Fail class
All activated alarms must be configured with a fail class. The fail classes define the category of
the alarms and the subsequent alarm action.
Six different fail classes can be used. The tables below illustrate the action of each fail class
when the engine is running or stopped.
Engine running
The table illustrates the action of the fail classes. If, for instance, an alarm has been configured
with the ‘shutdown’ fail class, the following actions occur.
•
The alarm horn relay will activate
•
The alarm will be displayed in the alarm info screen
•
The generator breaker will open instantly
•
The gen-set is stopped instantly
•
The gen-set cannot be started from the unit (see next table)

In addition to the actions defined by the fail classes, it is possible to activate
one or two relay outputs, if additional relays are available in the unit.
The fail class ‘trip and stop’ will only deload the gen-
set before opening the
breaker, if option G5 (power management) is included.
