Why Deif SGC 120 Controller shows incorrect PF value or kW or load current?
If the Deif Controller shows an incorrect PF value, kW, or load current, check the wiring of the respective alternator phase voltage and the CT to the controller. Also, verify the CT ratio if the kW or current reading is faulty.
What to do if Deif SGC 120 Controller shows Charge Fail alarm?
If the Deif Controller shows a Charge Fail alarm, follow these steps: * To check if the controller's charging alternator terminal is working: Disconnect the charging alternator wiring to the controller's terminal 7, short terminal 7 to the ground through a DC ammeter, crank-start the engine. The DC ammeter should indicate the current in the range of 200 to 400 mA for ~30 seconds. If yes, the controller's charging alternator terminal is working OK. * Disconnect and reconnect the charging alternator connection to the controller's terminal 7. * Check if the charging alternator is working OK.
Why Deif SGC 120 shows Emergency Stop alarm when it is not activated?
If the Emergency Stop alarm appears on your Deif Controller when the Emergency Stop isn't activated, check the emergency stop switch and its wiring to ensure they are working correctly. Also, verify the Emergency stop polarity configuration in the Controller's Configuration mode.
What to do if Deif SGC 120 Controller shows Error C03?
If the Deif Controller displays Error C03, which can happen if it loses connection to the PC during configuration, try these steps: First, press and hold the Stop/Config button while you restart the power to reset the controller. Then, resend the configuration file.
Why Deif SGC 120 does not maintain the target RPM?
If your Deif Controller isn't maintaining the target RPM, the engine RPM is unstable, or it cranks but doesn't start, try the following: * Make sure the mechanical linkage is working correctly. * Check the GOVERNOR configuration in the Controller's Configuration mode. * Verify the PID control gains. * Ensure the actuator moves to full throttle when cranking the engine.
How to troubleshoot Deif Controller when it does not start the engine with remote command?
If the Deif Controller doesn't start the engine when a Remote start command is sent, check the wiring of the Remote start signal to the controller's digital input terminal. Also, verify the configuration for the Remote start digital input terminal in the Controller's Configuration mode. Ensure that the controller is in Auto mode and that Mains monitoring and Site mode are disabled.
Why Deif Controller shows genset ON while genset is at rest?
If the governor actuator chatters even after the engine stops, the Deif Controller shows genset ON while genset is at rest, or a Fail to stop alarm occurs when genset is at rest, enter Configuration mode in the controller and verify the configuration for the LLOP and LOP. Also, check the wiring. Ensure that Mains voltage wiring is not connected by mistake to the controller's genset voltage terminals.
Why Deif Controller shows incorrect mains voltage?
If the Deif Controller shows incorrect mains voltage or incorrect main alternator voltage, check the wiring of the respective phase to the controller. If the problem persists, replace the controller and try again.
What to do if Deif SGC 120 fails to crank-start the engine?
If the Deif Controller fails to crank-start the engine, check the battery voltage. Enter the Configuration mode in the controller and verify the configuration for the Start output. Check that the Start output is working correctly by measuring its output voltage. Enter the Configuration mode in the controller and verify the configuration of the Crank disconnect method. Verify the configuration of the LLOP Switch polarity. Ensure that the lube oil pressure switch and sensor are working OK. Check their wiring.
Why Deif Controller shows genset to be OFF when engine runs?
If the engine runs, but the Deif Controller shows the genset to be OFF, check if the MPU signal (if used) and the main alternator voltage signal (L1 phase) are received by the controller terminals. Also, check if the LOP and LLOP are working correctly and verify the wiring to the controller.
