1057 VSCF 
Overvoltage
RED Unit shuts down 
during operation 
or starting.
Check the 
LEDs/Screen 
for alarms.
Probable causes are: 
1) The generator has been overloaded. Remove load and 
attempt to restart unit.
2) Generator has started into a severe load. Manually 
operate generator breaker and try to restart unit. If prob-
lem persists, remove load and attempt to restart unit 
again.
1058 VSCF DC 
Undervoltage
RED Unit shuts down 
during operation 
or starting.
Check the 
LEDs/Screen 
for alarms.
The DPE winding supplies this voltage. 
1) Alternator damage. Contact servicing dealer.
1059 VSCF 
Field Loss
RED Unit shuts down 
during starting.
Check the 
LEDs/Screen 
for alarms.
Unit detects no output voltage while starting. 
1) Alternator damage. Contact servicing dealer.
1061 VSCF 
Field Loss
RED Unit shuts down 
during operation. 
Check the 
LEDs/Screen 
for alarms.
Unit detects loss of output voltage while running. 
1) Alternator damage. Contact servicing dealer.
1060 Big Fan Failure RED Unit shuts down 
during operation.
Check the 
LEDs/Screen 
for alarms.
This alarm occurs when the AVR electronics temperature 
exceeds 70 C. Possible causes are: 
1) AVR filter faulty. Replace AVR filter. 
2) Intake or exhaust air path is blocked. Check intake and 
exhaust. 
3) The BIG fan is not running (only runs when the engine 
is running). KEEP FINGERS AWAY FROM FAN HOUS-
ING- PERSONAL INJURY CAN OCCUR IF FAN IS RUN-
NING. Contact servicing dealer.
4) Air leak in AVR enclosure. Contact servicing dealer.
5) Engine running too hot. Inspect air intake and exhaust.
6) Ambient temperature has risen above 60º F. Derate the 
generator output per specifications.
If message is displayed when generator is stopped, also 
check SMALL fan. Small fan RUNS for 60 minutes after 
generator is stopped and keeps electronics cool during 
heat soak.
1065 Overfrequency RED Unit shuts down 
during operation.
Check the 
LEDs/Screen 
for alarms.
Probable causes are: 
1) Overload. Remove load and attempt to restart unit.
2) RPM sensor has failed. Contact servicing dealer.
3) Stepper motor problem. Contact servicing dealer.
1066 VSCF Speed 
mismatch
RED Unit shuts down 
during Operation 
or starting.
Check the 
LEDs/Screen 
for alarms.
1) Fuel problem (pressure loss). Check fuel supply and 
attempt to restart unit.
2) Large overload. Remove load and attempt to restart 
unit.
3) Throttle or engine problem. Contact servicing dealer.
1070 Small fan 
failure
YELLOW “Small fan failure” 
is displayed. If 
unit was running 
in AUTO, it will 
continue to run for 
one hour to cool 
electronics with-
out fan.
Check the 
LEDs/Screen 
for alarms.
Small fan current incorrect. Probable causes are: 
1) Fan wiring or mechanical problem. Contact servicing 
dealer.
2) Air path is blocked. Check AVR filter.
KEEP FINGERS AWAY FROM FAN HOUSING- PER-
SONAL INJURY CAN OCCUR IF FAN IS RUNNING.
