Westerbeke 6.5 MCG - SOFTWARE DIAGNOSTICS; ENGINE WARNINGS RUN STATE

SOFTWARE DIAGNOSTICS
ENGINE WARNINGS RUN STATE: DC circuit breaker on, generator successfully started
and running.
In the RUN state, all warnings are logged and a light will be illuminated on the control panel. The light(s) will go out when the
warning condition
is no longer present. Warnings will be indicated as follows:
Oil Pressure warnings illuminate the OIL PRESSURE light.
Engine Coolant Temperature warnings illuminate the ENGINE TEMP light.
Exhaust Temperature High illuminates the EXHAUST TEMP light.
External Alarm warning illuminates the EXT ALARM light.
Overspeed and Underspeed warnings illuminate the pair of SPEED lights.
All other warnings illuminate the pair
of CHECK ENGINE lights.
