HRD Diesel Generator
498-1052
Operation
Starting
Local Operation
1. Perform the Pre-Operation Checks.
2. Check MCB and RCD are in the OFF positions.
3. Turn the DC ISolation Switch to the “ON” position.
4. Press the Red Stop/Reset button
once.
5. Press the Green Run/Start pushbutton
once
only and engine will pre-heat and the starter motor
will turn and the engine will crank.
If the engine fails to start within 10 seconds, the
control module will pause and attempt 3 cranks.
6. After Starting, allow the engine to warm up for
1 minute before setting the MCBs and RCDs to
the ON position and connecting any load to the
generator output.
Remote Operation
For remote starting the generator needs to be
prepared at the set:
1. Perform the Pre-Operation Checks.
2. Check MCB and RCD are in the ON positions.
3. Turn the DC ISolation Switch to the “ON” position.
4. Press the Red Stop/Reset button
once.
5. Ensure that the remote panel/timer is connected
to the terminal connections in the Output Terminal
pod.
6. Press the White Auto
button.
7. The generator will now start upon the Start signal
being received from the remote panel/timer.
CAUTION
Generator can now start automatically
If the engine fails to start after 3 attempts then inititate
fault
fi
nding to rectify the problem.
NOTICE
If the generator is not required switch it off and avoid
running with light or no load wherever possible. Also
see Maintenance Section.
Stopping
1. Switch off the electrical output and disconnect the
load from the generator’s output sockets.
2. Allow the generator to run off load for 2 minutes to
cool down.
3. Press the red stop/reset
button on the
DSE4510 moudle or if being operated remotely
the Stop signal will be transmitted to the DSE4510
4. The engine will then stop after the shutdown
process and cool down period is competed.
Shutdown Protections
The generator is
fi
tted with the following protection
devices that will shut down the generator in the event
of a fault. They are indicated on the engine control
module.
Charge Fail:
Operates if the battery is not charging,
this could be caused by parasitic drain (leaving engine
control module illuminated), generator inactivity, or
faulty alternator charging.
Low Oil Pressure:
This operates if the oil pressure
falls below a safe level. This can be caused by a
lack of oil, wrong type of oil or high temperature.
Check and top up the oil level as necessary. During
starting, the alarm is held off for 10 seconds to allow
the oil pressure to build up to normal running level.
The engine will not crank if there is false oil pressure
signal prior to starting.
Low Fuel Level:
The fuel gauge also incorporates
a low fuel shutdown facility. The set will give a
warning and then shut down when the level falls to
approximately 10-12% of its capacity, thus eliminating
the need to bleed the system at restart.
High Engine Temperature:
If the temperature is
out side the value programmed into the controller the
generator will close down.
