Faults And Alarms - Kohler KD800 Operation

2.10.1 Faults and Alarms

Press the Alarm (!) button shown in Figure 2-27 to view a
list of generator set events, including status messages,
alarms, and faults.
A status message communicates the state of the
generator set (example: appearance of Stop mode).
An alarm (warning) signals an impending problem
(example: coolant temperature alarm). The alarm
button flashes orange. See Figure 2-28. A warning
(alarm) appears in orange on the screen and does not
cause the generator to shut down.
A fault shuts down the generator set (example: oil
pressure fault). The alarm button flashes red. See
Figure 2-29. A fault appears in red on the screen and
causes the generator to shut down (instantly or
delayed, depending on the programmed incidence).
A number on the alarm button indicates the number of
active faults and/or alarms.
There are some exceptions. A specific fault message on
the HMI screen may be processed as an alarm by the
PLC, so there is no engine shutdown.
Press the stop horn button. The horn (if equipped)
turns off and the stop horn button disappears. The alarm
button stops flashing and turns orange.
Press the alarm (!) button. A list of the last three active
alarms that have not been reset is displayed. See
Figure 2-30. Alarms and faults are listed in
chronological order.
