Symptoms & remedies

SymptomCauseRemedy
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 Volts or below 9 Volts; 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 module's inputs. Refer to engine manual.
Continuous starting of generator when in the Auto ModeCheck that there is no signal present on the "Remote Start" input. Check configured polarity is correct.
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 upon configuration, the 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 generator does not take loadCheck Warm up timer has timed out.; Ensure generator load inhibit signal is not present on the module inputs.; Check connections to the switching device.; Note that the set does not take load in Manual Mode unless there is an active load signal.
Incorrect reading on Engine gauges / Fail to stop alarm when engine is at restCheck engine is operating correctly.; Check that sensor is compatible with the module and that the module configuration is suited to the sensor.
Oil pressure low fault 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 module and is correctly configured.
Coolant temp high fault 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 module.
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.
ECU Amber / ECU RedThis indicates a fault condition detected by the engine ECU and transmitted to the DSE controller.
ECU Data FailIndicates failure of the CAN data link to the engine ECU.Check all wiring and termination resistors (if required).
Inaccurate generator measurements on controller displayCheck 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 (p1,p2 and s1,s2) and additionally ensure that CTs are connected to the correct phase (errors 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 415 V ph-N, accuracy is ±4.15 V (1 % of 415 V ).
DSE2130 ID 0 to 3 Analogue Input E to H HighThe module detected that an analogue input value of a DSE2130 had risen above the Flexible Sensor High Pre-Alarm Trip level.
DSE2130 ID 0 to 3 Analogue Input E to H LowThe module detected that an analogue input value of a DSE2130 had fallen below the Flexible Sensor Low Pre-Alarm Trip level.
DSE2130 ID 0 to 3 Digital Input A to HThe module detected that a digital input configured to create a fault condition on a DSE2130 expansion module became active and the appropriate LCD message displayed.
