4 Operating instructions
4.1 Before starting
– With the generator standing level, check the
engine oil level and top up if necessary. The oil
level must be near to, but not exceed the high mark
on the engine oil level dipstick.
– Check the coolant level in the expansion tank of
the engine cooling system. The coolant level must
be near to the FULL mark. Add coolant if
necessary.
– Drain any water and sediment from the fuel pre-
filter. Check the fuel level and top up if necessary.
It is recommended to fill the tank after the day’s
operation to prevent water vapor in a nearly empty
tank from condensing.
– Drain leaking fluid from the frame.
– Check the vacuum indicator of the air filter. If the
red part shows completely, replace the filter
element.
– Press the dust evacuator of the air filter to remove
dust.
– Check the generator for leakage, tightness of wire
terminals, etc. Correct if necessary.
– Check that circuit breaker Q600 is switched off.
– Check that no circuit breakes have tripped and that
the emergency stop is in the OUT position.
– Check that the load is switched off.
– Check that the earth fault protection (FS1) has not
tripped (reset if necessary).
4.2 Operating and setting
Qc1011™
4.2.1 Manual operation
NOTE: If a digital input configured to 'panel lock' is
active, changing operating modes will not be
possible. Viewing the instruments and event
logs is NOT affected by panel lock.
Manual mode allows the operator to start and stop the
genset manually and, if required, change the state of
the load switching devices. Manual mode is active
when the STOP button is pressed.
4.2.1.1 Waiting in manual mode
To begin the starting sequence, press the START
button.
– If 'protected start' is disabled, the start sequence
begins immediately.
– If 'Protected Start' is enabled, the MANUAL
mode icon is displayed to indicate manual mode
and the manual LED flashes.
The START button must be pressed once more to
begin the start sequence.
In your own interest, always strictly
observe all relevant safety
instructions.
Do not operate the generator in
excess of the limitations mentioned
in the Technical Specifications.
Local rules concerning the setting
up of low voltage power installations
(below 1000 V) must be respected
when connecting site distribution
panels, switch gear or loads to the
generator.
At each start-up and at any time a
new load is connected, the earthing
and protections (GB trip and earth
leakage relay) of the generator must
be verified. Earthing must be done
either by the earthing rod or, if
available, by an existing, suitable
earthing installation. The protective
system against excessive contact
voltage is not effective unless a
suitable earthing is made.
