Instrumentation
The instrument panels used are the main panel, the Flying Bridge (instrument panel for alt. control position) and
the auxiliary panel. In addition there is an extra alarm panel.
The instrumentation is also supplied separately in sets if Volvo Penta instrument panels are not used. These
sets include three smaller panels for starting, stopping and alarm functions.
Main panel
1. Engine coolant temperature (ECT) gauge.
2. Oil pressure gauge, engine.
3. Voltmeter. Displays the voltage in the starter
battery circuit.
4. Pressure switch for instrument lighting.
5. Key switch (start lock) with start and stop func-
tions and a built-in restart inhibitor (starter motor
protection).
The restart inhibitor prevents restarting unless
the key has first been returned to the stop posi-
tion (S).
6. Alarm panel with warning symbols (pos. 11–14).
7. Alarm (siren) warning for mechanical faults.
Sounds when lubricating oil pressure is too low
(engine), when coolant temperature is too high
or there is a loss of charge.
8. Pressure switch for testing alarm functions or ac-
knowledging alarms.
– No alarm: Alarm test (all warning lights are on
and the siren sounds).
– If the alarm sounds: Alarm acknowledge-
ment.*
9. Hours run meter. Displays the engine’s operating
time in hours and tenths of an hour.
10. Tachometer, engine speed. Multiply this value by
100 for revolutions per minute
*The siren stops but the warning lamps continue flashing until
the malfunction has been corrected. If a new alarm condition
occurs, the siren sounds again and the next warning lamp
starts to flash, and so on.
Alarm panel
This panel has four “windows”. If the acoustic alarm
sounds, one of the windows “11–13” starts to flash
(red) to show the cause of the alarm.
11. Warning lamp – high coolant temperature.
12. Warning lamp – low lubricating oil pressure, en-
gine.
13. Warning lamp – comes on if the charging current
from the generator stops.
14. Indication lamp – preheating on (starter ele-
ment).*
*Note: The TAMD63 and TAMD72 have no starter element.
