The PowerCommand PCC 3100 is a generator-set controller. It is used on generator sets from Cummins/Onan, including the DGBB, DGBC, DGCA and DGCB.
| Code | Meaning | Cause | Remedy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 101 | IDLE MODE | ||
| 101 | IDLE 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. |
| 102 | EMERGENCY STOP | To reset the local/remote Emergency Stop button: Pull the button out. Move the Run/Off/Auto switch to Off. Press the Reset switch. Select Run or Auto, as required. | |
| 102 | EMERGENCY 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; Move the Run/Off/Auto switch to Off; Press the Reset switch; Select Run or Auto, as required. |
