SAM fault messages
SAM display

1 2-line LC display
2 Time indicator for alarms
The structure of the display (1) is as follows:
• First line
• Fault indication
• # (2) = Alarm is no longer active, does not appear on next power-up,
• A = Currently active alarms,
• B = Alarm was active during the last hour,
• C = Alarm was active during the last four hours,
• C = Alarm was active during the last four to twelve hours,
• E = Alarm was active more than twelve hours ago.
.
• Fault type (e.g. SE03).
• Node number at which the fault occurred (e.g. nd05).
• Second line (option)
• Running text, providing more information about the fault currently displayed
Proceed to the next alarm by pressing key ( ).

The engine can still be operated providing that automatic engine shutdown to protect the engine has not been
configured or is not tripped. Contact Service immediately/benachrichtigen/start fault rectification.
Red alarm:
Caution, the engine is running at its limits. Shut down manually without further delay if the engine
does not shut itself down immediately after a red alarm is signalled.
Fault and alarm messages
The fault code numbers are generated by the Engine Control Unit and transmitted to the following display.

The fault code (1) comprises three numbers.

Fault messages may also be caused by faulty sensors/actuators. Contact Service to have sensors/actuators
checked and replaced as necessary should troubleshooting as prescribed in the table below prove unsuccessful.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The information provided in the columns “Meaning” and “Action” applies to the standard default state of the genset
on delivery. Differing system responses requiring different action may result when settings are changed by the
OEM. The OEM is responsible for documenting any changes and defining appropriate counteraction.
The table below lists possible fault codes:
