How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Confirm that no one is working on the generator or connected equipment before resetting any E-stop.

- Reset E-stop: Ensure all remote E-stop buttons are reset (pulled out or twisted as required).
- Check wiring continuity: Test the E-stop loop wiring from the controller to each station. Repair any open circuits.
- Contact inspection: Replace any remote E-stop switches with unreliable or intermittent contacts.
- Controller input: Verify the correct wiring and logic for the E-stop input in the MTU controller.
- Re-enable automatic mode: After confirming safety and restoring the circuit, clear the F28 alarm and return the generator to automatic operation.
