Troubleshooting of inaccurate oil level display on diesel generator sets - Expert solutions

ABSTRACT

When your diesel generator set fuel tank is full, but the controller screen shows that the oil level is too low (such as only showing 2%), this usually indicates a sensor or setting problem.

When your diesel generator set fuel tank is full, but the controller screen shows that the oil level is too low (such as only showing 2%), this usually indicates a sensor or setting problem. The following are systematic troubleshooting steps:

 


Step 1: Check the oil pressure sensor function

 

1. Safe operation: First shut down the generator set and disconnect the power

2. Locate the sensor: Find the oil pressure sensor inside the unit

3. Function test:

-Remove the sensor

-Touch one end of the sensor to the metal door hook (as a ground)

-Slowly swing the float rod from the lowest point to the highest point

-Observe the change in the controller display value

   

       

Result analysis:

-Change: The basic function of the sensor is normal, proceed to the second step of inspection

-No change: The sensor may be faulty and needs to be replaced

 

Step 2: Calibrate the controller display value

If the sensor test is normal but the display is inaccurate (such as only showing 53% at the highest):

 

1 .Enter the controller settings menu:

-General Chinese brand controller: Select setting 78

-SMARTGEN brand controller: Select setting 94

2. Adjust the parameters to the correct values according to the video tutorial

3. Save the settings and restart the controller to verify

 

Professional advice

1. Regular calibration: It is recommended to calibrate the sensor and controller every 6 months

2. Environmental factors: Extreme temperatures may affect sensor accuracy

3. Accessory quality: Use original sensors to ensure compatibility

 

When to need professional support

If the problem is still not solved after completing the above steps, there may be:

-Line connection problem

-Controller software failure

-Other abnormal components of the fuel system
