NOT REACHED frequency. The generator will not take load when the alarm is present after the
safety timer.
PROTECTIONS DISABLED Shutdown and electrical trip alarms can be disabled by user configuration. In this
case, Protections Disabled will appear on the module display; The alarm text is
displayed but the engine will continue to run. This is ‘logged’ by the module to
allow DSE Technical Staff to check if the protections have been disabled on the
module at any time. This feature is available from V4 onwards.
LOW OIL PRESSURE The module detects that the engine oil pressure has fallen below the low oil
pressure pre-alarm setting level after the Safety On timer has expired.
ENGINE HIGH TEMPERATURE The module detects that the engine coolant temperature has exceeded the high
engine temperature pre-alarm setting level after the Safety On timer has expired.
ENGINE LOW TEMPERATURE The module detects that the engine coolant temperature has fallen below the
high engine temperature pre-alarm setting level.
OVERSPEED The engine speed has risen above the overspeed pre alarm setting
UNDERSPEED The engine speed has fallen below the underspeed pre alarm setting
GENERATOR OVER
FREQUENCY
The generator output frequency has risen above the pre-set pre-alarm setting.
GENERATOR UNDER
FREQUENCY
The generator output frequency has fallen below the pre-set pre-alarm setting
after the Safety On timer has expired.
GENERATOR OVER VOLTAGE The generator output voltage has risen above the pre-set pre-alarm setting.
GENERATOR UNDER
VOLTAGE
The generator output voltage has fallen below the pre-set pre-alarm setting after
the Safety On timer has expired.
INSUFFICIENT CAPACITY f the generator reach full load when they are in parallel with the mains (utility).
The LCD will indicate ‘INSUFFICIENT CAPACITY’ and the COMMON ALARM
LED will illuminate.
MAINS FAILED TO CLOSE If the mains breaker fails to close, a warning is initiated. The LCD will indicate
‘MAINS FAILED TO CLOSE’ and the COMMON ALARM LED will illuminate.
MAINS FAILED TO OPEN
If the mains breaker fails to open, a warning is initiated. The LCD will indicate
‘MAINS FAILED TO OPEN’ and the COMMON ALARM LED will illuminate.
ECU WARNING The engine ECU has detected a warning alarm and has informed the DSE
module of this situation. The exact error is also indicated on the module’s display.
If the module is configured for, CAN and receives an “error” message from the engine control unit, ‘Can
ECU Warning” is shown on the module’s display and a warning alarm is generated.
7.4 HIGH CURRENT WARNING ALARM
GENERATOR HIGH CURRENT, if the module detects a generator output current in excess of the pre-
set trip a warning alarm initiates. The module shows Alarm Warning High Current. If this high current
condition continues for an excess period, then the alarm escalates to a shutdown condition. For further
details of the high current alarm, please see High Current Shutdown Alarm.
By default, High Current Warning Alarm is self-resetting when the overcurrent condition is removed.
However enabling ‘all warnings are latched’ will cause the alarm to latch until reset manually. This is
enabled using the 8600 series configuration suite in conjunction with a compatible PC.
