Common problems

15
  • OVERCRANK — Engine cranks but does not start; Run LED DS12 on A31 is on and Run LED DS2 on A38 is on while cranking 222
    Cause: Restricted fuel supply due to: a. Fuel level below pickup tube in tank
    Fix: Add fuel if low. Prime the fuel system
  • Low AC voltage shutdown (303) — "LOW AC VOLTAGE" shutdown message 303
    Cause: PMG or field wiring could be faulty
    Fix: If output voltage is low and both A37/DS2 and A31/DS10 are on, check and repair the PMG or field wiring.
  • High AC voltage shutdown (301) — "HIGH AC VOLTAGE" shutdown message 301
    Cause: The problem may be in the PCC, the alternator, or the interconnection between them
    Fix: Set the display on the PCC to GEN, VOLTS, L-N. a. Start the genset and observe the voltage displayed on the digital display. b. If all phases of voltage are balanced and not zero, but lower than normal, the alternator and the input to the PCC are OK. The problem is in the excitation circuit for the alternator. Go to step 2. c. If one or more phases of voltage are high or the voltages are unbalanced, the PCC is not measuring all phases of voltage and is responding to the low "average" of the three phases of voltage. Go to step 3.
  • Inj 7 Solenoid Low Curr 1548
  • Weak battery warning (232) — "WEAK BATTERY" warning message; battery voltage is OK 232
    Cause: Weak or discharged battery
    Fix: Recharge or replace the battery. Specific gravity for a fully charged battery is approximately 1.260 at 80° F (27° C).
  • Short circuit shutdown (322) — "SHORT CIRCUIT" shutdown message 322
    Cause: Short or overload
    Fix: Check the load and load cables. Repair if necessary.
  • Overload warning (330) — "OVERLOAD" warning message 330
    Cause: Short or overload
    Fix: Check the load and load cables. Repair if necessary.
  • Overcurrent warning (320) — "OVERCURRENT" warning message 320
    Cause: Short or overload
    Fix: Check the load and load cables. Repair if necessary.
  • Overcurrent shutdown (321) — "OVERCURRENT" shutdown message 321
    Cause: Short or overload
    Fix: Check the load and load cables. Repair if necessary.
  • Low DC voltage warning (230) — "LOW DC VOLTAGE" warning message; battery voltage is OK 230
    Cause: Weak or discharged battery
    Fix: Recharge or replace the battery. Specific gravity for a fully charged battery is approximately 1.260 at 80° F (27° C).
  • Under frequency shutdown (313) — "UNDER FREQUENCY" shutdown message 313
    Cause: Improper setup
    Fix: Check Initial Setup (set size) and correct, if necessary.
  • Mag pickup shutdown (220) — "MAG PICKUP" shutdown message; indicates that the PCC is not sensing the mag pickup signal, or the mag pickup frequency does not correspond (in proportion) to the generator set output frequency 220
    Cause: The PCC may not be set for the correct generator set
    Fix: Check and correct setting if necessary.
  • Battery completely discharged
    Cause: Poor battery terminal connection
    Fix: Clean connections, replace and tighten.
  • EEPROM ERROR 250
    Cause: Indicates PCC memory error. Data corruption of critical operating parameters.
    Fix: Contact an authorized service center.
  • Battery low charge
    Cause: Poor battery connection
    Fix: Clean connections, reconnect and tighten securely.

Procedures

12
Aligning Generator with Engine adjustment

⚠ Accidental starting during this procedure presents a hazard of severe personal injury or death; disconnect negative battery cable first

Tools: Dial indicator, Shims

  1. Fasten a dial indicator to the generator shaft or cooling fan with the point on the capscrew head or drive disc flat.
  2. Bar the engine over clockwise one revolution; record the total indicator reading (T.I.R.).
  3. Measure distance from generator shaft center to indicator point and from flex discs to mounting bolt center.
  4. Compute shim change: multiply distance ratio by one half the T.I.R.
  5. Keep T.I.R. not more than .001 inch for each inch of radius.
  6. If axial runout is excessive, rotate drive discs 180 degrees (or 30/60/90 degrees) and retorque.
Analog Meter Calibration adjustment
  1. Select >> from Main Menu, proceed to A−C VOLTS ADJ TO menu.
  2. Start generator set and allow to reach normal operating speed.
  3. Calibrate analog Voltmeter to digitally displayed value.
  4. Calibrate analog % Amps meter to digitally displayed value.
  5. Calibrate analog % Load meter to digitally displayed value.
  6. Calibrate analog Frequency meter to digitally displayed value.
  7. SAVE, then EXIT.
Angular Alignment Procedure adjustment

⚠ Accidental starting during this procedure presents the hazard of severe personal injury or death; disconnect the negative (-) battery cable(s) first.

⚠ Do not bar engine over by prying on fan blade; this may damage the blade and cause sudden blade failure.

Tools: dial indicator, shims, wrenches

  1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable(s) before beginning.
  2. Fasten a dial indicator to the generator shaft or cooling fan with the sensing point on the capscrew head or flat surface of the drive disc at bolt circle diameter.
  3. Bar the engine over clockwise as viewed from engine flywheel; do not allow it to roll back on compression at the end of travel.
  4. Total indicator reading (T.I.R.) is the sum of maximum positive and negative readings over one revolution.
  5. Compare distance from generator shaft center to indicator point with distance from flex discs to generator mounting bolt center to get a ratio.
  6. Multiply the ratio by one half the T.I.R. to determine the amount of shims to add or remove under the mounting feet.
Axial Alignment Procedure adjustment

Tools: dial indicator, dial indicator holding device with magnetic base or clamp, capscrew tools, torque wrench

  1. Check axial misalignment only when an objectionable vibration is present.
  2. Fasten a dial indicator to skid base, engine block, or generator shell so the sensing point rests on the generator shaft hub.
  3. Bar the engine over clockwise as viewed from engine flywheel through a couple of rotations.
  4. Record indicator readings in eight equally spaced points around the shaft diameter to obtain a T.I.R. for axial shaft misalignment.
  5. To correct out-of-tolerance T.I.R., remove the capscrews connecting drive discs and flywheel and mark the discs and flywheel relative to each other.
  6. Rotate engine or generator so drive disc holes are repositioned 180 degrees from original location; reinstall and retorque capscrews.
  7. If runout is unchanged, rotate discs to 30, 60 or 90 degrees from original location.
  8. If T.I.R. does not improve, inspect the flywheel pilot and drive disc runouts more closely.
Cooling Fan Drive Belt Adjustment - Back Side Idler System adjustment

⚠ Do NOT tighten the inner jam nut excessively; the spring retainer will bend and the control rod will fail.

⚠ The fan belt idler is under tension. Do NOT allow your hands between the idler and belt or fan hub.
