TP-6804 1/15 25Section 2 Generator Set Operation
2.5 Faults
The RDC2 or DC2 controller displays fault messages
for generator set warnings and shutdowns. Selected
fault messages are shown in Figure 2-3. Contact an
authorized distributor/dealer for service, if necessary.
2.5.1 Warnings
The controller displays a fault message but the
generator set does not shut down on a warning. The
controller resets automatically after a warning condition
is corrected.
2.5.2 Shutdowns
Under a fault shutdown condition, the generator set
shuts down automatically and the controller displays a
fault message. The OFF LED flashes. In some cases,
the engine cooldown cycle runs before the engine shuts
down. See Figure 2-3.
Shutdown switches (such as the low oil pressure switch
or high engine temperature switch) on the generator set
will automatically reset when the problem is corrected.
However, the fault c ondition at the controller does not
clear until the controller is r eset.
The generator set cannot be restarted until the fault
condition is corrected and the controller is reset. See
Section 2.5.4 for ins tructions to reset the controller after
a fault shutdown.
2.5.3 ATS Communication Errors
When a Model RXT transfer switch is used, an ATS fault
indicates that the connection to the interface board on
the transfer switch has been lost. Check the connection
to the ATS interface board.
2.5.4 Resetting the Controller after a
Fault Shutdown
Always identify and correct the cause of a fault
shutdown before resetting the controller. Check the
fault message displayed on the controller and refer to
Figure 2-3 to identify and correct the fault condition
before proceeding. Contact an authorized
distributor/dealer for service, if necessary.
