Stephill Generators SSDP30-70 - DSE 6110 Fault Finding Guide
Issue 3
1) Unplug all load connected to the generator outputs.
2) Check the engine oil level.
3) Check the water/coolant level -
4) Check the fuel level.
5) Check the battery voltage.
At standstill the battery voltage should be around 12.4 to 12.6V DC.
6) Check fuel pump operation
- if applicable.
Generator Not Starting
Use the "Generator Not Starting" flow chart found in this guide.
Generator Running
Fig.1
Generator Stops/Shuts down
Caution hot steam can burn!
This value should
be between
230 -
235V AC
This value should
be between
398 -
404V AC
If the generator stops/shuts down then this would usually because the DSE 6110 MK3 control module has
detected a fault condition and has issued a
Shutdown Alarm
to stop the generator. The DSE 6110 MK3 control
module will display an
Alarm
page to indicate an active alarm(s).
This basic fault finding guide has been complied to assist with the operation on Stephill Generators that use a DSE 6110
Mk3 control module.

Recommended Checks Before Attempting Any Fault Finding
Before starting the generator or attempting any fault finding, ensure the following aspects of the generator are checked.
Trying to start a generator with load applied, can result with a "Fail to Start" warning as well as draining the
battery and possible damage to the main alternator.
The frequency should be between
52.0 - 53.0Hz
The typical values shown in Fig.1 above would indicate that the engine and alternator are operating correctly
while no load is applied to the generator.
Fig.1 below is a typical
Status
screen while the generator is running with no-load.
Note
that no Amps or kW will be displayed with no-load.
Press and hold the "Fuel Pump Prime" button on the control panel (refer to user handbook) listen for the fuel pump
operating inside the generator canopy.
Once you have carried out the checks above and the engine has started, generator is running, you can then check
the AC output values from the generator using the DSE 6110 MK3 module.
