5.2 ENGINE 

FAULTS 

 

Before working on the generator, remove the 
30Amp fuse from the local control panel (see 
figure 3) to prevent the engine from starting  

 

5.2.1 General 

 

Most electrical problems relating to Voltage or Frequency 
are due to wrong engine speed. Note that RPM and Hz 
are basically the same.  
Use the problem solving tables to find the cause. When 
there is no obvious cause one can adjust the RPM (refer 
to special procedures).  
 
When the engine is not cranking well starting problems 
almost always originate from battery problems or poor 
battery cable connections. When the engine is cranking, 

well starting problems almost always originate from lack of 
fuel or air bubbles in the fuel pipes.  
 

When the engine does not start instantly, 
prolonged cranking can fill up the exhaust 
system with cooling water because of the 
water injected exhaust. When the water 
enters the cylinder through the valves this will 
bring severe damage to the engine. When the 
engine does not start and repeated cranking 
is necessary shut off the seawater inlet. Open 
the valve immediately after the engine has 
started. 

 
When the generator was stopped due to a engine failure, 
the origin of the failure that stopped the generator will be 
displayed on the MasterView Easy remote control panel. 
See table section 5.2.2.  
See section 5.2.3 for other engine related faults  

 

5.2.2 

Failure or warning messages displayed on the remote control panel 

 

Engine warnings and 

failures  

Meaning 

What to do? 

No failure  

None (no failure detected) 

-- 

Service needed 

Time to service interval has elapsed. 

Generator needs maintenance, see chapter 4 
of this manual 

Oil pressure low 

Oil pressure too low (oil pressure switch tripped) 

See section 5.2.3 

Engine temp high 

Engine temperature too high (engine 
temperature switch tripped) 

See section 5.2.3 

Exhaust temp hi 

Exhaust temperature is too high (exhaust 
temperature switch tripped) 

See section 5.2.3 

Water pressure 

Water pressure too low, water pressure switch 
tripped 

See section 5.2.3 

Communication 

Communication error between the generator set 
and the apparatus that gave a command which 
resulted in starting of the generator set. For 
instance connection between the generator set 
and the MasterView Easy was lost. 

Check MasterBus wiring between generating 
set and remote panel. See user’s manual of 
the remote control panel  

Start failure  

Engine fails to start. 

See section 5.2.3 

Not configured 

No serial number was assigned to the generator 
set. This may mean that calibration of the 
generator fails.  

Contact your supplier.
