Operating Qc1002™
Starting Qc1002™
To start up the unit locally, proceed as
follows:
– Switch on the battery switch.
– Switch off circuit breaker Q1.1. This is not necessary
when a plant contactor is installed between Q1.1 and the
load.
– Put the starter switch S20 in position I (ON). Voltage is
applied to the Qc1002™ module.
– The unit can be started manually by pressing the START
button on the Qc1002™ module.
– The unit starts a preheating cycle which takes 12 seconds.
– After the preheating period, the unit will start. The starting
attempt will take maximum 12 seconds.
– Switch on circuit breaker Q1.1 in case no contactor is
installed.
To start up the unit from a remote location,
proceed as follows:
– Put the starter switch S20 in position I (ON). Voltage is
applied to the Qc1002™ module.
– The unit can be started from a remote location by pressing
the remote mode button on the Qc1002™ module.
– Switch on circuit breaker Q1.1.
– Put the remote start/stop switch in position start.
– The unit starts a preheating cycle which takes 12 seconds.
– After the preheating period, the unit will start. The starting
attempt will take maximum 12 seconds.
During operation Qc1002™
Following points should be carried out regularly:
– Check the engine gauges and the lamps for normal
readings.
– Check for leakage of oil, fuel or coolant.
– Avoid long low-load periods (< 30%). In this case, an
output drop and higher oil consumption of the engine
could occur.
– Check, by means of the generator gauges, that the voltage
between the phases is identical and that the rated current
in the third phase (L3) is not exceeded.
– When single-phase loads are connected to the generator
output terminals, keep all loads well-balanced.
If circuit breakers are activated during operation, switch off
the load and stop the generator. Check and, if necessary,
decrease the load.
Stopping Qc1002™
To stop the unit locally, proceed as follows:
– Switch off the load.
– Switch off circuit breaker Q1.1.
– Let the engine run for about 5 minutes.
– Stop the engine by using the STOP button on the
Qc1002™ module.
– Put the starter switch S20 in position O (OFF) to shut
down the voltage apply towards the Qc1002™ module.
– Lock the side doors and the door of the indicators and
control panel to avoid unauthorized access.
To stop the unit when the starter switch is in
position , proceed as follows:
– Switch off the load.
– Stop the engine by putting the remote start/stop switch in
position stop or by using the STOP button on the
Qc1002™ module. When the unit is stopped with the
STOP button in Remote Mode, it will automatically go to
Manual Mode.
– Put the starter switch S20 in position O (OFF) to shut
down the voltage apply towards the Qc1002™ module.
– Lock the side doors and the door of the indicators and
control panel to avoid unauthorized access.
Avoid to let the engine run out of fuel. If it
happened, priming will speed up the
starting.
The generator’s doors may only remain
opened for short periods during
operation, to carry out checks for
example.
