Common problems

15
  • The warning status indicator is lit whenever the control detects a warning condition.
    Fix: After the condition is corrected, the warning indicator can be reset by pressing the Fault Acknowledge button. (It is not necessary to stop the generator set if the fault becomes inactive during genset operation.)
  • The shutdown status indicator is lit whenever the control detects a shutdown condition.
    Fix: After the condition is corrected, the shutdown indicator can be reset by turning the O/Manual/Auto switch to the O (off) position, and pressing the Fault Acknowledge button. The generator set can not be started when this lamp is on.
  • The genset control continuously monitors engine sensors for abnormal conditions, such as low oil pressure and high coolant temperature.
    Fix: If any of these conditions occur, the control will light a yellow Warning lamp or a red Shutdown lamp and display a message on the graphical display panel.
  • POWER DOWN ERROR 1417
    Fix: Possible drain on battery. Contact an authorized service center for service.
  • OIL LEVEL WARNING 326
    Fix: If generator is powering critical loads and cannot be shut down, wait until next shutdown period, then follow 688 High Oil Level Alarm procedure. If engine can be stopped follow 688 procedure.
  • OIL LEVEL ALARM 253
    Fix: Check oil level, lines and filters. If oil system is OK but oil level is low, replenish. Reset control and restart.
  • LOW OIL LEVEL 471
    Fix: If generator is powering critical loads and cannot be shut down, wait until next shutdown period, then follow 253 Oil Level Alarm procedure. If engine can be stopped follow 253 procedure.
  • LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE 441
    Fix: A. Discharged or defective battery. Check the battery charger fuse. Recharge or replace the battery. b. Poor battery cable connections. Clean the battery cable terminals and tighten all connections. c. Check engine DC alternator. Replace engine DC alternator if normal battery charging voltage (24 to 26 VDC) is not obtained. d. Check float level if applicable (raise float level).
  • HIGH OIL LEVEL ALARM 688
    Fix: Check oil level. Drain oil to operating level.
  • HIGH BATTERY VOLTAGE 442
    Fix: Check float level on battery charger if applicable (lower float level). Check engine DC alternator. Replace engine DC alternator if normal battery charging voltage (24 to 26 VDC) is not obtained.
  • FUEL LEVEL LOW IN DAY 1439
    Fix: Check fuel supply and replenish as required.
  • FAIL TO SHUTDOWN 1416
    Fix: Status ï indicates that the “Fault Bypass” mode is enabled. This mode is primarily used by service personnel for troubleshooting purposes.
