Common problems

The engine does not crank in Run mode
Cause: The Emergency Stop switch has been used. (The switch button is lit.)
Fix: Pull the Emergency Switch button. To reset the engine control, push the Run-Stop-Remote switch to Stop and the Reset switch to Reset. Then push the Run-Stop-Remote switch to Run to start the genset.
The engine cranks but does not start
Cause: The engine is not getting fuel.
Fix: Open any closed fuel shutoff valve. (Valves closed for maintenance or new installations may require several crank cycles to get fuel to genset); Fill the propane supply tank; For natural gas fueled sets, check with the gas utility; Check fuel pressure at regulator (refer to Fuel Pressure in Section 6.) (High fuel pressure will prevent solenoid from opening); Check fuel solenoid (VDC present at K1+ lead during cranking); Duel Fuel Sets Only: Check relay K99. Refer to wiring diagrams in Section 7; Check pressure switch wiring. Propane − normally closed connected to common. Natural gas − normally open connected to common; Check pressure switch function (@ 3.5 inch H2O or less, should switch from natural gas to LPG); Check S14 vacuum switch (optional) for proper operation.
No output voltage
Cause: The line circuit breaker is OFF.
Fix: Find out why the circuit breaker was turned OFF, make sure it is safe to reconnect power, and then throw the circuit breaker ON.
The engine lacks power or is unstable
Cause: Current ambient conditions cause a derate, limiting power to less than rated power.
Fix: Determine proper derates for ambient conditions. Refer to specification sheet for site derating factors.
The field circuit breaker keeps tripping
Cause: The rotating rectifier assembly (diodes CR1 through CR6) is faulty
Fix: Shut down the set and check each diode according to Section 7; Service as necessary
The engine does not crank in Remote mode
Cause: The Run-Stop-Remote switch is at Stop. (The Switch-Off light will be flashing.)
Fix: Push the Run-Stop-Remote switch to Remote.
Output voltage is too high or too low
Cause: Engine speed is unstable
Fix: Troubleshoot according to the chart, The Engine Lacks Power or is Unstable
Engine will not crank.
Cause: Fault lamp on
Fix: Correct fault and reset control.
The phase currents are unbalanced
Cause: The connected loads are distributed unevenly among the phases
Fix: Shut down the set and redistribute the loads as evenly as possible
Battery completely discharged
Cause: Poor battery terminal connection
Fix: Clean connections, replace and tighten.
Battery low charge
Cause: Poor battery connection
Fix: Clean connections, reconnect and tighten securely.
Output voltage is unstable
Cause: The voltage has been adjusted improperly
Fix: Adjust output voltage according to Section 2, AC Control
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. FAULT 1
Cause: 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.
Over Current 1477
Battery overcharged
Cause: Charge alternator fault
Fix: Contact your nearest Cummins Power Generation distributor.

Slowly turn the manual fuel valve clockwise (lean) until the engine begins to lose speed.
Slowly turn it counterclockwise (rich) until the engine carries the full load smoothly.
On dual fuel sets, switch to LPG by closing the manual shutoff valve in the natural gas supply line.
Reconnect full rated load and turn the LPG flow adjustment valve clockwise until the engine begins to lose speed.
Slowly turn it back counterclockwise until the engine carries full load smoothly.

Gaseous Fuel System Adjustments adjustment

⚠ Fuel is highly flammable and may cause severe personal injury and property damage. Do not allow cigarettes, flame, pilot lights, arcing switches or equipment in area or areas sharing ventilation.

Tools: exhaust gas analyzer (for emission sensitive areas)

Start the engine and let the set warm up under a partial load (at least 1/4 rated load). Start with natural gas if dual fuel.
Connect full rated load and turn the power adjust valve two turns counterclockwise.
Slowly turn the manual fuel valve clockwise (lean) until the engine begins to lose speed.
Slowly turn counterclockwise (rich) until the engine carries full load smoothly.
If dual fuel, switch to LPG by closing the manual shutoff valve in the natural gas supply line.
Reconnect full rated load and turn the LPG flow adjustment valve clockwise until the engine begins to lose speed.
Slowly turn it back counterclockwise until the engine carries full load smoothly.

Magnetic Speed Pickup Unit Adjustment adjustment

Measure MPU resistance; replace if not between 1,000 and 1,050 ohms.
With MPU removed, rotate ring gear until a tooth lines up in the center of the mounting hole.
Thread pickup in gently by hand until it just touches the ring gear tooth.
Back the pickup out 1/4 turn and set the locknut.
Verify MPU output voltage at cranking speed is at least 1.5 VAC; replace MPU if less.

Output Voltage Adjustment adjustment

Adjust output voltage plus or minus five percent of nominal voltage using the Voltage Adjust rheostat (optional) on the control panel.
Call your distributor if the required voltage cannot be obtained by this adjustment.

Type A Gaseous Fuel Adjustment (Naturally Aspirated) adjustment

⚠ Gaseous fuels are flammable and explosive

Disconnect all loads, shut down set, and disconnect governor linkage at the carburetor.
Start engine and hold throttle closed by hand to prevent overspeed.
Adjust throttle idle position screw to obtain a frequency of 25-35 Hz.
Turn idle adjusting screw counterclockwise until engine becomes unstable, then clockwise to regain stability.
Reconnect governor linkage.
Connect full rated load and turn main fuel valve to full-rich, then lean until engine loses speed, then back to rich.
If equipped for LPG, switch to LPG and adjust LPG flow valve similarly under full load.

Vibration Isolator Installation and Adjustment Procedure adjustment

Place vibration isolators on the generator set support structure; shim or grout so all isolator bases are within 0.25 inch (6 mm) elevation of each other.
Loosen the side snubber lock nuts so the top plate is free to move vertically and horizontally; verify alignment with base and springs.
Place the generator set onto the isolators while aligning the skid mounting with the threaded isolator hole.
Adjust isolators with the leveling bolt to level the set; nominal clearance between top plate and base is 0.25 inch (6 mm) or greater.
If radiator and engine/alternator are mounted on separate skids, make both skids level for proper fan belt alignment.
If the set is not level, adjust leveling bolts until level with sufficient, roughly equal clearance on all isolators.
Lock the leveling bolt in place with the lock nut.
Leave snubber nuts loose to provide better isolation between the generator set and support structure.

Checking AC Electric System While Running diagnostic

⚠ High voltages are present inside the control box and generator output box when the set is running. Do not open the boxes while the set is running.

Check the frequency meter; generator frequency should be stable and match the nameplate rating.
Turn the phase selector switch to each line-to-line phase selection (L1-L2, L2-L3, L3-L1) and read the AC voltmeter; at no load voltage should match nameplate rating.
Turn the phase selector switch to each phase (L1, L2, L3) and read the AC ammeter; at no load current should be zero.
Push the Reset/Lamp switch; all indicator lamps should light, confirming all bulbs are on.
Have any burned out bulbs replaced.

Verify Overspeed Fault Detection diagnostic

Tools: special tool P/N 420-0604

For Type A sets, move the throttle lever/linkage to increase RPM to the overspeed shutdown range.
For Type B sets, remove the two screws securing the throttle body cover and remove cover.
Use special tool P/N 420-0604 to turn the end of the throttle shaft.
With genset operating at no load, slowly rotate the shaft clockwise until RPM reaches the overspeed limit and shuts down.
Replace the throttle body cover after completing the test.

AC Electrical Connections installation

⚠ Do not connect generator set directly to any building electrical system

⚠ Reconfiguring to different voltages can damage generator or windings; consult distributor

Place the control panel run switch in OFF position; remove AC power from battery charger; remove negative battery cable.
Install transfer switch for standby service applications.
Reconfigure generator output leads on connection terminal block per Reconnection Diagram as needed for nameplate voltage.
Bolt stranded load wires to the appropriate U/V/W/N terminals.
Balance loads so current flow from each line terminal is within 10 percent of median value.
Install current transformers (CT21/CT22/CT23) per Reconnection Diagram with dot facing toward the generator.
Ground the genset to earth in one location only.

AC Voltage Reconnection installation

⚠ Reconfiguring to higher voltages can exceed winding voltage capability and damage generator

⚠ Reconfiguring to lower voltages can increase line current beyond breaker rating

Check available generator output voltages and maximum current ratings on generator nameplate.
Reconfigure generator output leads per Reconnection Diagram on control housing side access cover if required.
Check stator lead terminal block connections and perform necessary reconnect to obtain required voltage.
Route current transformers (CT1, CT2, CT3) per Reconnection Diagram, dot facing generator, current flowing into dot.
