Advertisements
E01
Generator will not start and control panel displays E01 immediately after a start attempt.
Low Oil Shutdown / Oil Pressure Fault
E02
Generator shuts down shortly after starting and displays E02 on the A-iPower controller.
High Engine Temperature / Overheat Shutdown
E03
A-iPower standby generator cranks but does not start and the controller shows E03 after several attempts.
No Fuel / Fuel Supply Fault
E04
Generator stops and displays E04; output to the home is lost but engine may have run briefly before shutdown.
Overspeed Protection Trip
E05
A-iPower standby generator shuts down and shows E05; no AC output is available.
Underspeed / Engine RPM Too Low
E06
Controller displays E06 and the generator will not connect to the load; engine may run but no power is transferred.
Low AC Output Voltage
E07
Generator shuts down and displays E07; may occur when large loads start or during transfer.
Overvoltage Protection Trip
E08
A-iPower standby generator controller shows E08 and prevents start or shuts down shortly after start.
Battery Voltage Low
E09
Controller displays E09 and the generator will not crank when a start is requested.
Battery Voltage High / Charger Fault
E10
Generator attempts to start but stops cranking and shows E10 on the display.
Starter Motor / Cranking Fault
E11
A-iPower standby generator shuts down and displays E11 during operation, often under load.
Overcurrent / Output Overload
E12
Controller shows E12 and the generator will not start or transfer; may be accompanied by a warning buzzer.
Phase / Frequency Out of Range
E13
Generator stops and displays E13; may occur randomly during operation.
Engine Sensor Fault (Generic)
E14
Controller displays E14 and prevents automatic operation; manual start may or may not be allowed.
Emergency Stop / E-Stop Circuit Active
E15
A-iPower standby generator shows E15 and refuses to transfer load even though it is running.
Transfer Switch Communication Fault
E16
Controller displays E16 and logs a fuel-related alarm; generator may shut down or refuse to start.
Fuel Level Sensor Fault
E17
Generator controller shows E17 and logs an intake air fault; engine may run poorly or shut down.
Intake Air Temperature / Pressure Sensor Fault
E18
Controller displays E18 and the generator may shut down with a fuel system warning.
Fuel Solenoid / Shutoff Valve Fault
E19
Generator controller shows E19 and logs an exhaust or emissions-related fault.
Exhaust Temperature / Sensor Fault
E20
Controller displays E20 and the generator will not start; often accompanied by a service reminder.
Maintenance Interval Exceeded / Service Required
Symptom
Control panel display is blank or intermittent, but the generator may still run or crank.
Control Panel Power / Display Failure
Symptom
Corrosion, rust, or water accumulation is visible inside the generator enclosure.
Moisture Ingress / Corrosion Damage
Symptom
Fuel smell around the A-iPower standby generator, especially during or after operation.
Fuel Leak / Fuel Odor
Symptom
Generator cranks but will not start; no error code is displayed on the A-iPower controller.
No-Start Condition Without Fault Code
Symptom
Generator does not start automatically during a utility power outage, but can be started manually.
Failure to Auto-Start
Symptom
Generator emits visible white, blue, or black smoke from the exhaust during operation.
Abnormal Exhaust Smoke
Symptom
Generator enclosure is hot to the touch and internal components show signs of heat stress, but no overheat code is present.
Inadequate Ventilation / Enclosure Overheating
Symptom
Generator fails to shut down after utility power is restored; continues running with or without load.
Failure to Auto-Stop
Symptom
Generator frequently starts and stops (short cycling) even when there is no power outage.
Nuisance Starting / Short Cycling
Symptom
Generator is excessively noisy during operation compared to normal, with rattling or knocking sounds.
Abnormal Mechanical Noise
Symptom
Generator runs but produces no AC power; controller shows normal run status with no error code.
No AC Output Without Fault Code
Symptom
Generator runs but some circuits in the building experience flickering lights or unstable power.
Intermittent Power / Flicker
Symptom
Generator runs but voltage is low (lights dim, motors struggle) even though no error code is displayed.
Low Voltage Output Without Code
Symptom
Generator starts and runs, but the automatic transfer switch does not transfer the building load to generator power.
Failure to Transfer Load
Symptom
Generator starts but immediately stalls within a few seconds; no code is logged.
Start-Then-Stall Condition
Symptom
Generator vibrates excessively, causing the enclosure to shake and nearby structures to rattle.
Excessive Vibration
Symptom
Oil leaking under the generator or visible oil on the engine surfaces.
Engine Oil Leak
