Why does alarm 30A start fail occur on Woodward easYgen-300 Control Panel?
P
Paul WilsonAug 26, 2025
If alarm "30A - Start fail" occurs on your Woodward Control Panel, possible causes include a low fuel situation, a disconnected fuel line, a defective or miswired fuel relay output, a defective or miswired crank relay output, or a crank cutout speed parameter set too low. To troubleshoot, check if enough fuel is present, ensure the fuel line is properly connected, measure the resistance between terminals 13 and 11 (fuel relay) and 14 and 11 (crank relay) on the easYgen-300, and measure engine speed when cranking before ignition.

Why does alarm 60A oil pressure occur on Woodward easYgen-300 after engine has fired?
A
Adam ButlerAug 27, 2025
If the "60A - Oil pressure" alarm appears after the engine starts on your Woodward Control Panel, the engine may not be producing oil pressure, the oil pressure sensor could be miswired or defective. You should check the engine oil pressure, the wiring of the oil pressure sensor, and the oil pressure sensor itself.

What to do if alarm 13A Generator undervoltage occurs on Woodward Control Unit?
T
Timothy HurstSep 14, 2025
If alarm "13A - Generator undervoltage" occurs after the engine has started, it might be because the generator voltages are not properly connected to the easYgen-300, so check generator voltages after engine startup. Also, the wiring selected for the generator voltage measurement might be wrong, so use the LeoPC1 configuration software to check the settings of the parameter "Generator voltage measuring". Finally, the voltage regulator may not be set correctly, so adjust the voltage regulator's rated voltage or remote voltage setting.

How to fix engine overspeeding on Woodward Control Unit startup?
E
Erin DominguezSep 12, 2025
If the engine overspeeds on startup, it could be due to several reasons. First, the engine governor might not be set correctly, so adjust governor settings for proper response. Second, the parameter for overspeed level might not be set correctly, so set the correct speed for overspeed. Finally, the parameter for the number of pickup teeth might not be correct, so check that this setting is correct for the engine.

Why does alarm 21A Underspeed occur on Woodward Control Unit after engine start?
T
Teresa BrooksSep 12, 2025
If alarm "21A - Underspeed" occurs after the engine has started, it could be due to the pickup sensor being miswired to the easYgen-300, so check whether the pickup sensor is properly wired to terminals 37 (GND) and 38(+). It could also be that the pickup sensor is defective, so check the pickup sensor for proper functionality. Finally, the engine may have stalled, so troubleshoot the engine fuel and air supply, and check the air and fuel filters.

Doris DaySep 2, 2025
If the "13A - Generator undervoltage" alarm appears after the engine has fired on your Woodward Control Panel, the generator voltages may not be properly connected to the easYgen-300, or the wrong wiring might be selected for the generator voltage measurement. Check the generator voltages after the engine starts. Also, use the LeoPC1 configuration software to check the settings for the "Generator voltage measuring" parameter.

Why does alarm 51A Charge failure occur on Woodward easYgen-300 Control Panel?
B
bandrewsSep 3, 2025
If the "51A - Charge failure" alarm occurs after the engine has fired and the "Engine monitoring delay time" has expired on your Woodward Control Panel, the charge alternator might be miswired or have reversed polarity. If using a 24 Volt charge alternator, connect it to terminals 1 (-) and 3 (+). If using a 12 Volt charge alternator, connect it to terminals 1 (-) and 4 (+). With the charge alternator connected, measure the voltage at these terminals.
