
the discharge proceeds. After 15 seconds, the battery voltage will not drop below a specified value (typically 9.6 V) if the
battery is in good condition and if the current is set at about 50% of the Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) (see Table 4.05-3). The
minimum acceptable voltage reading will vary as battery temperature decreases. Read and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for the tester.
*** Recharging – Batteries which are at less than 75% state-of-charge need recharging before proceeding with any further tests.
Observe that the battery does accept a charging current, even though it may be small in amperes, when the charger is switched
on. The battery must be fully charged for several hours before testing. If batteries have been receiving a charge current within
the previous few hours, the open-circuit voltage may read misleadingly high. The surface charge must be removed before
testing. To remove surface charge, the battery must experience a load of 20 amps for 3-plus minutes.
**** Batteries with low but uniform specific gravities in each cell that clearly require an extended recharge may have become deeply
discharged. This may be nothing more than a battery charger problem, but the system should be checked out before the
battery is returned to service.
