Check

Frequency High

SD *

Governed frequency exceeds 110% of the

system’s frequency setpoint for more than 10

seconds. Function becomes active 10 seconds

after engine start (10 second inhibit).

Contact an authorized

distributor/dealer for service.

Frequency Low

SD *

Governed frequency falls below 90% of the

system frequency setting for more than

10 seconds, or 1 Hz below the system frequency

setting for more than 60 seconds.
Function becomes active 10 seconds after

engine start (10 second inhibit).

Reduce the load and restart the

generator set.
Contact an authorized

distributor/dealer for service.

Lo Crank Vlt

W

Low cranking voltage. Battery voltage falls below

8 VDC for more than 6 seconds while the starter

is engaged.

Charge or replace the battery.

SD

Main power overload. An over current fault on

Oil Pres Low

SD *

The LOP switch indicates low oil pressure for

more than 5 seconds. Function becomes active

30 seconds after crank disconnect (30 second

inhibit).

Note:

The low oil pressure shutdown does not

protect against low oil level. Check the engine oil

level regularly as recommended in Section 5.

Check for leaks in the lubrication

system.
Check the oil level and add oil if the

level is low.
Check the oil pressure switch and

wiring

SD

Measured load is greater than 102% of the
