system’s frequency setpoint for more than 10
seconds. Function becomes active 10 seconds
after engine start (10 second inhibit).
Contact an authorized
distributor/dealer for service.
Frequency Low SD * Governed frequency falls below 90% of the
system frequency setting for more than
10 seconds, or 1 Hz below the system frequency
setting for more than 60 seconds.
Function becomes active 10 seconds after
engine start (10 second inhibit).
Reduce the load and restart the
generator set.
Contact an authorized
distributor/dealer for service.
Lo Crank Vlt W Low cranking voltage. Battery voltage falls below
8 VDC for more than 6 seconds while the starter
is engaged.
Charge or replace the battery.
MainPwrOverL SD Main power overload. An over current fault on
the 70 controller power output (short circuit).
Contact an authorized
distributor/dealer for service.
Check for shorted run relay.

protect against low oil level. Check the engine oil
level regularly as recommended in Section 5.
Check for leaks in the lubrication

Contact an authorized
distributor/dealer for service.
Total Power
High
SD Measured load is greater than 102% of the
generator set pow er rating for more than 1
minute (10RESV and 12RESV only).
Reduce the load.
Volts L1-L2
High
SD * Generator voltage high. Output voltage exceeds
120% of the system nominal voltage for more
than 2 seconds.
Contact an authorized
distributor/dealer for service.
Volts L1-L2 Low SD * Generator voltage low. Output voltage falls
below 80% of the nominal system voltage for
more than 10 seconds.
Reduce the load and restart the
