Common problems
15- Engine Cranks But Will Not Start
Cause: No fuel
Fix: Check that fuel valves are open - Voltage Or Current Metering Is Incorrect
Cause: Controller programmed values are wrong
Fix: Verify the controller programmed values are correct for the voltage sensing PT ratio and/or current sensing CT ratio - Mechanical Noise
Cause: Internal failure of alternator
Fix: Contact service - No Output Voltage
Cause: Circuit breaker tripped or failed
Fix: Reset circuit breaker or replace if required - No "RUN" Output Signal
Cause: "Shutdown Faults" not reset
Fix: All shutdown faults must be reset (red shutdown LED must be off) - LCD Display Cannot Be Viewed
Cause: Improper supply voltage
Fix: Check DC supply voltage at terminals B+ & B- (10-30VDC) - Generator voltage unbalance alarm Gen V unbal
Cause: Based on Gener protect: Gen V unbal and Gen V unb del setpoints. The voltage unbalance is calculated as a maximum difference between phase voltages - Engine Will Not Crank (Electric Start)
Cause: Dead battery
Fix: Remove batteries and trickle charge. Never jump start. Even if only one battery is bad, it is recommended that both batteries be replaced at the same time - Engine Temperature Or Oil Pressure Display Is Incorrect
Cause: Failed engine sensor
Fix: Verify engine sensors. NOTE: Engine sensors must be factory supplied units only - Engine Overheats
Cause: Excessive load
Fix: Remove one or more electrical loads - Electrical Shock When Frame Is Touched
Cause: Static charge
Fix: Ground unit frame at local reference ground - Controller Does Not Power Up Even With Correct DC Power Applied
Cause: Wiring mistake
Fix: Check that there are no wiring errors/short circuits connected to the controller - Controller Cannot Be "Reset"
Cause: Engine not stopped
Fix: Verify the engine is at a complete stop before trying to reset - Wrong controller configuration indication. Indicates that controller hardware doesn't support PLC used in configuration Wrong config
Fix: To check it send the IDch and Dngl strings from controller Info screen 2 and archive to your technical support - This warning message "RTCbatteryFlat" appears in Alarmlist when battery is close to be completely flat RTCbatteryFlat
Cause: If power supply cut comes when the RTC battery is flat, the statistic values, history and setpoints settings are lost
Fix: Send a controller to your distributor for battery exchange if the RTCbatteryFlat message is displayed
