101IDLE MODE — Engine continues to operate at reduced RPM.Indicates that the engine is operating in idle mode. When the set is operating in the RUN mode, grounding the engine idle input causes generator build-up to be inhibited and the engine to be governed at 800 RPM. When ground is removed from this input, the set returns to normal speed and voltage. When the engine idle function is enabled, the control automatically sets lower oil pressure warning and shutdown trip points to reflect the lower operating speed. When the engine idle function is removed and the set reverts to normal operating speed, the control automatically resets oil pressure warning and shutdown trip points to the normal settings.
102EMERGENCY STOP — Engine shuts down and will not crank.Indicates local or remote Emergency Stop.To reset the local Emergency Stop button: Pull the button out or turn the switch clockwise (button with arrow) and allow it to pop out; Move the Run/Off/Auto switch to Off; Press the Reset switch; Select Run or Auto, as required.

1311Customer Input #1 — Warning/Shutdown or none for status messageThe nature of the fault is an optional customer selection. Example inputs: Low Fuel Day Tank, Water In Fuel, Ground Fault, Low Starting Hydraulic Pressure, Low Starting Air Pressure, etc.Each of the fault functions can be programmed (using service tool), as follows: Enable/disable input (Default: enable); Status, Warning or Shutdown (Default: #1—None, #2 thru #4—Warning); Active closed or open (Default: closed [ground]); Change display name using up to 19 characters (Default: #1—Customer Fault 1, #2—Ground Fault, #3—Low Fuel, #4—Rupture Basin Fault)
1311Customer input #1
1311 through 1318Customer Defined Fault — When any one of these customer defined inputs is detected by the control, the corresponding fault message is displayed. The nature of the fault is an optional customer selection. These fault functions can be programmed to initiate a shutdown or warning as indicated by the Warning or Shutdown lamp. Note: Customer fault messages are editable. The message displayed for the code shown (1311 through 1318) is determined by the customer
1311, 1312, 1317, and 1318Customer InputIf there is no actual fault, the problem may be an external wiring problem; active input (closed or open) selection is incorrectDisconnect the signal lead from TB1 and reset the control. CUST_IN1 – TB1-4; CUST_IN2 – TB1-5; CUST_IN3 – TB1-6; CUST_IN4 – TB1-7; If the fault message clears, the external wiring has a short or open circuit, or the active input selection (closed/open) is not correct for the customer input (use the service tool to check the selection).
1312Customer Input #2 — Warning/Shutdown or none for status messageThe nature of the fault is an optional customer selection. Example inputs: Low Fuel Day Tank, Water In Fuel, Ground Fault, Low Starting Hydraulic Pressure, Low Starting Air Pressure, etc.Each of the fault functions can be programmed (using service tool), as follows: Enable/disable input (Default: enable); Status, Warning or Shutdown (Default: #1—None, #2 thru #4—Warning); Active closed or open (Default: closed [ground]); Change display name using up to 19 characters (Default: #1—Customer Fault 1, #2—Ground Fault, #3—Low Fuel, #4—Rupture Basin Fault)
