INFORMATION
2.5.5 Alarms and shut down
In the event of malfunctioning this will be indicated by the
failure light and detail will be shown on the display the
engine will be shut down. There are three functions
guarded: oil pressure, coolant temperature and alternator
temperature. Exhaust temperature too high indicates the
alternator cooling water to be blocked. 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. Stopping the engine is
executed by the fuel valve solenoid that will shut off.
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 neces-
sary an optional longer 8 wire twisted cable can be
connected if the standard length does not suit the requi-
red 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 and
helps to schedule maintenance.
2.5.9 Load indicator
On the remote control the load will be indicated on the
display and by the LEDbar. The load is measured by
current transformers on the alternator.
2.5.10 Fuel specification
The engine must only be used with diesel fuel oil which
conforms the standards for use in modern diesel en-
gines. Fuel free from water and contaminants is of the ut-
most 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 CC or CD.
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 this
recommendations.
Using the wrong specification will cause
high oil consumption.
2 Oil viscosity:
We recommend a multigrade oil 10W40.
3 Oil capacity:
Excluding the oil filter the content of the crankcase is
3,6 l. Including the oil filter it is 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 98 Kpa (1 kgf/cm2/14psi)(1 bar).
• Normal at 1500 rpm ± 250 Kpa (2,5 kgf/cm2/ 35
psi) (2,5 bar).
2.5.12 Cooling liquid
The engine and alternator are cooled by cooling liquid.
The capacity of both systems depend on the capacity of
the radiator piping and other parts of the cooling system.
We recommend not using water but cooling liquid that is
marketed for the use in combustion engines. Cooling
liquid protects the engine against frost until minus 25° C.
Also it protects the engine block against corrosion.
Initially one can fill the engine via the filling cap on the
exhaust manifold. Fill up till the level is just below the
filling cap. Filling of the alternator cooling system and
additional filling of engine cooling system has to be done
via the expansion tanks. When the engine is on
temperature the liquid will expand and the redundant
liquid will be pressed into the expansion tank. This tank
has to be filled up till the mark. On the tank is an overflow
cap. When cooling liquid is not available clean fresh
water could be used with an additive of anti freeze. When
using water with anti freeze the right mixture has to be
calculated according to the information of the supplier of
the anti freeze. The cooling system is pressurised.
