One or more lights do not turn onLights not turned onInspect electronic control to see if lights are on. Turn lights on.
Unit is inoperative — Read/Write configuration does not operateCheck the battery and wiring to the unit; Check the DC supply; Check the DC fuse.
Unit shuts downCheck DC supply voltage is not above 35 V or below 9 V; Check the operating temperature is not above 70 °C. Check the DC fuse.
Fail to Start is activated after pre-set number of attempts to startCheck wiring of fuel solenoid. Check fuel. Check battery supply. Check battery supply is present on the Fuel output of the module. Check the speed-sensing signal is present on the controller inputs. See engine manual.
Continuous starting of generator when in AUTO modeCheck that there is no signal present on the Remote Start input. Check configured polarity is correct; Check the mains supply is available and within configured limits
Generator fails to start on receipt of Remote Start signal.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. Depending on configuration, then set does not start if oil pressure is not low.
Pre-heat inoperativeCheck 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.
Starter motor inoperativeCheck wiring to starter solenoid. Check battery supply. Check battery supply is present on the Starter output of module. Ensure oil pressure switch or sensor is indicating the low oil pressure state to the controller.
Engine runs but the lights do not turn onCheck Warm up timer has timed out; Ensure Inhibit Light Input 1, 2, 3 or 4 are not active on the module inputs; Check connections to the lights; The genset may not take load in MANUAL/START Mode unless there is an active load signal.
Incorrect reading on engine gauges — Fail To Stop when engine is at restCheck engine is operating correctly; Check that sensor is compatible with the controller and that the controller configuration is suited to the sensor.
Low Oil Pressure operates after engine has firedCheck engine oil pressure; Check oil pressure switch/sensor and wiring; Check configured polarity (if applicable) is correct (i.e. Normally Open or Normally Closed) or that sensor is compatible with the controller and is correctly configured.
High Coolant Temperature operates after engine has fired.Check engine temperature; Check switch/sensor and wiring; Check configured polarity (if applicable) is correct (i.e. Normally Open or Normally Closed) or that sensor is compatible with the controller.
Shutdown fault operatesCheck relevant switch and wiring of fault indicated on LCD display; Check configuration of input.
Electrical Trip fault operatesCheck relevant switch and wiring of fault indicated on LCD display; Check configuration of input.
Warning fault operatesCheck relevant switch and wiring of fault indicated on LCD display; Check configuration of input.
CAN ECU Warning / CAN ECU ShutdownThis indicates a fault condition detected by the engine ECU and transmitted to the controller.
CAN Data FailIndicates failure of the CAN data link to the engine ECU.Check all wiring and termination resistors (if required).
Controller seems to revert to an earlier configurationWhen 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
