GAS engine
The setpoint Fuel Solenoid (page 164) has to be switched to the Gas position.
After the command for start is issued (pressing Start button in MAN mode, auto start condition is fulfilled in
AUTO mode or controller is switched to TEST mode), outputs PRESTART (PAGE 506) and GLOW PLUGS
(PAGE 500) are energized for time period given by the setpoints Prestart Time (page 166) and Glow Plugs Time
(page 168).
After Prestart Time (page 166) and Glow Plugs Time (page 168), the starter of engine is activated by
energizing the output STARTER (PAGE 510).
When the engine speed exceeds 30RPM, the outputs FUEL SOLENOID (PAGE 493) and IGNITION (PAGE 503)
are energized.
When the engine speed exceeds value of Starting RPM (page 166), the starter of engine is de-energized, the
engine is considered as started and the Idle period will follow.
IMPORTANT: Additional running engine indications (page 103) signals are not evaluated during the
start of a gas engine. The Pickup must be used in any case!
The maximum duration that the output STARTER (PAGE 510) is energized is determined by the setpoint
Maximum Cranking Time (page 165). If the engine does not start within this period, outputs STARTER (PAGE
510) and FUEL SOLENOID (PAGE 493) are de-energized and a pause with length determined by Cranking Fail
Pause (page 165) will follow. PRESTART (PAGE 506), GLOW PLUGS (PAGE 500) and IGNITION (PAGE 503)
outputs are active during the pause. After the pause has elapsed, the next start attempt is executed. The
number of start attempts is given by the setpoint Cranking Attempts (page 165).
Once the engine is started, the Idle period follows. The binary output IDLE/NOMINAL (PAGE 503) remains
inactive (as it was during the start). The idle period duration is adjusted by the setpoint Idle Time (page 169).
After the idle period has finished, the output IDLE/NOMINAL (PAGE 503) is activated and the start-up
sequence is finished. The Stabilization (page 81) phase follows.
