Technical information

INFORMATION
12 May 2010 / M-SC3.5 / EN
is standard included in the delivery of the generating set.
Refer to the separate operating manual of the MasterView
Easy for operation instructions.
2.5.4 Battery charger
There is an extra winding in the alternator generating 4
Amp 12 V. This current is rectified to charge the battery.
Both current and voltage are regulated.
2.5.5 Alarms and shut down
In the event of malfunctioning this will be indicated by the
failure LED (see figure 3) details will be shown on the
display of the MasterView Easy and the engine will be shut
down. There are several functions guarded such as: oil
pressure, oil temperature, exhaust temperature and output
current.
All alarm switches are closed when no malfunction occur.
A contact is cut in the event of an alarm. This means that
the generating set will not work when the alarm switches
are broken or there is a loose wire. The system therefore
is intrinsically safe.
2.5.6 Fuel specification
The engine must only be used with diesel fuel which
conforms to the standards for use in modern diesel
engines. Fuel free from water and contaminants is of the
utmost importance.
2.5.7 Oil information
1 Specification:
The oil must be suitable for oil changes as specified in
the maintenance chapter. The Kubota engine must be
run on heavy duty lubricating oil meeting the
requirements of API class CD, CF or CF_4.
It is very important to use the correct oil
specification. Very often local oil suppliers
recommend a higher class, because they
assume that a higher class is allowed. This is
not the case. One should not follow these
recommendations.
Using the wrong specification will cause high
oil consumption.
2 Oil viscosity:
We recommend a multigrade oil 15W40.
3 Oil capacity:
Excluding the oil cooler the content of the crankcase
is 1,3 l. including the oil cooler it is 1,5 l.
Do not overfill with lubricating oil as this may have a
detrimental effect on engine performance.
4 Oil pressure:
• Minimum at idle 49 Kpa (0,5 kgf/cm2 - 7psi).
• Normal at 3000 rpm between 147 and 490 Kpa
(1,5 up to 5 kgf/cm2 - 21 up to 71 psi).
• Minimum at 3000 rpm 98 Kpa (1,0 kgf/cm 2 – 14
psi).
