SAFETY
INFORMATION
SAFETY INFORMATION:
Daily checklist
Make a habit of checking the genset visually before operating (before the engine is started) and
after operating (after the engine has been stopped). This will help you to quickly detect fuel, coolant
or oil leaks and spot anything else unusual that has happened or is about to happen.
Refuelling
When refueling, there is a danger of fire and explosion. Do not smoke near the genset at all times.
The engine must be stopped before refueling.
Do not overfill the tank as some vacant space is necessary for the proper operation of the engine.
Do remember to close the fuel tank filler cap fully.
Only use the clean fuel recommended in the Instruction Manual. The wrong grade of fuel can cause
operating problems or cause the engine to stop. On a diesel engine, poor quality fuel may cause the
fuel injection pump to seize and the engine to overspeed with a resultant risk of damage to the
engine and personal injury.
Carbon monoxide poisoning
Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area. If operating the engine in an enclosed space,
ensure that there is proper ventilation in order to remove exhaust gases and crankcase ventilation
emissions from the working area.
Operation
The genset must not be run in areas that contain explosive materials or gases. There are a number
of electrical and mechanical components on the genset which may cause sparking, thus dangerous
in an explosive atmosphere.
A running genset has numerous points that can pose danger to user. Be aware that the loose
clothing, hair, fingers or even a dropped tool may catch in the rotating parts of the engine and cause
serious personal injury.
Please run the genset with all the supplied guards that prevent the user from coming in contact with
hot and moving parts.
Starting authorization
The user must ensure that the genset cannot be used by unauthorized persons. The genset room
should be locked such that only the trained and authorized persons can approach the genset.
The Instruction Manual contains instructions on how to carry out general maintenance and service
operations safely and correctly. Read and understand the instructions carefully before starting work.
Service literature covering more complicated operations is available from your KOEL dealer.
SERVICE
Never carry out any work on the engine if you are unsure of how it should be done. Contact your
KOEL dealer who will be glad to offer assistance.
KIRLOSKAR OIL ENGINE LIMITED
Stop the engine before opening or removing engine covers. Unless otherwise specified, all
maintenance and service must be carried out with the engine stopped.
To prevent accidental starting, remove the ignition key, turn off the power supply to the engine at the
main switches and lock them in the OFF position before starting work. Put up a warning sign in the
control position that work on the engine is being carried out. Approaching or working on an engine
that is running is a safety risk. Loose clothing, hair, fingers or a dropped tool may catch in the

INSTALLATION
Guidelines for Installation:
? Engine inlet air must be clean and as cool as possible. Both these conditions would drastically
effect the engine life as well as the performance.
? Normally, the inlet can be taken from the area surrounding the installation site. However, in some
cases the condition of the air surrounding the machine may require ducting the air from outside
or from another room.
? When it does become necessary to duct air in, the air filter should remain mounted to the engine
as opposed to a remote mounting (such as on a roof or in another room). This will eliminate the
possibility of dirt leaking through the duct work upstream of the air filter.
? Ensure that hot air is positively discharged from the building by fitting a flexible
connection between the radiator and the duct.
? The size of the openings should be calculated to ensure that excessive restriction is not imposed
on the flow of cooling air. Openings should at least be as big as the radiator core area but, as a
guide, an area on 150% of the core area of the radiator should be selected.
? For weather protection, louvers should be fitted to the intake and exhaust openings. These can
be either of the fixed or movable type.
? The circuit breaker position can vary according to the requirements of the installation. It may be
mounted remote from the genset.
? The control panel could be mounted on the wall.
? The power cables may be installed from bottom through ducts or floor trenches depending on
cable routing to the genset room and terminal points at the generator.
? Openings should be provided behind the alternator for incoming cold air and directly in front of
the radiator for outgoing hot air. The cold air first passes over the alternator, then the engine,
picking up radiant heat as it passes. It then passes through the radiator and is discharged
through a duct to the outside of the genset room.
? A temperature rise of 5 to 15 Deg C (9 to 27 Deg F) in the cooling air can be expected at full
load.
SERVICE
? Doors must be sized to allow access in and out for the complete generator set and major
accessories. Air inlet and outlet vents can often be made removable till the floor level to provide
easy access.
KIRLOSKAR OIL ENGINE LIMITED
? For acoustic enclosure, ensure that the openings provided for fresh air inlet and outlet are not
blocked.
? Manually operated movable louvers may be acceptable in some cases, but they are not
acceptable for automatic standby units.
? Radiator air should not be depended on to open the louver vanes.
16
INSTALLATION:
The procedure is listed for your information only. The task of installation of a genset is
expected to done by qualified, trained and competent personnel who are experienced
in the job. Please contact your local KOEL dealer or their representatives for advice
regarding the installation.
The task of the genset installation involves moving of heavy objects and use of
hazardous materials. Extreme care has to be taken to ensure safety during the
operation. Serious injury or even death can occur due to carelessness during the
genset installation.
? The genset is transported to the site in a specially designed packing case that protects
the contents from shock, weather and offers security during transit.
? Once unloaded on the site from the transport, the genset must remain inside packing
case till the last possible moment to prevent damage during handling etc.
? In case the genset is not installed immediately, ensure that the intact packing case is
protected from weather, dust and vermin during storage.
? The packing case should be opened carefully using the appropriate tools. Take care as
to not to hammer or poke the packing case as it might inadvertently damage the
internal contents.
? Apart from the genset, the packing case would also contain the documents, manuals,
tools, spare parts, accessories etc. - so please look out for these and tally them
against the packing list.
? The genset would be covered with a weather and dust protecting polythene sheet
that must be carefully removed from all the components.
? The genset’s openings such as the exhaust and air intake points would be sealed to
avoid ingress of debris - these must remain in place until the other matching systems
like exhaust pipe or the air cleaner are ready to be fitted.
? The rotating parts of the machine may be secured to prevent unintended movement
during transportation - all of these securing devices should be removed before
commissioning.
? The genset and the other heavy parts of the package would be bolted to the base of
the packing case - ensure that all such fasteners have been removed before moving te
genset out of the case.
? The genset should be carefully unloaded and shifted using appropriate devices such
as a crane or a forklift truck.

CAUTION
KIRLOSKAR OIL ENGINE LIMITED
? Be sure that the Genset will be operated in a well ventilated area with all exhaust
fumes are piped away.
? Before connecting batteries, ensure that the control panel is switched off.
? Prolonged exposure to the noise levels of a diesel engine can impair hearing unless
proper ear protection is worn.
18
? Before any attempt is made to operate the machine, be sure that engine and alternator
are properly earthed.
? Local and national regulations for the grounding of gensets should be adhered to as
well as those regulations which describe the methods of connection and minimum
sizes of grounding conductors based on the size of the load cables.
Important
? Adequate grounding of the genset is necessary all types of gensets to prevent the
possibility of injury or death in the event of electrical fault.
? When filling the fuel tank, do not smoke or use an open flame in the vicinity. Also the
tank should never be filled when the Genset is operating or while the engine is hot.
Fuel spilt on the genset could ignited easily.
? To avoid an accidental start of the engine, always disconnect the battery when
performing major operations.
? The negative pole of the battery system earthed. Hence the negative connection
should be disconnected first and reconnected last.
? The cover of the control panel should not be removed while the genset is in operation.
The cover, when removed, exposes live electrical connections. Maintenance on the
control panel should only be carried out by a qualified and trained technician.
Important
Always shut down the Genset and switch off circuit breaker prior to connecting or
disconnecting, loads cables. Restart only when a sound connection has been made.
INITIAL START-UP
The following procedure should be used to make initial start-up of the Genset.
These steps are critical and must be followed closely to avoid complications in
operating the Genset.
? Ensure that the machine is on a level surface so that correct volumes of liquids
(oil, fuel etc.) can be added.

charged.
KIRLOSKAR OIL ENGINE LIMITED
? Remove any loose items or debris in the vicinity of the genset that may inhibit
operation or could cause injury.
? The following procedure should be used when starting the Generator for the first time
or when it has been out of service for a time for maintenance purposes.
19
? Prime the fuel system using the hand priming pump and bleed entrapped air
from the fuel filter – see engine manual for details.
? Confirm all the control MCB's are ON. Turn the Key switch to Position ''ON'' engine
control system will be switched on.
? In the manual mode of operation, carefully crank the engine. In case the engine does
not start in the first attempt, please allow an interval of approximately 10 Seconds
between the second cranking attempt.
? In case the engine does not start even after three cranking attempts, please
investigate the cause of the failure to start and rectify.
? After the engine has been started check for any abnormal noise or vibration.
? Check the control panel for indications of abnormal operation, in particular above
normal engine temperature or below normal oil pressure.
? Immediately after the engine reaching the full operating speed, the AC voltmeter
should be checked to ensure that the voltage has reached the correct operating level
on all the phases.
? The AC voltage is factory set on the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) inside the
alternator and needs no further adjustment. If the voltage is incorrect, the adjustment
should only be carried out by a trained personnel.
? Voltage adjustment is done by varying the setting of a potentiometer on the AVR fitted
inside the alternator terminal box.
? The frequency of the output voltage should also be checked on the panel meter. The
frequency without the genset being loaded is approximately 52 Hz. for 50 Hz gensets
and approximately 62.4 Hz for 60 Hz gensets.
? When the generator is producing voltage, check the phase rotation of the generator by
connecting a Phase Rotation Meter to the terminals on the generator side of the circuit
breaker. (Caution: DO NOT close the circuit breaker to the load). This check should
be carried out by a qualified technician and the result noted for use later if the genset
is to be connected to an existing system.
? After the voltage and frequency checks have been made, shut the machine down by
operating the appropriate stop switch on the genset control panel.
? Restart the engine and check all the safety controls like Low Oil Pressure, High
Coolant Temperature, Low Fuel Level etc. by shorting across the appropriate switch
terminals. Depending on the logic of the panel, the engine should trip and/or create an
SERVICE
alarm condition.
IMPORTANT
Always shut the genset down prior to connecting, or disconnecting, load cables. Only restart

? Starter supply will be disconnected automatically by the controller after getting supply
from AC alternator or after the oil pressure switch has opened.
? Once the engine starts, the Lube Oil Pressure gauge will show a healthy reading.
? The “Charge Failure” lamp which lights before the engine starts is extinguished once
the battery charging alternator starts generating the output current to charge the
battery. This charging activity can be seen on the DC ammeter and the DC Voltmeter
(if provided).
?
? If the weather is cold, run the genset without load for at least 2-4 minutes to warm up
he engine.
? After the engine warms up, the genset can be connected to the load by closing the
SERVICE
ouput MCB/MCCB.
? After a few minutes of operation, the Coolant Temperature gauge shows an indication.
? The Voltmeter Selector Switch could be used to view the phase to phase or phase to
neutral voltage readings.
? The AC ammeter would show the load current depending upon the connected load.
? The Ammeter Selector Switch could be used to view the currents of the three phases.
21
? If the genset is normal weather, the genset may loaded immediately by closing the
Alternator Circuit Breaker.
? However, the maximum step load that can be accepted is dependent on the operating
temperature of the Genset.
? With the Genset cold (less than 20 degrees C / 68 degrees F) a maximum step load of
50 % of the full rated output can be applied. The full load can be applied after the
engine achieves working temperature.
? The above guidelines are only indicative of the genset’s performance. Please do
consult KOEL or the local representatives for the solution as per the local site
conditions.

KIRLOSKAR OIL ENGINE LIMITED
ENGINE
The engine of the generating set is of proven reliability and is specifically designed to operate in
conjunction with an alternator. The engine is of the heavy-duty industrial type, water cooled, 4-
stroke cycle, compression ignition and fitted with all accessories necessary to provide a reliable
power supply.
29
COOLING OF ENGINE AND ALTERNATOR
The engine cooling system comprises of a radiator, a high capacity pusher fan and a thermostat.
The radiator is used to transfer the heat from the engine to the atmosphere. The fan draws the cool
air through the radiator to help this transfer. The alternator is ventilated by an inbuilt fan.
ENGINE GOVERNOR
The primary function of the governor system is to maintain engine speed in relation to varying load
requirements. This is accomplished by the governor that senses the engine speed and maintains a
constant speed.
In case the speed drops due to an increase in the load, the governor would deliver more fuel flow to
the engine, thus maintaining the engine speed.
The same principle is applied when the load decreases. As the load is reduced, the speed
increases, and the governor delivers less fuel to maintain the rated speed.
ALTERNATOR
The genset is supplied with a robust and efficient Brushless excitation type alternator that eliminates
most of the maintenance.
The alternator output is controlled by an inbuilt Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR). This device
allows quick building up of the output during start and keeps the output voltage within a set limit
during operation.
To suit the exact site requirements, most of the three- phase alternators have provision to vary the
connections of the internal coils and deliver a variety of voltages up to 480 Volts AC.
The genset alternator may also be of the Single phase output type. These units supply the output
through two or three lead connection offering a variety of voltages from 120-250 Volts AC.
The standard genset alternator is rated for 50 Hz output. See Alternator Section for further details of
the available connections.
SYSTEM PROTECTION
An important function of the control system is to protect the engine against faults such as high
SERVICE
temperature, low oil pressure, over speed etc. To prevent damage to the starter motor and deep
discharge of the starting battery, a crank limiting circuit is included on all automatic start sets.
A detailed explanation of these systems is included later in the manual.
KIRLOSKAR OIL ENGINE LIMITED

The stop (or fuel) solenoid is used to cut off the fuel supply and thus stop the engine during normal
stops and during abnormal conditions. During the normal condition, the genset is stopped as it is no
longer required. A shutdown during an abnormal condition could be due to detection of an unsafe
condition – here the genset is shutdown to prevent damage to the engine, the alternator or the load.
SELECTION FORMULA
KVA / KW Rating:
The rating of the alternator is either expressed in KVA (Kilo-Volt- Ampere) or KW (Kilo Watt). The
following formulae show the relation between KVA and KW for single phase and three phase
alternators.

INPUT HORSE POWER REQUIREMENT
The engine used for your genset is selected on the basis of the power requirements.
Load Calculations
The name plate on the engine mentions the horse power (HP) that can be delivered at the Mean
Sea Level (MSL) assuming the Normal Temperature and Pressure (NTP) conditions.
However, the engine may deliver less power than the listed amount due to the various site
conditions. This is known as the Power Loss or Deration due to the site conditions.
For details of the Deration due to site conditions, please consult your genset OEM or service dealer.
Conditions that de-rate the engines are:
o
? Ambient temperature greater than 27 C
? Altitude beyond 150 meters above sea level
? Humidity in excess of 60%
? A small reduction in the rated HP is caused by the power absorbed by the
radiator fan (in case of liquid cooled engines). This loss of power is mentioned in the
engine specifications of your genset.
GENSET DIMENSIONS
The mentioned dimensions are meant only for guidance. The actual figures may differ due to
continuous process of development. Please confirm the exact size with your genset OEM or the

LOCATION OF GENSET
Selecting a location for the genset is a very important part of any installation procedure.
? Always locate the genset in an area that would provide adequate ventilation and physical
protection for the unit.
? To ease the maintenance and inspection, place the genset such that movement around the
machine is easily possible.
? Generally, a space of 1.0 to 2.0 meters is required all around the genset for easy access.
? The location should be clean, dry and have good drainage capabilities.
In case the location is outdoors, the genset should be fitted with a weatherproof enclosure.
SERVICE
? Ensure the space required to undertake major overhaul or service operations where
large components and the assemblies may have to be replaced.
Ensure a high degree of cleanliness as the dust and fumes could lead to a clogged radiator

and the consequential engine damage.
? Refer to Figure 2 for a plan of typical geset room.

FOUNDATION
A reinforced concrete pad makes the best foundation. A pad with sufficient mass in proportion to the
size of the genset will provide the rigid support necessary to minimize deflection and vibration.
Typically, this should be 150 mm to 200 mm deep and have a mass at least equal to that of the
genset.
The foundation may be located on soil, structural steel, building floors etc., provided the total weight
of the foundation and genset package does not exceed the permitted bearing load of the support.
The bearing loads of structural steel can be obtained from Engineering Handbooks while the local
building codes would provide the permitted bearing loads for different types of soil.
A correctly designed foundation is important to a good genset installation. The absence of an
adequately foundation may lead to excessive genset vibrations resulting in radiator leaks, failure of
the auto-electrical and safety system, failure of gauges and other engine parts.
Isolation
It is advisable that the foundation of each genset rests on bedrock or solid earth completely
independent of other foundations, cement work, walls or operating platforms.
Vibration
The design of the genset is such that only minimal vibration is transmitted to the foundation. To
achieve this, anti-vibration mounts are fitted between the engine, the alternator and the baseframe.
In larger capacity gensets, the vibration isolators are mounted below the baseframe.
SERVICE
In generator rooms situated on the upper floors, special attention to vibration isolation is necessary.
Often spring type vibration isolators would be needed.
It is necessary to ensure that building structures are capable of supporting the genset, fuel storage
KIRLOSKAR OIL ENGINE LIMITED
and accessories.
Anti-Vibration Mounting
The suitable Anti-Vibration Mountings (AVMs) are provided by KOEL with the genset. Please
ensure that the original parts are used in the event of any future replacement.
39
LIFTING THE GENSET
Make sure that your genset is unloaded at your works with a proper crane/hoist to avoid damaging
the oil sump, radiator or other genset parts.
Figure 8 shows a genset lifted with the help of a crane. The lifting belt is connected to the slots
provided around the frame of the genset. Note the frame to prevent the lifting belts coming close to
the genset.
? Ensure that the lifting equipment is adequately rated to lift the weight of the genset.
? Ensure that the lifting rope does not touch the parts of the genset as it would distort or
damage the various assemblies of the that are subjected to the stress while lifting.
? Ensure that the lifted genset remains steady and does not swing as it may touch other
objects or injure personnel.
? Maintain the highest standard of safety, be vigilant and cautious while lifting or moving
the genset.

EXHAUST
The exhaust system is used to direct exhaust gases to non-confined areas and reduce the noise to
tolerable levels. When designing a system, the main objective is to minimize back pressure.
Excessive back pressure in an exhaust system will create loss of horsepower while increasing the
engine operating temperature and the emissions.
When bends are required in an exhaust system, always make the radius at least 150% of the inside
diameter of the pipe. As most of the exhaust system designs are governed by the physical
characteristics of the building or room in which they are located, it is important that the exhaust pipe
be routed in a path offering the least amount of turns or bends to prevent an increase back pressure
greater than 50 mm of Hg (Mercury) column.
Be sure that all pipes are well supported and that springs or other dampers are used at points of
high vibration. Due to the heat radiation of the exhaust pipes it is recommended that all pipes be
located at least 250 mm from any combustible material.
Wrapping the exhaust pipes with high temperature insulation or installing fitted insulated sections will
prevent excessive heat radiation within the room.
A metal thimble guard 300 mm in diameter slightly larger than the pipe should be installed at the
points where the piping passes through a wall or roof.
The exhaust pipe outlet should be bent. This is done so that the outgoing hot exhaust gases do not
enter the power house again. Normally, the pipe outlet should be bent in the direction of the wind
and the end should be cut at an angle of about 45 degrees.
As shown in the figures 10 and 11, bevel the end of the pipe at a 30-45 degree angle. Should the
pipe end be horizontal, bevel the pipe from the top back to the bottom. This will not only reduce the
noise levels at the outlet but will also minimize entrance of precipitation on horizontal pipes.
SERVICE KIRLOSKAR OIL ENGINE LIMITED
42
Figure 12: Correct profile of the Exhaust outlet
The level or height at which the outlet is situated should be sufficient to prevent fumes and gases
from becoming an annoyance or potential hazard. An exhaust pressure actuated raincap is
recommended for use on vertical outlet pipes.
The exhaust system should be made from black MS ERW Type (Electric Resistance Welded) pipes
rather than with galvanized water pipes. The ERW pipes have the following advantages.
The total length of the exhaust pipe should not exceed 15 meters and should have a maximum of
four right angle bends. Avoid using any pipe elbows.
Increase the pipe's internal diameter by 38 mm (1.5 inch) after every 5 meter running length.
KIRLOSKAR OIL ENGINE LIMITED
Any long horizontal or vertical piping should include water legs and drain traps at their lowest points
so that water does not reach either the silencer or the engine.
It is also recommended that a slight slope downward from the silencer to the water leg or drain trap
be added to assure the proper removal of water.
By locating the silencer as close to the engine as possible you will be able to minimize the noise
level in the exhaust piping. Each genset installation should have it's own exhaust system. The
genset should not be connected to a system accommodating more than one engines to prevent the
possibility of exhaust gas and condensation backflow which may cause permanent damage to an
idle engine.
43
Note: Health warning: Inhalation of exhaust fumes is potentially lethal. The correct installation of
exhaust systems to prevent accumulation of exhaust gas cannot be over emphasized.
Use the exhaust piping with the recommended ID (inside diameter) as mentioned in the engine
specifications. Use the Nomogram in Figure 14 as a guide for selecting the diameter of the exhaust
pipe.
Exhaust Silencer
The exhaust silencer should preferable be outside the power house to avoid excess radiation of
heat in the room. Normally, the silencer is installed horizontally.
However, if the silencer is installed vertically, do provide a rain cap to prevent water from entering
the exhaust pipe. More details of the rain cap are provided later in this document.
These parts compensate for the expansion of the exhaust pipe due to heat and to provide flexibility
between genset and rigid piping during the various phases such as starting, running and stopping.
The expansion bellows and flexible pipes should be installed between exhaust piping and engine.
Exhaust Support
Provide proper support from the roof of the genset room to the exhaust system.
This would avoid the direct weight of the exhaust pipe and silencer on the exhaust manifold.
Rain Cap
A rain cover should be provided over the pipe's mouth to prevent the entry of rain water.
The rain cover should be of about 60 degrees angle. The outer diameter for the rain cover should be
approximately 5 times the pipe diameter. The cover center should be 2.5 times the pipe's diameter
away from the pipe's mouth.

FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel system must be capable of delivering to the engine a clean and continuous supply of fuel.
When designing a fuel system, always incorporate the requirements of Local, State, or National
Codes.
Bulk fuel storage is the most preferable method of providing fuel supply. This method allows bulk
fuel purchases which will minimize dirt and contamination possibilities, especially when the fuel is
seldom used. The bulk storage tank (if provided) may be located either above or below the ground.
The bulk storage tank is not included in the standard scope of supply.
A vent must be installed on the main tank to relieve the air pressure created by filling the tank as
well as preventing a vacuum within tank as fuel is consumed. The tank bottom should be rounded
and placed on a 2 degree tilt to assure a concentrated settling of both water and sediments.
At the low point of the tank a drain valve should be installed to remove water that may accumulate
due to condensation.
VENT
FUEL
PUMP

Another consideration while locating the main tank is the height difference between it and the
SERVICE
auxiliary tank (day tank). The maximum vertical lift capabilities of a standard electric motor driven
fuel transfer pump is 5 meters. Do not place either tank at a level that would exceed the pump lift
capabilities. Also keep in mind the possibilities of pressure drop created by excessive horizontal
distances and bends in the pipes.
KIRLOSKAR OIL ENGINE LIMITED
The fuel delivery line carrying fuel to the engine and the fuel return line for carrying excessive fuel
back to the tank should be of the same size. For longer runs or during operations in extremely low
ambient temperatures, increase the size of these lines to ensure adequate flow.
The fuel lines can be made of suitable material such as steel pipe or fuel line tube that will tolerate
ambient conditions. Overflow piping should be of the same material and one size larger.
46
The fuel return line should enter the tank at the top and not contain a shut-off valve. This line should
be designed with a minimum amount of bends or dips to prevent an air lock in the system. The fuel
delivery line should pick up the fuel from the point no lower than 20mm from the bottom of the tank.
If possible, locate this line at the end of the tank opposite that of the return line and at the high end
of the tank.
Flexible fuel lines should be used at a point between the tank and engine (preferably adjacent to the
genset) to avoid the potential damage that could be created by vibration.
Day Tanks
Clean fuel will aid in attaining maximum engine life and reliability. Primary filters are recommended
for use between the engine filters and the transfer pump. Water and sediment traps should
also be included upstream of the transfer pump. However, on border line pump installations, do not
increase fuel line restrictions to a point exceeding the capabilities of the pump.
FIRE PRECAUTIONS
? The room should be designed so that there is an easy escape route for operating
personnel in the event of fire within the room.
? A recommended type of fire extinguisher or fire extinguishing system should be provided to
fight the fire.
? Gravity operated fire valves operated by fusible links, mounted above the engine, can be
installed in the fuel lines.
? The room should be kept clean and free from accumulated rubbish which can be a fire
hazard.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Only fully qualified and experienced electrical technicians should carry out the electrical
installation work.
The electrical connection to the genset should be made with flexible cable to prevent the
transmission of vibration and possible damage to the alternator or circuit breaker terminals. If it is
not convenient to use flexible cable throughout then a link box can be installed close to the set with
a flexible connection between it and the set.
SERVICE
The cable may be laid in a duct or on cable tray. When bending cable reference must be made to
the recommended minimum bending radius.
No rigid connection should be made between the set and the cable support system, eg, cable tray.
KIRLOSKAR OIL ENGINE LIMITED
When single core cables are used the gland plates must be of non-ferrous material, eg, aluminum,
brass or a non-metallic material such as nylon or teflon.
The cable must be suitable for the voltage being used and adequately sized to carry the rated
current with allowances made for ambient temperature, method of installation, proximity of other
cables, etc.
All electrical work should be carried out in accordance with any applicable National, Local
Standards, Codes or Regulations.
47
All connections should be carefully checked for integrity. Phase rotation must be checked for
compatibility with the installation. This is vitally important when connection is made to an auto
transfer switch, or if the genset is to run in parallel with another genset.
Loading
When planning your distribution system it is important to ensure that a balanced load is presented to
your genset. The unbalanced loading of a three phase alternator would cause damage to the
windings. A maximum unbalance of 25 % is acceptable.
Protection
The cables connecting the genset with the distribution system should be protected by means of a
circuit breaker, fuses or other means to disconnect the genset in case of overload or short circuit.
Ensure that the Load current exceeds that of the current rating of the genset.
It may be necessary to reorganize the electrical distribution system if a genset is to be connected to
an existing installation.
Power Factor
The power factor (cos Ø) of the connected load should be determined. Power factors below 0.8 will
overload the generator. The genset will provide its kilowatt rating and will operate satisfactorily from
0.8 power factor. Particular attention must be given to installation with automatic or manual power
factor correction equipment to ensure that a leading power factor is not present under any
conditions. The power factor problems would result in voltage instability on the generator output.
EARTHING
The Earthing should be done in accordance with applicable National, Local Code or Regulation.
Regulations vary and advice should be sought from the local supply utility as to their requirements.
The factory connects the frame of the alternator to the frame of the genset therefore the complete
mass of the genset is at the same potential. The connection if required of the generator winding
neutral to earth is the responsibility of the installation technicians.
Warning:
SERVICE
Earthing provides protection to personnel and equipment by ensuring protective control gear and
isolation of faulty circuit in following cases :
48
Methods Of Earthing
The recommended materials for the Earth Electrode are copper, copper - clad
iron, cast iron and galvanized steel.
Earth Connection
Rod electrodes shall be at least 16 mm in diameter if of steel, and 12.5 mm diameter if of copper.
Pipe electrodes shall not be smaller than 38 mm internal diameter if of galvanized iron or steel and
100 mm internal diameter if made of cast iron.
SERVICE
The length of rod and pipe electrodes shall not be less than 2.5 m, which shall be driven to a
minimum depth of 2.5m. Where rock is encountered at depth of less than2.5m the electrodes may
KIRLOSKAR OIL ENGINE LIMITED
be buried inclined to the vertical with inclination not more than 30° from the vertical.
The recommended method of installing a pipe electrode is illustrated in Figure 16 . If one electrode
fails to give the required low resistance, a number of such electrodes may be installed and
connected in parallel.
The distance between to adjacent electrodes should not be less than twice the length of the
electrodes.
49
Earth
Connection
Plate Electrodes
Plate electrodes may be made of copper, galvanized iron or steel. The size of copper plate shall not
be less than 60 cm x 60 cm x 3.15 mm and that of iron and steel plates not less than
60cmx60cmx6.30mm. The installation of the plate electrode is shown in Figure 17.
The top edge of the plate shall be at a depth not less than 1.5m from the surface of ground.
“P”, the resistance of a plate electrode may be calculated from the formula:
r P
R= Ohms
SERVICE
4 A
2
and A = area of both sides of the plate in cm
Where the resistance of one plate electrode is not satisfactory two or more plates may be used in
parallel with a minimum distance of 8 meters between the two plates. The size of the plate too has
an effect on the resistance but there is little gain with plate area more than 1.75 m² per side.
The use of plate electrodes is recommended in generating stations and sub stations where current
carrying capacity is the prime consideration.
50
Earth Bus and Earth Wires
Round and flat sections of copper and galvanized -iron are used for earthing purposes. No earth
wire shall have cross -sectional area less than 3.0 mm² if of copper, and 6mm² if of galvanized iron,
except in portable equipment whose current carrying conductor has a less than 3.0mm². In such a
case , the earth wire shall have a cross-sectional area equal to that of the current - carrying
conductor.
The size of the main earth bus of copper can be worked out from the formula,
A = .03 I mm² for bolted or pressure joints.
where A is cross-sectional area in mm² and I is the maximum fault current.
The minimum size of copper earth bus should be nearly half the size of the corresponding current
carrying conductor, but not less than 65mm² if of copper and 200 mm² if of galvanized iron and steel.
In case of steel wire, the conductivity should be equal to that of copper. The earth wires should be
so laid that there is no danger of mechanical damage to them.
The cross - sectional area of every separate copper E.C.C. not contained in a cable, flexible cable
or flexible cord shall not be less than one- half that of the largest current carrying conductor feeding
the circuit and in no case shall any separate earth continuity
conductor have a cross-sectional area less than 3.0 mm² if of copper and 6 mm² if of galvanized iron
or steel. It need not have a cross-sectional area greater than 65 mm² (copper) in any case.
Metal conduit pipe should normally not be used as an earth continuity conductor. Where so used, all
joints should be screwed tight for effective electrical continuity Locknuts should also be used to
safeguard against loosening.
Type of Connections
Prohibited Connections
Water and gas pipes and members of structural steel-work shall not be used as continuity
conductor. Flexible conduit shall not be used as E.C.C. A separate earth wire should be provided
either inside or outside the flexible conduit which should be connected by means of earths clips to
the earth system at one end, and to the equipment at the other end.
Note
SERVICE
Each genset requires two separate earth pits separated by not less than 1 meter distance on any
suitable location.
Earth Pit No. 1 - Engine, Alternator, Genset base and the Control Panel.
KIRLOSKAR OIL ENGINE LIMITED
No separate earth pit is required for battery since the battery negative is connected to genset body.
Voltage difference between alternator neutral and earthing terminal should be less than 5 Volts AC
when the genset is running at full load.
As the earth pit depends on good conductivity, it should always be kept moist. This is achieved by
wetting with water using a suitable funnel. The user should be educated to keep the earth pit moist
as a regular maintenance practice.
51
MAINTENANCE OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:
BATTERY
Care of the battery is very critical as they are used to start the genset whenever the backup power is
required. Maintenance procedures should be carried out rigorously since the battery has to be in
perfect condition to start the diesel engine. Apart from powering the starter motor, the battery serves
as the energy source for all the electrical controls and safety devices on the engine.
Even a the slightest resistance in the starting circuit has a significant effect on the starting ability of
the engine. Therefore, the battery should be located as close as possible to the genset and the
connections should be kept tight and corrosion free.
The battery should be accessible for servicing. During charging, the battery give out fumes that are
corrosive and contain inflammable gases such as hydrogen, hence the area should be well
ventilated.
A regulated source of charging the battery is required with the genset. This may include an engine
driven battery charging alternator, a static battery charger or both. The static battery charger may be
energized from the mains supply and keeps the battery fully charged so that it may start the engine
whenever required.
The regulated source ensures that the battery is charged rapidly when it is discharged but prevents
overcharging once the voltage has recovered.

? Replace the caps.
? Check the specific gravity of electrolyte with a hydrometer, five minutes after adding distilled
water.
? Measure the specific gravity of electrolyte in the individual cells with a commercial
hydrometer.

? The measured values in the table below indicate the state of charge of the battery.
? Charge the battery if the reading is below the one mentioned in the following table.
? Ensure that the mounting bolts are securely fastened and all electrical connections are
clean and tight. Cables should be examined for fractures, particularly where the strands
enter the terminal lugs.
l Check the brushes. They must be renewed if worn to approximately 10 mm and 13mm
which is half of the original or to a point where springs no longer provide effective pressure.
Brushes must always be replaced in sets and with the correct grade.
l Check the brush spring balance as shown in The spring pressure should be as follows-
0.965 to 1.080kg. If the pressure is not within the above limits, renew the springs in set and
not individually.

All gensets make sounds while they are running. These sounds can be a source of nuisance to the
surroundings and hence they are fitted with an acoustic canopy that are fitted around the working
genset.
Your genset can be supplied with the following accessories and components to reduce noise
emissions - Residential and super critical silencers, acoustic louvers and splitter vents, fan silencers
and acoustically treated enclosures.
Addition of any of the device increases the costs, complexity and price of a genset in addition of
reducing the mechanical and electrical power. These factors must be borne in mind while selecting
the sound control devices for the genset.
The local pollution control laws (such as the CPCB norms in India) may require the genset to run
inside an acoustic canopy to prevent excessive noise. Generally the noise level is controlled as per
the customer’s specifications.
The requirements for each site vary enormously and for any critical installation we recommend you
consult your dealer at an early stage. The information needed to select acoustic equipment is:
Noise emissions from diesel gensets (without acoustic treatment) are at sound pressure levels of
between 100 dB(A) and 110 dB (A) at 1m. Upto 200 KVA capacity, the typically Kirloskar Gensets
with acoustic enclosures could have a typical noise pressure level of 70 dB(A) at a distance of 7
meter from the enclosure. As mentioned before, the acoustic treatment depends on the customer’s
requirement.
Intermediate levels of treatment will prove more economic and are often satisfactory depending only
on the nature and type of installation. Sensitive areas such as hospitals etc. require more attention
than the normal commercial / industrial installation.

An acoustic canopy is provided for the genset with the following characteristics:
l One of the sides of the canopy may contain a glass window to show the view of the control
panel while the engine is running without having to open the doors.
l An Emergency Stop push button switch is usually fitted outside the canopy to stop the

CONTROL SYSTEM
l Control Panel providing a means of starting and stopping the Generator Set, monitoring its
operation and output, and causing the engine to automatically shut down in the event of a
circuit condition arising. E.g. low oil pressure, high coolant temperature, over speed, low fuel
level etc.
l An Alternator Circuit Breaker providing a means of switching the Generator output, and
automatically disconnecting the load in event of short circuit.
l The power to operate all the control systems is derived from the engine starting
battery.
l The engine itself is fitted with devices such as:
> Various safety switches (like switches for low oil pressure, high coolant
temperature, low fuel level etc).
> Various sensors and sender (magnetic pickup for engine speed sensing, oil pressure
sender etc).
> Solenoids, Actuators and Motors to translate electrical signals into mechanical motion
(like fuel or stop solenoid, throttle actuator or a starter motor).

CONTROL PANEL:
KIRLOSKAR OIL ENGINE LIMITED
While some parts of the controls are fitted on the genset engine, most of the elements may be fitted
inside a control panel.
57
Manual Engine Safety panel:
As is evident from the name, these panels need the user to operate the genset. The control system
automatically stops the engine if it detects an unsafe condition like high coolant temperature, low oil
pressure, engine overspeed etc.
l The heart of the panel is an electronic controller, the DSE 704. This compact unit has the
inbuilt interlocks, timers, indications, switches, inputs, relay outputs etc to avoid using
external timers and switchgear.
l Engine gauges. The engine gauges indicate the engine parameters such as oil
pressure, coolant temperature, battery voltage and fuel level. These gauges operate
proportionally based on an analogue sensor that is fitted to the oil gallery, the coolant
system or the fuel tank etc.
l Electrical Gauges: The electrical gauges indicate the three phase voltage, current or
frequency of the alternator. The voltmeter and the ammeter gauges have a switch that
selects to read between the three phases. Larger gensets may have electrical gauges with
advanced functions such as KVA, KW, PF, KVAR etc.
l Relays: The coils of the relays are driven by the controller. When energized, the relay
contacts are used to switch the heavy current required to operate the starter motor or the
stop solenoid.
l MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) and MCCB (Moulded Case Circuit Breaker): These protect
the electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits. They break the supply whenever the
current exceeds a set limit, thus offering protection.
l The MCB is generally used when lower currents are handled and operates on a thermal
principle. The MCBs are available in 1,2,3 and 4 pole configurations and are used in AC as
well as DC circuits.
l The MCCB is generally used when higher currents are handled and operate on thermal as
well as magnetic principles. The MCCBs are generally available in 2,3 and 4 pole
configuration and are used in the AC circuits.
l The user has to manually choose between the mains or genset supply using a changeover
switch. The user must ensure that the load is not connected to the genset during starting
and stopping of the engine.
The AMF panels offer a high degree of automation. The AMF panel can operate completely without
user intervention.
KIRLOSKAR OIL ENGINE LIMITED
l The AMF panel is also built around the DSE 704 electronic controller.
l The 'Line Voltage Monitor' (LVM) relay in the panel detects the presence of a healthy mains
supply and signals the controller via a relay contact.
l This controller switches a mains contactor that charges the load feeder from the mains
supply.
l If the mains supply is detected as defective (under or over voltage, phase failure etc), the
mains contactor is switched off and the genset is cranked via the starter motor.
l The starter motor is switched off automatically once the engine fires.
l Once the engine is running and the alternator is producing an output, the genset contactor
58
is switched and the load feeder is now charged from the genset supply.
l The engine safety parameters are continuously monitored by the controller and the engine
is shut down if the parameter is found to be exceeding the limits.
l While the load is being charged from the genset supply, the mains feeder is being monitored
for return back to normalcy.
l Once the mains supply is restored, the load is switched to the mains feeder by switching off
the genset contactor and switching on the mains contactor.
l The genset is run for a short period without load to cool the engine and the alternator before
being shut down.
l The system now again monitors the mains supply for operation within the set limits.
l Thus the AMF panel operates automatically without any inputs from the user.
l The panel may be fitted with audio and visual alarms to indicate various conditions.
l Many of these conditions would be also available on 'potential free' relay contacts for
remote annunciation and telemetry.
l The other features of the AMF panels are similar to the Manual panels such as the engine
and electrical gauges etc.
l In case the engine does not fire in the first attempt, the controller would try many crank
cycles to start the genset.
l If the genset does not start even at the end of many crank cycles, the controller locks out
further activity to avoid draining the battery further.
l A 'Start Failure' alarm is generated in such a condition. The user would have to reset the
panel before a fresh attempt can be made to start the genset once again.
l The AMF panel is fitted with a static charger that keeps the engine starting
battery in a healthy state. This would ensure that the battery is ready to start the genset
whenever required.
l The controller has many inbuilt timers, interlocks and logics that help to simplify the panel
wiring and reduce the complexity of the panel.
l The mains and genset contactors may be interlocked to prevent both of them from operating
at the same time.
l The coils of the contactors are fed from the supply of the same feeder i.e. the mains
contactor runs off the mains supply and the genset contactor runs off the genset supply.
l The contactors may be of 2,3 or 4 pole configuration. As the current of the Neutral is half of
the Phases, sometimes the power contactor for the three phases may have only three
poles, while the neutral is switched by a separate, smaller contactor. Often the poles of the
contactors may be wired in parallel to increase their current handling capacity.
SERVICE
l Larger AMF panels use ACBs (air circuit breakers) in place of contactors to switch the
power currents.
l MCBs, MCCBs and Fuses are used in the panel to offer protection against short circuits and
KIRLOSKAR OIL ENGINE LIMITED
overloads. The advantages of the MCB or MCCB is that they can be reset to the original
condition while a fuse has to replaced after failing under excessive current.
l Apart from the usual fully automatic mode of operation, the AMF panel may have a Manual
mode of operation where the genset is controlled by the user. The Manual mode may offer
genset safety during operation.
l The AMF panel may also have a Bypass mode, in which the operation is controlled by the
user but there is no safety to the genset. This mode is used in case of an emergency.
59
A typical Three Phase AMF panel.
Note: The three phase AMF panel fitted in your genset may be significantly different from the
illustrated panel, however most of the components and principle of operation remain identical.
l Apart from being wired to the engine and the battery, the panel is connected to the Mains,
Genset and Load feeders.
l The logic in the panel and monitors the mains supply. If the supply is healthy then the Mains
contactor is selected, thus charging the Load feeder with supply from the Mains feeder.
l If the mains supply is found to be unhealthy, the mains contactor is de-selected and the
genset started via the panel logic.
l Once the genset is working, the genset contactor is selected to charge the Load feeder with
the genset supply.
l As the genset is running, the engine parameters are being monitored for operation within
the safe limits. In case the engine parameter is unsafe (low oil pressure, high coolant
temperature, engine overspeed etc) the panel logic shuts the engine down to prevent
damage.
l Even as the genset is running and the load is being charged from the genset feeder, the
panel monitors the mains supply for a return to normalcy.
l Once the mains is detected as normal, the load is transferred to the mains feeder and the
genset is shut down. Thus the panel operates in an automatic mode and strives to keep the
load feeder charged with a healthy supply from either the mains or the genset supply.

2.3 ENGINE LIFTING DEVICE
As shown in Fig. 2-3/1, before lifting a typical engine, fix the lifting hooks. The lifting hooks on the engine
are meant for lifting the bare engine only. The use of both the hooks is mandatory for safely lifting the
bare engine.
Fig.2.3/1
Using the engine lifting hooks for lifting up of Gensets mounted on base plate could result in bending of
the studs for lifting and damage the engine/set in event of breakage. Use of a proper sling/tackle
arrangement for lifting up of such base plate mounted sets is recommended. Fig.2.3/2 shows the
recommended lifting arrangement.
Fig.2.3/2

2.4.1 Lubrication System
The force feed lubrication is provided by an inbuilt pump to main bearings, connecting rod big end bearings,
camshaft journals, valve gear and turbo charger bearing.
Other components like small end bearings, liners, gears are lubricated by the splash method. The oil is cleaned by
passing it through a replaceable filter element. A lube oil cooler is used to keep the temperature of the circulating oil
within limits. A relief valve, fitted on the delivery side of the pump limits the generation of the oil pressure.
The schematic diagram shows the lube oil circuit of a typical engine is as follows:
Fig.2.4/1
2
Minimum recommended Lube Oil Pressure is 2 kg/cm
2
If the pressure drops below 2 kg/cm while the engine is running under loaded at 1500
RPM, the lube oil filter element/cartridge should be replaced. If the pressure continues to
remain low, please contact our authorised Service Dealer for the services of their
technicians.
Lube oil consumption varies according to engine operating conditions, but would not normally exceed
0.3% of actual fuel consumption for a Kirloskar SL90 diesel in good condition.
6
2.4.4 Lube Oil Sump Capacity
Refill 21.0
Note :
1. First fill = Sump Capacity + Gallery Capacity + Lube oil Filter Capacity.
2. Fill the Lube Oil Filter before fitting on the engine.
3. Do not forget to fill the lube oil filter whenever you replace the filter.
4. Whenever lube. Oil filter is drained off, add as per lube oil filter capacity e.g. 0.5 lit./1.1 liter.
Extra lube Oil in the sump to maintain correct oil level.
While filling for the first time, add an additional quantity of lube oil equal to capacity of the oil filter
to the sump to maintain the correct level.
The choice of the viscosity grade during winter operation should be governed by the ambient temperature
prevailing at the time of starting the engine. Oil changes as a function of ambient temperatures can be avoided
by using MULTIGRADE oils. Having an oi l with high viscosity causes starting difficulties.
The Kirloskar make K-Oil should be used for your engine. This oil meets the specification of MILC plus and SAE
20W40.
Please note that no guarantee claims would be entertained for engine damages due to use of unsuitable
engine lube oil.

2.5 FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM
A lift pump (feed pump) incorporated in the fuel injection pump is used to pick up the diesel from the tank. Two
stages of filters (a pre-filter and a micro paper filter) ensures the cleanliness of fuel before it is supplied to the fuel
injection pump. The schematic diagram (Fig. 2.5/1) shows the fuel circuit of the engine.
NOTE : It the fuel tank is to be installed below the fuel pump level, then the bottom level of the fuel tank should be
less than 1 meter below the feed pump inlet.
Fig.2.5/1
8
2.5.3 Storing Fuel Oil
The storage of fuel oil is of utmost importance since many engine problems are traced to dirt in the fuel or use
of fuel that has been stored for too long a period. Store fuel in a convenient place outside the building.
It is recommended that the fuel tank should be filled in at the end of the day’s work. This keeps moisture out of
the tank.
To eliminate water from the fuel, drain out small quantity of fuel from fuel tank through a drain plug every day
before starting the engine.
Fig.2.6/1
IMPORTANT
§ It is also necessary to ensure proper ventilation to avoid hot air re-circulation into the cooling system.
§ For any non-standard installation of radiator system (like Remote radiator mounting) please contact KOEL
OR NEAREST KOEL AREA OFFICE / KOEL authorised service dealer for necessary recommendation.
9
2.6.2.2 Coolant
In summer - Use fresh water with anti-corrosion additives for the engine cooling system. Water should be clear and free
of any corrosive chemicals formation. Water should be clear and free of any corrosive chemicals such as chloride,
sulphate and acids. We recommend to use coolant blend of soft water and the rust preventive compound as mentioned
below:
K-Cool Super : 8 cc/litre
Available with KOEL authorised parts & service dealers.
IN WINTER - Use Ethylene glycol antifreeze diluted with coolant blend as mentioned above in the following proportion
in (radiator) cooling system.
Ambient Temperature °CRatio by volume of anti freeze to cooling water blend
+5 To -5 20:80
-6 To -15 33:67
-16 To -25 40:60
below -25 50:50 (max. permissible ratio)
? Commercially available ready mixed coolants can also be used, with Antifreeze and anti-corrosion additives
after ascertaining suitability for low ambient temperature.
? Storage of engine with only fresh water in engine cooling system should be avoided at ambient temperature
below 5° C. This may cause cracks in the engine components.
? If the engine is to be transported from normal ambient areas to Low ambient areas ambient below +5° C the
complete cooling system should be drained and refilled with Antifreeze + water mixture as mentioned above.
? C.I.M ( Compression ignition Motor) Rating - Minimum current at 27° C with full charged battery should sustain for 5
min. 30 sec with cell voltage of 1.33 V/cell.
• Cranking Performance Rating- It is a minimum current in amperes which fully charged battery at 27°C will sustain
for a period of 2 minutes and maintain cell voltage of 1.2V/cell or higher.
• 20 hours capacity rating-it is the capacity in ampere-hour which the fully charged battery will deliver when it is
discharged at 27°C at a constant current for 20 hour before reaching a final voltage over all of 1.75 V/cell.

3.1 COMMISSIONING
Before you start a new or an overhauled engine, attend to the points given below -
3.1.1 For oil filling volume, see 2.4.4 (initial fill) For oil quality grade and oil viscosity, see 2.4.6.
Fig.3.1/1
3.1.2 Fill up the fuel tank after making sure that it is properly cleaned. Use only High Speed Diesel Fuel.
See section 2.5 for fuel quality grade. In accordance with ambient temperatures, summer or winter grade diesel
fuel should be used. Never fill the fuel tank while the engine is running. Observe strict cleanliness. Do not spill
any fuel while filling.
3.1.3 Ensure that the radiator is filled to the correct level with the specified coolant and there is no
leakage. The radiator should be checked only when the engine is cold and switched off.
DO NOT open the radiator cap when the engine is hot even if it is not running.

Fig.3.1/4
3.15 Belts
Check that the belts are in position and the belt tension is properly adjusted. If not adjust it as described in section
5.5.
3.2 STARTING
13
With Start Push Button -
1) Do not use the starter on any occasion for more than 20 seconds at a time. Pause for a minute between two
consecutive operations.
2) Never operate the starter for more than 4 attempts continuously, otherwise battery may run down. If engine
does not start, trace the cause according to fault Diagnosis Chart.
3) On no account should the starter be operated when the engine is running, otherwise serious damage is likely to
occur to both the starter and the starter ring on flywheel.
3.3 Stopping
Never stop the engine while it is running on load. Also do not stop the engine immediately after the load has been
disconnected. Allow the engine to run without load for 2 to 3 minutes and only then stop it. To stop the engine proceed as
follows -
• The engine can be stopped by pulling the stop lever with the help of stop-linkage provided on the engine (see Fig.
3.3/1)
Fig.3.3/1
Do not release the stop lever till the engine is completely stopped.
? If the stop solenoid is fitted on the engine, press the stop push button till the engine is completely stopped.
? Charging current lamp lights up when engine has come to rest.
? Turn key anti-clockwise to ‘OFF’ position and withdraw, pilot lamp goes out.
? After stopping the engine close the ‘shut-off cock under fuel tank (if provided).
14
Diesel Fuel:
- Use winter grade fuel for operation below + 10° C, see 2.5.2
• Cold starting Aids:
- Cold starting of a Diesel engine depends among other things, on the capacity of the starter motor and that of
the battery. Since the starting equipment of the engine may differ according to its application, please consult
KOEL, about the use of cold starting aid. However, as a general guide line we are giving below the
temperature range for cold starting aid -
Up to –5°C - No cold starting aid required.
–5° to –20°C - Use flame type heater or start pilot.
Below –20°C - Use flame type heater or start pilot and hot air blower for preheating the engine oil sump,
cylinder liners etc. (contact KOEL for details)
Battery:
? Cold starting requires a good state of charge of the battery.
? Lowering the starting limit temperatures by 4-5°c is possible by raising the battery temperature to about + 20°c.
This is achieved by removing the battery and storing it in a warm room.
During first 50 running hours, never exceed full load even for a short duration.

4.1 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE -
16
5.1 MAINTENANCE OF VARIOUS SYSTEMS
5.1.1 Oil Change Intervals
• The oil change intervals depend on engine application and on quality of lube oil. Refer table below :-
• Should, within ONE YEAR, the engine run less than the hours stated in the table, the oil must be changed at least
ONCE AYEAR.
• The table is subject to the following conditions :
- For Diesel fuel max. sulphur content 0.5 % by weight.
- Prevailing ambient temperature down to -10°C.
• In the case of fuels containing more than 0.5 % to 1 % sulphur or prevailing ambient temperature below -10°C, the
intervals between oil changes are to be halved.
• In the case of fuels containing more than 1% sulphur, ask our authorised service Dealer or KOEL, PUNE.
Fig.5.1/1
• Pull out dipstick, wipe it with a non-fraying rag and push it in as far as it will go and then withdraw again (Fig. 5.1/1).
• The film of oil left on the dipstick should extend to the upper (max) mark. If the level only reaches to the lower mark,
the oil should be topped-up without delay.
Failure to attend to oil levels may result in serious damage to the engine (piston & bearing seizure)

C) Centrifuge Cleaner :
Instruction Manual
• Introduction
The Centrifuge Cleaner SCC30 cleans your engine oil continuously when your engine is running.
It separates dirt below 1 micron from engine oil thus lowers wear rate of engine components
drastically. It avoids harmful oil degradation and arrests depletion of oil additives increasing the
oil life. The Centrifuge Cleaner does not require any spare parts to be replaced and gives
consistent performance throughout engine oil.
20
• Cleaning frequency
For consistent performance, the centrifuge rotor needs to be cleaned
periodically as mentioned in this manual. It is recommended that you service the
centrifuge every 250 hours of working or at every oil change period.
The volume of dirt collected depends upon engine application, loading and
environment in which engine is working. Exact period of servicing the centrifuge
can thus vary between 200 hours of working to your oil change period. Please
follow the instructions given below for cleaning of centrifuge cleaner.
• Identification and location
The centrifuge Cleaner is located on the same manifold on which full flow oil
filter is mounted. The centrifuge can be easily identified with a dome shaped
cover bearing instruction sticker. The exact location is as shown in this
photograph.

• After you open the rotor, you will see the collected dirt around the rotor cover on the inside. In case the
collected dirt is hard, use a blunt knife to dislodge. Clean the rotor cover and all rotors thoroughly with cotton
waste. Clean the centrifuge central shaft also.

2. Do not hold the rotor nut in clamping device like bench vice as shown. Extra clamping pressure on rotor nut may result in damaging the
circularity of upper bush and will result in permanent damage to rotor assembly.
3. Do not open or tamper with the valve assembly. The valve assembly is preset for opening oil pressure in engine’s oil gallery. If the setting is lost
or the valve assembly is damaged, there is risk that your engine will not get enough oil or the centrifuge will not function properly.
Consult authorised service dealer in case of any doubt.

NOTE:
1) Do not clean filter insert. Always replace the insert with new one at recommended intervals. Cleaning will
damage filter insert, reduce filtration efficiency and damage fuel injection equipment.
2) Since a filter attains the maximum efficiency only after a film of dirt is deposited on the surface of the filter insert,
avoid replacing pre-filter insert and micro-filter insert at the same time. First change pre-filter insert and then
after 250 running hours change micro-filter insert.
3) The Routine Maintenance schedule is meant to serve as a guide only for normal fuel storage and engine
operating conditions. Replacement of inserts may have to be made earlier than the recommended period.
When working on the fuel system, keep naked lights away! Do not smoke!
A) Description:
Your SL 90 Engine is fitted with a Dry type Air Cleaner. The construction of typical Dry type Air Cleaner, supplied as
optional extra, is shown below in fig, 5.4/3 and 5.4/4.
Fig.5.4/3
Fig.5.4/4
Inlet cap or pre - cleaner is supplied for the air intake, depending on the working conditions, inlet cap prevents
ingress of rain/heavy particles. Pre-cleaner separates out heavier dust particles, which are collected in the pre-
cleaner bowl, thereby extending the life of the main filter element.
Two filter elements are co - axially fitted in the air cleaner housing. The outer element is the main filter element, with
a built in cyclone separator which gives a swirling effect to incoming air, to separate out heavy dust particles by
centrifugal action.
25
This dust is collected in the end cover (which is removable). The vacuator valve at the bottom of cover helps in
expelling the accumulated dust. This is achieved by opening / closing of vacuator valve outlet due to the air flow
fluctuations inside the air cleaner.
Inner element is a ‘Safety Element’ to prevent ingress of dust into the engine, when the outer (main) element is
removed for cleaning / replacement.
B) Maintenance:
Regular check up and maintenance of the air cleaner is essential to ensure maximum protection to the engine
from the dust.
i) Daily check the connection of rubber hose and the hose clips between the manifold and the air cleaner before
starting the engine. Damaged hose/ clips nuts be replaced immediately. Any by-passing of unfiltered air
through cracks in the hose / loose hose will quickly lead to serious damage to the engine.
Since this is a dry type air cleaner, ensure that no oil or water/moisture enters the filter casing.
ii) The pre cleaner (if provided) should be cleaned, to remove the accumulated dust, after each day’s work, when
the engine is stopped. This cleaning can be done by removing the top cover of the pre cleaner.
iii) The restriction indicator, mounted on air cleaner near the hose, indicates the condition of the air cleaner
element, when the air element is in good condition, a red signal will be seen through the transparent window on
the indicator when the engine is running and will disappear when engine is stopped. However, if the element is
choked, then the red signal will remain ‘ON’ even after engine is stopped. This is an indication that the main filter
element must be removed & cleaned or replaced.
NOTE:
1) Do not clean filter insert. Always replace the insert with new one at recommended intervals. Cleaning will
damage filter insert, reduce filtration efficiency and damage fuel injection equipment.
2) Since a filter attains the maximum efficiency only after a film of dirt is deposited on the surface of the filter insert,
avoid replacing pre-filter insert and micro-filter insert at the same time. First change pre-filter insert and then
after 250 running hours change micro-filter insert.
3) The Routine Maintenance schedule is meant to serve as a guide only for normal fuel storage and engine
operating conditions. Replacement of inserts may have to be made earlier than the recommended period.
iv) Discharge the dust vacuator valve 1 by pressing apart the lips of the vacuation slot, applying pressure as
2) Rapping, Tapping or Pounding dust out of them is dangerous. Severe damage to the filter will result !
Fig.5.4/5
Fig.5.4/6

Clean the vacuation slot time to time.
? Remove any cakes of dust by pressing together the upper part of the valve.
• Make sure that vacuator valve is not damaged, if required change it. Also, check the condition of cup joint sealing,
replace if necessary.
v) Cleaning of Filter Element :
Cleaning of filter element is to be done only when a restriction indicator shows a red signal even after the engine is
stopped. For cleaning proceed as follows -
I) Loosen the mounting band of the dust cup, remove the wing nut of the element and take out the outer element
for checking and cleaning.
ii) Use a damp cloth to wipe out all excess dust in the air cleaner. (Fig 5.4/6). Similarly clean the dust from the end
cover.
Fig.5.4/6
iii) Thorough cleaning of the fitter element with compressed air is recommended. Clean the element from inside to
outside using the pressurized air pipe. (Fig 5.4/7)
1) Too much air pressure can break the filter paper and destroy the element.
(Max. Air Pressure 3.5 kg/cm )

Fig.5.4/7
Fig.5.4/8
iv) Carefully check new or properly cleaned element for damage before installing. Conduct a light test by passing the
light through element as shown in Fig 5.4/8. If there is any crack in the element, the light will pass through it. In
that case replace the element.
27
v) Inspect the rubber sealing ring at the end cover of the element. In case the seal is damaged, replace the filter
element. (Fig 5.4/9)
Fig.5.4/9
vi) The inner element (safety element) is not to be removed, when the main element is removed for cleaning
/ replacement. It should be replaced by a new safety element after every three changes of the main element.
Fig.5.4/10
vii) Replace the cleaned or new element in the air cleaner body and reinstall the end cover, making sure it seals
360° around the air cleaner body. Reset the restriction indicator by pressing the button at the top.
In no event use petrol (gasoline) or any hot liquid for washing the
filter element of Dry type air cleaner.

Modules are fitted with the CAN interface as standard and are capable of receiving
engine data from engine CAN controllers compliant with the CAN standard.
CAN enabled engine controllers monitor the engine’s operating parameters such as
engine speed, oil pressure, engine temperature (among others) in order to closely
monitor and control the engine. The industry standard communications interface (CAN)
transports data gathered by the engine controller interface. This allows generator controllers such as the DSE6100
series to access these engine parameters with no physical connection to the sensor device.
NOTE:- For further details for connections to CAN enabled engines and the functions available with
each engine type, refer to the manual Electronic Engines and DSE Wiring. Part No. 057-004

NOTE:- . It is VERY important that terminal 12 (sensor common) is soundly connected to an earth point
on the ENGINE BLOCK, not within the control panel, and must be a sound electrical connection to the
sensor bodies. This connection MUST NOT be used to provide an earth connection for other terminals or
devices. The simplest way to achieve this is to run a SEPERATE earth connection from the system earth
star point, to terminal 12 directly, and not use this earth for other connections.
NOTE:- . If you use PTFE insulating tape on the sensor thread when using earth return sensors, ensure
you do not insulate the entire thread, as this will prevent the sensor body from being earthed via the engine
block.
NOTE:- Screened cable must be used for connecting the Magnetic Pickup, ensuring that the screen is
earthed at one end ONLY.

5.4 CONTROLS
Stop / Reset
This button places the module into its Stop/Reset mode. This will clear any alarm conditions for which
the triggering criteria have been removed. If the engine is running and the module is in Stop mode, the
module will automatically instruct the changeover device to unload the generator (‘Close Generator’
becomes inactive (if used)). The fuel supply de-energises and the engine comes to a standstill.
Should a remote start signal be present while operating in this mode, a remote start will not occur.
Manual
This mode allows manual control of the generator functions. Once in Manual mode the module will
respond to the start button, start the engine, and run off load. If the engine is running off-load in
the Manual mode and a remote start signal becomes present, the module will automatically instruct
the changeover device to place the generator on load (‘Close Generator’ becomes active (if used)).
Upon removal of the remote start signal, the generator remains on load until either selection of the
‘STOP/RESET’ or ‘AUTO’ modes.
For further details, please see the more detailed description of ‘Manual operation’ elsewhere in this
manual.
Auto
This button places the module into its ‘Automatic’ mode. This mode allows the module to control the
function of the generator automatically. The module will monitor the remote start input and mains
supply status and once a start request is made, the set will be automatically started and placed on
load.
Upon removal of the starting signal, the module will automatically transfer the load from the generator
and shut the set down observing the stop delay timer and cooling timer as necessary. The module will
then await the next start event. For further details, please see the more detailed description of ‘Auto
operation’ elsewhere in this manual.
Test (DSE7220/DSE7320 only)
This button places the module into its ‘Test’ mode. This allows an on load test of the generator.
Once in Test mode the module will respond to the start button, start the engine, and run on load.
For further details, please see the more detailed description of ‘Test operation’ elsewhere in this
manual.
Start
This button is only active in STOP/RESET or MANUAL mode.
Pressing this button in manual or test mode will start the engine and run off load (manual) or on load
(test).
Pressing this button in STOP/RESET mode will turn on the CAN engine ECU (when correctly
configured and fitted to a compatible engine ECU)
Mute / Lamp Test
This button silences the audible alarm if it is sounding and illuminates all of the LEDs as a lamp test
feature/
When correctly configured and fitted to a compatible engine ECU, pressing this button in
STOP/RESET mode after pressing the START button (to power the ECU) will cancel any
“passive” alarms on the engine ECU.
SCROLL
This buttons scrolls through the instrument display pages

6 OPERATION
6.1 STOP MODE
STOP mode is activated by pressing the button.
In STOP mode, the module will remove the generator from load (if necessary) before stopping the engine if it is
already running.
If the engine does not stop when requested, the FAIL TO STOP alarm is activated (subject to the setting of the Fail
to Stop timer). To detect the engine at rest the following must occur :
• Engine speed is zero as detected by the Magnetic Pickup or CANbus ECU (depending upon module variant).
• Generator frequency must be zero.
• Oil pressure switch must be closed to indicate low oil pressure (MPU version only)
When the engine has stopped, it is possible to send configuration files to the module from DSE Configuration Suite
PC software and to enter the Front Panel Editor to change parameters.
Any latched alarms that have been cleared will be reset when STOP mode is entered.
The engine will not be started when in STOP mode. If remote start signals are given, the input is ignored until AUTO
mode is entered.
When configured to do so, When left in STOP mode for five minutes with no presses of the fascia buttons, the
module enters low power mode. To ‘wake’ the module, press the button or any other fascia control button.
NOTE:- ECU Override function is only applicable to the CAN variant of the 6100 series controller.
NOTE:- Depending upon system design, the ECU may be powered or unpowered when the module is in
STOP mode. ECU override is only applicable if the ECU is unpowered when in STOP mode.
When the ECU powered down (as is normal when in STOP mode), it is not possible to read the diagnostic trouble
codes or instrumentation. Additionally, it is not possible to use the engine manufacturers’ configuration tools.
As the ECU is usually unpowered when the engine is not running, it must be turned on manually as follows :
This is also useful if the engine manufacturer’s tools need to be connected to the engine, for instance to configure the
engine as the ECU needs to be powered up to perform this operation.

DSE Model 6000 Series Control and Instrumentation System Operators Manual
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 auto mode by pressing the pushbutton. The icon is displayed to indicate Auto Mode operation if no
alarms are present.
Auto mode will allow the generator to operate fully automatically, starting and stopping as required with no user
intervention.
To allow for ‘false’ start requests, the start delay timer begins.
Should all start requests be removed during the start delay timer, the unit will return to a stand-by state.
If a start request is still present at the end of the start delay timer, the fuel relay is energised and the engine will be
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 3000 series configuration software).
Additionally, rising oil pressure 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.

DSE Model 6000 Series Control & Instrumentation System Operators Manual
Once the engine is running and all starting timers have expired, the animated icon is displayed.
NOTE:-The load transfer signal remains inactive until the Oil Pressure has risen. This prevents
excessive wear on the engine.
If all start requests are removed, the stopping sequence will begin.
The return delay timer operates to ensure that the starting request has been permanently removed and isn’t just a
short term removal. Should another start request be made during the cooling down period, the set will return on load.
If there are no starting requests at the end of the return delay timer, the load is removed from the generator to the
mains supply and the cooling timer is initiated.
The cooling timer allows the set to run off load and cool sufficiently before being stopped. This is particularly
important where turbo chargers are fitted to the engine.

switching devices. Module mode is active when the button is pressed.
To begin the starting sequence, press the button. If ‘protected start’ is disabled, the start sequence begins
immediately.
If ‘Protected Start’ is enabled , the icon is displayed to indicate Manual mode and the manual LED flashes. The
button must be pressed once more to begin the start sequence.
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

In manual mode, the load is not transferred to the generator unless a ‘loading request’ is made.
A loading request can come from a number of sources.
NOTE:-The load transfer signal remains inactive until the Oil Pressure has risen. This prevents
excessive wear on the engine.
Once the load has been transferred to the generator, it will not be automatically removed. To manually transfer the
load back to the mains either:
• Press the auto mode button to return to automatic mode. The set will observe all auto mode start
requests and stopping timers before beginning the Auto mode stopping sequence.

9 COMMISSIONING
9.1.1 PRE-COMMISSIONING
Before the system is started, it is recommended that the following checks are made:-
10.1. The unit is adequately cooled and all the wiring to the module is of a standard and rating compatible with the
system. Check all mechanical parts are fitted correctly and that all electrical connections (including earths) are
sound.
10.2. The unit DC supply is fused and connected to the battery and that it is of the correct polarity.
10.3. The Emergency Stop input is wired to an external normally closed switch connected to DC positive.
NOTE:- If Emergency Stop feature is not required, link this input to the DC Positive. The module will not
operate unless either the Emergency Stop is fitted correctly OR terminal 3 is connected to DC positive.
10.4. To check the start cycle operation, take appropriate measures to prevent the engine from starting (disable the
operation of the fuel solenoid). After a visual inspection to ensure it is safe to proceed, connect the battery
supply. Select “MANUAL” and then press “START” the unit start sequence will commence.
10.5. The starter will engage and operate for the pre-set crank period. After the starter motor has attempted to
start the engine for the pre-set number of attempts, the LCD will display ‘Failed to start. Select the
STOP/RESET position to reset the unit.
10.6. Restore the engine to operational status (reconnect the fuel solenoid). Select “MANUAL” and then press
“START”. This time the engine should start and the starter motor should disengage automatically. If not then
check that the engine is fully operational (fuel available, etc.) and that the fuel solenoid is operating. The
engine should now run up to operating speed. If not, and an alarm is present, check the alarm condition for
validity, then check input wiring. The engine should continue to run for an indefinite period. It will be possible at
this time to view the engine and alternator parameters - refer to the ‘Description of Controls’ section of this
manual.
10.7. Select “AUTO” on the front panel, the engine will run for the pre-set cooling down period, then stop. The
generator should stay in the standby mode. If not check that there is not a signal present on the Remote start
input.
10.8. Initiate an automatic start by supplying the remote start signal (if configured). The start sequence will
commence and the engine will run up to operational speed. Once the generator is available a load transfer will
take place (if configured), the Generator will accept the load. If not, check the wiring to the Generator
Contactor Coil (if used). Check the Warming timer has timed out.
10.9. Remove the remote start signal. The return sequence will begin. After the pre-set time, the generator is
unloaded. The generator will then run for the pre-set cooling down period, then shutdown into its standby
mode.
10.10. Set the module internal clock/calendar to ensure correct operation of the scheduler and event logging
functions. For details of this procedure see section entitled Front Panel Configuration – Editing the date and
time.
10.11. If, despite repeated checking of the connections between the 3000 series controller and the customer’s
system, satisfactory operation cannot be achieved, then the customer is requested to contact the factory for
further advice on:-

10 FAULT FINDING
Check that the oil pressure switch or sensor is indicating low oil pressure to the
controller. Depending upon configuration, the set will not start if oil pressure is
not low.
Pre-heat inoperative Check wiring to engine heater plugs. Check battery supply. Check battery
supply is present on the Pre-heat output of module. Check pre-heat
configuration is correct.
Starter motor inoperative Check wiring to starter solenoid. Check battery supply. Check battery supply is
present on the Starter output of module. Ensure that the Emergency Stop input
is at Positive. Ensure oil pressure switch or sensor is indicating the “low oil
pressure” state to the 6000 series controller.
Engine runs but generator will not Check Warm up timer has timed out. Ensure generator load inhibit signal is not
take load present on the module inputs. Check connections to the switching device.
Note that the set will not take load in manual mode unless there is an active
remote start on load signal.

When editing a configuration using the Front Panel Editor, be sure to press the
Save button to save the change before moving to another item or exiting
the Front Panel Editor.
Check that the output configuration is correct to drive the load switch device
and that all connections are correct.
Remember that the set will not take load in manual mode unless a remote start
on load input is present.
Inaccurate generator The 3000 series controller is true RMS measuring so gives more accurate
measurements on controller display when compared with an ‘average’ meter such as an analogue panel
display meter or some lower specified digital multimeters.
Accuracy of the controller is better than 1% of full scale. Ie Gen volts full scale
is 333V ph-n so accuracy is ±3.33V (1% of 333V).
NOTE:- The above fault finding is provided as a guide check-list only. As the module can be
configured to provide a wide range of different features, always refer to the source of your module
configuration if in doubt.
