Common problems

15
  • Over Current 1471
  • Low Coolant Level 197
  • Weak Battery 1442
  • Under Frequency 1448
  • Too Long in Idle 2342
  • The FAULT 1 or FAULT 2 fault lamp lights. Engine shuts down immediately, engine runs for several seconds and then shuts down, or engine continues to run.
    Fix: The standard undesignated fault functions are programmed to shut down the set when a fault is sensed. Fault 1 is time delayed while Fault 2 is immediate. The nature of the fault is an optional selection that is determined when the set installation is designed. The undesignated fault functions may also be programmed for non-shutdown or non-time delay.
  • The engine does not start
    Cause: The starter will disengage after a specified period of time and the control will indicate an overcrank shutdown.
    Fix: Place the O/Manual/Auto switch in the O position and press the Fault Acknowledge/Reset button. Before attempting to restart, wait two minutes for the starter motor to cool and then repeat the starting procedure. If the engine does not run after a second attempt, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
  • SWITCH OFF lamp flashes.
    Fix: Indicates Run/Stop/Remote switch is in the Stop position which will prevent automatic starting if an automatic transfer switch is used. Move the Run/Stop/Remote switch to the Remote position for automatic starting.
  • Status Indicators are not functioning properly.
    Fix: Check the status indicators for any visible damage or loose connections. If the issue persists, refer to the Fault Code Table for further troubleshooting.
  • Speed/Hz Match 1469
  • Speed Signal Lost 121
  • Shutdown After Battle Short 1123
  • Short Circuit 1445
  • Remote Emergency Stop 1434
  • Pre-Low Oil Pressure Sensor 143

  1. Press button next to symbol in display until + and − symbols are displayed.
  2. Press button next to arrow symbols to move to numeric character to change.
  3. Press button next to + symbol to increase value or select parameter.
  4. Press button next to − symbol to decrease value or select parameter.
  5. After adjusting values/selecting parameters, press symbol to save changes.
Convert Day Tank Controller 240 VAC to 120 VAC adjustment
  1. Remove the two jumpers between terminals TB1-6 and TB1-7.
  2. Connect one jumper between TB1-5 and TB1-6 and the other between TB1-7 and TB1-8.
  3. Move selector switch S103 on the control PCB to the up position for 120V.
  4. If equipped with a transformer, remove jumpers between H2 and H3 and connect one between H1 and H3 and the other between H2 and H4.
Day Tank Controller Conversion 240 VAC to 120 VAC adjustment
  1. Remove the two jumpers between terminals TB1-6 and TB1-7 and connect one between TB1-5 and TB1-6 and the other between TB1-7 and TB1-8.
  2. Move selector switch S103 on the control PCB to the up position for 120V.
  3. On the control transformer, remove the two jumpers between terminals H2 and H3 and connect one between H1 and H3 and the other between H2 and H4.
Dip Adjustment adjustment
  1. Turn the DIP pot clockwise to increase the voltage vs frequency slope for frequencies below the UFRO threshold.
  2. Greater slope gives greater voltage roll off as frequency drops, easing large load pickup but increasing voltage dip.
  3. Turn the pot fully counterclockwise to make the slope the same above and below the threshold frequency.
Dwell Adjustment adjustment
  1. Turn the DWELL pot clockwise to increase dwell time (voltage recovery time when frequency dips below threshold).
  2. Turn the DWELL pot fully counterclockwise to eliminate dwell.
  3. With no dwell, voltage recovery follows engine speed recovery.

Tools: Frequency meter or tachometer

  1. Start the generator set.
  2. Set no-load speed for desired droop (isochronous 60.0 Hz/1800 r/min).
  3. With no load, turn GAIN clockwise until actuator lever oscillates; reduce until stable.
  4. Reduce GAIN one division, then turn fully clockwise while observing lever.
  5. Turn I adjustment counterclockwise until lever stable; it should oscillate up to 3 times.
  6. Apply and remove loads to check response; recalibrate if unsatisfactory.
Electric Governor Preliminary Adjustments adjustment

Tools: Screwdriver

  1. Set frequency adjust (engine speed) potentiometer to mid position and tighten locking nut.
  2. Set I potentiometer one division from zero.
  3. Set Gain potentiometer at the third division from zero.

  6. Turn droop screw to approximately 80 for 5 percent droop.
Fuel Pump Control: Convert 120 VAC to 240 VAC adjustment
  1. Remove jumpers between TB1-5/TB1-6 and TB1-7/TB1-8; connect two jumpers between TB1-6 and TB1-7.
  2. Move selector switch S103 on control PCB to down position for 240 VAC.
  3. If equipped with a transformer, remove jumpers between H1/H3 and H2/H4 and connect two jumpers between H2 and H3.
  4. Attach a tag to the control box indicating the supply voltage.
Fuel Pump Control: Convert 240 VAC to 120 VAC adjustment
  1. Remove jumpers between TB1-6/TB1-7; connect one jumper TB1-5 to TB1-6 and one TB1-7 to TB1-8.
  2. Move selector switch S103 on control PCB to up position for 120V.
  3. If equipped with a transformer, remove jumpers between H2/H3 and connect one between H1-H3 and one between H2-H4.
Governor Adjustments (Type A Electric Governor) adjustment
  1. Set selector switch S1 to OFF, S2 to appropriate model position.
  2. Set pots initially: Gain 20%, I 20%, D 30%, Droop 0%.
  3. Start set, adjust Speed pot for required frequency (60Hz=1800RPM or 50Hz=1500RPM) at operating temperature.
  4. Disconnect load, turn Gain pot to 100% or until unstable, then back off until stable.
  5. Adjust D and I pots similarly; readjust Speed if necessary.
  6. Push throttle to minimum speed, release and observe overshoot (2-5 Hz acceptable); adjust I pot to reduce overshoot or hunting.
Initial Start Setup adjustment

⚠ Selecting this menu resets all operating parameters to default values; perform only by technically qualified personnel.

  1. Press RESET, MENU and PHASE SELECT simultaneously to invoke the Initial Start Setup menu.
  2. Toggle the Standby/Prime option.
  3. Select the correct generator set model, frequency and kW rating.
  4. Select the correct nominal line-to-line output voltage.
  5. Select DELTA or WYE.
  6. Select SAVE to save changes; MAIN MENU is then displayed.
Mechanical Governor Speed Adjustment adjustment

Tools: Frequency meter or tachometer, Wrench

  1. Use the frequency control meter (if equipped) or an accurate tachometer.
  2. Loosen the speed adjustment screw locknut.
  3. Start set, warm to operating temperature, then apply full rated load.
  4. Adjust speed adjust screw in or out to reach required speed (60 Hz - 1800 r/min, 50 Hz - 1500 r/min).
  5. Hold screw at proper setting and retighten locknut.
  6. Remove and apply loads to check response; readjust if necessary.
