Warning
Name Enabled Condition(s) Description
High Fuel
Level High Fuel Level not disabled (in Sensors > Fuel
Level menu). High Fuel Level warning. This is often used to indicate an over
fueling condition where fuel could be overflowing from the fuel
tank.
Low
Engine
Temp Low Engine Temp not disabled (in Sensors >
Engine Temp. menu). Low Engine Temperature warning. This is often used to
indicate a malfunction of the engine block heater in stationary
generator applications.
Low Oil
Pressure Switched input set to "Oil Pres. Warn" function.
See
Switched Inputs . Triggered if switched input
is active during the RUN mode.
Low oil pressure warning.
3.4 Failures
Failures are conditions that cause the controller to shutdown to prevent damage to the engine or generator. These get
enabled/disabled when you enable/disable various settings in the controller.
Notable failures are given in the below table.
Failure
Name Enabled Condition(s) Description
ECM
Communicat
ion Failure Enabled if loss of ECM communication is
enabled. See
CAN Bus (J1939) . J1939 feature.
If the controller has not received messages from the ECM for
6s.
Exception* Always enabled. Occurs when there is an issue that the controller cannot
recover from. For example EMI can cause the
microcontroller to become in a bad state or a software bug
could cause the code to hang triggering the watchdog. In
these cases the controller will reset and enter the failure
state.
*The name is configurable so may not match what is here.
Failure To
Stop Disabled when ETS On Duration is set to 0
seconds. Otherwise it is enabled. If used ETS
On Duration should be set to at least 2 to 3s
otherwise this failure may occur on a normal
shutdown.
After ETS countdown is finished if the speed was greater than
50RPM (600RPM for TG350/TG410 firmware 1.88 and
greater) for the previous 2s then the controller triggers this
failure.
Load
Imbalance See Load Imbalance. AC Current feature. Generator load imbalance. Excessive AC current on one or
more of the three phases.
Low Air
Pressure Switched input set to "Air Pres. Fail" function.
See
Switched Inputs . Triggered if switched
input is active during starting.
Application specific.
Low Coolant
Lvl Switched input set to "Cool. Lvl Fail" function.
See
Switched Inputs . Triggered if switched
input is active.
Low Coolant Level.
Low
Hydraulic Switched input set to "Hyd Pres. Fail" function.
See
Switched Inputs . Triggered if switched
input is active during starting.
Refers to Low Hydraulic pressure usually. Application
specific.
FILL DEF
NOW For electronics engines with a SCR (Seletive
Catalytic Reaction) emissions aftertreatment
only. See J1939 section and J1939 Reference
manual. The SCR tank needs to be refilled (aka urea tank). Engine
may not start if this is not performed or may remain in "limp-
home" mode. DEF stands for diesel exhaust fluid.
If Battle Mode (see Battle Mode in switched inputs ) is active ('Battle Running' is displayed on the screen) the controller will not
shutdown on a failure and no failure information will be displayed on the screen. If battle mode is switched off the controller will
shutdown on any failure that occurred when battle mode was active.
3.5 Event Log
The below table lists all events, warnings, and failures than can appear in the controller's event history. The event history is
accessed in the menu under "Events History".
