ECM Alarm Overview

Alarms are indicated in three ways: ECM LEDs, RS-485 communications

and alarm contact closures on ECM transponder interface. Alarm indication on

the ECM LEDs is obtained by pressing the service reset button momentarily and

noting the combination of illuminated LEDs. Pressing the service reset switch

again will reveal the next alarm in the list. When the alarm list has been

exhausted, all LEDs will flash several times and then return to their normal

functions. Placing the RAS switch to the STOP position for three (3)

seconds, then switching back to AUTO will clear any latched alarms and

start the generator if the cause of the alarm has been corrected. The

following table shows the LED patterns and the alarms they represent.
