1 Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS This manual contains important instructions that should be
followed during installation and maintenance of the generator set and batteries.
Safe and efficient operation can be achieved only if the equipment is properly operated
and maintained. Many accidents are caused by failure to follow fundamental rules and
precautions.
1.1 Warning, Caution, and Note Styles Used In This

Manual
The following safety styles and symbols found throughout this manual indicate potentially
hazardous conditions to the operator, service personnel, or the equipment.
DANGER: Warns of a hazard that will result in severe personal injury or death.
WARNING: Warns of a hazard that may result in severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION: Warns of a hazard or an unsafe practice that can result in product or property
damage.
NOTE: A short piece of text giving information that augments the current text.
1.2 General Information

This manual should form part of the documentation package supplied by Cummins Power
Generation with specific generator sets. In the event that this manual has been supplied in
isolation please contact your authorized distributor.
NOTE: It is in the Operators interest to read and understand all Warnings and
Cautions contained within the documentation relevant to the generator set,
its operation and daily maintenance.
1.2.1 General Safety Precautions

Coolants under pressure have a higher boiling point than water. DO NOT open a radiator
or heat exchanger pressure cap while the engine is running. Allow the generator set to
cool and bleed the system pressure first. To prevent severe scalding, let engine cool down
before removing coolant pressure cap. Turn cap slowly, and do not open it fully until the
pressure has been relieved.
Used engine oils have been identified by some state or federal agencies as causing cancer
or reproductive toxicity. When checking or changing engine oil, take care not to ingest,
breathe the fumes, or contact used oil.
Keep multi-class ABC fire extinguishers handy. Class A fires involve ordinary combustible
materials such as wood and cloth; Class B fires, combustible and flammable liquid fuels
and gaseous fuels; Class C fires, live electrical equipment. (ref. NFPA No. 10).
Make sure that rags are not left on or near the engine.
A043V181 (Issue 1) 1
1. Important Safety Instructions 10-2012
Make sure generator set is mounted in a manner to prevent combustible materials from
accumulating under the unit.
Remove all unnecessary grease and oil from the unit. Accumulated grease and oil can
cause overheating and engine damage which present a potential fire hazard.
Keep the generator set and the surrounding area clean and free from obstructions.
Remove any debris from the set and keep the floor clean and dry.
Do not work on this equipment when mentally or physically fatigued, or after consuming
any alcohol or drug that makes the operation of equipment unsafe.
Substances in exhaust gases have been identified by some state or federal agencies as
causing cancer or reproductive toxicity. Take care not to breath or ingest or come into
contact with exhaust gases.
Do not store any flammable liquids, such as fuel, cleaners, oil, etc., near the generator set.
A fire or explosion could result.
Wear hearing protection when going near an operating generator set.
To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as radiator, turbo
charger and exhaust system.
1.3 Generator Set Safety Code

Before operating the generator set, read the manuals and become familiar with them and the
equipment. Safe and efficient operation can be achieved only if the equipment is properly
operated and maintained. Many accidents are caused by failure to follow fundamental rules
and precautions.
WARNING: Improper operation and maintenance can lead to severe personal injury, or
loss of life and property, by fire, electrocution, mechanical breakdown, or
exhaust gas asphyxiation. Read and follow all Safety Precautions, Warnings,
and Cautions throughout this manual and the documentation supplied with
your generator set.
WARNING: Lifting and repositioning of the generator set must only be carried out using
suitable lifting equipment, shackles, and spreader bars, in accordance with
local guidelines and legislation, by suitably trained and experienced
personnel. Incorrect lifting can result in severe personal injury, death, and/or
equipment damage. For more information, contact your authorized
distributor.
1.3.1 Moving Parts Can Cause Severe Personal Injury Or Death

Keep your hands, clothing, and jewelry away from moving parts.
Before starting work on the generator set, disconnect the battery charger from its AC
source, then disconnect the starting batteries using an insulated wrench, negative () cable
first. This will prevent accidental starting.
Make sure that fasteners on the generator set are secure. Tighten supports and clamps;
keep guards in position over fans, drive belts, etc.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry in the vicinity of moving parts or while working on
electrical equipment. Loose clothing and jewelry can become caught in moving parts.
2 A043V181 (Issue 1)
10-2012 1. Important Safety Instructions
If any adjustments must be made while the unit is running, use extreme caution around hot
manifolds, moving parts, etc.
1.3.2 Positioning of Generator Set - Open Sets

The area for positioning the set should be adequate and level and the area immediately around
the set must be free of any flammable material.
1.4 Electrical Shocks and Arc Flashes Can Cause

Severe Personal Injury or Death
WARNING: Any work with exposed energized circuits with potentials of 50 Volts AC or
75 Volts DC or higher poses a significant risk of electrical shock and
electrical arc flash. These silent hazards can cause severe injuries or death.
Refer to standard NFPA 70E or equivalent safety standards in corresponding
regions for details of the dangers involved and for the safety requirements.
Guidelines to follow when working on de-energized electrical systems:
Use proper PPE. Do not wear jewelry and make sure that any conductive items are
removed from pockets as these items can fall into equipment and the resulting short circuit
can cause shock or burning. Refer to standard NFPA 70E for PPE standards.
De-energize and lockout/tagout electrical systems prior to working on them.
Lockout/Tagout is intended to prevent injury due to unexpected start-up of equipment or
the release of stored energy. Please refer to the lockout/tagout section for more
information.
De-energize and lockout/tagout all circuits and devices before removing any protective
shields or making any measurements on electrical equipment.
Follow all applicable regional electrical and safety codes.
Guidelines to follow when working on energized electrical systems:
NOTE: It is the policy of Cummins Inc. to perform all electrical work in a de-
energized state. However, employees or suppliers may be permitted to
occasionally perform work on energized electrical equipment only when
qualified and authorized to do so and when troubleshooting, or if de-
energizing the equipment would create a greater risk or make the task
impossible and all other alternatives have been exhausted.
NOTE: Exposed energized electrical work is only allowed as per the relevant
procedures and must be undertaken by a Cummins authorized person with
any appropriate energized work permit for the work to be performed while
using proper PPE, tools and equipment.
In summary:
Do not tamper with or bypass interlocks unless you are authorized to do so.
Understand and assess the risks - use proper PPE. Do not wear jewelry and make sure
that any conductive items are removed from pockets as these items can fall into equipment
and the resulting short circuit can cause shock or burning. Refer to standard NFPA 70E for
PPE standards.
Make sure that an accompanying person who can undertake a rescue is nearby.

1.4.1 AC Supply and Isolation

It is the sole responsibility of the customer to provide AC power conductors for connection to
load devices and the means to isolate the AC input to the terminal box; these must comply to
local electrical codes and regulations. Refer to the wiring diagram supplied with the generator
set.
NOTE: Local electrical codes and regulations (for example BS EN 12601:2001) may
require the installation of a disconnect means for the generator set, either on
the generator set or where the generator set conductors enter a facility.
NOTE: The AC supply must have the correct over current and earth fault protection
according to local electrical codes and regulations. This equipment must be
earthed (grounded).
The disconnecting device is not provided as part of the generator set, and Cummins Power
Generation accepts no responsibility for providing the means of isolation.
1.4.2 AC Disconnect Sources

WARNING: The equipment may have more than one source of electrical energy.
Disconnecting one source without disconnecting the others presents a
shock hazard that can result in severe personal injury or death. Before
working on the equipment, disconnect and verify that all sources of electrical
energy have been removed.
1.4.3 Medium Voltage Equipment (601 V to 15 kV)

Medium voltage acts differently than low voltage. Special equipment and training is
required to work on or around medium voltage equipment. Operation and maintenance
must be done only by persons trained and experienced to work on such devices. Improper
use or procedures will result in severe personal injury or death.
Do not work on energized equipment. Unauthorized personnel must not be permitted near
energized equipment. Due to the nature of medium voltage electrical equipment, induced
voltage remains even after the equipment is disconnected from the power source. Plan the
time for maintenance with authorized personnel so that the equipment can be de-energized
and safely grounded.
1.5 Exhaust Gases Are Deadly

Provide an adequate exhaust system to properly expel discharged gases away from
enclosed or sheltered areas and areas where individuals are likely to congregate. Visually
and audibly inspect the exhaust daily for leaks per the maintenance schedule. Make sure
that exhaust manifolds are secured and not warped. Do not use exhaust gases to heat a
compartment.
Be sure the unit is well ventilated.
WARNING: Engine exhaust, and some of its constituents, are known to the state of
California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm.

10-2012 1. Important Safety Instructions
1.5.1 Exhaust Precautions

WARNING: Hot exhaust pipes and charge air pipes can cause severe personal injury or
death from direct contact, or from fire hazard.
WARNING: Hot exhaust gas can cause burns resulting in severe personal injury.
The exhaust outlet may be sited at the top or bottom of the generator set. Make sure that the
exhaust outlet is not obstructed. Personnel using this equipment must be made aware of the
exhaust position. Position the exhaust away from flammable materials - in the case of exhaust
outlets at the bottom, make sure that vegetation is removed from the vicinity of the exhaust.
WARNING: Inhalation of exhaust gases can result in serious personal injury or death. Be
sure deadly exhaust gas is piped outside and away from windows, doors, or
other inlets to buildings. Do not allow to accumulate in habitable areas.
WARNING: Contaminated insulation is a fire risk which can result in severe personal
injury.
The exhaust pipes may have some insulating covers fitted. If these covers become
contaminated by fuel or oil, they must be replaced before the generator set is run.
To minimize the risk of fire, make sure the following steps are observed:
Make sure that the engine is allowed to cool thoroughly before topping off the oil or
draining the fuel filters.
Clean the exhaust pipe thoroughly.
1.6 Earth Ground Connection

The neutral of the generator set may be required to be bonded to earth ground at the generator
location, or at a remote location depending on system design requirements. Consult the
engineering drawings for the facility or a qualified electrical design engineer for proper
installation.
NOTE: The end user is responsible to ensure that the ground connection point
surface area is clean and free of rust before making a connection.
NOTE: The end user is responsible for ensuring that an earthing arrangement that is
compliant with local conditions is established and tested before the
equipment is used.

5 Troubleshooting
5.1 Introduction
This chapter includes troubleshooting procedures for many common faults that can occur with
the generator set models listed on the front cover of this manual. For information on codes that
are not included in this manual, refer to the Controller Service Manual (900-0666 for
PowerCommand Controller 2.3 or 900-0670 for PowerCommand Controller 3.3).
5.2 Safety Considerations

WARNING: Many troubleshooting procedures present hazards that can result in severe
personal injury or death. Only trained and experienced service personnel
with knowledge of fuels, electricity, and machinery hazards should perform
service procedures. Review the safety precautions in Chapter 1 on page 1.
WARNING: Contacting high voltage components can cause electrocution, resulting in
severe personal injury or death. Keep the output box covers in place during
troubleshooting.
High voltages are present when the generator set is running. Do not open the generator output
box while the generator set is running.
WARNING: Ignition of explosive battery gases can cause severe personal injury or
death. Arcing at battery terminals, light switch or other equipment, flame,
pilot lights and sparks can ignite battery gas. Do not smoke, or switch a
trouble light ON or OFF near the battery. Discharge static electricity from
your body before touching the batteries by first touching a grounded metal
surface.
Ventilate the battery area before working on or near a batteryWear
gogglesStop the generator set and disconnect the charger before
disconnecting the battery cablesDisconnect the negative () cable first and
reconnect it last using an insulated wrench.
CAUTION: Disconnect the battery charger from the AC source before disconnecting the
battery cables. Otherwise, disconnecting cables can result in voltage spikes
damaging to DC control circuits of the generator set.
WARNING: Accidental starting of the generator set can cause severe personal injury or
death. Prevent accidental starting by disconnecting the negative () cable
from the battery terminal with an insulated wrench.
When troubleshooting a generator set that is shut down, make certain the generator set cannot
be accidentally restarted as follows:
1. Make sure the generator set is in the Off mode.
2. Turn off or remove AC power from the battery charger.
3. Using an insulated wrench, remove the negative () battery cable from the generator set
starting battery.

5. Troubleshooting 10-2012
5.3 InPower Service Tool

The InPowerTM service tool can be used in troubleshooting to perform tests, verify control inputs
and outputs, and test protective functions. Refer to the InPower User's Guide, provided with the
InPower software for test procedures.
InPower, when used improperly, can cause symptoms like warnings and shutdowns that appear
to be a defective base board. When these problems occur, always verify that a self-test or fault
simulation (override) have not been left enabled with InPower. If you do not have InPower, or
the enabled fault simulation(s) cannot be found using InPower, disconnect battery power to
disable the test or override condition.
Make sure that parameter adjustments and time delays, related to the fault condition, have been
appropriately set for the application. It may be necessary to write the initial capture file to the
device or update the calibration file.
Updating a calibration file requires the InPower Pro version. Confirm that the installed calibration
part number matches the serial plate information.
CAUTION: Using the wrong calibration file can result in equipment damage. Do not swap base
boards from another generator set model.
Some features are not available until the hardware for that feature is installed and InPower Pro
is used to update (enable) that feature. Confirm that the feature is installed and enabled prior to
troubleshooting the base board for symptoms related to a feature.
5.4 Network Applications and Customer Inputs

In applications with networks and remote customer inputs, the generator set may start
unexpectedly or fail to crank as a result of these inputs. These symptoms may appear to be
caused by the base board. Verify that the remote input is not causing the symptom or isolate the
control from these inputs before troubleshooting the control.
5.5 Troubleshooting Procedures

The following list of troubleshooting procedures are a guide to help you evaluate problems with
the generator set. You can save time if you read through the manual ahead of time and
understand the system.
Try to think through the problem. Go over what was done during the last service call. The
problem could be as simple as a loose wire, an opened fuse, or a tripped circuit breaker.
NOTE: Each fault code warning" can be changed to a shutdown" using InPower.
Default settings are used in this manual. It is recommended that all changes
to settings be recorded at each site to aid in the troubleshooting of the
generator set.
This section contains the following information:
How to troubleshoot a local/remote failure to crank problem when the control panel does
not indicate any fault condition.
How to troubleshoot engine problems that are not within the detectable range of the PC

5.7.2 Code 359 - Fail to Start

Logic:
If the engine fails to start, fault 359 (shutdown) becomes active.
Possible Causes:
1. Battery voltage is low, interrupted, or there is a bad connection
2. Insufficient / low fuel level
3. Fuel system restriction is above normal
4. Customer supplied fuel shutoff valve solenoid malfunction
5. Air intake system restriction is above normal
6. Incorrect starter disconnect speed
7. Incorrect PCC or ECM calibration
8. Poor fuel quality
1. Battery voltage is low, interrupted, or there is a bad connection.
a. Make sure the battery is at its full potential. Check the battery terminals for being
corroded and/or a loose connection. Also, check power cables for any damage. If
necessary, replace the battery and properly reconnect. Refer to fault code 441 on
page 81 for low voltage troubleshooting.
b. Verify for a good connection at the starter solenoid terminals.
2. Insufficient/low fuel level.
a. Open the fuel tank cap and verify the fuel level is below the pickup tube in the tank.
Add fuel to the fuel tank if the fuel level is found to be low.
78 A043V181 (Issue 1)
3. Fuel system restriction is above normal.

a. Verify that the fuel supply is not restricted.
Check for the presence of fuel leaks and correct them.
Open any closed shut-off valves in the fuel line supplying the engine.
Replace fuel filters if found to be overly contaminated.
Bleed the air from the fuel system; refer to the engine service manual.
Dirty or clogged fuel injectors; refer to the engine service manual.
4. Customer supplied fuel shutoff valve solenoid malfunction
a. If installed, test for the proper operation of the customer supplied fuel shut off
solenoid. Attempt to start the engine and check for B+ at the fuel solenoid coil. If B+ is
not present, the fuel solenoid is defective and/or miss-wired.
5. Air intake system restriction is above normal.
a. Check the air restriction intake system for possible restrictions and eliminate the
sources of existing restrictions. Replace the air filter element if necessary.
6. Incorrect starter disconnect speed.
a. Connect to the PCC with the InPower service tool. Make sure the Starter Disconnect
Speed is set to the correct value. Go to Setup > Advanced Setup > OEM Setup >
OEM Engine Setup > Cranking. Check the engine manual for proper start
disconnect RPM value.
7. Incorrect PCC or ECM calibration.
a. Using the display or the InPower Service tool, verify the calibration in the PCC control.
If the calibration in the PCC control matches the latest calibration on the InCal
website, then the calibration is correct. If it does not, update the calibration to the
latest version.
b. Using the InSite service tool, verify the calibration in the ECM. If the calibration in the
8. Poor Fuel Quality.
a. Components of the supply fuel may be degrading the fuels combustibility. Conduct a
chemical assessment of the fuel to make sure its constituents are per specification;
refer to the Fuels for Cummins Engines Service Bulletin (Cummins Service Bulletin
Number 3379001-13).
5.7.3 Code 427 - CAN Data Link Degraded

Logic:
If the communication between the Engine Control Module (ECM) and the PCC is severed, fault
code 427 (warning) becomes active.
Possible Causes:
1. The ECM has lost power or failed.
2. The CAN datalink has failed.
A043V181 (Issue 1) 79

1. The ECM has lost power or failed.
a. The Emergency Stop (E-Stop) button is a closed relay when it is pulled out (not
active), and an open relay when pressed (active). The E-Stop button on the Operator
Panel disables power to the engine ECM when it is pressed (active); CAN-LINK
communications will cease when power to the ECM is lost. Make sure that the E-Stop
is not active on the PCC. Follow the procedure below:
Reset the Local/Remote Emergency Stop:
a. Pull out (not active) the Local/Remote Emergency stop button.
b. Press the Off button on the operator panel.
c. Press the Reset button.
d. Select Manual or Auto as required.
b. Make sure that the emergency stop button is functioning correctly. Measure the
outputs of the E-Stop (Normally Open and Normally Closed contacts) with a voltmeter
and verify that the outputs switch state correctly when engaged and disengaged.
a. With the emergency stop being in the pressed position, remove the configurable
leads from TB1-15 and TB1-16 and check for continuity between these two
leads. If the circuit is open, isolate to the emergency stop switch and wiring.
b. Repair or replace the emergency stop switch or the wiring as necessary.
c. Check the wiring coming from the base board.
a. Verify the existence of a bad connection, an open or a shorted low condition at
the J26 ribbon cable output coming from the baseboard. Replace the ribbon
cable if necessary.
d. The keyswitch control relay is a normally open relay. Make sure that B+ is available at
the relay input (E-Stop B+), then verify for voltage presence at the relay output. If
there is a B+ at both, the input and the output of the keyswitch control relay, the relay
is not faulty. If B+ is noted at the input but not at the output of the keyswitch control

2. Faulty analog sensor connection

3. Wiring issue
5. There is a possibility of a base board fault
1. Load Govern KVAR Setpoint RC Enable" is configured incorrectly (high)
a. The "Load Govern KVAR Setpoint RC Enable" limits the kVAR Load Govern voltage
input from 05 volts when set to "Enable" (at TB9-3 and TB9-2). If the voltage input
into the kVAR Load Govern input exceeds 5 VDC, the generator set control locks the
kVAR output to zero since the control logic states that the voltage input is out of range
and displays event/fault code 1324. When the "Load Govern KVAR Setpoint RC
Enable" parameter is set to "Disable," a greater input voltage than 5 VDC is
recognized; a 24 VDC input is treated as a 5 VDC input. To change the "Load Govern
KVAR Setpoint RC Enable" parameter appropriately for the application from the
display, go to: Setup > Paralleling Setup > Basic > Load Govern KVAR Setpoint
RC Enable and set appropriately.

4. Faulty fuel sensor
a. Check the fuel level in the fuel tank. If the fuel level is low, then add fuel and clear the
warning fault by pressing the Reset button on the operator panel.
2. The "Low fuel Level threshold" parameter is configured incorrectly
a. Proper fuel level setup requires the fuel sensor resistance to be measured with a full
fuel tank. This resistance value of the fuel sensor with a full fuel tank will be entered at
parameter "100% resistance;" then the correct "Low fuel Level threshold" parameter
needs to be set in the PCC. If the "Low fuel Level threshold" is set too high (for
example, 50%) then the low fuel level alarm will activate anytime the fuel tank is
below 50%; check the low fuel level setup parameter. To access the input
configuration on the Operator Panel, go to Setup > PCCNet Setup > and set the
"Low fuel Level threshold" trim appropriately for the application.
3. Fuel level sensor incorrectly wired
a. Make sure that the sensor is correctly wired to the AUX 101. Check the wiring for an
open/short circuit from the fuel sensor to the configured input on the AUX 101 that is
configured for the "Fuel Level." If an open/short circuit condition is found, correct the
wiring. For AUX 101 installation, connection and setup information for the fuel sensor,
refer to the instruction sheet C693b or later.
4. Faulty fuel sensor
a. Measure the resistance between the fuel level signal pin and the fuel level return pin.
The resistance should be between 600 ohms to 2500 ohms when the tank is set full.
Replace the sensor if the resistance value is below the recommended threshold when
the fuel tank is full.
b. Visually inspect the switch for proper operation, intended range of movement and
functionality. If any defects, movement restriction or physical damage are detected the
switch unit should be replaced.

a. Check the engine DC alternator. If normal charging voltage is below 13.0 VDC in a
12V system or below 25.0 VDC in a 24V system, then replace the DC alternator.
5. Wiring issue
a. Measure the battery voltage at the battery terminals while the generator set is
cranking; then measure the battery voltage at the base board input while the
generator set is cranking. Measure the voltage at B+ (J20-9, J20-10, J20-20, J20-21)
and B (negative) input (J20-2, J20-4, J20-7, J20-12). If the voltage at the battery
terminals and the PCC is not the same then check the harness and replace if
necessary.
108 A043V181 (Issue 1)

b. Check continuity from J20-9, J20-10, J20-20, and J20-21 to B+ terminal at the
batteries. Resistance should be less than 5 Ohms. Check continuity from J20-1 to the
B- terminal at the batteries. Resistance should be less than 5 Ohms. Repair or
replace wiring/connectors as necessary.
5.7.37 Code 1444 - kW Overload

Logic:
If the Overload Warning Threshold has been exceeded for the time that is registered in the
"Overload Warning Set Time" parameter, fault code 1444 (warning) becomes active.
Possible Causes:
1. The "Overload Threshold" % parameter configured incorrectly (low)
2. Short in the load or load cables
3. Incorrect CT Ratio, CTs, or CT connections
4. Incorrect PT Ratio, PTs, or PT connections
1. The "Overload Threshold" % parameter configured incorrectly (low)
a. To access the input configuration on the operator panel, go to Setup > Genset Setup
and set the Overload Threshold trim appropriately for the application. Refer to the
Parameters section of the Controller Service Manual to see the default value for
overload (CAUTION: setting the overload threshold too high can cause damage to the
alternator).
a. An overload condition has occurred. With the generator set being turned off, visually
inspect the load and load cables for damage and/or short circuit. Repair if necessary.
b. Make sure that new loads have not been added to the generator set. Revisit the
generator set sizing process to make sure that the generator set is correctly sized for
the application (reference the T-030 manual).
3. Incorrect CT Ratio, CTs, or CT connections
a. Verify the functionality of CTs by checking the CT Ratio, CTs, and CT wire
connections. Refer to the fault code 2814 on page 172 for the CT troubleshooting.
4. Incorrect PT Ratio, PTs, or PT connections
a. Verify the functionality of PTs by checking the PT Ratio, PTs and PT wire
connections. Refer to the fault code 2816 on page 173 for the PT troubleshooting.
5.7.38 Code 1445 - Short Circuit

Logic:
If the generator output current has exceeded 175% of rated current, fault code 1445 (shutdown)
becomes active.
NOTE: This fault remains active and cannot be reset until the Alternator Overheat
Integral time has expired (which takes up to five minutes). The Alternator
Overheat Integral time allows the alternator to cool down before allowing a
restart.
A043V181 (Issue 1) 109

Possible Causes:
2. Faulty CTs, incorrect CT ratio, CTs, or CT connections
a. With the generator set being turned off, visually inspect the load and load cables for
damage and/or short circuit. Repair if necessary. Repair if necessary.
2. Faulty CTs, incorrect CT ratio, CTs, or CT connections
a. Verify the CT connections are correct from the CTs to the input terminals (J12-1, J12-
2, J12-3, J12-4, J12-5, and J12-6) of the base board.
b. Make sure the PCC is set up for the correct CT ratio. Refer to fault code 2814 on
page 172 for CT ratio troubleshooting information.
c. With a meter, check for the secondary CT input (1A or 5A) into the baseboard and
verify that the value corresponds to the CT primary current sensing. (For example: If
the PCC is setup with a CT Ratio of 1000:5, then the secondary current input into the
base board should not be more than 5 A).
5.7.39 Code 1446 - High AC Voltage

Logic:
If one or more of the phase voltages exceeds the High AC Voltage Threshold % value for the
time period that is registered in the High AC Voltage Delay, fault code 1446 (shutdown)
becomes active.
Possible Causes:
1. Fault simulation feature is enabled
2. The High AC Voltage Trip parameter is configured incorrectly for the application
3. The High AC Voltage Threshold is configured incorrectly (low) for the application
4. Faulty PTs, incorrect PT ratio, PTs, PT connections
5. Faulty Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) or wiring
6. Faulty PMG
1. Fault simulation feature is enabled
a. Connect with InPower service tool to ensure that the fault simulation for High AC
Voltage % Override is not enabled.
2. The High AC Voltage trip parameter is incorrectly set for the application.
a. Make sure that the High AC Voltage Trip Characteristic parameter is set incorrectly
for the application.
If the PCC is set up as "Inverse time," it will be more sensitive to voltage spikes and
will trip more rapidly; Inverse time follows the Instantaneous High AC Voltage
Threshold.
110 A043V181 (Issue 1)

If the PCC is set to "Fixed Time," it allows a greater time delay until shutdown when
voltage overshoot. When trying to start a large motor, the Fixed time setting is
recommended. This parameter works with the "High AC Voltage Delay" parameter.
To access the configuration menu on the Operator Panel or via InPower, go to Setup
> OEM Setup > OEM ALT Setup > High AC Voltage Trip and set the "High AC
Voltage Trip Characteristic" trim appropriately for the application.
3. The High AC Voltage Threshold is configured incorrectly (low) for the application
a. To access the High AC Voltage configuration menu on the operator panel, go to
Setup > OEM Setup > OEM ALT Setup > High AC Voltage Threshold and set the
"High AC Voltage Threshold" trim appropriately for the application. Refer to the
Parameters section of the Controller Service Manual to see the default value for High
AC Voltage.
a. Visually inspect the connections from the alternator to the PTs, and from the PTs to
the base board (three phase inputs on the base board: L1 = J22-1, L2 = J22-2, L3 =
J22-3, LN = J22-4, For single phase, use L1, L2 and LN). If the wires are incorrectly
connected or there is an open circuit, correct the wiring issue (If the voltage input is
less than 600 VAC, a PT is not required).
b. Make sure that the PCC is set up with the correct PT ratio (primary vs. secondary).
Refer to fault code 2816 on page 173 for troubleshooting information on the PT ratio.
To access the PT Ratio configuration menu through the Operator Panel, go to Setup
> OEM Setup > OEM ALT Setup > PT Primary or PT Sec and set the PT Ratio
appropriately for the application.
c. Measure the voltage going into the PT from the alternator.
WARNING: High voltages are present in this step. Special equipment and training is
required to work on or around high voltage equipment. Operation and
maintenance must be done only by persons trained and experienced to work
on such devices. Improper use or procedures may result in severe personal
injury or death.
Then measure the voltage output of PT to the base board (three phase inputs on the
base board: L1 = J22-1, L2 = J22-2, L3 = J22-3, LN = J22-4; for single phase, use L1,
L2 and LN). The control calibrated PT ratio (PT voltage input: PT voltage output)
should match the voltage input into and output of the PT.
If the control calibrated PT ratio matches the voltage input into the PT but does not
match the voltage output (for example, PCC calibrated PT Ratio is 13,500:480, the
voltage input into the PT is 13,500 VAC, but the output of the PT is 589 VAC instead
of 480 VAC), replace the PT module.
a. Measure the output of the AVR Powerstage (AUX 103) at J17-1 (positive) and J17-2
(negative) while the generator set is running at no load, idle speed.
In a three phase configuration, the output voltage at J17-1 and J17-2 should be:
912 VDC at No Load, or 3841 VDC at Full Load.
In a single phase configuration, the output voltage at J17-1 and J17-2 should be:
5.5 7.5 VDC at No Load, or 1921 VDC at Full Load.
A043V181 (Issue 1) 111

If the voltage output of J17-1 and J17-2 is constantly high (full load output voltage),
then the AVR Powerstage (Aux 103) module could be at fault.
To verify, disconnect the J17 connector from the AUX 103 AVR output (the AVR
module is no longer connected to the field wires) and place a 912 VDC power supply
to the field wires (J17-1 is positive, and J17-2 is negative). If the generator set
produces adequate voltage (Nominal Voltage) with the power supply connected to the
field wires, the problem has been isolated to the AVR Powerstage (AUX 103) module
or the base board.
b. Visually inspect the wiring on J19 (interconnect) coming from the base board and J18
(AVR power) coming from the PMG for damage, bad connection, and short or open
circuits.
6. Faulty PMG
a. Start the generator set and run at rated speed. Measure the voltages at the AVR
terminals P2 (J18-1), P3 (J18-2), and P4 (J18-3). These should be balanced and
within the following ranges:
50 Hz generators - 170180 Volts
Should the voltages be unbalanced, stop the generator set, remove the PMG sheet
metal cover from the non-drive end bracket, and disconnect the multi-pin plug in the
PMG output leads. Check leads P2, P3, and P4 for continuity. Check the PMG stator
resistances between output leads. These should be balanced and within +/10% of
2.3 ohms. If resistances are unbalanced and/or incorrect, the PMG stator must be
replaced. If the voltages are balanced but low and the PMG stator winding resistances
are correct, the PMG rotor must be replaced.
5.7.40 Code 1447 - Low AC Voltage

Logic:

the time period that is registered in the Low AC Voltage Delay parameter, fault code 1447
Possible Causes:
1. Fault simulation is enabled
2. The "Low AC Voltage Threshold" parameter configured incorrectly (high)
3. Qverload
6. Faulty PMG
7. Faulty rotating rectifier assembly
112 A043V181 (Issue 1)


a. Connect with the InPower service tool and make sure that the Fault simulation for Low
AC Voltage % override is not enabled. Go to Setup > Test > Protection Verification
> Alternator Protection > Undervoltage and set the parameter appropriately for the
application.
2. The "Low AC Voltage Threshold" parameter configured incorrectly (high)
a. To access the Low AC Voltage configuration menu on the Operator Panel go to
Setup > OEM Setup > OEM ALT Setup > Low AC Voltage Threshold and set the
"Low AC Voltage Threshold" Parameter appropriately for the application. Refer to the
Parameters section of the Controller Service Manual to see the default value for Low
AC Voltage.
3. Overload
a. Make sure that the load is within the proper operating range. Verify for the absence of
inrush current or current spikes. Test the operation of the genset by disconnecting the
load and restarting the unit. Correct any overload if found.
a. Check the connections from the alternator to the PT and from the PT to the base
board (Three phase inputs on the base board: L1 = J22-1, L2 = J22-2, L3 = J22-3, LN
= J22-4, For single phase, use L1, L2 and LN). If the wires are incorrectly connected,
or there is an open or short circuit, correct the wiring issue (if the voltage input is
less than 600 VAC, a PT is not required.).
b. Make sure that the PCC is set up with the correct PT ratio (primary vs. secondary).
Reference fault code 2817 on page 174 for troubleshooting information on the PT
ratio. To access the PT Ratio configuration menu on the Operator Panel, go to Setup
> OEM Setup > OEM ALT Setup > PT Primary or PT Sec and set the PT Ratio
c. Measure the voltage going into the PT from the alternator.
required to work on or around high-voltage equipment. Operation and
on such devices. Improper use or procedures may result in severe personal
injury or death.
Measure the voltage output of PT to the base board; (Three phase inputs on the base
board: L1 = J22-1, L2 = J22-2, L3 = J22-3, LN = J22-4, For single phase, use L1, L2,
and LN). The control calibrated PT ratio (PT voltage input: PT voltage output) should
match the voltage input into the PT and voltage output of the PT. If the control
calibrated PT ratio matches the voltage input into the PT, but does not match the
voltage output (for example, PCC calibrated PT ratio is 13,500:480, the voltage input
into the PT is 13,500 VAC, but the output of the PT is 320 VAC instead of 480 VAC),
replace the PT module.
A043V181 (Issue 1) 113


a. Check the Power Supply to the AVR. Make sure that the 10 Amp fuses at J18-1 and
J18-2 are not open; replace if open circuit. Make sure that the AVR has sufficient
power at:
J18-1 and J18-2 if it is a Shunt application; or
J18-1, J18-2, and J18-3 if it is a PMG application
If the AVR has no power, you will need to troubleshoot the power supply connections
and wiring.
b. Measure the output of the AVR Powerstage (AUX 103) at J17-1 (positive) and J17-2
(negative) while the generator set is running at no load, idle speed.
In a three phase configuration, the output voltage at J17-1 and J17-2 should be:
912 VDC at No Load, or 3841 VDC at Full Load.
In a single phase configuration, the output voltage at J17-1 and J17-2 should be:
5.5 7.5 VDC at No Load, or 1921 VDC at Full Load.
If the voltage output of J171 and J172 is constantly zero or less than 912 for a
three phase configuration, then the AVR Powerstage (Aux 103) module could be at
fault.
To verify, disconnect the J17 connector from the AUX 103 AVR output (the AVR
module is no longer connected to the field wires) and place a 912 VDC power supply
to the field wires (J17-1 is positive, and J17-2 is negative). If the genset produces
adequate voltage (Nominal Voltage) with the power supply connected to the field
wires, the problem has been isolated to the AVR Powerstage (AUX 103) module or
the base board.
c. Visually inspect the wiring on J19 (interconnect) coming from the baseboard and J18
(AVR power) coming from the PMG for damage, bad connection, and short or open
circuits.
6. Faulty PMG
a. Start the generator set and run at rated speed. Measure the voltages at the AVR
terminals P2 (J18-1), P3 (J18-2), and P4 (J18-3). These should be balanced and
within the following ranges:
Should the voltages be unbalanced, stop the generator set, remove the PMG cover
from the non drive end bracket and disconnect the multi-pin plug in the PMG output
leads. Check leads P2, P3, and P4 for continuity. Check the PMG stator resistances
between output leads. These should be balanced and within +/10% of 2.3 ohms. If
resistances are unbalanced and/or incorrect the PMG stator must be replaced. If the
voltages are balanced but low and the PMG stator winding resistances are correct,
the PMG rotor must be replaced.
114 A043V181 (Issue 1)

7. Faulty rotating rectifier assembly

a. This procedure is carried out with leads J17-1 and J17-2 disconnected at the AVR or
transformer control rectifier bridge and apply a 12 volt D.C. supply to leads J17-1
(positive) and J17-2 (negative). Start the set and run at rated speed. Measure the
voltages at the main output terminals L1, L2 and L3. If voltages are balanced but
below the nominal, there is a fault in the rotating diode assembly or the main
excitation windings. The diodes on the main rectifier assembly can be checked with a
multimeter. The flexible leads connected to each diode (CR1CR6) should be
disconnected at the terminal end, and the forward and reverse resistance checked. A
healthy diode will indicate a very high resistance (infinity) in the reverse direction, and
a low resistance in the forward direction. A faulty diode will give a full deflection
reading in both directions with the test meter on the 10,000 ohms scale, or an infinity
reading in both directions. On an electronic digital meter a healthy diode will give a
low reading in one direction, and a high reading in the other. Replace diode(s) if found
to be faulty. Refer to the alternator service manual for any additional information
5.7.41 Code 1448 - Underfrequency

Logic:
If the frequency has dropped below the "Underfrequency Threshold" for the time period that is
registered in the "Underfrequency Delay" parameter, fault code 1448 (shutdown) becomes
active.
Possible Causes:

5. Overload
Rating. If the generator set is producing correct frequency with no load, but shutting
down on underfrequency when the generator set picks up certain loads, the
underfrequency shutdowns are being cause by the load. Motors, Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS), Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), Medical Diagnostic Imagining
Equipment, Fire Pumps, and certain types of lighting have a considerable and
different influence on a generator and might require starting these loads when there is
a minimum load on the generator set. Revisit the generator set sizing process to
make sure that the generator set is correctly sized for the application, especially if
new loads have been introduced into the system (reference the T-030 manual).

between the sensors and the tone wheels is appropriate.
b. Verify the speed/position sensor supplies. Disconnect the engine harness connector
from the sensors and measure the supply voltage at pin 16 (crankshaft) and 37
(camshaft) of the 60 pin connector. The reading should be between 4.75 and 5.25
VDC. If not, check for harness open condition, bad connection, or an ECM issue.
c. Verify the speed/position sensor signal (sense) voltage. Measure the signal voltage at
pin 27 (crankshaft) and 26 (camshaft) of the 60 pin connector. The reading should be
between 0.46 and 4.56 VDC. If not, check for harness open condition, bad
connection, or an ECM issue. Also, verify the values of the sense voltages with those
on the InSite service tool.

on the InSite service tool.
a. Disconnect harness from ECM and sensor(s). Measure the resistance in each pin
from ECM to sensor. Resistance should be 5 ohms or less. Repair or replace
harness as necessary.
118 A043V181 (Issue 1)

9. Air in the fuel system

a. Fuel lines might have loose connections or air is trapped within the fuel system. To
verify for the absence of air in the fuel system connect the mechanical gauge adapter
to the fuel system per the engine service manual. Start generator and monitor for air
bubbles in the fuel line. Make sure there is steady flow of fuel with no bubbles for
about 5 minutes after start.
5.7.43 Code 1451 - Genset/Bus Voltage Mismatch

Logic:
Five seconds after the generator set circuit breaker (CB) closes, the base board continuously
verifies whether the generator set and bus voltages are within 5% of each other. If the difference
between the generator set and bus voltage is greater than 5%, fault code 1451 becomes active.

If a mismatch in the genset position status exists, fault code 1454 (warning) (Generator Circuit
Breaker Position Error) becomes active.
Possible Causes:
1. Mismatch in the Genset position sensing
2. Faulty Genset CB
1. Mismatch in the Genset position sensing
a. Verify the wiring of the CB position status from the Genset breaker to the base board.
check the display if the base board is setup as single or dual sensing. To access the
b. When the Genset Breaker Position contact is set to Single, the base board monitors
current going thru the Genset CB (Amps going through the CB means it is closed) and
CB A position status to determine the position of the Genset CB. If there is a
mismatch between the current-based breaker position and CB A position sensing,
fault code 1454 will occur. Verify the connection at CB A (NO) status at TB10-7 and
the Return at TB10-2, and make sure that an open/short circuit does not exist.
c. When the CB position sensing is set up as dual, verify the connection at CB A (NO)
status at TB10-7 and the Return at TB10-2 and also verify the connection at CB B
(NC) status at TB10-8 and TB10-2 (Return).
A043V181 (Issue 1) 121

The input status at CB A (NO) and CB B (NC) should be opposite; one input will be
open while the other is closed, if they are the same, check the wiring between the
Genset breaker and the CB status input on the base board. Make sure that the
connections on the base board are correctly connected and that a short and/or open
circuit does not exist. The physical connection to the base board should match the
status of the CB position; go to Paralleling Status >Paralleling Status-Iso Bus >
Genset CB Position Status, and make sure that the status of the CB position
matches the connection.
2. Faulty Genset CB
a. Make sure that the generator set circuit breaker is not defective. Refer to the genset
5.7.47 Code 1455 - Utility CB Pos Error

Logic:
If a mismatch in the utility position status exists, fault code 1455 (warning) (Utility Circuit Breaker
Position Error) becomes active.
Possible Causes:
1. Utility Single Mode Verify Switch is inactive
2. Mismatch in the Utility position sensing
3. Faulty utility CB
1. Utility Single Mode Verify Switch is inactive
a. Fault code 1455 will become active if the generator set is set up to operate in the
following generator set application types; Utility Single, Utility Multiple, or PTC, and
the Utility Single Mode Verify Switch is not active. The base board will not close the
Utility breaker until the Utility Single Mode Verify Switch input is activated. This
procedure is to make sure that the whole system has been rechecked before allowing
the base board to close the Utility Breaker. To activate the Utility Single Mode Verify
Switch, make a connection between TB10-12 (Single Mode Verify Input) and TB10-16
(Return); then press the fault reset button on the display to clear the fault.

Utility Breaker Position Contacts.
b. When the Utility Breaker Position contact is set to Single, the base board monitors
current going through the Utility CB (Amps going through the CB means it is closed)
and CB A position status to determine the position of the Utility CB. If there is a
mismatch between the current-based breaker position and CB A position sensing,
fault code 1455 will occur. Verify the connection at CB A (NO) status at TB10-3 and
the Return at TB10-1, and make sure that an open/short circuit does not exist.
122 A043V181 (Issue 1)

c. If the CB position sensing is set up as dual, verify the connection at CB A (NO) status
at TB10-3 and the Return at TB10-1 and also verify the connection at CB B (NC)
status at TB10-4 and TB10-1 (Return). The input status at CB A (NO) and CB B (NC)
should be opposite; one input will be open while the other is closed. If they are the
same, check the wiring between the Utility breaker and the CB status input on the
base board. Make sure that the connections on the base board are correctly
connected and that a short and/or an open circuit does not exist. The physical
connection to the base board should match the status of the CB position; go to

5.7.48 Code 1456 - Bus Out of Sync Range

Logic:
If the synchronizer cannot be enabled because the Bus Voltage and/or Frequency are not within
60 110% of the nominal, fault code 1456 (warning) becomes active.
Possible Causes:
1. System bus voltage cables are incorrectly wired or there is an open circuit to the paralleling
breaker
2. System bus voltage sensing connections are incorrectly wired at the base board
3. Faulty PT
1. System bus voltage cables are incorrectly wired or there is an open circuit to the paralleling
breaker
maintenance must be done only by persons trained and qualified to work on
such devices. Improper use or procedures may result in severe personal
injury or death.
a. The system bus has lost a phase; using a phase rotation meter or a synchronizing
light, verify that the phase rotation of the system bus at the paralleling breaker is
correct, in synchronization with the generator set phase rotation. For proper phase
rotation measurement procedures, refer to the phase rotation meter instructions. If the
phase rotation check shows that a phase is missing, check for blown fuses and an
open circuit at the system bus voltage cables connected to the paralleling breaker.
A043V181 (Issue 1) 123

2. System bus voltage sensing connections are incorrectly wired at the base board
a. If the nominal voltage is 600 VAC or lower, make sure that the voltage sensing
connections are correct.
a. Measure the phase rotation and voltage input into the base board from the
System bus at L1, TB7-1; L2, TB7-2; and L3, TB7-3. The voltage should match
nominal voltage, and the phase rotation should be "L1-L2-L3." For proper phase
rotation measurement procedures, refer to the phase rotation meter instructions.
If the phase rotation and/or voltage are not correct, re-check the wiring.
b. If the nominal voltage is over 600 VAC, check the voltage sensing connections from
the base board to the PT and the PT to the System bus.
a. Measure the phase rotation and voltage input into the base board from the PT
(Potential Transformer) at L1, TB7-1; L2, TB7-2; and L3, TB7-3. The voltage
should match nominal voltage and the phase rotation should be "L1-L2-L3." For
proper phase rotation measurement procedures, refer to the phase rotation
meter instructions. If the phase rotation and/or voltage are not correct, re-check
the wiring from the base board to the PT.
b. Measure the phase rotation and voltage input into the TB8-5 and TB8-1.
3. Faulty PT
a. With a calibrated voltage meter, measure the voltage input and output of the PT. The
input and output of the PT should be proportional (for example, Inputs: L1 = 4160, L2
= 4160, L3 = 4160; Outputs: L1 = 120, L2 = 120, L3 = 120). If the inputs and outputs
of the PT are not proportional, replace the PT.
a. If the phase rotation and the system bus voltage sensing connections are correct at
the input of the base board, L1, TB7-1; L2, TB7-2; L3, TB7-3, but the display shows
incorrect bus voltage and phase rotation, replace the base board. To check the
System bus voltage and phase rotation from the display, go to Paralleling Status
Iso Bus Sc 1 > Bus Avg Voltage and Paralleling Status > Phase Rot.
5.7.49 Code 1457 - Fail to Synchronize

Logic:
If synchronizer has not met the synch check conditions for the time period that is registered in
the Fail To Synchronize Time" parameter, fault code 1457 (warning) becomes active.
Possible Causes:
1. Improper adjustment of the generator set or bus voltages
2. Faulty PTs
3. Permissive window parameters are set too tight
4. Engine speed is unstable
124 A043V181 (Issue 1)


1. Improper adjustment of the generator set or bus voltages
a. Make sure that that the base board is calibrated correctly by checking that the
generator set is operating at proper voltage and frequency. With a calibrated
Frequency and Voltage meter, measure the frequency and voltage output of the
generator set at the alternator; while through the display, making sure that the base
board is displaying the same voltage and frequency that is shown on the meter. (Go
to the Servicing the Generator section in the Alternator Service Manual).
b. Make sure that the baseboard is calibrated correctly by checking that the generator
set is operating at proper voltage and frequency. With a calibrated frequency and
voltage meters, measure the frequency and voltage output of the genset at the
alternator; while thru the display or InPower, verify that the baseboard is displaying
the same voltage and frequency that are shown on the meters (refer to the Setup and
Calibration section in the Controller Service Manual for additional information on
calibration procedures).
c. Make sure that that the base board is calibrated correctly by checking the System bus
voltage and frequency. With a calibrated Frequency and Voltage meter, measure the
frequency and voltage of the System bus; while through the display, making sure that
the base board is displaying the same voltage and frequency that is shown on the
meter. To view and adjust the Bus Voltage, go to Setup > Calibration > L12 (L23,
L31) Adjust > Genset Bus L1L2 (L2L3, L3L1) Voltage Calibration and, if
appropriate, change the Bus Voltage to reflect the voltage that is shown on the meter.
To view and adjust the Bus Frequency, go to Setup > Adjust > Frequency
Calibration > Frequency Calibration and, if appropriate, change the Bus Frequency
to reflect the frequency that is shown on the meter.
2. Faulty PTs
a. With a calibrated voltage meter, measure the voltage input and output of the PT. The
input and output of the PT should be proportional (ex. Inputs: L1 = 4160, L2 = 4160,
L3 = 4160; Outputs: L1 = 120, L2 = 120, L3 = 120). If the inputs and outputs of the PT
are not proportional, replace the PT.
3. Permissive window parameters are set too tight
a. The synch check function monitors the generator set and the bus voltage, frequency,
and phase rotation, to determine whether the two sources can be paralleled. The
difference in voltage, frequency, and phase rotation between the generator set and
system bus must be smaller than the Permissive parameter windows. Set the
following parameters appropriately for the application:
Permissive Frequency Window
Permissive Voltage Window
Permissive Window Time
Permissive Phase Window
To access the Permissive Parameters Window setup menu from the display, refer to
the Parameters section of the Controller Service Manual for the default value and
limits. And in InPower, go to Setup > Paralleling Setup > Basic to find these
parameter adjustments.
A043V181 (Issue 1) 125

b. The synchronizer has failed to synchronize the Generator set to the System bus within
the Fail To Synchronize Time" parameter. To increase the Fail To Synchronize
Time" parameter from the display, go to Setup > Paralleling Setup > Basic > Sync
Time and change the "Fail To Synchronize Time" parameter of the control
appropriately. Refer to the Parameters section of the Controller Service Manual for the
default value, and limits.
4. Engine speed is unstable
a. Verify the engine for the proper operational condition and stable idle and rated speed.
Ensure there are no air leaks in the fuel system. To verify for the absence of air in the
fuel system connect the mechanical gauge adapter to the fuel system per the engine
service manual. Start generator and monitor for air bubbles in the fuel line. Make sure
there is steady flow of fuel with no bubbles for about 5 minutes after start.
b. Check the air filter(s) restriction gauge for the restricted flow and make sure the air
filter element is in a serviceable condition. Replace if needed.
5.7.50 Code 1458 - Sync Ph Rot Mismatch

Logic:
If there is a mismatch in the phase rotation between the generator set output and the system
bus, fault code 1458 (warning) (Sync Phase Rotation Mismatch) becomes active.
Possible Causes:
1. Generator set or system bus voltage cables are incorrectly wired to the paralleling breaker
2. Generator set or system bus voltage sensing connections are incorrectly wired at the base
board
1. Generator set or system bus voltage cables are incorrectly wired to the paralleling breaker
injury or death.
a. Using a phase rotation meter or a synchronizing light, verify that the phase rotation of
the generator set output is relative to the system bus. Energize the system bus and
start the generator set in question in Manual mode, but do not close the paralleling
breaker. First check the phase rotation of the system bus with the phase rotation
meter. Then check the phase rotation of the generator set. The generator set and the
system bus should have the same phase rotation (L1-L2-L3). For proper phase
Correct the wiring if the phase rotation between the generator set and system bus is
different. If the phase rotation check shows that a phase is missing, check for blown
fuses and an open circuit at the system bus voltage cables and the generator set
voltage cables connected to the paralleling breaker.
126 A043V181 (Issue 1)

2. Generator set or system bus voltage sensing connections are incorrectly wired at the base
board
a. Measure the phase rotation at base board from the system bus at L1, TB7-1; L2,
TB7-2; and L3, TB7-3. The phase rotation should be "L1-L2-L3." For proper
phase rotation measurement procedures, refer to the phase rotation meter
instructions. If the phase rotation is not correct, re-check the wiring.
b. Measure the phase rotation at base board from the Generator set at L1, J22-1;
L2, J22-2; and L3, J22-3. The phase rotation should be "L1-L2-L3." For proper
instructions. If the phase rotation is not correct, re-check the wiring.
b. If the nominal voltage is over 600 VAC, check the voltage sensing connections to and
from the PTs.
injury or death.
a. Measure the phase rotation at the input of the PT (Potential Transformer) from
the system bus. The phase rotation at the input of the PT should match the
phase rotation at the input of the base board. The phase rotation (L1-L2-L3) at
the input of the PT should be the same as the phase rotation at the input of the
base board at L1, TB7-1; L2, TB7-2; and L3, TB7-3. If the phase rotation does
not match, correct the wiring from the System bus to the PT and/or from the PT
the base board.
b. Measure the phase rotation at the input of the PT (Potential Transformer) from
the generator set. The phase rotation at the input of the PT should match the
phase rotation at the input of the base board. The phase rotation (L1-L2-L3) at
the input of the PT should be the same as the phase rotation at the input of the
base board at J22-1; L2, J22-2; and L3, J22-3. If the phase rotation does not
match, correct the wiring from the Generator set to the PT and/or from the PT
base board.
a. Check the generator set phase rotation from the display; go to Advanced Status >
Adv Genset Status > Phase Rotation > Genset Phase Rotation and check the
phase rotation while the generator set is running. If the phase rotation sensing
connections are correct at the input of the base board, L1, J22-1; L2, J22-2; and L3,
J22-3 but the display shows incorrect generator set phase rotation, contact the
b. Check the System bus phase rotation on the display; go to Paralleling Status >
Phase Rot and check the phase rotation of the system bus. If the phase rotation
sensing connections are correct at the input of the base board, L1, TB7-1; L2, TB7-2;
and L3, TB7-3 but the display shows incorrect system bus phase rotation, contact the

5.7.51 Code 1459 - Reverse Power

Logic:
If the Reverse KW Threshold has been exceeded for the time period that is registered in the
Reverse KW time delay parameter, fault code 1459 (shutdown) becomes active.
Possible Causes:
1. CTs are incorrectly installed or wired
2. "Reverse KW Threshold" parameter is configured incorrectly
3. Loading issue
4. KW load share lines
1. CTs are incorrectly installed or wired
a. If fault code 1459 becomes active as soon as the generator set picks up load, check
the Operator Panel under the Alternator Data menu and view the L1 KW, L2 KW,
and L3 KW parameters when the generator set picks up load (right before the
generator set shuts down). If L1 KW, L2 KW, or L3 KW is a negative value, it is likely
that the CT connected to the negative KW value has an incorrect orientation or is
connected backwards. Verify the CT orientation and CT wiring at L1: J12-1 and J12-4,
L2: J12-2 and J12-5, L3: J12-3 and J12-6 to be correctly positioned (make sure the
dot is facing the source) and not miswired.
b. If L1 KW, L2 KW, or L3 KW is a negative value; it is likely that the generator set
voltage sensing connections are incorrectly wired at the base board. Measure the
phase rotation at the base board from the generator set at: L1, J22-1; L2, J22-2; L3,
J22-3. The phase rotation should be "L1-L2-L3." For proper phase rotation
measurement procedures, refer to the phase rotation meter instructions. If the phase
rotation is found to be incorrect recheck the wiring to the PTs and to the base board.
2. "Reverse KW Threshold" parameter is configured incorrectly
CAUTION: Increasing the KW threshold or time delay may have adverse effects on the
alternator. Always check the capability of the alternator before adjusting the
parameter.
a. Verify and set the "Reverse KW Threshold" Parameter appropriately for the
application. With the InPower service tool, go to Setup > Genset Setup to set the
parameter appropriately for the application.
3. Loading issue
a. Make sure that the load on the generator set does not exceed the Generator set KW
Rating. Motors, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), Variable Frequency Drive (VFD),
Medical Diagnostic Imagining Equipment, and Fire Pumps have a considerable and
different influence on a generator. Revisit the generator set sizing process to make
sure that the generator set is correctly sized for the application, especially if new loads
have been introduced into the system (reference the T-030 manual in the Power Suite
web page).
4. KW load share lines
a. Verify the kW load share lines are wired correctly at: TB9-8 (positive); TB9-7
(negative); TB9-9 (shield).
128 A043V181 (Issue 1)

b. Disconnect the kW load share lines and the shield and test for continuity; the value
5.7.52 Code 1461 - Loss of Field

Logic:
If the Reverse kVAR Threshold has been exceeded for the time period that is registered in the
Reverse kVAR time delay parameter, fault code 1461 (shutdown) becomes active.
Possible Causes:
1. CTs are incorrectly connected or installed
2. "Reverse KVAR Threshold" parameter is configured incorrectly (low)
3. Improper voltage calibration of the generator set
4. Improperly set Leading Power Factor
5. KVAR load share lines
1. CTs are incorrectly connected or installed
a. If fault code 1461 becomes active as soon as the generator set picks up load, check
the Operator Panel under the Alternator Data menu and view the L1 KW, L2 KW,
and L3 KW parameters when the generator set picks up load (right before the
generator set shuts down). If L1 KW, L2 KW, or L3 KW is a negative value, it is likely
that the CT connected to the negative KW value has an incorrect orientation or is
connected backwards. Verify the CT orientation and CT wiring at L1: J12-1 and J12-4,
L2: J12-2 and J12-5, L3: J12-3 and J12-6 to be correctly positioned (make sure the
dot is facing the source) and not miswired.
b. If L1 KW, L2 KW, or L3 KW is a negative value; it is likely that the generator set
voltage sensing connections are incorrectly wired at the base board. Measure the
phase rotation at the base board from the generator set at: L1, J22-1; L2, J22-2; L3,
J22-3. The phase rotation should be "L1-L2-L3," for proper phase rotation
measurement procedures; refer to the phase rotation meter instructions. If the phase
rotation is not correct, recheck the wiring to the PTs and to the base board.
2. "Reverse KVAR Threshold" parameter is configured incorrectly (low)
CAUTION: Increasing the kVAR threshold or time delay may have adverse effects on the
alternator. Always check the capability of the alternator before adjusting the
parameter.
a. Verify and set the Reverse KVAR Threshold parameter appropriately for the
application. With the InPower service tool, go to Setup > Genset Setup to set the
parameter appropriately for the application.
A043V181 (Issue 1) 129

3. Improper voltage calibration of the generator set

a. Using a voltmeter, measure the AC voltage of the Electric Bus that the generator set
is paralleled to (voltage of the Genset Bus or the Utility). Then measure the output
voltage of the generator set and make sure that the generator set output voltage is +3
VAC/0 VAC that of the source which the generator set is paralleled to. Event/fault
code 1461 is a result of the generator set not matching or exceeding the voltage of
the electric bus, which causes the generator set to import current from the electric bus
(Reverse kVAR). To access the voltage adjustment configuration menu through the
operator Panel, go to Setup > Adjust > Voltage Adjust and increase the generator
set output voltage.
4. Improperly set Leading Power Factor
a. If a Loss of Excitation occurs when the generator set is lightly loaded, a leading power
factor may be the cause. Leading Power factor can be caused by operation of filters
and power factor correction capacitors when the KW load level on the generator set is
low. Motors, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), Variable Frequency Drive (VFD),
Medical Diagnostic Imagining Equipment, Fire Pumps, and certain types of lighting
have a considerable and different influence on a generator and can also cause a
leading power factor. Leading power factor loads can cause the generator set to lose
control of the output voltage of the generator set. To access the Power Factor menu
through the operator panel, go to Alternator Data and view the value of L1 PF, L2
PF, L3 PF, and Total PF, right before the generator set shuts down on fault code
1461. Revisit the generator set sizing process if the power factor is leading to make
sure that the generator set is correctly sized for the application, especially if new loads
have been introduced into the system (reference the T-030 manual in the Power Suite
web page).
5. KVAR load share lines
a. Verify the kVAR load share lines are wired correctly at: TB9-10 (positive); TB9-11
(negative); TB9-9 (shield).
b. Disconnect the kVAR load share lines and the shield and test for continuity; the value
5.7.53 Code 1464 - Load Dump

Logic:
If the "Load Dump Activation Method" parameter is enabled and the generator set kW output
exceeds the "Load Dump Overload Threshold" for the "Load Dump Overload Set Time" or the
output frequency of the genset drops below the "Load Dump Underfrequency Offset" for the
"Load Dump Underfrequency Set Time" the generator set will dump its electrical load, fault code
1464 (warning) becomes active.
Possible Causes:
1. Active fault code is set to "Derate"
2. The Load Dump Overload Threshold is configured incorrectly (low)
3. The Load Dump Underfrequency Offset is configured incorrectly (low)
4. The Load Dump Overload Set Time or Load Dump Underfrequency Set Time is
configured incorrectly (low)
5. Fuel or air delivery problems
130 A043V181 (Issue 1)

6. Incorrect CTs, or CT connections, or CT ratio

1. Active fault code is set to "Derate"
a. Fault code 1464 can be activated as a result of another active fault that is set to
Derate. Troubleshoot the other active fault(s) that are set to Derate first and then
clear the fault.
2. The Load Dump Overload Threshold is configured incorrectly (low).
a. To access the Overload Threshold configuration menu through the Operator Panel, go
to Setup > Genset Setup and set the Overload Threshold Parameter appropriately
for the application. Refer to the Parameters section of the Controller Service Manual
to see the default value for Overload Threshold.
3. The Load Dump Underfrequency Offset is configured incorrectly (low).
a. To access the Under-frequency Offset configuration menu through the Operator
Panel, go to Setup > Genset Setup and set the Under-frequency Offset Parameter
appropriately for the application. Refer to the Parameters section of the Controller
Service Manual to see the default value for Under-frequency Offset.
4. The Load Dump Overload Set Time or Load Dump Underfrequency Set Time is
configured incorrectly (low).
a. To access the Overload Set Time and Under-frequency Set Time configuration
menu through the Operator Panel, go to Setup > Genset Setup and set the
Overload Set Time and Under-frequency Set Time parameters appropriately for the
application. Refer to the Parameters section of the Controller Service Manual to see
the default values for Overload Set Time and Under-frequency Set Time.
5. Fuel or air delivery problems
a. Verify the engine for the proper operational condition and stable idle and rated speed.
Ensure there are no air leaks in the fuel system. To verify for the absence of air in the
fuel system connect the mechanical gauge adapter to the fuel system per the engine
service manual. Start generator and monitor for air bubbles in the fuel line. Make sure
there is a steady flow of fuel with no bubbles for about 5 minutes after start.
b. Check the air filter(s) restriction gauge for the restricted flow and ensure the air filter
element is in a serviceable condition. Replace if needed.
6. Incorrect CTs, or CT connections, or CT ratio
a. Verify the functionality of CTs by checking the CT Ratio, CTs and CT wire
connections. For installation instructions refer to the section on Current Transformer
Installation or reference fault code 2814 on page 172 and/or fault code 2815 on page
173.
5.7.54 Code 1469 - Speed/Hz Mismatch

Logic:
If the engine speed and generator set output frequency do not match those of the alternator, it
will shutdown with fault code 1469 (shutdown) active.
Possible Causes:
1. Engine crankshaft and/or camshaft speed/position sensors are faulty
A043V181 (Issue 1) 131

2. Damaged crankshaft and/or camshaft speed/position tone rings

3. "Speed/Frequency Threshold" and/or "Speed/Frequency Delay" parameters configured
incorrectly (low)
4. Incorrect engine speed data from the ECM
5. Customer loads
1. Engine crankshaft and/or camshaft speed/position sensors are faulty
a. Verify the clearance between the sensors and the tone rings is appropriate.
b. Visually inspect the sensors and wiring harness for damage. Inspect sensors and
harness for:
NOTE: Set the speed/frequency mismatch time delay to maximum of 10 seconds in

order to be able to read the voltage value before the generator set shutdown.
c. Verify the speed/position sensor supplies. Disconnect the engine harness connector
(Refer to the engine service manual for the additional information on the speed
position sensor troubleshooting).
d. Verify the speed/position sensor signal (sense) voltage. Measure the signal voltage at
connection, or an ECM issue. (Refer to the engine service manual for the additional
information on the speed position sensor troubleshooting). Also, verify the values of
the sense voltages with those on the InSite service tools.
2. Damaged crankshaft and/or camshaft speed/position tone rings
a. Inspect the crankshaft and camshaft tone rings for any physical damage such as
cracked or broken teeth, rough surfaces, debris, rust, etc.
3. "Speed/Frequency Threshold" and/or "Speed/Frequency Delay" parameters configured
incorrectly (low)
a. With the InPower service tool, verify the speed/frequency mismatch threshold and
delay parameters are set correctly. Go to: Setup > OEM Setup > OEM Alternator
Setup for necessary parameter adjustments.
132 A043V181 (Issue 1)

4. Incorrect engine speed data from the ECM

a. Verify that the correct engine speed information is being communicated to the PCC
via the CAN-LINK. Through the Operator Panel or the InPower service tool, verify the
engine speed (RPM) by going to Engine Data > Average Engine Speed. (Note: set
the speed/frequency mismatch time delay to maximum of 10 seconds in order to be
able to read the RPM value before the generator set shut down.) Also, connect the
InSite service tool to the ECM and update the calibration; after which, retest again.
Correct speeds are:
1800 RPM at 60 Hz
1500 RPM at 50 Hz
5. Customer loads
a. Non-linear loads such as Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and certain types of
lighting have a considerable and different influence on a generator set which can
cause significant frequency fluctuations that do not match measured engine speed
(For example, UPS causes 62 Hz at 1800 RPM). This could be an application issue
(refer to the T-030 manual in the Power Suite web page).
b. Test for the load influence on the generator set frequency mismatch:
Shutdown or disconnect customer loads individually. Open the main generator
breaker. Start the generator and verify if the fault reappears.
Close main generator breaker. If the generator is stable, add each load
individually until either unit shuts down or all loads are connected. If the unit
shuts down on the same fault, have the suspect customer load investigated.
Go to Setup > OEM Setup >OEM Engine Setup > Adjustable Freq/Speed Gain
and adjust the Frequency to Speed Gain Select parameter accordingly to the
alternator. To calculate the frequency to speed gain ratio use the following equation:
120 / Number of poles of the alternator.
5.7.55 Code 1471 - Over Current

Logic:
If the generator set output current has exceeded at least 110% of rated current for 60 seconds,
Possible Causes:
1. Short or overload
2. Incorrect CT ratio, CTs, or CT connections
3. Incorrect generator set rating setup
1. Short or overload
a. Inspect the load cables and AC harness connector pins. Check for a short circuit to
engine block ground. Refer to the fault code 1444 on page 109 for overload condition
troubleshooting.
A043V181 (Issue 1) 133


a. Check that the correct CTs have been installed. Verify that the CTs are installed in
the correct order and location. With the use of InPower, adjust the CT ratio
appropriately in the generator setup menu.
b. Verify the CT harness and connections. Disconnect connector P12 from the

b. Check the voltage input into the control board between L1 and L2 (TB7-1 and TB7-2)
or L2 and L3 (TB7-2 and TB7-3) or L3 and L1 (TB7-3 and TB7-1); the voltage reading
should not be more than 600 VAC.
5.7.102 Code 2819 - Bus PT Ratio High

Logic:
The Genset Bus PT ratio is too large, which causes an inaccurate reading of Genset Bus
Nominal voltage during normal operation; in the case when the Genset PT is used (above 600
VAC).
Possible Causes:
1. The control is set up with the incorrect Genset Bus PT Ratio.
A043V181 (Issue 1) 175


1. The control is set up with the incorrect Genset Bus PT Ratio.
a. The control uses the generator set bus nominal voltage and the PT ratio in order to
determine if the PT ratio is correct for the operation of the generator set. Voltage input
into the control board should be greater than 50% of the Genset Bus Nominal voltage
(up to 600 VAC), to allow the control to obtain an accurate voltage reading, whether
an external PT is used or not. Then configure the control with the correct PT Ratio. To
access the Genset Bus PT ratio configuration menu on the display, go to Setup >
Paralleling Setup > Basic > Genset Bus PT Primary and PT Secondary and set
the "Genset Bus PT Primary Voltage" and "Genset Bus PT Secondary Voltage"
parameters appropriately for the application.
installed: If (Genset Bus Nominal Voltage / Genset Bus PT Primary voltage) * Genset
Bus PT Secondary voltage > 600 VAC, your PT Ratio is too small.
b. Check the voltage input into the baseboard. When the generator set is running the
voltage input between L1 and L2 (TB7-1 and TB7-2) or L2 and L3 (TB7-2 and TB7-3)
or L3 and L1 (TB7-3 and TB7-1) should be greater than the (Genset Bus Nominal
Voltage *.5) VAC.
5.7.103 Code 2821 - Utility PT Ratio Low

Logic:
The Utility PT ratio is too small for the Utility rating. The Utility PT ratio (primary vs. secondary)
is too small and will cause high voltage readings.
Possible Causes:
a. The control uses nominal utility voltage and the PT ratio in order to determine if the
PT ratio is correct for the proper operation of the utility. Voltage input into the control
board should not exceed 600 VAC, whether an external PT is used or not. Then
configure the control with the correct PT Ratio. To access the utility PT ratio
configuration menu on the display, go to: Setup > Paralleling Setup > Basic > Utility
PT Primary and PT Secondary and set the Utility PT Primary Voltage" and Utility
PT Secondary Voltage" parameters appropriately for the application.
installed: If (Utility Nominal Voltage / Utility PT Primary voltage) * Utility PT Secondary
voltage > 600 VAC, your PT Ratio is too small.
b. Check the voltage input into the control board between L1 and L2 (TB7-1 and TB7-2)
or L2 and L3 (TB7-2 and TB7-3) or L3 and L1 (TB7-3 and TB7-1); the voltage reading
should not be more that 600 VAC.

5.7.104 Code 2822 - Utility PT Ratio High

Logic:
The Utility PT ratio is too large, which causes an inaccurate reading of Utility Nominal voltage
during normal operation; when the Genset PT is used (above 600 VAC).
Possible Causes:
a. The control uses utility nominal voltage and the PT ratio in order to determine if the
PT ratio is correct for the operation of the genset. Voltage input into the control board
should be greater than 50% of the Utility Nominal voltage (up to 600 VAC), to allow
the control to obtain an accurate voltage reading, whether an external PT is used or
not. Configure the control with the correct PT Ratio. To access the Utility PT ratio
configuration menu on the display, go to Setup > Paralleling Setup > Basic > Utility
PT Primary and PT Secondary and set the Utility PT Primary Voltage" and Utility
PT Secondary Voltage" parameters appropriately for the application.
installed: If (Utility Nominal Voltage / Utility PT Primary voltage) * Utility PT Secondary
voltage > 600 VAC, your PT Ratio is too small.
b. Check the voltage input into the baseboard. When the genset is running the voltage
input between L1 and L2 (TB7-1 and TB7-2) or L2 and L3 (TB7-2 and TB7-3) or L3
