Common problems

15
  • Stops suddenly
    Cause: Fault shutdown
    Fix: Check for a fault shutdown code on the controller’s LED display. Correct the fault and then move the generator set master switch to OFF/RESET to reset the controller.
  • Generator set stops suddenly
    Cause: Low oil pressure shutdown
    Fix: Check for oil leaks. Check the oil level and add oil if necessary
  • The generator set cranks but does not start, starts hard, lacks power, or operates erratically
    Cause: Air cleaner clogged
    Fix: Clean and/or replace the air cleaner
  • The generator set does not crank.
    Cause: Fault shutdown
    Fix: Check for a fault code on the controller display. See Section 2.6.
  • Operates erratically
    Cause: Air cleaner clogged
    Fix: Replace element.
  • Lacks power
    Cause: Air intake restriction, inadequate cooling
    Fix: Inspect air intakes and exhaust for obstructions. Check air cleaner.
  • Generator set stops suddenly.
    Cause: Low oil pressure shutdown
    Fix: Check the oil level.
  • Generator set does not crank
    Cause: Weak or dead battery
    Fix: Recharge or replace battery. If battery is weak or dead, check battery charger fuse, power supply, and operation.
  • No output voltage
    Cause: AC output circuit breaker open
    Fix: Check for AC voltage on the generator side of circuit breaker. If there is AC voltage on the generator side of the breaker, then a problem in the load circuits is causing the line circuit breaker to trip. Check for and correct short circuits or overloading on the load side before resetting the circuit breaker.
  • Low output or excessive drop in voltage
    Cause: Generator set overloaded
    Fix: Reduce the load
  • Cranks but does not start
    Cause: No fuel
    Fix: Open (turn on) manual fuel valve. Check fuel supply tank (LP).
  • The generator set does not crank
    Cause: Battery weak or dead
    Fix: Recharge or replace the battery
  • Starts hard
    Cause: Low battery voltage
    Fix: Check battery voltage and battery charger connections, power supply, and operation.
  • Controller LED display is off
    Cause: No power to the controller: The generator set has not run for 48 hours or longer and the controller has powered down.
    Fix: Controller display will automatically activate when a remote start command is received or the generator set master switch is moved to the RUN position. See Section 2.3.
  • The generator set cranks but does not start, starts hard, lacks power, or operates erratically.
    Cause: Air cleaner clogged
    Fix: Clean and/or replace the air cleaner.

ADC-RES Controller Configuration (Cn setting) adjustment

⚠ The controller automatically exits configuration mode without saving changes after about 1 minute if no buttons are pressed.

  1. Enter the configuration mode while the engine is not running by following the Figure 26 sequence.
  2. Step through the parameters to the communication setting Cn parameter.
  3. Use the up and down arrow buttons to change the Cn setting to Cn01, if necessary.
  4. Press to SAVE CHANGES (YES) before exiting the configuration mode.
  5. Move the generator set master switch to OFF/RESET.
Controller Configuration adjustment

⚠ Be sure to save the new settings immediately before exiting the configuration mode; changes are lost if the controller times out (about 1 minute).

  1. Hold the Select button and move the master switch to RUN to enter configuration mode.
  2. Press the down arrow key then the up arrow key 3 times to enter configuration mode (password).
  3. Set the voltage/frequency parameter Uu for the model.
  4. Set the unit configuration parameter Uc (marine, standby, mobile).
  5. Set the engine type parameter Ec.
  6. Press the up arrow at the Adnc display to enter advanced configuration mode.
  7. Set the engine data input type Ed.
  8. Set the battery voltage Bt (12 or 24 VDC).
  9. Set the communications parameter Cn.
  10. Enter save mode and save your settings before exiting.
Frequency Adjustment Procedure adjustment

⚠ Hazardous voltage. Operate the generator set only when all guards and electrical enclosures are in place.

Tools: frequency meter

  1. Open the generator set line circuit breaker.
  2. Attach a frequency meter to the AC output leads.
  3. Start and run the generator set until normal operating temperature (at least 10 minutes).
  4. Use the ADC controller to adjust the electronic governor speed (parameter 4P) for 60 Hz (or 50 Hz).
  5. Check stability with no load; decrease gain (parameter 5P) until stable if speed hunts or surges.
  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to obtain rated frequency and stable operation.
  7. Save the settings.
  8. Apply rated load and observe frequency; no load and full load frequencies should be within 0.4 Hz of rated.
  9. Check for hunting and surging at full load; increase gain until engine hunts, then decrease in small steps.
  10. Remove the load and observe frequency; repeat step 4 if frequency changed.
Frequency Adjustment, RDC Controller adjustment

⚠ Hazardous voltage.

⚠ Moving parts.

Tools: frequency meter

  2. Remove oxygen sensor plug from exhaust manifold and install oxygen sensor.
  3. Connect oxygen sensor to engine starting battery, control module, and voltmeter.
  4. Reconnect battery charger, start genset, and run to normal operating temperature.
  5. Apply rated load; measure oxygen sensor output voltage (potential to ground).
  6. Adjust fuel metering valve to obtain specified oxygen sensor output.
  7. Seal metering valve adjustment screws with thread sealant.
  8. Remove load and cool genset 5-10 minutes; stop genset.
  9. Disconnect battery negative lead first; allow exhaust to cool.
  10. Remove oxygen sensor and reinstall exhaust plug with antiseize; reconnect battery negative lead last and battery charger.
Mechanical Governor Arm Adjustment Procedure adjustment

⚠ Accidental starting can cause severe injury or death.

Tools: Nail

  1. Make sure throttle linkage is connected to governor arm and carburetor throttle lever.
  2. Loosen the hex nut holding the governor lever to the cross shaft.
  3. Move governor lever toward carburetor as far as it will go (wide open throttle) and hold.
  4. Insert a nail into the hole in the cross shaft and rotate the shaft counterclockwise as far as it will turn; tighten hex nut and remove nail.
Output Voltage and Frequency Adjustment adjustment

⚠ The generator set must be running during these adjustments.

⚠ The engine speed (frequency) adjustment menus are not accessible on models with mechanical governors.

Tools: multimeter

  1. Move the master switch to RUN; the engine starts and runtime hours display.
  2. Hold the Select button about 5 seconds until the program version number displays.
  3. Press the down arrow key then the up arrow key 3 times to enter adjustment mode.
  4. 1P: adjust voltage coarse in large increments (approximately 5-7 volts per step).
  5. 2P: adjust voltage fine in smaller increments (approximately 0.5-0.7 volts per step).
  6. Adjust voltage stability (gain) coarse and fine.
  7. 3P: set volts/Hz (00=low, 09=high).
  8. 4P: adjust engine governor speed coarse and fine.
  9. 5P: adjust engine governor stability (gain) coarse and fine.
  10. Enter SAVE mode and save settings before exiting the adjustment mode.
Procedure to Convert from NG to LP adjustment

⚠ Explosive fuel vapors. Can cause severe injury or death. Use extreme care when handling, storing, and using fuels.

⚠ Accidental starting. Disconnect the battery cables before working on the generator set; remove the negative (--) lead first.

Tools: Gas leak detector, Wrench (to hold fuel solenoid valve)

  1. Place the generator set master switch in the OFF position.
  2. Disconnect the power to the battery charger.
  3. Disconnect the generator set engine starting battery, negative (--) lead first.
  4. Turn off the fuel supply.
  5. Remove the hose clamp and fuel hose from the hose fitting.
  6. Place the orifice into the hose fitting.
  7. Slide the hose onto the hose fitting and secure it with the clamp.
  8. Disconnect the digital spark-advance module (DSAI) leads for LP (connect the leads for natural gas).
  9. Connect and turn on the new fuel supply.
  10. Check that the generator set master switch is in the OFF position.
  11. Reconnect the generator set engine starting battery leads, negative (--) lead last.
  12. Reconnect power to the battery charger.
  13. Start the generator set by moving the generator set master switch to the RUN position.
  14. Check for leaks using a gas leak detector.
  15. Move the generator set master switch to the OFF/RESET position to shut down the generator set.
