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:
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);
2) Open the generator rotating panel, unlocking the two metal locks (Fig. 6);
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.
GENERAL NOTE
1) Replacement of:
a. MOTOR OIL AND OIL FILTER;
b. FUEL FILTER;
c. AIR FILTER.
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:
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;
3) Remove the oil dipstick to allow the engine oil to drain more easily (Fig. 8Error! Reference source not found.);
5) Remove the drain plug (Fig. 8), let oil come out and once finished, close the plug again;
6) Remove oil filter retaining bolt, pull the oil filter cap out and remove the oil filter;
7) Clean the oil filter or replace it with a new one if damaged;
8) Insert the oil filter in its housing again, pay attention the oil filter cap is fully seated;
9) Install and tighten the oil filter retaining bolt;
10) Add new motor oil;
11) Wait one minute and check oil level;
12) Add more oil if necessary but don’t exceed the max level;
13) Fully reinsert the oil dipstick and tighten it;
14) Turn on genset isolation point switch and the genset switch on the PSU and test the generator.
Only use the recommended engine oil. Other engine oils may affect
warranty coverage, cause internal engine components to cease and
shorten the engine life;
Prevent dirt and debris from contaminating the engine oil. Carefully clean
the oil cap /dipstick and the surrounding area before removing the cap;
NEVER mix different types of engine oil. This may adversely affect the
lubricating properties of the engine oil;
NEVER overfill. Overfilling may result in white exhaust smoke, engine
overspeed or internal damage;
ALWAYS keep the oil level between the upper and lower lines in the oil.
1) Stop the generator and isolate it, turning off the GENSET switch on the PSU front door and the GENSET Isolation
Point switch;
2) Place an approved container under the fuel filter to collect possible fuel spills;
Model: Voyager4010
1) Stop the generator and isolate it, turning off the GENSET switch on the PSU front door and the Genset Isolation Point
switch;
2) Open the generator sliding panel, unlocking the two metal locks;
3) Open the air filter cover, removing the #4 Philips bolts (Fig. 10);
4) Clean or replace the air filter (Fig. 11Error! Reference source not found.)
Model: PD50S

If there is the need to remove the air from the fuel circuit is necessary to push the black button (Fig. 14) to activate the primer
pump. Wait until hearing a bleeding sound from fuel filter. If the filter is of the transparent type (as it normally is) you can
also see the fuel flows in the filter.
Model: PD50S
NOTE: in standard mode, the fuel pump is automatically controlled, when required.
With engine ON, to purge any air in the diesel fuel circuit, just loosen the bolt circled in red in Fig. 15. Re-tighten the screw
as soon as the diesel fuel starts to come out.
With engine OFF, loosen the bolt (circled in red in Fig. 15) disconnect the cable of the pressure switch and switch on the ON
position the generator’s key (“cranking”). Re-tighten the screw as soon as you see the diesel fuel comes out.
Perform/check the proper configuration of the Genset: Emergency Stop Button released, key turned on “STOP” position,
cables properly connected.
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.
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”.

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.
This kind of error happens when the genset control panel read a RPM (revolutions per minute) value lower than 3000.
Troubleshooting
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.
Troubleshooting
To make the warning disappear you have to follow the steps below in the AMF25 menu:
Troubleshooting
1. Open the I/O interfaces panel placed on the rear side of the Ibis Rover;
2. Locate the TRAILER SUPPLY and remove the cable plugged to the socket;
3. With a multimeter measure the DC voltage between the two pins. It has to be around 12 Vdc;
4. Check if the GENSET Isolation Point, placed on the front side of the Rover, is turned on;
7. Remove the 20 A yellow fuse and check it with a multimeter if it works or not. Put it again in place;
8. Measure the voltage between the two loop housing. The voltage has to be around 12 Vdc.
9. Remove the 9-poles connector place on the left upper corner of the electronic board of the generator;
10. Measure the voltage between pins 1-2: it has to be around 12 Vdc;
11. Open the whole panel of the I/O interfaces using an allen key;
12. Locate the GEN C00 connection in the internal compartment of the PSU, just on the rear side of the Genset module;
13. Unplug theese connectors and measure the voltage on the plug that comes from the generator: the voltage between
the pins has to be around 12 Vdc (same order as figure above);
14. Check with a multimeter the fuse F8 placed on the rear side of the Genset module.
MISCELLANEOUS

This procedure describes how to replace a Voyager4010 generator in the IBIS-Rover/IBIS-ArcSAR Power Supply Unit (PSU);
1. Turn off all the Isolation Points of the IBIS system: one is on the PSU Control Module; the others are on the Supply
Unit front side; turn off also Genset RCD from Circuit Breaker panel;
2. Access the batteries compartment placed next to the generator sliding panel. With an Allen key, unscrew the two
screws and open the panel pulling the top side downwards
3. Pull out the batteries drawer, unscrewing the security bolt;
4. Disconnect the blue and red connectors to isolate Genset Battery.
5. With an Allen key, unscrew all the fasteners that are holding the roof cover above the Genset compartment, together,
if present, with the solar panel;
6. Lift the roof cover and if the solar panels are present, disconnect the two cable connectors, pressing the wings where
indicated;
7. Remove carefully the roof cover: in this way you have a full view and access to the top and rear side of the Voyager
generator;
8. Remove the Genset front panel, just below the generator sliding panel;
9. With an Allen key, disconnect the exhaust pipe tube unscrewing only the two lateral bolts.
10. If present, disconnect the fuel pump bleeding button, placed just above the AC Breaker switch;
a. With a Philips screwdriver, remove the two fixing screws of the transparent protection board;
b. Remove the protection: two wires are still plugged to the generator frame;
c. Unplug the wire that is connected to the generator electrical board;
d. With a racket with a 13 mm head, remove the bolt of the battery cables and remove the other wire coming
to the fuel pump bleeding button. Now the support of the black button should be completely free;
11. Now it is necessary to disconnect the wiring that enters into the generator from its left side:
a. Disconnect the 9-pin connector that is at the end of the cable coming from the Power Supply Unit (GENC00);
b. Disconnect the 4 cables (two red ones and two black one) coming from the battery;
c. Disconnect the cables on the left of the mammoth connector, those are the ends of the AC cable going to
the Power Supply Unit (AC0G03);
d. If the generator is equipped with a Wait-to-start glow, there is an additional cable coming out from the
motor and reaching a box placed just below the system Power Supply Unit (just follow that cable path).
Open that box and disconnect the glow cable in order to let the generator free of be lifted;
12. For safety purpose, put some isolation tape on the wire ends;
13. Remove the wirings you disconnect from the shell of the generator, letting them pass out of the hole on the left side
of the generator frame;
14. If present remove the white plastic cover below the AC Breaker switch (red button) using a flat screwdriver.
15. Drain out all the fuel from the tank opening the valve of the black tube using a tank.
16. Take note of the order of the fuel pipes: one is the INLET and the other one is the OUTLET; you may put some tape for
better recognize them;
17. With a flat screwdriver, unscrew the hose clamps that fix the fuel tubes:
18. Hold the two ends of each pipe and separate them: the connection may be a bit hard so you may detach them
vigorously;
19. With a screwdriver, open the back panel of the Voyager generator;
20. There are four locking nuts fixing the Voyager generator to its metallic housing, two are placed on the front side (first
four images below), the others are placed on the rear side (last two images below): remove those nuts with a racket;
21. There are two sockets where you can knot belts or hooks: using a crane with hook or a forklift lift the generator from
its position and remove it from the system;
22. With the same forklift or crane, lift the new Voyager generator and insert it in the generator housing, paying attention
to align the generator base holes with the supports mounted on the damping pads;
23. Fasten again the nuts on the four threaded support studs, in order to fix the generator to the damping pads;
24. Reconnect first the exhaust pipe (see below), then the fuel tubes, paying attention to the order (INLET – OUTLET),
cables and connectors and finally fix the four pedestal supports screw.
25. Reconnect the fuel tubes, paying attention to the order (INLET – OUTLET[RP1]),
26. Reconnect the wirings to the left side of the generator;
27. Reconnect and mount the bleeding fuel pump button;
28. Fix the four pedestal supports screws;
29. Follow the Generator first setup guide on IBIS Rover User Guide: fill the fuel tank and check for the proper oil level: fill
it if need refill with SAE 15W40 oil.
30. Check if the red switch placed under the black button is ON position
31. Drain air from the fuel circuit: push the black button to activate a pump primer. Wait until hearing a bleeding sound
from fuel filter.
32. Reconnect Genset battery then turn ON all the isolation points switches and RCD Genset Switch, then turn SYSTEM
and AC INPUT switches ON.
33. Test the Generator from the AMF25 (manual start): turn on the GENSET switch on the PSU Control Module: the AMF25
control panel will be switched on; - on the AMF25 control panel, push the green button START in the display a
countdown will be shown: wait the end of it; once the countdown is ended, push the button I/O (close the GCB) on
the right: check if orange Battery LED light up.
34. Test the Generator from Controller (Manual mode): open Last acquisition session, go on Supply Control panel, check
if POWER Generator is enabled (ON) from Settings menu, switch on Manual Mode and click on START ENGINE. After
the countdown the genset has to start (Running) and output power has to be around 600W with System Battery Status
Charging and orange Battery LED light up.
35. Re-mount generator frontal panel and the cover roof on the top of the Power Unit.
