AL17 Improper generator or bus
voltage
The generator voltage or the bus
voltage are either too low or the
voltages do not match.
1. The generator voltage and the bus voltage must be above
10% of the nameplate voltage in P028 when setpoint P020 is
set to 700. Generator voltage and bus voltage must be above
50% of the nameplate voltage in P028 when setpoint P020 is
set to any other value than 700.
2. Check Setpoints P303 and P304 in order to determine
whether the generator voltage and the bus voltage match
within the tolerance that is specified.

AL18 Synchronizer Time-Out
The GSC+P is unable to
complete automatic
synchronization or dead bus
 paralleling within the time
allowed in P314.
Check for cause of synchronization time-out. Ensure that the
engine is responding properly to the GSC+P Speed Adjust 1
Output signal. Check for wiring errors. Check setpoints P313
and P314 for proper values. Increase the values, if necessary.

Illustration 1 g00442245
Upper Display With AL Fault Code AL3 Showing  

AL Fault Codes are shown as "AL1" through "AL15" on the upper display. The fault codes include specific
engine fault conditions. An example of a specific engine fault condition is the low engine oil pressure alarm.
An example of a protective relaying function is the underfrequency fault.

AL fault codes depend on certain setpoints. For more information on setpoints, see the Systems Operation,
"Service Mode". AL fault codes are not diagnosed by the GSC+. These codes are not stored in the fault log.
Many of the AL fault codes are programmable as a fault alarm or as a fault shutdown. The AL fault codes
are accompanied by either the fault alarm indicator or the fault shutdown indicator on the GSC+ in order to
show the severity of the fault.
