Resetting the Controller after a

Fault Shutdown

Always identify and correct the cause of a fault

shutdown before resetting the controller.

following procedure to reset the generator set controller

after a fault shutdown.

1. Move the generator set master switch to the

OFF/RESET position.

2. Disconnect the generator set from the load using

the line circuit breaker or ATS. See the safety

precautions at the beginning of this manual before

proceeding.

3. Identify and correct the cause of the fault

shutdown.

See the safety precautions at the

beginning of this manual before proceeding. Refer

to Section 4, Troubleshooting.

4. Start the generator set by moving the generator set

master switch to RUN. Test operate the generator

set to verify that the cause of the shutdown has

been corrected.

5. Shut the generator off by moving the generator set

master switch to the OFF/RESET position.

6. Reconnect the generator set to the load using the

line circuit breaker or ATS.

7. Move the generator set master switch to the AUTO

position for startup by remote transfer switch,

remote start/stop switch, or remote digital gauge.

Opening and closing the remote start/stop contact

also resets the controller.

2.4.6

Continuous Power Mode

The controller is powered by the generator set engine

starting battery. A jumper on the back of the controller

maintains power to the controller at all times.

Controllers are shipped with the jumper connected.

Note: Remote communications require an active

(powered-up) controller.

ADC 2100 consumes 250 mA when the master

switch is in the AUTO position with the jumper

connected.

If you do not plan to use your

generator set for a long period of time, Kohler

recommends moving the master switch to the

OFF/RESET position (0 mA draw).

Disconnecting the jumper allows the controller to power

down automatically 48 hours after the generator set

shuts down if the generator set master switch is in the

TP-6334

Be advised that the

AUTO position. A remote start signal (from a transfer

switch or a remote start/stop switch connected to P21

connector, leads 3 and 4) or moving the generator set

master switch to the RUN position turns the controller

back on. See the Installation Manual for instructions to

disconnect the jumper.

Note: For remote starting using the digital gauge, the

continuous power mode jumper must be

connected.

2.5 Circuit Protection

If the generator set circuit breaker trips or the fuses blow

repeatedly, see Section 4, Troubleshooting, for possible

causes.

2.5.1

Line Circuit Breaker

A line circuit breaker interrupts the generator output in

the event of a fault in the wiring between the generator

and the load. The line circuit breaker location is shown

in Figure 1-1. If the circuit breaker trips, reduce the load

and switch the breaker back to the ON position.

2.5.2

Fuses

The engine harness contains three 10-amp inline fuses.

Always identify and correct the cause of a blown fuse

before restarting the generator set. Refer to section 4,

Troubleshooting, for conditions that may indicate a

blown fuse.

Obtain service from an authorized

distributor/dealer.

Controller Fuse. A replaceable 10-amp fuse protects

the controller circuitry. If the controller display is dark,

check the battery and battery connections and then

check the controller fuse. Replace the fuse if it is blown.

Relay Fuse. A replaceable 10-amp fuse protects the

engine relays. If the generator set does not crank, check

the battery and battery connections and then check the

relay fuse. Replace the fuse if it is blown.

Auxiliary Winding Fuse. A replaceable 10-amp fuse

protects the alternator.
