OVERALL TROUBLESHOOTING and REPLACEMENT PART’S PROCEDUREs

As per table and flowchart above, the ERROR TYPEs can be divided mainly in 3 group:

1) Purely mechanical (Air, Fuel/Oil circuit);


2) Electrical (devices on board of the engine);
3) Electrical (related to Control Panel/AMF25) or cabling.

HOW TO ACCESS THE ENGINE

Follow these procedures to access to the engine:

Model: PD50S

1) Turn off the Genset switch from the Power Supply Module, unplug the cables from the Genset and press the
Emergency Stop Button.
2) Unscrew the bolts which fix the right lateral panel and remove it (Fig. 1).

Fig. 1 – Right lateral panel

3) Unscrew the bolts which fix the frontal panel to the Genset and remove it. Then, unscrew the bolts which fix the
black upper panel to the red one (Fig. 2).

Fig. 2 – Black (upper) and red (lower) frontal panels

4) Unscrew the bolts which fix the left lateral panel and remove it (Fig. 3).

PDC_2019_019 Rev. 1.0 Page 11


OVERALL TROUBLESHOOTING and REPLACEMENT PART’S PROCEDUREs

Fig. 3 – Left lateral panel


Perform the following tasks to restore the initial configuration (“normal mode” config):

1) Put the lateral panels in place and screw its bolts back on (see previous step 2, as reference).
2) Release the Emergency Stop Button, plug the power and the serial cables back on the Genset and turn on the Genset
switch from the Power Supply Module.
3) At the end of each task, check the proper configuration of the Genset: Emergency Stop Button released, key turned
on “STOP” position, cables properly connected, as shown in Fig. 4:

Fig. 4 – Genset PD50S - “Normal mode” configuration

Model: Voyager 4010

1) Turn off all the Isolation Points of the IBIS system: one is on the PSU Control Module; the other ones are on the
Power Supply Unit front side; turn off also Genset RCD from Circuit Breakers panel (Fig. 5);

PDC_2019_019 Rev. 1.0 Page 12


OVERALL TROUBLESHOOTING and REPLACEMENT PART’S PROCEDUREs

Fig. 5 – Genset RCD

2) Open the generator rotating panel, unlocking the two metal locks (Fig. 6);

Fig. 6 – Genset rotating panel

3) If needed, remove the roof cover (solar panel): in this way you have a full view and access to the top and rear side of
the Voyager generator.

PDC_2019_019 Rev. 1.0 Page 13


OVERALL TROUBLESHOOTING and REPLACEMENT PART’S PROCEDUREs

GENERAL NOTE

Unless otherwise indicated (Model: PD50S or


Voyager4010), the procedures are valid for both versions
of the engines.

PURELY MECHANICAL OPERATIONS

This section describes purely mechanical interventions, such as:

1) Replacement of:
a. MOTOR OIL AND OIL FILTER;
b. FUEL FILTER;
c. AIR FILTER.

2) Check for and resolution of:


d. AIR PURGE FROM FUEL CIRCUIT;
e. CLOGGED UP EXHAUST MUFFLER.

PDC_2019_019 Rev. 1.0 Page 14


OVERALL TROUBLESHOOTING and REPLACEMENT PART’S PROCEDUREs

5.1. MOTOR OIL AND OIL FILTER

5.1.1. GENERAL INFORMATION

It’s necessary to replace the oil filter after the first 20 hours of
operations and the motor oil after the first 50 hours of operations.

Always use oil with suitable viscosity for the temperature where the engine is being operated. Use the chart reported in Fig.
7 when choosing your engine oil. The oil tank has a capacity of 1.1 L. Besides, use motor oil that meets or exceeds the following
guidelines and classifications:

• API (American Petroleum Institute) services categories CD or higher;


• ACEA (European Automobile Manufacturers Association) services categories E-3, E-4 and E-5;
• JSO (Japanese Automobile Standards Organization) services category DH-1.

Fig. 7 – Oil chart

WARNING! SUDDEN MOVEMENT HAZARD!


Allow the engine to warm up for at least 5 minutes to allow the engine
idle speed to return to normal before engaging the transmission or any
PTO (Power Take-Off) attachments. Engaging the transmission or PTO at
an elevated engine speed could result in an expected movement of the
equipment.

5.1.2. ENGINE OIL REFILLING AND OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT

A recipient for waste oil, engine oil and a spare oil filter are required. Below the procedure step by step:

1) Stop the generator and isolate it, turning off the GENSET switch on the PSU front door and the Genset Isolation Point
switch;
2) Make sure the IBIS-Rover is on a levelled surface;

PDC_2019_019 Rev. 1.0 Page 15


OVERALL TROUBLESHOOTING and REPLACEMENT PART’S PROCEDUREs

3) Remove the oil dipstick to allow the engine oil to drain more easily (Fig. 8Error! Reference source not found.);

5.5. CLOGGED UP EXHAUST MUFFLER


Model: Voyager4010 only

Among the causes that prevent the engine from starting there is the possibility that the lower exhaust muffler is obstructed;
The carbon builds up could possibly be due to the engine not running hot enough to effectively burn off the carbon in the
exhaust.
Generally, before that generator failure has been reported, generator's underspeed error occurred. Operator could also
witness white smoke emitting from the air intake during attempted start-ups. Meantime, the lower exhaust emits nearly
zero emissions during attempted start-ups.
These events are suspicious that something could be blocking air flow.
The main cause can be traced back to a wrong diesel, with a high sulphur content.

Fig. 16 – Lower exhaust muffler

To access the lower muffler is necessary to remove the entire Genset from its place. Refer to replacement procedure
PDC_2017_189 “RPL_GEN_Voyager generator replacement”.

Possible ways to inspect the muffler are:

• A visual inspect of the flexible joint (Fig. 17 - it needs to be dismounted);


• with the aid of an inspection camera;
• compare the weight with a brand new muffler (if available).

One of the common problems that can happen with the generator is the Genset low battery alarm activating during cranking:
the Genset not starting. The usual fix for this would be to change the cranking time in the settings from 6 to 10 seconds. At
the same time the user must change the Batt Alarm Delay time to something longer than the cranking time you have entered.
An example is to change the Batt Alarm Delay to 12 seconds. This should allow the Genset a full 10 seconds of cranking time
to start: Low Batt alarms should not appear anymore.

Procedure

1) In the IBIS Controller, set the Genset operation on Manual. Leave the AMF25 supplied;
2) In the AMF25 press Page;
3) Select password and insert 0;
4) Select engine protect and check max crank time (default value is 6 seconds);
5) Change the value of battery undervolt to 8.0 (if it is not already that);
6) Change the value of battery volt delay to a value a bit greater of max crank time (for example put it at 10 seconds)
7) In the IBIS Controller, set the Genset operation on Automatic.

7.2. PROBLEM: GENSET ERROR 447 “SD RPMMEASFAIL”

This kind of error happens when the genset control panel read a RPM (revolutions per minute) value lower than 3000.

Troubleshooting

1) Start the genset through the starting key.


2) Read the RPM value on the control panel.
3) If the value is not “0” but the generator hiccups when it is started turn off the generator and:
a. Open the cap of the tank, wait a few seconds a close it again (check if the problem persists).
b. Change the oil filter (check if the problem persists).
c. Turn on the generator keeping the key in the start position for a longer time.
d. If this solve the problem, change the cranking time:
i. In the genset control panel press “page”.
ii. With the down arrow move the cursor to “engine params” and press “enter”.
iii. With the down arrow move the cursor to “max cranking time” and press “enter”.
iv. With the arrows change the value between 7 s and 10 s and press “enter” (the default value should
be 6 s).
v. Be sure that the value is changed in the “max cranking time” field.
2. If the value is “0” turn off the generator and:
a. Check if the “general switch” on the generator is turned on.
b. Check if the 220 V cable is connected to the generator and to the control panel.
c. Check if inside the control panel all the cables are connected.
d. With a tester verify the continuity of the circuit:

7.3. PROBLEM: MAINTENANCE WARNING

The maintenance warning is a message that appears every 250 running hours of the generator and indicates that the standard
maintenance has to be performed on the Genset (see the IBIS-FM maintenance manual). After the maintenance is performed
the warning has to be reset because it prevents the generator from starting.
