SENSOR FAILURE INDICATION
What This Code Means
Overspeed shutdown; Low lube oil pressure warning/shutdown; High lube oil temperature warning/shutdown; High engine temperature warning/shutdown; Low coolant temperature warning; Sensor failure indication; Weak battery warning; Battery indicates impending failure; Fail to start (overcrank) shutdown; Generator set fails to start; Fail to crank shutdown; Engine does not rotate; Cranking lockout; Starter is prevented from engaging or cranking the engine; Low lube oil pressure warning; Low lube oil pressure shutdown; High lube oil temperature warning; High lube oil temperature shutdown; High engine temperature warning; High engine temperature shutdown; Generator set fails to start by the completion of the engine crank sequence; Control will not allow the starter to attempt to engage or crank; Cranking lockout (starter will not attempt to engage or crank); Impending battery failure; Starter does not attempt to engage; Starter does not crank the engine; Control will not allow the starter to
Possible Causes
- •Engine speed exceeds setting (default 115% of nominal)
- •Lube oil pressure falls below pre-set capabilities level
- •Lube oil temperature exceeds pre-set capabilities level
- •Engine temperature exceeds pre-set capabilities level
- •Engine temperature is too low for a 10 second start or proper load acceptance
- •Analog sensor failure
- •Interconnecting wiring failure
- •Control system tests the battery during start signal and detects impending failure
- •Generator set fails to start by the completion of the engine crank sequence
- •Control has signaled starter to crank engine but engine does not rotate
- •Engine is rotating
- •Engine speed exceeds nominal threshold (default setting of 115%)
- •Lube oil pressure drops below pre-set configurable level
- •Lube oil temperature exceeds pre-set configurable level
- •Engine temperature exceeds pre-set configurable level
- •Engine temperature is not high enough for a 10 second start or proper load acceptance
- •Battery indicates impending failure
- •Engine does not rotate after control has signaled the starter to crank
- •Starter attempt to engage or crank when the engine is already rotating
- •Engine speed exceeds default limit (115% of nominal)
Suggested Actions
- 1Configure level with InPower to match the capabilities of the engine used
- 2Configure pre-set level using InPower to match engine capabilities
- 3Configure pre-set level with InPower to match engine capabilities
- 4Configure pre-set level with InPower to match the capabilities of the engine used
