    Precautions
    Security Measures
    • Before operating or maintaining the DG, get familiar with the installation manual and master the operation
    requirements for the DG components.
    • When starting the DG and maintaining the engine, generator, and apparatuses and devices installed on the
    DG, read and follow instructions in maintenance manuals and user manuals provided by manufacturers, and
    other maintenance manuals delivered with the DG.
    • Before performing the operation and maintenance steps not specified in this document or related documents,
    contact Huawei for permission. Otherwise, unexpected personal injury or equipment damage may be caused.
    • Keep sparks, fire, and flammable objects away from the DG.
    • When you are performing maintenance near the engine or a rotating component, take off your ID card and tie
    your hair and put them in your hat to protect them from being twisted into high-speed moving components
    (such as a fan or drive bearing), avoiding personal injury or death.
    Safety Regulations
    To ensure safe and reliable operating of equipment, properly maintain and service equipment. The only way to
    avoid personal injury and damage to equipment is strictly following operation rules and safety regulations.
    Electrical Safety
    • Ground the DG properly. Lock all electric panels. Use insulated tools to check and repair electric devices.
    Avoid electric shocks in wet environments.
    • Follow all electrical regulations. Only qualified personnel are allowed to install, check, and repair electric
    parts of equipment.
    Operating Safety
    • Do not use the DG in places with explosives.
    • Do not get close to the running DG. Loose clothes, hair, and falling tools may cause serious personal
    injury and damage to equipment.
    • For a running DG, its exposed pipes and components are at high temperatures. Avoid touching them to
    prevent burns.
    Fire Prevention
    • Metal objects can result in short circuits, which may cause fire.
    • Keep the engine clean because excessive oil stains may cause engine overheated, which leads to fire and
    damage to equipment.
    • Place multiple dry powder or CO2 fire extinguishers besides the DG.

    NOTICE: •Do not add or drain coolant, engine oil, or fuel when the DG is running.
    •Do not check the oil level dipstick when the DG is running.

    Alarm Alarming Possible Cause Measures


    Mode

    overspeed Generating an • Speed sensor fault • check the speed sensor


    alarm and and cable connection
    shutting down
    the DG

    underspeed Generating an • Low fuel level in fuel • check the speed sensor
    alarm and tank and cable connection
    shutting down • Speed sensor fault or
    the DG speed sensor cable

    1. Checking the Fuel in the Fuel Tank

    Step 1. View the fuel level indicator or on the ECC500 screen of the fuel tank to check
    whether the fuel is sufficient.

    Figure 1-1 Checking the fuel level on the fuel level indicator

    (1) The fuel level indicator

    Figure 1-2Checking the fuel level on the ECC500 screen

    • The low fuel level may cause the generator set stopping and trigger the “Underspeed Pro”
    alarm.

    2. Checking the Cable Connection of the Speed Sensor

    Step 1. Unplug the speed sensor connector, check the male metal pin and the pinhole of
    the connector. If the pin or pinhole is broken, replace the connector

    Figure 2-1 Checking the connector of the speed sensor

    (1) The connector of the speed sensor

    Step 2. Measure whether the resistance between R+ of the speed sensor plug and R+ pin
    of the GMU is conductive.

    2. Checking the Cable Connection of the Speed Sensor

    Step 3. Measure whether the resistance between R- of the speed sensor plug and R- pin
    of the GMU is conductive.

    • If the resistance is conductive, proceed with the operations described in section 3.


    "Checking Speed Sensor.“
    • If the resistance is not conductive, replace the plug and connect the cable again.

    3. Adjust the Position of the Speed Sensor

    Step 1. Stop the generator set. First hold the speed sensor bolt, unscrew the speed sensor
    nut, then loosen the speed sensor.

    3. Adjust the Position of the Speed Sensor

    Step 2. Rotate the speed sensor bolt clockwise slowly and lightly until you can feel the
    rotation is blocked, then stopping the rotation.

    Step 3. Rotate Make a marker on the speed sensor, rotate the speed sensor counter-
    clockwise for 3/4 circle, then hold the speed sensor bolt and screw the speed
    sensor nut to tighten the speed sensor.

    Start the generator set and check the rotational speed of the engine on the GMU
    screen, if the speed is normal, the inspection is over, otherwise, replace the speed
    sensor and adjust the position as above steps (Huawei part number: 52261718 /
    52261420).

    4. Restoring Components of the Generator Set

    After troubleshooting is complete, check and restore the components changed or moved
    during the troubleshooting process. Ensure that the fuel pipes of the generator set do not
    leak, and the cables are not loose or short-circuited. Set the GMU mode to automatic
    before leaving the site.
