5.11.2 Faults Related to Paralleling
If the PowerSyncr Automatic Paralleling Module (APM)
is used with two 14 kW or two 20 kW generator sets,
additional faults and events related to the paralleling
system may be displayed on the controller and/or in
OnCuer Plus. This section lists those faults and events
in Figure 5-13 and Figure 5-14. See the installation
instructions provided with the APM for additional
paralleling information.

Fault Text Description Possible Causes *
BusDeadLive The bus is measured to be dead when one of the
generators is supposed to be supplying voltage to the
bus (closed contactor).
Bus metering V9A and V9B connections
to V9 of paralleling protection harness are
connected incorrectly.
BusLiveDead The bus is measured to be live when no generators
are connected to it (both contactors open).
Bus metering V9A and V9B connections
to V9 of paralleling protection harness
connected incorrectly.
CfgModelNum The two generators that are intended to be paralleled
have incompatible model numbers.
Incorrect configuration of one of the
generators. Different generator types.
The paralleled generator sets must be the
same kW model. (i.e. tw o 14 kW or two
20 kW models.)
CfgSysVolt The system voltage of the two generators intended to
be paralleled is not the same. Because the system
does not know which voltage is correct, the generators
will not be allowed to start.
One of the two generators is incorrectly
configured.
Intermittent connections on RBUS network
wiring.
ChkngMeter This generator has paralleled to the other generator
and is verifying that the metering is connected and
establishing the connection direction.
Status message appears the first time the
two generators are paralleled.
ConCheckFail Failure to Auto-Discover APM connections. Wires 9A and 9B crossed between the
generators.
Wires 9A or 9B not connected
ConChecking Performing APM connection auto-discovery. This generator has started in RUN, the
other generator is in OFF.
ConNotDeterm APM connection auto-discovery is not complete. This
means that the generator does not know which
contactor is connected to it.
Generators not yet started in RUN with
other generator in OFF. See the APM
instruction sheet for instructions to
perform the auto-discovery procedure.
ContactorOk Successful auto-discovery of APM connections. Auto-discovery was activated by placing
other generator in OFF and this generator
in RUN.
