5 Monitoring during operation
5.1 Oil pressure, oil temperature
Lubricating oil pressure
CAUTION
Assuring lubricating oil pressure
Serious damage to the engine or property can result from a missing or insuf-
ficient lubricating oil supply.
u The lubricating oil pressure must be monitored during operation and the
necessary pressure assured at the oil inlet.
For monitoring the lubricating oil pressure, ABB Turbocharging recommends installing a
manometer"M". If the pressure is controlled electronically, the relevant signals should be
triggered at the warning and alarm values.

The permitted oil pressure ranges at measuring point M of the turbocharger are listed be-
low.
