Troubleshooting

4

Symptoms & remedies

SymptomRemedy
Battle short modePlease refer to the Control Application Guide or Manual for list of these faults.
DerateThe Derate function reduces output power of the genset in response to a fault condition. If a Derate command occurs while operating on an isolated bus, the control will issue commands to reduce the load on the genset via contact closures or Modbus. If a Derate command occurs while in utility parallel mode, the control will actively reduce power by lowering the base load kW to the derated target kW.
Emergency stopAnnunciated whenever either emergency stop signal is received from external switch.
General prime mover protection - Low and high battery voltage warningIndicates status of battery charging system (failure) by continuously monitoring battery voltage.
