1.4 Safety standards
- Read all the information contained in this manual and in
the installation manual carefully; it is essential for the
correct installation and use of the generator and enables
appropriate action to be quickly taken if it is required.
- Do not allow unauthorized persons to use the generator
and do not allow anyone to use the generator without
adequate training.
- Prevent children or animals from approaching the gen-
erator while it is in operation.
- Do not approach the generator or remote control panel
if your hands or any other part of your body is wet as the
generator can be a source of electric shocks if it is
incorrectly used.
- Switch off and lock out the engine before carrying out
checks on the generator; only expert personnel are
authorized to check the generator whilst it is operating.
- Do not breath the combustion fumes as they contain
harmful substances.
If oil or fuel leaks occur, clean
them thoroughly in order not create a fire hazard.
Do not use water to put out fires:
use extinguishers.
2. GENERATOR DESCRIPTION
2.1 Introduction
The IS13.5, 18.5, and 23 series generators have been
designed for easy installation on boats.
The soundproof structure consists of panels in marine
aluminium. These panels provide easy access to the
engine and the alternator for maintenance and inspec-
tions while, at the same time, considerably reducing
sound levels.
The direct-injection 4-stroke diesel engine by Yanmar is
reliable and efficient. The 4-pole synchronous alternator
has no brushes and has an electronic voltage adjuster
(SR7) that guarantees fluctuations from nominal voltage
are no greater than ± 5%. The alternator’s surge capacity
makes the generator ideal for supplying the electric
motors of conditioners, desalination units, compressors,
etc.
IS13.5,18.5 and 23 generators have a local control panel
[fig.1 ref.9] on which the controls and control instruments
are located.
2.2 Generator composition
The generator consists of:
- a sound shield [fig.1 ref.10];
- an engine [fig.1 ref.11];
- an alternator unit [fig.1 ref.12];
- a water - water exchanger [fig.1 ref. 13];
- an air water - exchanger [fig.1 ref.14];
- a support base [fig.1 ref.15];
2.3 Cooling system
The generator engine is cooled by a closed circuit raw sea
water heat exchanger.
The exchanger is in cupronickel and has been specially
designed by Mase to enable the engine to be used in
marine applications.
When installing it, a wet exhaust system must be
installed to discharg the combustion fumes and the water
that has been used for cooling.
2.4 Control panel
A control panel is located on the generator to enable
checks to be made and the generator to be started and
stopped. An engine overload protection module [fig. 2, ref.
1] manages generator overload protection, cuts out the
engine in the event of a fault, and sends an alarm signal
by means of the warning lights.
