Failure

All system or operational errors cause the engine to be shut down.

Error

Description

Alarm shutdown caused by alarm number.

The engine was shut down by alarm number. This function was defined in the configuration (see Inputs/Outputs – Alarms).

The current sensor of output bank name failed. Restart the ignition controller. If the error occurs again after restarting the device, please contact MOTORTECH.

Cycle signal was missing, so more trigger signals were counted than available per cycle.

Cycle signal was missing, so more trigger signals were counted than available per cycle. Check the pickups and the corresponding configuration (see Engine – Pickups). Furthermore, also pay attention to the instructions in the section entitled Pickup Input Errors.

Device started after supply voltage failure.

The device was started after a failure of the supply voltage. Please check the power supply of the device where applicable.

General error number.

General error number. An undefined error has occurred. Restart the ignition controller. If the error occurs again after restarting the device, please contact MOTORTECH.

General error in pickup pre-processing on pickup input PUnumber.

General error in pickup pre-processing on pickup input PUnumber. Check the pickups and the corresponding configuration (see Engine – Pickups). Furthermore, also pay attention to the instructions in the section entitled Pickup Input Errors.

Number of trigger signals (number) counted does not match the configured value.

Number of trigger signals (number) counted does not match the configured value. Check the pickups and the corresponding configuration (see Engine – Pickups). Furthermore, also pay attention to the instructions in the section entitled Pickup Input Errors.

Operational error caused by pickup signals. PU1 = x, PU2 = y, PU3 = z.

An operational error was caused by pickup signals (pickup PU1 = x, pickup PU2 = y, pickup PU3 = z).

For information on the numbers shown, please consult the documentation on the pickup status bits on the storage device enclosed with the ignition controller. You can open the file via the menu: Documentation -> More information.

Check the pickups and the corresponding configuration (see Engine – Pickups). Furthermore, also pay attention to the instructions in the section entitled Pickup Input Errors.

Output board identification failed due to a checksum error.

The identification of the output board failed due to a checksum error. Restart the ignition controller. If the error occurs again after restarting the device, please contact MOTORTECH.

Output board identification failed due to incompatible hardware.

The identification of the output board failed due to incompatible hardware. Restart the ignition controller. If the error occurs again after restarting the device, please contact MOTORTECH.

Output board identification failed due to missing data.

The identification of the output board failed due to missing data. Restart the ignition controller. If the error occurs again after restarting the device, please contact MOTORTECH.

Output board identification failed due to unknown error number.

The identification of the output board failed due to unknown error number. Characteristic data of the output board could not be read, they are defective or do not match the device. Restart the ignition controller. If the error occurs again after restarting the device, please contact MOTORTECH.

Output board identification failed due to unknown hardware.

The identification of the output board failed due to unknown hardware. Characteristic data of the output board could not be read, they are defective or do not match the device. Restart the ignition controller. If the error occurs again after restarting the device, please contact MOTORTECH.

Power failure detected on output Anumber/Bnumber.

Power supply fault in output board caused by output Anumber/Bnumber was detected. Restart the ignition controller. If the error occurs again after restarting the device, please contact MOTORTECH.

Power output (x W) exceeded error threshold limit (y W) at a supply voltage of z V.

The power output (x W) exceeded failure threshold (y W) at a supply voltage of z V.

Power output (x W) exceeded permanent limit (y W) at a supply voltage of z V.

The power output (x W) exceeded warning threshold limit (y W) for longer than three minutes at a supply voltage of z V .

Self test aborted because pickup signals have been detected on pickup input PUnumber.

Self test aborted because pickup signals have been detected on pickup input PUnumber. Self test can only be carried out when engine is at a standstill (see Self Test).
Potential causes:

  • Interference coupling on pickup signal
  • Engine was started

Speed (x RPM) exceeded overspeed limit (y RPM) at trigger signal number.

The speed (x RPM) exceeded overspeed limit (y RPM) at trigger signal number (see Engine – Pickups). The reason for this may also be an interference coupling on the trigger signal.

Supply voltage failure.

Supply voltage failure. Please check the power supply of the device where applicable.

Temperature of controller board (x °C) exceeded limit (y °C).

The temperature of controller board (x °C) exceeded limit (y° C). Ensure that there is sufficient air circulation and/or cooling.

Temperature of device (x °C) exceeded error threshold limit (y °C).

The temperature of the device (x °C) exceeded failure threshold (y °C). Ensure that there is sufficient air circulation and/or cooling.

Temperature of device (x °C) exceeded permanent limit (y °C).

The temperature of the device (x °C) exceeded warning threshold limit (y °C) for more than two minutes. Ensure that there is sufficient air circulation and/or cooling.

Temperature of output board (x °C) exceeded limit (y °C).

The temperature of output board (x °C) exceeded limit (y °C). Ensure that there is sufficient air circulation and/or cooling.

Temperature sensor of controller board failed.

The temperature sensor of controller board failed. Restart the ignition controller. If the error occurs again after restarting the device, please contact MOTORTECH.

Temperature sensor of output board failed.
