High Engine Temperature (Shutdown Alarm – Auto Reset)

A 10 second delay on start-up and one (1) second delay before 

shutdown. Auto reset when the condition clears and restart the 

engine if a valid start signal is still present.
This switch’s contacts (Figure 3.4) close if the temperature should 

exceed approximately 140° C (284° F), initiating an engine shut-

down. Once the oil temperature drops to a safe level the switch’s 

contacts open again.

Over Crank (Shutdown Alarm)

This occurs if the engine has not started within the specified crank 

cycle. (See "Cranking" section.)

Over Speed (Shutdown Alarm)

3000 RPM for three (3) seconds or 3300 RPM immediately. This 

feature protects the generator from damage by shutting it down 

if it happens to run faster than the preset limit. This protection 

also prevents the generator from supplying an output that could 

potentially damage appliances connected to the generator circuit. 

Contact the nearest Dealer if this failure occurs.

RPM Sense Loss (Shutdown Alarm)

During cranking, if the Control Board does not see a valid RPM 

signal within three (3) seconds, it will shut down and lock out on 

RPM sense loss. While engine is running, if RPM signal is lost for 

one (1) second the Control Board will shut the engine down, wait 

15 seconds, then re-crank the engine. If no RPM signal is detected 

within the first three (3) seconds of cranking, the Control Board 

will shut the engine down and latch out on RPM sensor loss. If the 

RPM signal is detected, the engine will start and run normally. If 

the RPM signal is subsequently lost again, the Control Board will 

try one more re-crank attempt before latching out and displaying 

the RPM sensor failure message.

Under-frequency (Shutdown Alarm)

After starting, if the generator stays under frequency for more than 

30 seconds it will shut down. The under-frequency setting is 55 

Hz.

Internal Fault (Shutdown Alarm)

This alarm cannot be cleared, call service dealer.

Undervoltage (Shutdown Alarm)

If the generator voltage falls below 85% of nominal for more than 

15 seconds, it shuts down.

Overvoltage (Shutdown Alarm)

If the generator voltage rises above 110% of rating for greater than 

three (3) seconds, an alarm will be issued and the unit will shut 

down.
If the generator voltage rises above 130% of rating for greater than 

0.5 seconds, an alarm will be issued and the unit will shut down.

Clear Alarm

Clear the alarm by setting the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to the 

OFF position. Press the ENTER key to unlatch any active fault and 

clear the corresponding alarm message.

3.5.2 WARNINGS

Second Priority (Non-latching) Displayed

 on the control panel 

and the external yellow LED (V-twins only). Warnings automati-

cally clear when the monitored condition goes away. Warnings are 

recorded in the alarm log. Warnings cannot cause shutdowns.

Low Battery

The Control Board monitors battery voltage and displays a warn-

ing if the battery voltage falls below 11.9 volts for one (1) minute. 

Warning is automatically cleared if the battery voltage rises above 

12.4 volts. Battery voltage is not monitored during the crank 

cycle.

3.5.3 MAINTENANCE 

ALERTS

Third priority

Maintenance Message

When a maintenance period expires, a warning message will 

be displayed. The alert can be reset by pressing the Enter key, 

which will cause the user to be prompted to confirm the action. 

Resetting will clear the alert and reset the maintenance counters 

for all conditions annunciated. The history log will record the alert. 

The maintenance counter will not accumulate without battery 

power. Once battery power is restored, the set time prompt will be 

displayed. The maintenance counters will be adjusted to the new 

time and date.

NOTE:

Since most maintenance alerts will occur at the same time 

(most have 500 hour or two (2) year intervals), only one will 

appear on the display at any one time. Once the first alert is 

cleared, the next active alert will be displayed.
