The TYP inscription indicates the commercial des-
ignation of the generating set (eg. QMS10T).
•
The NR inscription indicates the engine serial
number.
•
The CODE inscription lists the various specifica-
tions of your engine.
The elements on the alternator identification plate are
explained in the alternator documentation.
About the generator
Refer to your generator manual for more information
about this component.
The generators are installed and run for the first time in
our factory. A professional electrician should connect
the generating set to the craft’s electrical circuit follow-
ing the applicable safety standards.
Always check the installation of your generating set be-
fore handling it. Check the overall condition of the gen-
erator, the tightness of the assembly screws and the
stability of the generator as a whole.
Identification numbers
Your generating set has 2 identification plates: one for
the engine and one for the generator.
Keep these plates accessible and in good condition.
Record and keep the engine and generator serial
number and designation. These numbers will be useful
if you work on your set, order parts or invoke the war-
ranty.
The engine identification plate is as follows:
Checks before commissioning
I
Caution! :
Your generating set must be installed by a
shipyard or authorised representative following the on-
board assembly instructions.
The electrical connections must also be carried out by
qualified personnel. The electrical installation must be
equipped with all the mechanisms for protecting people
and property in accordance with the applicable stand-
ards.
When the set has been installed on board and before
removing the protective elements covering the different
orifices, clean the exterior surface of the generating set.
For transportation reasons, some of our generating
sets are delivered without their operating fluids. In all
cases, you must:
• Check the levels and fill the engine oil if necessary.
• Fill the exchanger with coolant and degas if neces-
sary.
• If necessary prime the raw water circuit
• Check the belt tension.
• Check the tightness of the different connections
and drain caps (coolant and oil).
• Check the tightness of the alternator electrical lugs
(check the cabling by referring to the corresponding
documentation), battery terminals, circuit breaker,
connection of extension sections, battery electro-
lyte level.
• Make a final check of the fixing elements and a vis-
ual check of the generating set as a whole.
Some of these operations are explained in more detail
later in this manual.
I
Caution! :
The modern fuel engine is precision
equipment that requires the use of a high-quality fuel
and lubricant.
