Bar Graph flashing when power is applied to IGC700 

 

This indicates the IGC700 configuration is corrupt.  It is 
recommended to reconfigure the unit before attempting to 
start the engine. 
 

Discrete Output Not Working 

 
This terminal sinks current.  The typical amount of sink 
current is 20mA.  This means the device being controlled with 
this terminal must be tied to a positive voltage and must not 
require more than 20mA to operate. This terminal turns on 
when the IGC700 is running under normal conditions.  If the 
IGC700 overspeeds then this terminal switches to an open 
circuit.   

 

Engine Not Running at correct Fixed Speed

 

1.

 

Are Terminals R and S properly configured?  If nothing 
is connected to these terminals the IGC700 is configured 
for Variable Speed.  Please refer to TABLE 1 on page 3. 

 
2.

 

Make sure the correct number of flywheel teeth has been 
configured.  This function is accessed in the SETUP 
mode under MENU 0, button 5.  The IGC700 will flash 
out the current number of teeth as a 4-digit code.  If this 
number is not correct then enter the correct number of 
teeth as a 4-digit number followed by the ENTER button. 

 
3.

 

Make sure the Fixed Speed is correctly set.  Access 
SETUP mode and select MENU 0, Button 4.  The 
IGC700 will flash out the present RPM speed.  If this is 
not correct, enter the 4-digit speed in RPM and press 
ENTER.  The IGC700 will then flash the updated RPM 
Speed. 

 

Engine Not Running at Correct Variable Speed

 

 

Make sure potentiometer is connected properly to 
terminals I, J and K.  Refer to the configuration section in 
this manual to setup the potentiometer.  When 
configuring the potentiometer verify the RPM value 
entered for MAXIMUM RPM SPEED (MENU 0, Button 
7) is greater than the RPM entered for MINIMUM RPM 
SPEED (MENU 1, Button 7).  When doing this you 
should also verify the Bar Graph displays a higher 
reading for MAX. RPM SPD than for MIN. RPM SPD.  

 

 

Make sure the FLYWHEEL TEETH parameter is correct. 
This function is accessed in the SETUP mode (MENU 0, 
Button 5).  The IGC700 will flash out the current number 
of teeth as a 4-digit code.  If this number is not correct 

then enter the correct number of teeth as a 4-digit number 
followed by the ENTER button. 

 
 

Overspeed During Starting (Tripping Fault LED) 

 

 
This condition is caused by the OVERSPEED parameter 
being too low, the IGC700 not properly

 

tuned for the 

application or the CRANK TERMINATION parameter being 
set too high.  Recheck these parameters. 
 

Overspeeding During Load Transient  (Tripping Fault 
LED) 

 

OVERSPEED parameter is set too low or IGC700 not 
properly tuned for the application.  Recheck the

 

OVERSPEED setting and try retuning the engine. 
 

Overspeeding During Speed Changes (Tripping Fault 
LED) 
 

OVERSPEED parameter is set too low or the SPEED RAMP 
ACCELERATION parameter is set too low.  You can 
increase the Speed Ramp Value in SETUP mode (MENU 0, 
Button 9).  The Bar Graph will display the current Speed 
Ramp setting.  Press the + button to increase this value.  This 
causes the engine to accelerate more slowly reducing the 
overshoot. 
 

SETUP mode is not accessible 

 

Press and hold the SETUP button until the RUN/LED lamp 
starts to flash.  Now you 

must

 enter the 

valid

 4-digit Security 

Code [1] [2] [3] [4] followed by the ENTER button.  Each 
unit has a specific Security Code.  If you forgot the code you 
must contact your GAC distributor from where the IGC700 
was purchased.   

 

Note:

 The maximum RPM speed is based on the number of 

teeth selected.  Typically, the maximum RPM speed is 5000 
to 6000 RPM.

 

Note:

  Each time one of these parameters is selected, you 

must enter a 4-digit value.

 

Note:

 Once you’ve entered the proper code the IGC700 will 

flash of the Software Version Number.
