INSTABILITY

INSTABILITY

SYMPTOM

PROBABLE CAUSE OF ABNORMAL READING

Fast Periodic

The engine seems to jitter with 

a 3Hz or faster irregularity of 

speed.

1.
2.

Readjust the GAIN and STABILITY for optimum control.
In extreme cases, change the DEADTIME parameter.

Slow Periodic

Speed irregularity below 3Hz. 

(Sometimes severe)

1.

2.

Check fuel system linkage during engine operation for:

    a. binding

    b. high friction

    c. poor linkage
DEADTIME Parameter set too high.

Non-Periodic

Erratic Engine Behavior

1. Increasing the GAIN should reduce the instability but not totally correct it. If this is the case, there is most 

likely a problem with the engine itself.  

Check for:

    a. engine mis-firings

    b. an erratic fuel system

    c. load changes on the generator set voltage regulator.

If unsuccessful in solving instability, contact GAC for assistance.

SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING

If the engine governing system does not function, the fault may be determined by performing the voltage tests described in Steps 1 through 3. Positive (+) and negative (-) refer to meter 

polarity. Should normal values be indicated during troubleshooting steps, then the fault may be with the actuator or the wiring to the actuator. Tests are performed with battery power on and 

the engine off, except where noted. See actuator publication for testing procedure on the actuator.

CAUSE

EFFECT

CUSTOMER ACTION

1

Actuator over current (continuous)

Actuator turned off for 30 sec.

Check actuator wiring.

2

Loss of speed signal (inc/dec in speed by more than 

64Hz in 4ms, 16KHz/s)

WARNING indicator blinks then system shutdown

Check speed pickup.

3

Over speed (speed exceeds OVER SPEED setting 

for 12 ms)

WARNING and OVER SPEED indicators blink 

then system shutdown.

Check fuel system as well as

OVER SPEED, SPEED, and V.SPEED

203

Variable Speed settings are reversed. V.SPEED is 

lower than SPEED.

WARNING indicator blinks, speed set to V.SPEED 

setting, variable speed input unresponsive.

Flip V.SPEED and SPEED settings.

206

No potentiometer/signal detected on variable speed 

input when VSPD enabled.

WARNING indicator blinks, speed set to SPEED 

setting.

Check potentiometer wiring.

241

New software loaded. Configuration not compatible.

Default configuration used.

Reset configuration.

251

Software loaded on incompatible hardware.

WARNING indicator blinks then System shutdown.

Return unit to GAC

FLCU / NLCU Setting invalid

Load calculation done with 0.5 & 4.0 amp values

Adjust NLCU / FLCU per section 9

3.
4.

Gap between speed sensor and gear teeth too great 
Improper or defective wiring to the speed sensor
Resistance between D and C should be 130 to 1200 ohms. 
Defective speed sensor.

3

F(+) & A(-)

1.0 - 2.0V DC

 While Cranking

1.

5.

SPEED or IDLE parameter set incorrectly
CRANK or START FUEL set incorrectly
Short/open in actuator wiring
Defective speed control
Defective actuator, see Actuator Troubleshooting
