Common problems

15
  • Unit shuts down
    Fix: Check DC supply voltage is not above 35 Volts or below 9 Volts. Check the operating temperature is not above 70°C. Check the DC fuse.
  • Unit is inoperative
    Fix: Read/Write configuration does not operate Check the battery and wiring to the unit. Check the DC supply. Check the DC fuse.
  • Starter motor inoperative
    Fix: Check wiring to starter solenoid. Check battery supply.
  • Pre-heat inoperative
    Fix: Check wiring to engine heater plugs. Check battery supply. Check battery supply is present on the Pre-heat output of module. Check pre-heat configuration is correct.
  • No fuel
    Fix: Check fuel in tank and manual shut-off valve.
  • Module appears to 'revert' to an earlier configuration
    Fix: When editing a configuration using the PC software it is vital that the configuration is first 'read' from the controller before editing it. This edited configuration must then be 'written' back to the controller for the changes to take effect. When editing a configuration using the fascia editor, be sure to press the Auto Mode button to save the change before moving to another item or exiting the fascia editor.
  • Low coolant temperature
    Fix: Remove and check thermostat.
  • Lack of power
    Cause: Engine overloaded.
    Fix: Reduce load.
  • Injection pump shut-off not reset
    Fix: Turn key switch to 'OFF' then to 'ON'.
  • Injection pump not getting fuel or air in fuel system
    Fix: Check fuel flow at supply pump or bleed fuel system.
  • Incorrect reading on Engine gauges
    Fix: Fail to stop alarm when engine is at rest Check engine is operating correctly. Check that sensor is compatible with the module and that the module configuration is suited to the sensor.
  • Inaccurate generator measurements on controller display
    Fix: Check that the CT primary, CT secondary and VT ratio settings are correct for the application. Check that the CTs are wired correctly with regards to the direction of current flow (pt, p2 and s1, s2) and additionally ensure that CTs are connected to the correct phase (errors will occur if CT1 is connected to phase 2). Remember to consider the power factor (kW = kVA x powerfactor). The controller is true RMS measuring so gives more accurate display when compared with an 'averaging' meter such as an analogue panel meter or some lower specified digital multimeters. Accuracy of the controller is better than 1% of full scale. Generator voltage full scale is 415V ph-N, accuracy is ±4,15V (1% of 415V).
  • Generator fails to start on receipt of Remote Start signal.
    Fix: Check Start Delay timer has timed out. Check signal is on 'Remote Start' input. Confirm correct configuration of input is configured to be used as 'Remote Start'. Check that the oil pressure switch or sensor is indicating low oil pressure to the controller.
  • Fuel filter plugged or full of water
    Fix: Replace fuel filter or drain water from filter.
  • Faulty injection pump or nozzles
    Fix: Consult authorized diesel repair station for repair or replacement.
