ACTION REQUIRED
Important Safety Information Work safely. Most accidents that involve product operation, maintenance, and repair are caused by failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations before an accident occurs. A person must be alert to potential hazards. This person should also have the necessary training, skills, and tools in order to perform these functions properly. Safety precautions and warnings are provided in this instruction, on the product, and in this product's Operation and Maintenance Manual (OMM). If these hazard warnings are not heeded, bodily injury or death could occur to you or to other persons. Caterpillar cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard. Therefore, the warnings in this publication, the warnings that are on the product, and the warnings that are in the OMM are not all inclusive. If a tool, a procedure, a work method, or operating technique that is not recommended by Caterpillar is used, the user must ensure that it is safe for the user and for other people to use. The user should ensure that the product will not be damaged or the product will be made unsafe by the operation, lubrication, maintenance, or the repair procedures that are used. WARNING: The generator set must be isolated electrically before and while the rework is performed. Follow the proper lockout tag out procedures to protect against the unexpected energizing or startup of the generator set. Failure to follow these warnings could result in injury to personnel during service. Attach a "Do Not Operate" warning tag to the machine start switch or the controls before you perform any service to the machine. REWORK ACTION REQUIRED Certain 3928122 DEIF Controllers will need to be removed and replaced. The replacement controller will need to be configured with a batch file with a .usw extension using DEIF Utility Software. The Utility Software can be downloaded directly from DEIF 1. Go to www.deif.com 2. Select Documentation & Software 3. Select Software download Service Letter -- Preview Page 3 of 11 https://pubtool.cat.com/pubtool/SlCreateAction.do-printpreview=yes 3/12/2015 4. In the dropdown menu, select Multi-line 2 utility software v.3.x 5. Fill in your e-mail address and click "Submit" You will now receive an e-mail containing a link. Click the link and follow the instructions. The software is now installed on your computer. Installation of USB drivers On Windows Vista machines the USB drivers are installed automatically. For Windows XP machines follow the procedure below. When you connect the controller, Windows XP will launch two "Hardware Wizards". Two drivers are installed, let Windows execute both "Found new Hardware Wizard". Let the Hardware Wizard install the software automatically by choosing the "Recommended" option. If the "Advanced" option is chosen, the needed files are available from the USW3 installation folder (default: C:Program FilesDEIFUSW3) in the "USB driver files/source PreInstaller" folder. Please select "Continue Anyway" if a "Hardware Installation" warning appears during the installation. Image 1 The .usw batch file can either be downloaded from the faulty controller by clicking the "Write/Read icon" (Image 1.12.1 in the rework procedure) and selecting "Read from device" If that is not possible then save the file from another similar unit. If both methods are not successful request a copy of the file by contacting product service engineer Jo Liang at Liang_Jo@cat.com. Refer to the attached Rework Procedure. |
