3.4 — Alarm Response Procedures
The generator is protected by factory set alarms and warnings. The alarms and warnings alert the owner/operator of a
fault condition that requires attention and action to keep the generator operating in an efficient and safe running order.
3.4.1— Alarm Types
When any alarm is triggered, the Common Alarm Horn sounds, the Alarm LED flashes, and the Alarm Page in the
Right Display Window becomes active.
NOTE: Not all faults can be corrected and cleared by the owner/operator. Some Warnings and most Alarm con-
ditions must be safely cleared by a qualified dealer or trained technician.
3.4.1.1—Warnings
Warnings are the lowest level alarm, and are generated to alert the operator that an operating condition has changed
and may require action or inspection. Warnings clear once they are no longer active.
3.4.1.2—Non-Shutdown Alarms
Non-shutdown alarms are more urgent than warnings, and indicate a system parameter which is approaching or has
exceeded a safe operating limit. Non-shutdown alarms require some form of action, such as inspection, close monitor-
ing, etc. These types of alarms clear when they are no longer active and have been acknowledged.
3.4.1.3—Shutdown Alarms
Shutdown Alarms protect the generator from damage and indicate a system fault that if continued without immediate
inspection or correction would result in damage to the unit. Shutdown Alarms are cleared only after the key switch has
been placed in the OFF position and they are no longer active.
3.4.2— Alarm Display Window
Three system warning and alarm pages can be displayed in the Right Display Window. Each page is capable of dis-
playing three warnings and/or alarms. If there are more than nine total warnings/alarms, only the most recent are dis-
played. All warnings and alarms remain in the list until they are cleared.
•
Warnings clear when they are no longer active.
•
Alarms clear when they have been acknowledged and the alarm condition has been corrected.
•
Shutdown alarms clear only after they have been acknowledged, the alarm condition has been corrected, the
Key Switch has been cycled from the "AUTO" to the "OFF" position, and the alarm is no longer active.
Any active warning or alarm condition will sound the Common Alarm Horn, and the Right Display Window immediately
changes to the first alarm page.
