Over Voltage

This service code is indicated by 

Over Voltage

 

scrolling across the digital display. This feature 

protects devices connected to the transfer switch by 

shutting the generating set down if the generating set 

output voltage happens to increase above the preset 

limit. 
This condition is most likely caused by a failed 

voltage regulator, alternator excitation circuit or a 

load imbalance. To remedy the problem, contact your 

installer or an  

authorized dealer.

Engine Does Not Start

This service code is indicated by 

Engine Does Not 

Start

 scrolling across the digital display. This feature 

prevents the generating set from damaging itself 

if it continually attempts to start in spite of another 

problem, such as no fuel supply. Each time the system 

is directed to start, the unit will crank for 10 seconds, 

pause for 10 seconds, and repeat. If the system does 

not begin producing electricity after approximately 2 

minutes, the unit will stop cranking.
The most likely cause of this problem is no fuel supply 

or incorrect fuel setting. See 

Fuel Conversion

 in the 

installation manual. Check the internal and external 

fuel shut off valves to ensure they are fully open. Other 

causes could be failed spark plug(s), a failed engine 

ignition, or the engine air filter is clogged. You may 

need to contact your installer for assistance if you can’t 

remedy these problems.

Low Frequency

This service code is indicated by 

Low Frequency

 

scrolling across the digital display. This feature 

protects devices connected to the transfer switch by 

shutting the generating set down if the engine runs 

slower than 55 Hz for three seconds. This condition is 

caused by a failed engine component, or by excessive 

loads on the generating set. To resolve the problem, 

contact your installer or an authorized dealer.

Engine Overspeed

This service code is indicated by 

Engine Overspeed

 

scrolling across the digital display. To resolve the 

problem, contact your installer or an authorized dealer.

High Oil Temperature

This service code is indicated by 

High Oil Temperature

 

scrolling across the digital display. The contacts 

of the temperature switch are normally open. If the 

engine temperature increases past a determinded 

temperature, the service code is detected and the engine 

shuts down.
Common causes for this condition include running the 

unit with access panels removed, obstructed air inlet or 

exhaust port, or debris in the engine compartment or 

running unit with roof open.
To resolve the problem, let the engine cool down and 

remove any accumulated debris and obstructions. 

Ensure that the access panels are installed and the 

roof is closed whenever the unit is running. If problem 

persists, contact your installer or authorized dealer.

Transfer Switch Service code

This service code is indicated by 

Transfer Switch 

Service code

 scrolling across the digital display 

(if transfer switch is equipped with service 

code detection).
The most likely cause of this service code is a blown 

fuse in the transfer switch. To remedy the problem, 

contact your installer or an authorized dealer.

Battery Charge Circuit

This service code is indicated by 

Battery Charge 

Circuit

 scrolling across the digital display. The most 

likely cause is an electrical problem with the control 

panel. To remedy the problem, contact your installer or 

an authorized dealer.
