Be sure the handle (a) is in “pre-lubrication” position!

 Turn on the power supply switch(s).

 Switch on the engine control cabinet.
 Use the key Mode  to switch to PRP or RUN. If all conditions are ok, the electronic
engine controller turns to “Ready” and the Automatic pre-lubrication sequence begins
starting is effective after the automatic pre-lubrication sequence.
 As soon as the engine starts, the pre-lubrication pump stops.
Alarm list shows “Not lubricated” during the pre-lubrication sequence.
If the engine is not lubricated:
- Check the pressure in the manometer: must be 1 bar (14.5 psig) minimum.
- Check the handle (must be on pre-lubrication position).
The pre-lubrication sequence will begin automatically if the engine is on PRP or RUN
mode. Engine stopped, if you let the pump on pre-lubricating position, and the power
switch on “ON” position, the pre-lubrication sequence will restart automatically.

E - Operation ECO Version

Engine operation in use

Never carry out adjustments or repairs while the engine is running.
Keep away from all moving parts.
Keep all objects away from moving parts, so they could be violently projected.
Correct use is the key to maximum engine durability.

Do not wear baggy clothes or bracelets, necklaces etc... which could get caught in
the controls or other engine parts.

 Check engine oil pressure:

The oil pressure at rated speed must be at 5 ± 2 bars (72.5 ± 29 psi) at the engine
operating temperature.
 Check the whole engine.
 Check the sealing (tightness) of all circuits.
 Check the remote monitoring system.
 Let the engine warm up till it reaches its nominal operation temperature or use a
coolant pre-heating system (optional).
 Do not use the engine at full load until the water temperature has reached normal
operation value

Do not exceed a speed of 1000rpm until coolant temperature reaches 60 °C (140 °F).

Coolant temperature stabilized: 80 ± 5 °C (176 ± 9 °F)

Check regularly all instruments.
Note daily the engine set parameters in the register’s book.
Compare these values with the operating specifications featured in the Engine test
reading sheet.
Take any necessary measures if values differ greatly from the standard.
Partial or no load operating
No or partial load operating periods may cause an increase of oil consumption and
premature wear of the liners.
Whenever possible, apply a load exceeding 50% at least once an hour.
Do not stop an engine that has been running at no load or partial load for over 30 minutes
without first applying a load exceeding 50%.

As soon as the nominal temperature is reached, the engine can be used optimally
within its performance limits without restrictions in time.

Rep Button Function

1 SEL This button is used to “activate” the control station - station transfer.
Button Press and release the ACTIVE button 2 times at the INACTIVE station in
order to transfer control.
Transfer is only possible if the speed command of the station is below the
one of the control station (quick bips).
2 WARM / SYNC The two functions of this button depends on control head handle position:
Button 1) when BOTH control handles are in the neutral shift position, this button
is used to activate / deactivate the shift function,
2) when BOTH control handles are in the ahead gear and throttle setting is
above idle, the automatic synchronization function will operate - any
movement of the Port handle (Port = lead engine) will automatically control
the Starboard engine speed also.
3 SLOW Mode This is activated when the ACTIVE and WARM button are pressed at the
same time and if the 2 handles are in neutral mode. Engine speed is limited
to 50% of max WOT with full handle movement.
4 Neutral This LED will be on when the shift is being commanded to be in the neutral
Led shift position.
5 ACTIVE Station This LED will be on whenever the control head is the Active station (in
Led command) and blinks during transfer.
6 WARM / SYNC This LED will be on whenever the control head is in WARM or SYNC mode.

E 63 - Loss of remote control

In normal mode the speed request is sent by the bridge lever, this lever gives a 4-20mA
signal or is directly plugged to the CAN bus according to the kind of lever.
If an alarm reports the loss of the lever, this alarm is “fls Rem Speed”.
In this case the lever is no longer active and it is necessary to shift to manual mode
From every page of display, press the “speed” button, the display becomes.

Manual mode
The “rem speed” button is lightened in red which means that the remote control is no
longer active. The “man speed” button is lightened in green which means that the
emergency control is activated.
The “+” and “-“ buttons are efficient and will allow to increase or decrease the engine speed.
To change engine speed, press “+” or “-“ once so engine speed increases or decreases.
Press the same buttons “+” or “-“ a second time to stabilise at the desired speed.
To maintain the engine speed press the same button a second time.
When you first press a button, it turns into green (it allows to see the rotation direction).
If the two buttons are pressed, the button “-“ is in charge and the engine speed decreases.
The speed limits are rated speed and idle.

NOTE
With a bus CAN connected handler, in case of default as described above, the gearbox
must be manually controlled on the gearbox.
The emergency mode can be activated by pressing the "Man Speed" button, even without
loss of remote control.

Back to normal mode

a) 4-20mA handler
When the remote lever is active again, acknowledge the fault (Fls Rem Speed) on the
alarms page then go back on the “Speed” page by pressing the “Speed” button. The “Rem
Speed” turns from red to off which means the remote lever is ready again.

To avoid sudden changes in speed when the control is back to the bridge station,
adjust the two controls to similar values before pressing “Rem Speed”.

b) CAN handler
The whole system must be initialized for the handle to be functional back again.
Set the handler on neutral mode.
After maintenance is done, turn the system on again.
The handler is functional again only if "Rem Speed" is green and "Man Speed" is off.

E 70 - Filters
E 71 - Switchable fuel filters
While engine is running, the two fuel filters are used.

“Running” position “Isolated” position

The fuel filters heads have two positions: “Running” and “Isolated” position.
The disposable fuel filters are located on the Portside of the engine.
While engine is running, the two filters are used. In the case of clogging, you have to
replace the two filters. You can replace them one by one while engine is still running,
reduce the engine speed to 1200rpm (see procedure here under), but it is strongly
recommended to stop the engine (see replacing procedure in F 31 chapter - Fuel filters
replacement)
Be careful to fuel's projections when you change the filters.

The filling is made by the external holes of the filter to be sure that all the fuel is
filtered.

For every Cartridge:

 Turn the fuel filter head to “Isolated” position (using a 17 wrench).
 Remove the filter cartridge with the appropriate wrench.
 Clean the seal seating.
 Fill the new cartridge with fuel (See picture and CAUTION).
 Oil the seal of the new cartridge.
 Screw manually until contact with the seal is made.
 Tighten the cartridge by a ¾ turn maximum.
 Set the fuel filter head to “Running” position (using a 17 wrench).
Check for leaks.

E 90 – Heating systems
During pre-heating sequence, do not touch the pre-heater, risk of burns.

E 91 – Air heater (optional)

If equipped, an air heating system is automatically activated to facilitate starting in cold
conditions: engine temperature or ambient temperature lower than 5°C (41°F).

Air heater

Note:
Battery voltage must be higher than 18VDC.

Air heating light turns on during engine air heating phase. It is recommended to wait until
this light turns off to start the engine (maximum duration of the light: 30s).

Air heating light

The pre-heating phases: (Automatically)

 Reading phase: Turn the switch to “ON”, the pre-heater reads the reference
temperature during 1 s.
 Pre-heating phase: push the “Start” button, the pre-heating phase begins during
30 seconds if the temperature is lower than 5°C (41 °F).
 Cranking with heating phase: heating phase during start, the heating phase only
stops when the engine is running, or the engine speed is lower than 100rpm
 Post heating phase: The heating phase can continue when the engine is running,
time duration between 10 and 30 seconds depending of the reference temperature.
 End of heating phase: the air heating light turns off.
Note:
The pre-heater may be active after running during 30 seconds.

E 92 – Water heater (optional)

Never start preheater if the cooling system is not completely full.

Note:
Battery voltage must be higher than 18VDC.

The water preheating phases:

The heater can be put into service a few hours before starting the engine, (engine stopped,
with the switch in ON position) in order to keep the engine permanently at the required
temperature. This ensures an easy full power start whatever the ambient temperature and
avoids cold start mechanical damage.

 Turn on the power supply breakers (“QMAIN“, “QEMMERG“, “QD“ and “QG“) to
switch the cabinet on
 The light "POWER ON" is on (13)
 Turn on the power supply breaker of the preheater
 Turn switch “Preheater” (6) to “ON” position from engine cabinet (master version),
the preheating is on automatic mode.
 During preheating phase, touch the inlet and outlet pipes of heater at regular
intervals (up to an hour). The outlet pipe should be warm and the inlet pipe
relatively cold. If the heater gets hot before the outlet pipe, the flow is not correct.

Note:
Duration of preheating depends on the ambient temperature in the engine room and the
coolant temperature, it stops when needed temperature is reached.
The preheater pump will keep on working till engine starts or preheater is switched to OFF.

Temperature setting
You can adjust the needed temperature between 0°C to 80°C (32°F to 176°F). It is
adjusted by manufacturer at 50°C (122°F).
 Unscrew the screw cap on the lateral protective cover of the heater
 Use a screwdriver to set the regulation thermostat to the required temperature
 Screw back the cap.

Regulation

Reset of Safety thermostat

In case of overheating (due to a lack of water in the circuit for example), the safety
thermostat cuts power to the heating element. After checking the heater, the thermostat
must be manually reset. To do this, switch “Off” the preheater unscrew the plug located
under the base of the heater and push the button to reset the thermostat
