High Temperature (FC_7)
This fault is indicated by fault code FC_7 and seven blinks on
the remote LED indicator. The contacts of the temperature
switch are normally open. If the engine temperature exceeds
approximately 149°C (300°F), the fault is detected and the
engine shuts down.
Common causes for this condition include running the
unit with access doors removed, obstructed air inlet or
exhaust port, low oil level, or debris in the engine cylinder
cooling fins.
To resolve the problem, let the engine cool down and remove
any accumulated debris and obstructions. Ensure that all
access doors are installed whenever the unit is running.
Transfer Switch Fault (FC_8)
This fault is indicated by fault code FC_8 and eight blinks on
the remote LED indicator (if transfer switch is equipped with
fault detection).
The most likely cause of this fault is a blown fuse in the
transfer switch. To remedy the problem, contact your installer
or an authorized dealer.
