Common problems

Wiring Error ALARM 2099
Voltage and Frequency Drop Excessively When Loads Are Applied
Fix: TEST 14 - CHECK VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY UNDER LOAD, BOTH LOW -> TEST 15 - CHECK FOR OVERLOAD CONDITION, NOT OVERLOADED -> GOOD -> IF RECONFIGURED TO LP GAS, VERIFY THAT PROPER PROCEDURE WAS FOLLOWED (REFER TO INSTALLATION MANUAL), GOOD -> OVERLOADED -> DISCONTINUE TESTING, REDUCE LOADS TO UNIT’S RATED CAPACITY, TEST 12 - CHECK STEPPER MOTOR CONTROL, GOOD -> BAD -> REPAIR OR REPLACE, LOOK FOR A SHORTED CONDITION IN A CONNECTED LOAD OR IN ONE OF THE LOAD CIRCUITS, GOOD -> TEST 7 - CHECK STATOR AC POWER WINDINGS, ENGINE CONDITION GOOD -> REPAIR OR REPLACE, BAD -> TEST 16 - CHECK ENGINE CONDITION, GOOD -> GO TO “PROBLEM 18 - ENGINE STARTS HARD AND RUNS ROUGH/LACKS POWER” SECTION 4.3
Unstable Voltage or Incorrect Output Which is Not Triggering a Shutdown
Fix: TEST 1 - CHECK AC OUTPUT VOLTAGE, ERRATIC -> PROCEED TO PROBLEM 3
Undervoltage 1902
Stepper Overcurrent ALARM 2100
RPM Sensor ALARM 1501
Prolonged Over-Voltage Undervoltage 1900
Overspeed ALARM
Cause: Prolonged (60 Hz on a 50 Hz unit, 72Hz on 60Hz unit) Over specified Hz for 3 seconds. Possible cause: Stepper motor/mixer body assembly issue.
Overloaded ALARM 2102
Overload Remove Load ALARM 2399
Low Oil Pressure ALARM
Fix: Occurred while running The default Extended alarm for low oil pressure. Check oil level and pressure.
Instantaneous Undervoltage 1901
High Temperature ALARM
Fix: Check the inlet/outlet for debris. Check temperature sensor and wiring.
Generator Shuts Down for Under Voltage
Fix: Perform FBCT, Preliminary Output Voltage Test (if Evolution non-Synergy with Firmware v1.12 or higher), TEST 4 - Fixed Excitation / Rotor Amp Draw, RE-TEST, REPLACE CONTROLLER if necessary, CHECK DMM FUSES, TEST 5 - SENSING CIRCUIT WIRES 11 AND 44, BAD -> TEST 6 - EXCITATION WINDING CIRCUIT 2 AND 6, BAD -> TEST 8 - RESISTANCE CHECK OF ROTOR CIRCUIT, GOOD -> TEST 7 - TEST STATOR, BAD -> PERFORM STATOR INSULATION RESISTANCE, REPLACE STATOR ONLY if necessary, TEST 10 - TEST ROTOR ASSEMBLY, BAD -> REPLACE ROTOR AND STATOR, BAD -> REPAIR OR REPLACE, BAD -> ROTOR CIRCUIT FAILURE, TEST 9 - CHECK BRUSHES & SLIP RINGS, GOOD -> BAD -> TEST 10 - TEST ROTOR ASSEMBLY, GOOD -> TEST 7 - TEST STATOR, BAD -> REPLACE ROTOR ONLY, BAD -> REPLACE ROTOR AND STATOR, PERFORM ROTOR INSULATION RESISTANCE TEST
Generator Produces High Voltage
Fix: TEST 1 - CHECK AC OUTPUT VOLTAGE, HIGH -> TEST 11 - CHECK AC OUTPUT FREQUENCY, HIGH -> TEST 12 - CHECK STEPPER MOTOR CONTROL, REFER TO PROBLEM 1, TEST 3 - CALIBRATE VOLTAGE, VOLTAGE OUTPUT AT BREAKER IS BELOW 220 OR ABOVE 270 VOLTS -> VOLTAGE OUTPUT AT BREAKER IS BETWEEN 220-270 VAC -> FREQUENCY O.K., BUT VOLTAGE INCORRECT -> FREQUENCY AND VOLTAGE O.K. -> STOP TESTS
