Generac Generator Fault Codes

admin

At the controller, set the generator to OFF. Remove the 7.5A fuse from the controller. To turn the generator back ON: Install 7.5A fuse in controller. Confirm the generator MLCB (generator disconnect) is OFF (OPEN). At the controller, set the generator to AUTO mode. Generator will start and run. Allow generator to run and warm up for a few minutes. After seeing tons of search data for the forums and answering tons of questions both here and on the phone, this chart seems like a helpful idea! The following are some common e-Codes from the Generac Evolution controller that you may see if there is a problem. There is a short description next to each one explaining a possible problem and a solution. Controller Fault ALARM The controller has.

  1. Generac Generator Fault Codes Free
I'm being flooded with questions about the 2800 shutdown fault code for Air Cooled Generac generators... This code is VERY simple to fix. The new Generac WiFi products that are shipping come standard with the Aux Shutdown kits installed. The 15kW are larger units have 2 switches, while 14kW and lower use just 1 switch. The switches are located one on the very back of the unit just below the roof line near the electrical connections and the other is located INSIDE the generator on the black firewall panel in the upper right corner. These MUST BOTH be on for the unit to run. If either or both are turned off, the unit will show that alarm and not run. If either switch is turned off during the unit actually running, it will shut down. These are for emergency personnel in case there is a problem where the unit must be safely and quickly shutdown. There is a section in the owner's manual that will explain all about them as well.

AC Sensing Loss

The fault lamp illuminates yellow and the alarm horn sounds when the controller does not detect the nominal generator set AC output voltage after crank disconnect. The controller displays AC Sens Loss Warning.

Battery Charger Fault

The fault lamp illuminates yellow and the alarm horn sounds when the battery charger malfunctions. This fault feature requires an optional battery charger with a malfunction output for the lamp to function. Local display shows Batt Chg Flt Warning.

The fault lamp illuminates yellow and the alarm horn sounds when the generator set master control button is in the RUN or OFF/RESET mode. The local display shows Not In Auto Warning.

Overcrank

The fault lamp illuminates red, the alarm horn sounds, and cranking stops when the unit does not start within the defined cranking period. The local display shows Over Crank Shutdwn. See Section 2.3.1, Auto Starting, and Section 1.3.1, Status Event and Fault Specifications for cyclic crank specifications

Undervoltage

Generator

The fault lamp illuminates red, the alarm horn sounds, and the unit shuts down when the voltage drops below the undervoltage setting for the time delay period. The local display shows Volts (L1–L2, L2–L3, or L3–L1) Low Shutdwn. See Figure 2-7 for undervoltage specifications
