protective devices

Protection devices and emergency stop devices are designed as standard components for protection of the generator against trouble during operation. The LCD on the Digital Controller will inform the user when a fault has occurred.

When a major fault is detected, such as low oil pressure, high water temperature, and overspeed, the engine automatically shuts down. Check the display for the fault and correct the problem.

For minor faults, the engine will continue working. Stop the engine and remedy the cause of the problem. The Digital Controller will display the cause of the fault.

Before inspecting or troubleshooting the generator, press the OFF button on the Digital Controller. Place the main circuit breaker in the OFF position and allow sufficient time for adequate cooling.

After automatic shutdown, always inspect the generator and eliminate any problems that might have caused the shutdown before attempting to restart the generator.

When ready to restart, check and make sure that no alarms are shown in the Alarm List on the Digital Controller. Restart the generator as outlined in the Startup section of this manual.

Refer to the InteliVision 5™ Controller User's Guide for detailed information of faults and display information.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to the equipment and severe bodily harm, even death, please follow all lock-out safety procedures when performing maintenance.
