    What to do if SEDEMAC GC1100 Controller fails to crank-start the engine?
    • L
      Laura CannonAug 2, 2025
      If the SEDEMAC Controller fails to crank and start the engine, you should: * Check the battery voltage. * Enter “configuration mode” in the controller and verify the configuration for the “Start Relay” output. Also, check that “Start Relay” output is working correctly by measuring its output voltage. * Enter “configuration mode” in the controller and verify the configuration of “CRANK DISCONNECT” method. * Verify the configuration of “LLOP SWITCH” polarity. Also, ensure that the 3+2n/4+2n switch & sensor are working OK. Check their wiring.

    How to fix SEDEMAC GC1100 Controller reporting a Charge Fail alarm?
    • T
      thomaslucasAug 22, 2025
      If the SEDEMAC Controller reports a “Charge Fail” alarm: * To check if the controller's charging alternator terminal is working or not: I. Disconnect the charging alternator wiring to the controller's terminal # 7. II. Short the terminal # 7 to the ground through a DC ammeter. III. Crank-start the engine. The DC ammeter should indicate the current in the range 200 - 400 mA for ~30 seconds. IV. If yes, the controller's charging alternator terminal is working OK. * Disconnect and re-connect the charging alternator and connection to the controller's terminal # 7. * Check if the charging alternator is working OK or not.

    Why does my SEDEMAC GC1100 issue unnecessary crank-start command after power on?
    • D
      David SmithAug 27, 2025
      If the SEDEMAC Controller issues an unnecessary “crank-start” command immediately after power on: * Ensure that the controller's output terminal is not directly connected to the starter relay. The controller's output should be given to an intermediate relay which should in-turn power the starter relay. The controller can get permanently damaged and will need to be replaced if this precaution is not taken. * Check start-relay connection with the suitable controller terminal. * Enter “configuration mode” in the controller and verify the configuration for “START MODE” and the “START."
