Why does my Briggs & Stratton GC1031 display incorrect PF N value or kW or load current?
If the Briggs & Stratton Controller displays an incorrect PF N value, kW, or load current, verify the wiring of the alternator phase voltage and the CT to the controller. Also, if the kW or current reading is faulty, check the CT ratio.
Why is my Briggs & Stratton Controller displaying incorrect Mains voltage or incorrect main alternator voltage?
If the Briggs & Stratton Controller displays an incorrect Mains voltage or incorrect main alternator voltage, check the wiring of the respective phase to the controller.
What to do if my Briggs & Stratton Controller generates unnecessary “Shutdown Alarms” or “Warning Alarms”?
If the Briggs & Stratton Controller generates unnecessary “Shutdown Alarms” or “Warning Alarms”, check the respective switch/sensor and wiring. Also, verify the respective threshold configuration in the controller's “Configuration Mode”.
Why does my Briggs & Stratton GC1031 Controller display incorrect engine RPM?
If the Briggs & Stratton Controller displays an incorrect engine RPM, check the MPU connection and configuration (if enabled). Also, check the wiring of the main alternator’s R-phase and neutral to the controller.
How to troubleshoot a Briggs & Stratton GC1031 that does not power ON?
If the Briggs & Stratton Controller does not power on, check the battery voltage, the fuse on the battery supply, the continuity between battery positive and controller terminal # 2, and the continuity between battery negative and controller terminal # 1.
What to do if my Briggs & Stratton Controller fails to crank-start the engine?
If the Briggs & Stratton Controller fails to crank-start the engine: * Check the battery voltage. * Enter “Configuration Mode” and verify the configuration for the “START” output, ensuring the “START” output is working correctly by measuring its output voltage. * Enter “Configuration Mode” and verify the configuration of the “CRANK DISCONNECT” method.
Why does my Briggs & Stratton Controller show genset to be “OFF” when the engine is running?
If the engine runs, but the Briggs & Stratton Controller shows genset to be “OFF”, check if the MPU signal (if used), and main alternator voltage signal (R/L1 phase) are received by the controller terminals. Also, check if the LOP and LLOP are working correctly and verify their wiring to the controller.
How to fix a Briggs & Stratton GC1031 Controller that does not maintain the target RPM?
If the Briggs & Stratton Controller does not maintain the target RPM, the engine RPM is not stable, or the engine hunts, and the controller cranks the engine but does not start it, perform the following checks: 1. Check the wiring of the actuator to the controller's terminal. 2. Check if the mechanical linkage assembly is OK. 3. Enter “Configuration Mode” and verify the configuration for “GOVERNOR”. Also, check the PID control gains. 4. Check that the Actuator moves to full throttle position when the engine is cranked.
Why does the “Emergency Stop” alarm come up on my Briggs & Stratton GC1031 when the “Emergency Stop” is not pressed?
If the “Emergency Stop” alarm appears on the Briggs & Stratton Controller even when the “Emergency Stop” is not pressed, check if the “Emergency Stop” switch is working correctly, including its wiring. Also, verify the configuration of “EMERGENCY STOP” polarity in the “Configuration Mode”.
What to do if Briggs & Stratton GC1031 displays incorrect reading for any of LOP, Fuel Level, Temperature sensors?
If the Briggs & Stratton Controller displays incorrect readings for any of LOP, Fuel Level, or Temperature sensors, check the respective sensor and its wiring. Also, enter “configuration mode” in the controller and verify the calibration for the respective sensor in configuration.
