6.6 MANUAL MODE
NOTE: If a digital input configured to panel lock is active, changing module modes will
not be possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock.
Activate Manual mode be pressing the pushbutton. An LED indicator beside the button confirms
this action.
Manual mode allows the operator to start and stop the set manually, and if required change the state
of the load switching devices.
6.6.1 WAITING IN MANUAL MODE
When in manual mode, the set will not start automatically.
To begin the starting sequence, press the
button.
6.6.2 STARTING SEQUENCE
NOTE: There is no start delay in this mode of operation.
The fuel relay is energised and the engine is cranked.
NOTE: If the unit has been configured for CAN, compatible ECU’s will receive the start
command via CAN.
If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt then the starter motor is disengaged for the crank
rest duration after which the next start attempt is made. Should this sequence continue beyond the set
number of attempts, the start sequence will be terminated and the display shows Fail to Start.
When the engine fires, the starter motor is disengaged. Speed detection is factory configured to be
derived from the main alternator output frequency but can additionally be measured from a Magnetic
Pickup mounted on the flywheel (Selected by PC using the 8600 series configuration software).
Additionally, rising oil pressure or charge alternator voltage can be used to disconnect the starter
motor (but cannot detect underspeed or overspeed).
NOTE: If the unit has been configured for CAN, speed sensing is via CAN.
After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On timer activates, allowing Oil Pressure, High
Engine Temperature, Under-speed, Charge Fail and any delayed Auxiliary fault inputs to stabilise
without triggering the fault.
