2.5.5
Alarms and shut down
In the event of malfunctioning this will be indicated by the
failure light, details will be shown on the display and the
engine will be shut down. There are three functions
guarded: oil pressure, coolant temperature and alternator
temperature.
Too high alternator temperature indicates the alternator
coolant to be blocked or the pump impeller to be
damaged.
All alarm switches are closed when no malfunction occurs.
A contact is cut in the event of an alarm. This means that
the generating set will not work when the alarm switches
are broken or there is a loose wire. The system therefore
is intrinsically safe. The panel will display details about the
alarm.
2.5.6
Control
The generating set can be operated by push buttons on
the panel on the alternator or by the remote control. By
pushing the START button the control system is activated
and will start the engine automatically. Pushing the STOP
button will stop the engine and the electrical system will be
deactivated.
2.5.7
Remote control
All wiring connections from the remote control to the board
are made by plug in connectors.
An intermediate communication cable is in the standard
supply. If necessary an optional longer 8 wire
communication cable can be connected if the standard
length does not suit the required distance. Numerous
remote control units can be put in parallel by using the
connectors on the back of the units. (Refer to installation
instructions)
2.5.8
Hour counter
The remote control offers several timer functions that
helps to schedule maintenance.
2.5.9
Load indicator
On the remote control the load will be indicated on the
display and by the LED-bar. The load is measured by a
current transformer on the alternator.
2.5.10 Fuel specification
The engine must only be used with diesel fuel oil which
conforms to the standards for use in modern diesel
engines. Fuel free from water and contaminants is of the
utmost importance.
2.5.11 Oil information
1
Specification:
The oil must be suitable for oil changes as specified in
the maintenance chapter. The Mitsubishi engine must
be run on heavy duty lubricating oil meeting the
requirements of API class CD, CF or CF_4.
It is very important to use the correct oil
specification. Very often local oil suppliers
recommend a higher class, because they
assume that a higher class is allowed. This is
not the case. One should not follow these
recommendations.
Using the wrong specification will cause high
oil consumption.
2
Oil viscosity:
We recommend a multigrade oil 15W40.
3
Oil capacity:
The content of the crankcase is as specified below:
W-SC6
W-SC10
Excluding oil filter:
2.4 l
3,6 l
Including oil filter:
2.9 l
4,1 l
Do not overfill with lubricating oil as this may have a
detrimental effect on engine performance
4
Oil pressure
Minimum at idle 49 Kpa (0,5 kgf/cm2 - 7psi).
Normal at 3000 rpm between 147 and 490 Kpa
(1,5 up to 5 kgf/cm2 - 21 up to 71 psi).
Minimum at 3000 rpm 98 Kpa (1,0 kgf/cm 2 - 14
psi).
