Monitoring during operation
4.1
Oil pressure, oil temperature
Lubricating oil pressure
CAUTION
Assuring lubricating oil pressure
Serious damage to engine or property can result from missing or insufficient
lubricating oil supply.
The lubricating oil pressure must be monitored during operation and the
necessary pressure assured at the oil inlet.
For monitoring the lubricating oil pressure, ABB Turbo Systems recommends installing a ma-
nometer "M". If the pressure is controlled electronically, the appropriate signals are to be trig-
gered at the warning and alarm values.

The permitted oil pressure ranges at measuring point M of the turbocharger are listed below.
