5.5.3
ENGINE RUNNING
NOTE: The load transfer signal remains inactive until the Oil Pressure has risen. This
prevents excessive wear on the engine.
Once the engine is running and all starting timers have expired, the animated
Engine Running
icon
is displayed.
The generator is placed on load if configured to do so.
If all start requests are removed, the
stopping sequence
begins.
5.5.4
STOPPING SEQUENCE
The
Return Delay
timer operates to ensure that the starting request has been permanently removed
and isn’t just a short term removal. Should another start request be made during the cooling down
period, the set returns on load.
If there are no starting requests at the end of the
Return Delay
timer, the load is removed from the
generator to the mains supply and the
cooling
timer is initiated.
The
Cooling Down
timer allows the set to run off load and cool sufficiently before being stopped. This
is particularly important where turbo chargers are fitted to the engine.
After the
Cooling Down
timer has expired, the set is stopped.
