ENGINE FAULTS
The electronic unit overseeing management and control of all
operation of the engine is capable of recognising any malfunctions that
may occur, and of adopting strategies that will allow you to navigate in
full safety.
The event, signalled by light-up of the EDC MALFUNCTION indicator
on the on-board control panels, results in programmed limitation of
power whitin certain threeshold, set accordind to the severity of the
case.
In the case of temporary malfunctions the reduction in performance
will remain in force until the engine is stopped.
Fault in the accelerator electronic circuit
When the CENTRAL ELECTRONIC UNIT detects any fault, the
strategies specified in "Accelerated minimum idle speed" section
should be adopted, in order to proceed with emergency navigation.
Available operating modes are:
A. Accelerator lever “not responding”: revolution sets to 750 rpm to
allow slow navigation and maneuvering operating only on the
inverter, without accelerating.
B. Accelerator lever “partially responding”: revolution sets to 750
rpm. If you bring the accelerator to half way of its travel, the speed
progressively increases to 2000 rpm. If you bring back the lever,
speed will go rapidly back to 750 rpm.
NOTE: The “A” mode allows using higher speeds and managing
start/stop functions as detailed in ENGINE OPERATION FROM
RELAY BOX.
Always, observe accident prevention precautions detailed in
INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE.
WARNING!
The engine electronic unit may adopt safety strategies any
time during navigation, whenever any risk condition for the
engine is detected.
When such conditions arise, proceed with utmost care,
and check that everyone on board is holding on securely.
WARNING!
Engine operation from “Relay box” disables bridge controls;
therefore from the bridge the only way to stop the
engine is to act on the inverter disconnect lever.
