Why does my DynaGen Controller's engine start but the crank output not turn off?

  Yolanda BrennanAug 1, 2025
  If the DynaGen Controller's engine starts but the crank output doesn't turn off, it might be due to the controller not receiving a speed signal. To resolve this, verify that the Sensors -> Engine Speed -> Signal Source setting is correctly configured, and that the Timers -> Engine Logic -> RPM Disconnect setting is also correct. Also, check the wiring to the controller. For magnetic pickup, ensure the Speed Sensing A and B terminals are used. If using generator voltage, make sure the AC voltage connections are correctly set.

What to do if DynaGen Controller sensor always displays its lowest or highest value?
- K
  Karen PerryAug 15, 2025
  If a sensor on your DynaGen Controller always displays its lowest or highest value, the sensor might be open (not connected) or shorted to ground. Check your connections and ensure that the correct sender table is loaded to fix this.
