both ends, this enables the screen to act as an aerial and will pick up random
voltages.
Low oil Pressure fault
operates after engine has
fired
Check engine oil pressure. Check oil pressure switch/sender and wiring. Check
configured polarity (if applicable) is correct (i.e. Normally Open or Normally
Closed) or that sender is compatible with the 5210 Module and is correctly
configured.
High engine temperature
fault operates after engine
has fired.
Check engine temperature. Check switch/sender and wiring. Check configured
polarity (if applicable) is correct (i.e. Normally Open or Normally Closed) or that

is present on the Pre-heat output of module. Check pre-heat has been selected in
your configuration.
Starter motor inoperative
Check wiring to starter solenoid. Check battery supply. Check battery supply is
present on the Starter output of module. Ensure that the Emergency Stop input is
at positive.
Engine runs but generator
will not take load
Check Warm up timer has timed out. Ensure generator load inhibit signal is not
present on the module inputs.
Incorrect reading on Engine
gauges
