-If the green warning light “RUN” [fig. 2, ref. 2] is lit up it
means the generator is running and no operating fault has
been detected.
-If the red warning light “BATT.” [fig. 2, ref. 3] illuminates
it means the battery charger alternator is faulty.
-If the red warning light “OIL” [fig. 2, ref. 4] illuminates it
means engine oil pressure is too low.
-If the red warning light “ °C “ illuminates it means the
temperature of the cooling liquid or the water in the heat
exchangers is too high.
-If the red warning light “ °C “ illuminates it means the
temperature of the alternator coils is too high.
The control panel also contains:
-a two-pole circuit breaker [fig. 2, ref. 7] that interrupts the
current in the event of an overload or short circuit;
-a circuit breaker switch [fig. 2, ref.8] to protect the low
voltage electrical circuit from short circuits;
-an circuit breaker [fig. 2, ref.9] to protect the battery
charger alternator;
-an hour meter [fig. 2, ref.10];
-a generator start or stop button [fig. 2, ref.11].
The control panel can be connected [fig. 2, ref.12] to the
remote control panel [fig. 3, ref. 1 - 5] available as an
optional accessory by Mase
.
There are two different models of remote control panel
illustrated in fig. 3.
The more basic model has a start and stop button [fig. 3,
ref. 3], a green warning light [fig. 3, ref. 2] that indicates
the generator is on if it is lit up and a red warning light [fig.
3, ref. 4] that comes on to show the generator has
switched off because of an operating fault.
The second version of the remote control panel [fig. 3, ref.
5] not only has the start and stop button and the warning
lights but also an instrument that shows engine oil
pressure [fig. 3, ref. 7], an instrument that shows cooling
liquid temperature [fig. 3, ref. 6], a volt meter that shows
battery voltage [fig. 3, ref. 8] and an hour meter [fig. 3, ref.
9].
When the remote control panel is switched on it is not
possible to start up the generator from the local panel.
Before performing maintenance
work on the generator, disconnect the remote control
panel.
3. USING THE GENERATOR
3.1 Preliminary checks
When the generator is first started or if any maintenance
has been carried out, always check that:
- The oil is at the correct level on the dipstick [fig. 4, ref.
1]: see Table A ‘Recommended Oils’ fig. 4.
- The generator has been firmly bolted down at all points
- All electrical equipment has been disconnected in
order to prevent the generator from being started up while
it is wired to electrical equipment.
- The water and fuel pipes are connected correctly.
- The generator has been correctly wired and there are
no connections in a poor condition.
- The sea cock is open [fig. 5, ref. 2]
- The raw water circuit from the pump to the valve has
been filled manually if a check valve has been fitted on the
sea water intake (as recommended) [fig. 5, ref. 1].
3.2 Bleeding the air from the supply system
If there are air bubbles inside the supply system they are
caused by engine malfunctions or the inability to reach
the nominal rpm. Air may enter the inside of the supply
circuit via a non-airtight joint (pipes, filters, tank) or if the
fuel inside the tank is at minimum. To eliminate the air
bubbles, first of all eliminate the cause and carry out the
following operations:
1- Loosen the bleed screw on the fuel filter [fig. 6, ref. 2]
(also consult the engine use and maintenance manual).
2- Adjust the AC fuel pump lever manually [fig. 6, ref. 1]
until all the air in the supply system has been released
through the bleed screw.
3- Tighten up the bleed screw [fig. 6, ref. 2] and start up
the engine.
4- Repeat the operations described above if engine
operation is still irregular.
3.3 Start-up
Before starting up the generator, make sure the preliminary
checks described in paragraph 3.1 have been carried out.
Press the START button on the control panel [fig. 2, ref.
11] to start up the generator. and release it only after the
generator has started up. Do not keep it pressed for more
than 15 seconds for each attempt and pause at least 15
seconds between attempts. The warning lights of the
engine protection module will come on for a few seconds
[fig. 2, ref. 1] but if there are no engine or generator faults
only the green RUN warning light [fig. 2, ref. 2] will remain
on to show that the generator has started up and opera-
tion is regular.
Repeated unsuccessful attempts
to start up the generator can cause an excessive
amount of water to accumulate in the discharge
system and may seriously damage the engine.
