Fault Classifications
SMCS - 4467
There is a degree of severity that is attached to every fault. There are four classes of faults which the
digital voltage regulator will annunciate.
Alarm Fault
Resettable Shutdown Fault
Non-Resettable Shutdown Fault
Severe Fault
Alarm Fault
Alarm faults indicate a condition that will not inhibit the function of the digital voltage regulator and
the generator set. Alarm faults have fault codes in the 600's range. A condition such as a partial
internal memory failure is an alarm fault. The generator set continues to operate at a normal level.
When an alarm fault occurs, the fault code will flash on the display of the digital voltage regulator.
Pressing the function key toggles the display to show the parameter for the latest fault. The user can
then investigate the various parameters of the digital voltage regulator through the keypad and
display. All information that is shown on the display will be flashing. Alarm faults must be reset
before another alarm fault can be declared. However, a successive shutdown fault will override an
alarm fault, and move the alarm fault code to the previous fault location. In order to clear an alarm
fault, see System Operation, "Parameters".
Resettable Shutdown Fault

Resettable shutdown faults indicate a condition where the digital voltage regulator or the generator set
exhibit a degradation of power generation performance. Resettable shutdown faults have fault codes
in the 700's range. Conditions such as undervoltage and overvoltage are resettable shutdown faults.
The generator set continues to operate, but at a reduced level too low to sustain load (excitation

voltage of 3.0 VDC or less at F1 and F2). When a resettable shutdown fault occurs, the fault code will
flash on the display of the digital voltage regulator. Pressing the function key toggles the display to
show ":92", the parameter for the latest faults. The user can then investigate the various parameters of
the digital voltage regulator through the keypad and display. All information that is shown on the
display will be flashing. In order to reset a resettable shutdown fault, activate parameter :96 or the
fault reset switch. See System Operation, "Customer Options". After the fault is reset, the display will
stop flashing and return to parameter :01, but parameter :92 will still contain the fault code. The
digital voltage regulator will immediately begin to regulate voltage again. In order to clear the fault
code, use parameter :94.
Non-Resettable Shutdown Fault

Non-Resettable shutdown faults indicate a condition where the digital voltage regulator cannot be
safely run. Non-resettable shutdown faults have fault codes in the 800's range. Conditions such as
sensing loss and frequency loss are non-resettable shutdown faults. The generator set continues to
operate, but at a reduced level too low to sustain load (excitation voltage of 3.0 VDC or less at F1 and
F2). When a non-resettable shutdown fault occurs, the fault code will flash on the display of the
digital voltage regulator. Pressing the function key toggles the display to show ":92", the parameter
for the latest faults. The user can then investigate the various parameters of the digital voltage
regulator through the keypad and display. All information that is shown on the display will be
flashing. In order to reset a non-resettable shutdown fault, remove power from the digital voltage
regulator (remove 24 VDC from "B+"/"B-" inputs).
Severe Fault
Severe faults indicate the existence of a condition which would be dangerous if not harmful to run the
digital voltage regulator. Severe faults have fault codes in the 900's range. An example of a severe
fault is fault code 901 which indicates that the internal memory of the digital voltage regulator is not
functioning properly. The memory contains parameter data that is read each time the digital voltage
regulator is powered-up (24 VDC applied to "B+"/"B-" inputs). The parameters configure the digital
voltage regulator to the specific generator set. When a severe fault occurs, the fault code will flash on
the display of the digital voltage regulator. Also, the keypad will be disabled (the keys will have no
effect on the digital voltage regulator and the external shutdown fault reset will have no effect on the
digital voltage regulator). A severe fault cannot be reset. These faults occur at power-up or when
writing a new value to EEPROM memory. Severe faults cause the digital voltage regulator to prohibit
power generation. The digital voltage regulator must be replaced.
