along with the oil topped up and oil filter etc. - See Service and Maintenance
Before carrying out any checks ensure all Load is unplugged from the generator and be aware of any
potential exposed Live terminals while the generator is running! All checks and tests should only be carried
out by a competent engineer - Ref. DC wiring diagram

Check
Most common faults/issues can be Identified by the fault icon displayed on the DSE 3110 LCD screen. The
table below shows a fault icon and/or the relevant possible causes and checks.
It is advised to have a mains 12V battery charger fitted to the generator battery in most cases of occasional
use fixed positioned generators or ensure the generator is started and allowed to continuously run for a
minimum of 1 hour once a week.

STEPHILL GENERATORS LTD STRESS THAT THE ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILTY FOR THE
SAFE USE OF THE GENERATOR RESTS WITH THE USER.
All standard Stephill SSD10000S generators use a DSE 3110 control module to operate/monitor the engine
and generator.
While the DSE 3110 module is in AUTO MODE the LCD screen will be permanently illuminated and it will not
go into any power saving or sleep modes.
If the module is left in AUTO MODE for extended long periods of time without running the generator it could
flatten the generator battery.
Engine Not Starting/Running - Starter motor not engaging
Waiting in AUTO MODE

Monitoring Systems
We strongly advise before attempting any fault finding is to check the health of the generator battery. It
should measure around 12.4 to 12.6 Volts DC while the generator is at standstill.
