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.
– Put the remote start/stop switch in position start.
– The unit will start.
In cold conditions the unit might not start from the
first attempt. The controller will take 3 start
attempts.
4.2.2 During operation
Regularly carry out following checks:
– Check the analogue meters (P1-P4) and the
controller display for normal readings.
– Check for leakage of oil, fuel or coolant.
– Check, by means of the generator gauges, that the
voltage between the phases is identical and that
the rated current is not exceeded.
– When single-phase loads are connected to the
generator output terminals, keep all loads well-
balanced.
– If circuit breakers have tripped during operation,
switch off the load and stop the generator. Check
and, if necessary, decrease the load.
4.2.3 Stopping
To stop the unit locally, proceed as follows:
– Switch off the load.
– Switch off circuit breaker Q1.
– 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 all doors 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 all doors to avoid unauthorized access.
Avoid to let the engine run out of
fuel. If it happened, priming will
speed up the starting.
Avoid long low-load periods
(< 30%). In this case, an output
drop and higher oil consumption of
the engine could occur. Refer to
‘Preventing low loads’.
The generator’s doors may only
remain opened for short periods
during operation, to carry out
checks for example.
