Automatic Fire Ext.
System
Utilizes an instrument
display unit (gauge) that
provides the operator
with a system status of
a charged or uncharged
condition by an audible
alarm. With the ignition
switch on and no light
indicates that the system
has been discharged.
If the system should discharge the ignition system will be
instantaneously interrupted. Should this occur shut down
the engine and any electrical system components along
with closing any open hatches.
If a
fi re has started in the engine compartment fi nd the
system manual cable assembly located in the cockpit.
Remove the safety pin from the
“Fire T Handle” and pull
fi rmly
on the “Fire” handle which will
activate the
fi re extinguisher unit
in the engine compartment. A
loud “rushing air” sound may be
heard. Complete discharge will
take several seconds. Keep the
compartment closed for a period
of time suf
fi cient to permit the
agent to soak all areas of the
protected space. This allows hot
metals and fuel time to cool. Refer to the manufacturer’s
owner’s manual for additional information.
High Water Alarm
Using a bilge float sensor this
component determines a high water
bilge situation and sends a signal to
the dash alarm. This may indicate
that a large amount of water has
entered the hull or there is a leak in
the engine water circulation system
and the bilge pump cannot evacuate water overboard fast
enough or has failed to operate. Periodically, activate the
bilge pump manually to check operation.
Temperature Readout-Display Panel
The temperature display monitors the cooling system of
the engine. A sudden increase in the temperature could be a
sign that the engine cooling system is malfunctioning. Shut
down the engine immediately and investigate the problem.
Consult your engine manual for allowable limits.
Voltage Readout-Display Panel
The voltage display indicates the battery condition as well
as the alternator performance. Normal voltage is between
12.0 and 15.0 volts. Readings outside of this range may
indicate a charging system or battery problem.
Speed Readout-Display Panel
The speed display indicates kilometers per hour. Remember
that there is a slight amount of error in speed readings.
Oil Pressure Readout-Display Panel
The oil pressure display indicates the pressure of the
oil inside the engine lubrication system. A drop in oil
pressure may be an indication of a low oil situation or a
leak. Operation of the engines with low oil pressure could
lead to engine damage. Should a low oil pressure situation
develop shut down the engine immediately and investigate
the problem. Refer to the Volvo engine operation manual
for more information or contact your closest Regal yacht
dealer.
