When troubleshooting, always check for simple
problems first. Check for the following common
problems before replacing parts:
D Loose connections or damaged wiring.
D Discharged or dead battery. Check for a
non-functioning battery charging alternator or battery
charger.
D Fault shutdown. Check for a fault on the controller.
Section 2.6.5 describes the warning faults and
Section 2.6.6 describes the shutdown faults.
D Open circuit breakers. Reset the circuit breaker. If
the c ircuit breaker blows a gain, check the circuit
wiring and components for a cause.
D Incorrect controller settings. Always check the
controller configuration settings before replacing the
controller.
D Controller firmware. Some problems may be
solved by updating the controller’s application
program. Check Tech Tools on the Kohler Power
Resource Center for more information. A personal
computer (laptop) and Kohlerr SiteTe cht software
are required to update the firmware. See the
SiteTecht operation manual for instructions.
