Operator’s Manual Marine
generators sets
In case of not install Parallel kit, the genset can be started and stopped manually or by CAN-
bus. To operate it manually, follow the instructions below. On the other hand, if it is used CAN-bus,
follow the instructions of the installed controller.
START THE GENSET
1.
Connect the battery switches
It is necessary to connect positive (+) and negative (-) cables at the same time to assure the
correct operation of the genset.
2.
Energize cranking relay (NO
–
Normal Open type) to power the starter motor
Apply a voltage of 24 VDC to PIN 7 of the ECU cabinet connector (cranking signal). This signal
has to be maintained until the genset achieves 25% of nominal speed. On top of that, it has not
exceeded 8 seconds of relay energizing.
*
If the genset does not start after 3 crank attempts, take into account that
over cranking can cause
water ingestion. So, do not try to restart the genset and identify the crank fault cause.
STOP THE GENSET
1.
Energize ECU power relay (NC
–
Normal Close type) to stop powering the ECU.
Consequently, the genset will stop.
Apply a voltage of 24 VDC to PIN 8 of the ECU cabinet connector (ECU power signal). This
signal has to be maintained until the genset stops. On top of that, it has not exceeded 10 seconds of
relay energizing
.
If any occurs, see XX alarm List to identify it.
8.2. Alarm list
This genset has four different forms to diagnose any failure or malfunction:
1. Fault indicator lamp
2. Diagnostic button and fault indicator lamp
3. ECU alarm list on the controller (see Parallel kit manual, if installed)
4. Service tool (contact nearest Solé dealer)
Fault indicator lamp
The engine regulator possesses numerous protection functions for the engine - depending on
the available measuring points or sensors. Depending on the seriousness of the recognized fault, the
engine may run on in reduced mode (limp home), whereby the fault indicator lamp is continuously lit,
or the engine is switched off, whereby the fault indicator lamp flashes.
