SSDK12M - SSDK16M - SSDK20M
21
The
SSDK16
&
SSDK20
also have a separate
Engine Control Unit (ECU)
. Both of the above systems can shut
down the generator independently. The
SSDK12
only uses a
DSE 3110
control module.
Most common faults/issues can be Identified by the fault icon displayed on the
DSE 3110
LCD screen. The
table below shows a fault icon and/or the relevant possible causes and checks.
Fault Finding
Monitoring Systems
STEPHILL GENERATORS LTD STRESS THAT THE ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILTY FOR THE
SAFE USE OF THE GENERATOR RESTS WITH THE USER.
All standard Stephill K-Range generators use a
DSE 3110
control module to operate/monitor the engine and
generator.
If the
ECU
has detected an issue with the engine (SSDK16 & SSDK20 only) this could also shut the engine
down. Any shut down that the
ECU
has issued will be immediately identified by a blinking pattern shown on
the ECU fault lamp found on the engine loom - See below.
We strongly advise before attempting any fault finding is to check the health of the generator battery. It
should measure around 12.4 to 12.6 Volts DC while the generator is at standstill.
Be aware of the service/maintenance schedule of the engine, ensuring the fuel filters are replaced regularly
along with the oil topped up and oil filter etc. - See -
Service and Maintenance
Before carrying out any checks ensure all
Load
is unplugged from the generator and be aware of any
potential exposed
Live
terminals while the generator is running! All checks and tests should only be carried
out by a competent engineer - Ref.

Check
Engine Not Starting/Running - Starter motor not engaging
●
Check the battery voltage, should be around 12.5V DC -
Charge or Replace.
●
Check the condition of the battery leads.
● Check No.1 wires on the control panel and engine DC
loom(s) have a sound connection to battery negative.
