Cat EMCP Control Panel
The EMCP controller features the reliability and durability you have come to expect from your Cat equipment.
EMCP4 is a scalable control platform designed to ensure reliable generator set operation, providing extensive
information about power output and engine operation. EMCP4 systems can be further customized to meet your
needs through programming and expansion modules.
Seismic Certification
Seismic Certification available.
Anchoring details are site specific, and are dependent on many factors such as generator set size, weight, and
concrete strength.
IBC Certification requires that the anchoring system used is reviewed and approved by a Professional Engineer
Seismic Certification per Applicable Building Codes: IBC 2000, IBC 2003, IBC 2006, IBC 2009, CBC 2007, CBC
2010
Pre-approved by OSHPD and carries an OSP-0321-10 for use in healthcare projects in California
