Common problems

15
  • Low Battery Voltage — Battery voltage is low 441
    Cause: Damaged battery cable connections
    Fix: Inspect the battery cable connections for loose connections and/or corrosion, and repair as necessary
  • Excitation Fault (Loss of AC Sense) — The control has lost voltage sensing or has lost zero cross sensing 2335
    Cause: Incorrect configuration
    Fix: Make sure that values for the Low of AC Voltage Threshold (85%) and Low of AC Voltage Time Delay (10 seconds) are correct in calibration
  • Engine Oil Pressure Low (Shutdown) — Engine oil pressure is below the low oil pressure shutdown threshold (35 psig) 415
    Cause: Lubricating oil level is low
    Fix: Check the oil level. Add or drain oil, if necessary
  • Engine Is Difficult to Start or Does Not Start
    Cause: Battery voltage is low, interrupted, or open
    Fix: Check the battery connections, unswitched battery supply circuit, and fuses
  • Low Coolant Level (Warning or Shutdown) — This fault is used when an optional coolant level sensor is installed. The nature of the fault is an optional customer selection 1317
    Cause: Low coolant
    Fix: Stop the engine and allow the engine to cool down; Visually inspect and verify that the engine coolant is at the appropriate level; If the coolant level is too low, add coolant per specifications
  • Engine Noise Is Excessive
    Cause: Lubrication issue(s)
    Fix: Check the oil level and fill the system to the specified level if lubricating oil level is below specification; check the oil pressure if lubricating oil pressure is below specification; analyze the oil if lubricating oil is thin or diluted
  • Engine Experiences Low Power, Poor Acceleration, or Poor Response
    Cause: Excessive load
    Fix: Ensure that the load on the generator set does not exceed the generator set kW rating; revisit the generator set sizing process to ensure that the generator set is correctly sized for the application, especially if new loads have been introduced into the system
  • Unstable Voltage (With Load)
    Cause: Engine governing unstable
    Fix: Refer to the engine service manual (if applicable) or E-Controls service manual
  • Poor Voltage Regulation (With Load)
    Cause: Unbalanced load
    Fix: Check voltage and load current on all phases; if unbalanced, redistribute the load more evenly across the phases
  • Poor Engine Transient Response
    Cause: Excessive loads
    Fix: Make sure that the load on the generator set does not exceed the generator set KW rating; re-visit the generator set sizing process to make sure that the generator set is correctly sized for the application, especially if new loads have been introduced into the system
  • Low Voltage (With Load)
    Cause: Under frequency roll-off protection activated
    Fix: Under frequency roll-off protection is activated, indicating excessive load; check that under frequency roll-off set point and slope are correct; load on generator is in excess of rated, ensure that the load on the generator set does not exceed the generator kW rating; revisit the generator set sizing process to ensure that the generator set is correctly sized for the application, especially if new loads have been introduced into the system
  • Low Fuel (Warning or Shutdown) — This fault is used when an optional low fuel level switch is installed. The nature of the fault is an optional customer selection 1318
    Cause: Low fuel level
    Fix: Add the manufacturer's prescribed fuel
  • Engine Will Not Reach Rated Speed (RPM)
    Cause: Excessive loads
    Fix: Ensure that the load on the generator set does not exceed the generator set KW rating; re-visit the generator set sizing process to ensure that the generator set is correctly sized for the application, especially if new loads have been introduced into the system
  • Engine Shuts Off Unexpectedly or Dies During Deceleration
    Cause: Emergency Stop/Remote Emergency Stop energized
    Fix: Verify that either the Emergency Stop or the Remote Emergency Stop circuit is not energized
  • Engine Runs Rough or Misfires
    Cause: Air intake or exhaust issues
    Fix: Check the air intake system for restriction, clean or replace the air filter and inlet piping as necessary; check the exhaust system for restrictions
