 Safety regulations

General notes
Handling diesel engines and the necessary resources is no problem when the personnel commis­
sioned with operation and maintenance are trained accordingly and use their common sense.
This summary is a compilation of the most important regulations. These are broken down into main sec­
tions which contain the information necessary for preventing injury to persons, damage to property and pol­
lution. In addition to these regulations those dictated by the type of engine and its site are to be observed
also.
Important:
If, despite all precautions, an accident occurs, in particular through contact with caustic acids, fuel penetrat­
ing the skin, scalding from hot oil, anti‐freeze being splashed in the eyes etc., consult a doctor immedi­
ately.

1. Regulations designed to prevent accidents with injury to persons

During commissioning, starting and operation

D Before putting the engine into operation for the first time, read the operating instructions
carefully and familiarize yourself with the “critical" points. If you are unsure, ask your
MAN representative.

D For reasons of safety we recommend you attach a notice to the door of the engine
room prohibiting the access of unauthorized persons and that you draw the attention of
the operating personal to the fact that they are responsible for the safety of persons
who enter the engine room.

D The engine must be started and operated only by authorized personnel.

Ensure that the engine cannot be started by unauthorized persons.

D When the engine is running, do not get too close to the rotating parts. Wear close‐fitting
clothing.

D Do not touch the engine with bare hands when it is warm from operation - risk of burns.

ËË
D Exhaust gases are toxic. Comply with the instructions for the installation of MAN Diesel
ËË
engines which are to be operated in enclosed spaces. Ensure that there is adequate
ventilation and air extraction.
D For safety reasons a separate, functioning red emergency‐stop‐button for each
engine must be installed at every bridge (the engine must stop immediately when
the button is pressed once).

8
 Safety regulations

D Electrical accessories and equipment from other manufactures may only be

connected without the approval of MAN to the connections provided for the cu­
stomer or shipyard.
The control of the engine may be adversely affected and thus may lead to property
damage or personal injury and is therefore not permitted.
MAN assumes no liability for any property damage or personal injury.
Connections to the following MAN components are prohibited:
- EDC engine control unit (K-Line, CAN-Bus)
- MAN internal or external throttle lever control system (CAN-Bus)
- Emergency steering control (serial, CAN-Bus)
- Display systems for alarms (serial, CAN-Bus)
Approved connectors on terminal box: X4, X8 and X9.
D Keep vicinity of engine, ladders and stairways free of oil and grease.
Accidents caused by slipping can have serious consequences.

During maintenance and care

D Always carry out maintenance work when the engine is switched off.
If the engine has to be maintained while it is running, e.g. changing the elements of
change‐over filters, remember that there is a risk of scalding. Do not get too close to ro­
tating parts.
D Change the oil when the engines is warm from operation.

ËË
Caution:

ËË
There is a risk of burns and scalding. Do not touch oil drain plugs or oil filters with bare
hands.
D Take into account the amount of oil in the sump. Use a vessel of sufficient size to en­
sure that the oil will not overflow.
D Open the coolant circuit only when the engine has cooled down.

ËË
If opening while the engine is still warm is unavoidable, comply with the instructions in
the chapter entitled “Maintenance and Care".

D Neither tighten up nor open pipes and hoses (lube oil circuit, coolant circuit and any ad­
ËË
ditional hydraulic oil circuit) during the operation.
The fluids which flow out can cause injury.

D Fuel is inflammable. Do not smoke or use naked lights in its vicinity. The tank must be
filled only when the engine is switched off.

D When using compressed air, e.g. for cleaning the radiator, wear goggles.

D Keep service products (anti‐freeze) only in containers which can not be confused with
drinks containers.

9
 Safety regulations

D Comply with the manufacturer's instructions when handling batteries.

Caution:
Accumulator acid is toxic and caustic. Battery gases are explosive.

2. Regulations designed to prevent damage to engine and premature wear

Do not demand more from the engine than it is able to supply in its intended application. Detailed informa­
tion on this can be found in the sales literature.
If faults occur, find the cause immediately and have it eliminated in order to prevent more serious damage.
Use only genuine MAN spare parts. MAN will accept no responsibility for damage resulting from the install­
ation of other parts which are supposedly “just as good".
In addition to the above, note the following points:
D Never let the engine run when dry, i.e. without lube oil or coolant.

D When starting do not use any additional starting aids (e.g. injection with starting pilot).

D Use only MAN‐approved service products (fuel, engine oil, anti‐freeze and anti‐corrosion agent). Pay at­
tention to cleanliness. The Diesel fuel must be free of water. See “Maintenance and care".
D Have the engine maintained at the specified intervals.

D Today modern components of diesel injection consist of high‐precision parts which are exposed to ex­
treme stresses. The high‐precision technology requires the utmost cleanliness during all work on the
fuel system.
Even a particle of dirt over 0,2 mm can lead to the failure of components.
D Do not switch off the engine immediately when it is warm, but let it run without load for about 5 minutes
so that temperature equalization can take place.
D Never put cold coolant into an overheated engine. See “Maintenance and care".

D Do not add so much engine oil that the oil level rises above the max. marking on the dipstick.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible tilt of the engine.
Serious damage to the engine may result if these instructions are not adhered to.
D Always ensure that the testing and monitoring equipment (for battery charge, oil pressure, coolant tem­
perature) function satisfactorily.
D It is advisable to switch off the engine if an alarm of any kind is displayed in the engine monitoring and
diagnostic system. If this is not possible for any reason, the engine should be run no faster than 1200
rpm until the fault is remedied, see page 24.
D Comply with instructions for operation of the alternator. See “Maintenance and care".

D Do not let the seawater pump run dry. If there is a risk of frost, drain the pump when the engine is
switched off.

 Safety regulations

3. Regulations designed to prevent pollution

Engine oil and filter elements / cartridges, fuel / fuel filter

D Take old oil only to an old oil collection point.

D Take strict precautions to ensure that no oil or Diesel fuel gets into the drains or the ground.
Caution:
The drinking water supply could be contaminated.
D Filter elements are classed as dangerous waste and must be treated as such.

Coolant
D Treat undiluted anti‐corrosion agent and / or anti‐freeze as dangerous waste.

D When disposing of spent coolant comply with the regulations of the relevant local authorities.

4. Notes on safety in handling used engine oil ∗

Prolonged or repeated contact between the skin and any kind of engine oil decreases the skin. Drying, irrit­
ation or inflammation of the skin may therefore occur. Used engine oil also contains dangerous substances
which have caused skin cancer in animal experiments. If the basic rules of hygiene and health and safety
at work are observed, health risks are not to the expected as a result of handling used engine oil.
Health precautions:
D Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact with used engine oil.

D Protect your skin by means of suitable agents (creams etc.) or wear protective gloves.

D Clean skin which has been in contact with engine oil.

- Wash thoroughly with soap and water. A nailbrush is an effective aid.
- Certain products make it easier to clean your hands.
- Do not use petrol, Diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or solvents as washing agents.
D After washing apply a fatty skin cream to the skin.

D Change oil‐soaked clothing and shoes.

D Do not put oily rags into your pockets.

Ensure that used engine oil is disposed of properly
- Engine oil can endanger the water supply -
For this reason do not let engine oil get into the ground, waterways, the drains or the sewers. Violations are
punishable.
Collect and dispose of used engine oil carefully. For information on collection points please contact the
seller, the supplier or the local authorities.

 Safety regulations

5. Special instructions when working on the common rail system

Accident protection

D Risk of injury!
Fuel jets can cut through skin.
The atomisation of fuel creates a fire risk.

- When the engine is running never loosen the screw connections on the fuel's
high‐pressure side of the common rail system (injection line from the high‐pressure
pump to the rail, on the rail and on the cylinder head to the injector)

- Keep away from the engine when it is running

D Risk of injury!
When the engine is running the lines are constantly under a fuel pressure of up
to 1600 bar.

- Wait at least a minute until the pressure in the rail has dropped before loosening a
screw connection
- If necessary check the pressure drop in the rail with MAN‐Cats
D Risk of injury!
- People with pacemaker must keep at least 20 cm away from the running engine.

- Do not touch live parts on the electric connection of the injectors when the engine is
running.

Cleanliness
Today modern components of diesel injection consist of high‐precision parts which are exposed to extreme
stresses. The high‐precision technology requires the utmost cleanliness during all work on the fuel sys­
tem.
Even a particle of dirt over 0,2 mm can lead to the failure of components.
The measures described as follows are therefore essential before work begins:

Risk of damage from penetration of dirt!

D Before working on the clean side of the fuel system clean the engine and the engine
compartment. During cleaning the fuel system must be closed.

D Carry out visual inspection for any leakage or damage to the fuel system
D Do not spray the high‐pressure cleaner direct onto the electric components, or alternati­
vely keep them covered
D Do not carry out any welding or sanding work in the engine compartment during mainte­
nance / repair

12
 Safety regulations

D Avoid air movements (any swirling of dust when starting engines)

D The area of the still closed fuel system must be cleaned and dried with the aid of com­
pressed air
D Remove detached particles of dirt such as paint chippings and insulation material with a
suitable extractor (industrial type vacuum cleaner)
D Cover areas of the engine compartment from which dust particles could be detached
with clean foil
D Wash your hands and put on clean work clothes before starting the disassembly work
When carrying out the work it is essential to comply with the following measures:

Risk of damage from penetration of dirt!

D When the clean side of the fuel system has been opened it is not permissible to use
compressed air for cleaning
D During assembly work loose dirt must be removed with the aid of suitable extractors (in­
dustrial type vacuum cleaners)
D Use only fluff‐free cleaning cloths on the fuel system
D Clean tools and working materials before starting to work
D Only tools without any damage may be used (cracked chrome coatings)
D When removing and installing components do not use materials such as cloths, cardbo­
ard or wood since these could shed particles and fine fibres
D If any paint chips/flakes off when connections are loosened (from possible over‐coating)
these chippings must be carefully removed before finally loosening the screw connec­
tion
D The connection openings of all parts removed from the clean side of the fuel system
must be immediately closed up with suitable caps/stoppers
D These caps/stoppers must be packed protected from dust prior to use and after being
used once they must be disposed of
D Following this all the components must be carefully stored in a clean, closed container
D Never use used cleaning or testing liquids for these components
D New parts must not be removed from their original packing material until directly before
use
D Work on removed components may be carried out only at a workplace specially equip­
ped for it
D If removed parts are shipped always use the original packing material of the new part

 Commissioning and operation

First commissioning
When putting a new or overhauled engine into operation for the first time pay attention to the “Installation
instructions for MAN marine diesel engines" without fail.
It is recommended that new or overhauled engines should not be operated at a load higher than about 75%
maximum load during the first few hours of operation. Initial run-in should be at varying speeds. After this
initial run-in, the engine should be brought up to full output gradually.

Caution:
Use only approved fuels, lubricants etc. (see brochure Fuels, lubricants etc."). Otherwise the liab­
ility for defects will become null and void!

Filling with fuel

Caution:
Fill the tank only when the engine is switched off. Pay attention to cleanliness. Do not spill fuel.
Use only approved fuels, see brochure Fuels, lubricants etc.".

Filling-in of coolant
Fill the cooling system of the engine with a mixture of drinkable tap water and anti-freeze agent on the
ethylene glycole basis or anti-corrosion agent.
See Publication “Fuels, Lubricants and Coolants for MAN Diesel Engines".
D Pour in coolant slowly via expansion tank, see page 110

Starting

Danger:
Before starting make sure that no-one is in the engine's danger area.

Caution:
When starting do not use any additional starting aids (e.g. injection with starting pilot).

There are two possibilities to start the engine: using the ignition lock or using the Start" button.

Starting via the ignition lock:

Ensure that the gearbox is in neutral.
Insert the ignition key and turn it to position I". Readiness for operation is indicated by an indicator lamp
lighting up.
Turn ignition key on until stop (position “III" depending on starter lock) starter is activated.
Lube oil pressure must build up at the oil pressure gauge. If it does not, switch off the engine immediately.
Do not operate starter for longer than 10 seconds at a time.
After ignition of the engine, release the starter button and adjust control lever for desired speed.
If engine fails to start, release the key, wait about 30 seconds, then operate starter again.
For repeated starting turn the key back to “0".
If the engine is kept idling for long periods it may cool down and thus start to emit white or blue smoke.
We therefore recommend that you do not let the engine idle for more than 5 minutes.
It is well known that with any internal combustion engine wear is higher during idling.
Prolonged idling is harmful to the environment.

Starting via the button:

Ensure that the gearbox is in neutral.
Press the “IGN ON/OFF“ button. Readiness for operation is indicated by an indicator lamp lighting up.
Actuate “Engine Start“ button. Starter runs up and the control light goes out.
Lube oil pressure must build up at the oil pressure gauge on the display. If it does not, switch off the engine
immediately.
Do not operate starter for longer than 10 seconds at a time.
After starting the engine, let go of the Start button and set the adjustment lever to the desired speed.
If the engine has not started, wait approx. 30 seconds before pressing the Start" button again to operate
the starter motor.
If the engine is kept idling for long periods it may cool down and thus start to emit white or blue smoke.
We therefore recommend that you do not let the engine idle for more than 5 minutes.
It is well known that with any internal combustion engine wear is higher during idling.
Prolonged idling is harmful to the environment.

Operation monitoring system

Caution:
Do not exceed the maximum permissible engine tilt. If faults occur, find their cause immediately
and have them eliminated in order to prevent more serious damage!

If an engine / gearbox alarm is displayed on the monitoring devices, the engine is to be turned off
or, i.e. operated at low load at max. 1200 rpm.
When the following alarms are displayed
- engine oil pressure / reduction of lubrication oil pressure
- engine coolant temperature / overheating of engine coolant
- engine charge-air temperature
the engine is to be turned off immediately and the cause of the fault properly remedied, i.e. in a
specialist workshop.
Do not put this engine into operation again until the fault has been eliminated.

The engine is equipped as series standard with a monitoring and diagnostic system MAN-Marine-Dia­
gnose-System (MMDS.
On the control console and alternatively on other control consoles, the following display devices are avail­
able for monitoring operation:
1. Engine room panel, see page 26
CAN bus-controlled display devices:
2. CAN-Bus round instruments, see page 29

Differences in operating parameters of engines and gearboxes

Differences in parameters can be observed on identical engines, irrespective if they are installed in one
boat or in different boats (boat series), such as
D pressures
D temperatures
D speeds
D fuel consumption
D injection quantity
D Load
D relative load
D control head signal
D oil level of engine and gearbox
D engine coolant level
D battery and charging voltage
The same applies to a single V-engine (e.g. exhaust temperatures before turbine, l.h. and r.h. side cylinder
banks).

These differences may be caused by

D component tolerances of the mechanical and electrical engine components
D design-related influences on engines (this applies especially to the exhaust temp.)
D external influences such as fuel supply, air supply and coolant supply
D installation conditions, hull characteristic and flow, exhaust system
D differences in the propeller and stern gear.
Under normal conditions this does not have any negative impact on the engine's operating safety. If the op­
erating parameters are in an impermissible range, this is indicated by appropriate alarms of the diagnostic
system.
The same applies to the gearbox parameters.Please note that especially differences in the oil temperature
may arise on gearboxes running in clockwise or anticlockwise direction.

3. MMDS-CLC 6.5 display device (colour display)

Introduction
This document describes how the MMDS-CMS 6.5 colour display with MMDS-CLCB 6.5 remote control op­
erates and is used in its application as an engine display to monitor engine operation. Fitting, mounting and
installation are explained in separate instructions for the unit.
The engine and gearbox data are shown on the colour display in the form of dials and digital displays.
LED symbols are used to display alarms; these are complemented by a table which lists all alarms present
with more detailed information.
A logo which will be displayed on all pages may be activated when installed. The shipyard can select this
logo selection itself (see page 47).

Function
The colour display is automatically activated when the supply voltage is applied. It can then be switched on

and off manually using the “Power" button . The other alarm functions such as the alarm relay
and the internal buzzer and the acknowledge button remain operative.
The engine speed display incorporates a damping algorithm to simulate mechanical instruments.
This means that small variations do not lead to an unstable display, which could irritate the officer con­
trolling the ship.

Alarms

Definition of alarm condition

An alarm is triggered when a monitored value exceeds or fails to reach its set limit value.
Should an alarm condition occur, an alarm table is automatically displayed. This lists all advance warnings,
alarms and sensor fault alarms. An internal buzzer and the horn relay are activated at the same time.
The collective alarm relay issues a repeat pulse if another alarm was already active. In this way, it is pos­
sible to activate a visual call system for each new alarm or to send a telephone message if the ship is not

occupied. Acoustic acknowledgement with the (4) button switches the internal buzzer off and the
horn relay drops out.
Alarm acknowledgements and reset signals are sent on the CAN bus to the engine monitoring and dia­
gnostic system Diagnostics unit and to all the monitoring devices subscribing to the same CAN bus. All the
equipment thus has the same alarm status.
So long as the values are displayed in white, the values are in their “normal ranges". On reaching a prelim­
inary alarm the digital value flashes orange, with a main alarm red, and in the case of a sensor fault a yel­

low flashing “SE" appears. On pressing the optical acknowledgement (Button (4)) all the flashing
displays revert to a continuously lit condition. When the fault has been eliminated and both acoustically and

optically acknowledged (button (4)), the alarm display reverts to the “Normal condition".

ning
Figure: Example of the display of the engine oil pressure with alarm indication
The engine monitoring and diagnostic system control unit monitors all important sensors for plausibility.
If a sensor fault alarm occurs, the value is cleared from the digital displays and the pointer is removed from
the dials.
In the case of alarms, which have led to the automatic stopping or speed reduction of the engine

via the central MMDS unit, the button (5) must also be actuated. In the case of a stop alarm,
this function is released on engine shutdown and with a reduce alarm below an engine speed of
800 1/min.
Alarm acknowledgements and reset signals are sent via the CAN bus to the engine monitoring and dia­
gnostic unit and to all the monitoring devices connected to the same CAN bus.

Sensor Sensor fault alarm
A new alarm always appears in the top line. This is highlighted in flashing red until it is visually acknow­
ledged. Older messages are automatically displaced one line downwards. If there are more than 6 entries,
further alarm pages are automatically presented for selection. In this event, pressing the “Alarms" button

(1) switches on to the next available alarm page. When the first page reappears, or if the display
remains the same after pushing that key, there are no further alarms. The numbering of the displayed
alarm page is shown at the bottom right of the page.

The table has 3 columns for each measuring point. Each entry contains an abbreviation of the designation
of the measuring point, the current measured value and the unit of measurement. The alarm status is
presented via LED symbols. As long as the LED is green the value is in the normal range. If the initial alarm
is reached the colour changes to orange and with a main alarm to red. A flashing LED indicates that the
alarm has not yet been visually acknowledged. If there is a sensor failure, the LED goes out.

Automatic dimming
A photo element is integrated in the front plate of the display unit. This registers the brightness of the envir­

the button (1) It shows all existing alarm messages, i.e. those that have not been acknowledged or
reset. Each entry contains a measuring point text, the current measured value, the time when the alarm oc­
curred, the unit of measurement and the type of alarm. The following labels are used for the type of alarm:

Text Meaning
Warning Advance warning
Alarm Alarm
Sensor Sensor fault alarm
A new alarm always appears in the top line. This is highlighted in flashing red until it is visually acknow­
ledged. Older messages are automatically displaced one line downwards. If there are more than 10 entries,
further alarm pages are automatically presented for selection. In this event, pressing the “Alarms" button

(1) causes paging on to the next available alarm page. If the first page appears again, or if the dis­
play remains unchanged on pressing the button, then no further alarms are present. The numbering of the
alarm pages presented is displayed on the page, lower right. In general a message remains active until it

has been acoustically and optically acknowledged (Button (4)) and the fault has been eliminated.

5. MMDS-CMS display device

The visualisation of engine operating data, general ship's messages and alarms is an important part of
modern alarm and safety systems on ships. The amount of information is steadily increasing and must be
registered and evaluated quickly. Alarms and / or warnings are to be recorded and reported quickly and
precisely. Clear and user-friendly displays are a precondition for safe operation of any ship.
The MAN Monitoring System represents a new component of the proven alarm, safety and diagnostic sys­
tem MMDS, which offers a variety of new functions and display formats. The PC-based system is used to
display operating data of several engines and general ship messages.
The 10" / 15" MMDS-CMS 10 / 15 TFT monitor is part of the system. Data that has previously been pro­
cessed by the corresponding software is shown on the display. The software is controlled using integrated
function keys that are located on the left of the display. The assigned functions are shown on the left edge
of the display. There is a choice of various forms of display. These can be pages with digital displays, ana­
logue instruments, visual engine graphics and tabular displays. There are also two keys at the bottom right
for visual and acoustic alarm acknowledgement. The keys above these are for setting the display by means
of an “on screen display" menu.

Software operation
The MMDS-CMS 10/15 monitor serves to display and control visualisation software that is installed on the
PC. This software is adapted to the overall system and is explained in a system description. Ten function
keys are arranged on the left of the display for operation of the software. The assigned functions are shown
at the edge of the display.

Software description

Introduction
Processing engine data, general ship data and alarms is an important part of modern alarm and safety sys­
tems on ships. The amount of information is steadily increasing and must be registered and evaluated
quickly.
The MAN Monitoring System MMDS-CMS belongs to the Alarm, Safety and Diagnostic Unit MMDS.
It offers a variety of functions and types of display, which are mainly defined by the visualisation software.
It is fully installed and configured on the compact PC MMDS-CMS S which is part of the system.
Measured values and alarms are displayed in different forms on the monitoring system. Alongside a preset
page with displays of analogue or digital instruments, there is a page that can be freely configured by the
user. In addition, the engines are represented graphically. In the event of a fault, the source of the problem
can be recognised easily. A further special feature is the dynamic display of speed-dependent variables.
The limit value changes directly with the speed so that the distance between an actual value and the cor­
responding alarm limit value is easily recognisable at any time. All alarm and measuring point lists are avail­
able in tabular form. The displays are operated using the integrated function keys or by means of an ex­
ternal mouse or trackball.
This documentation is intended to make the user acquainted with the operation of the software and to
provide an overview of the system at a glance. Please note that this description is a minimum configuration
of the monitoring system. Extension options are documented separately. The devices belonging to the sys­
tem are also documented extensively in the individual device descriptions.

57
 Commissioning and operation

Scope of services
The monitoring system registers, evaluates and displays engine and gearbox data of MAN ship's diesel en­
gines. The measured values are registered via the MMDS diagnostic units, one of which is placed each of
the engine terminal boxes. Data interchange between the devices takes place via the separate CAN bus
lines, CAN Engine 1 and CAN Engine 2. The compact PC, which is part of every display, processes the
data and makes it available on a CMS 15" / 10" display with the help of visualisation software.

Display
The data is shown on the 10"/15" display MMDS-CMS 10" or the smaller MMDS-CMS 15". Ten function
keys are integrated in each of the monitors. This enables functions such as page selection or scrolling.
On connection of mouse and keyboard, one of the pages can be freely configured. On the Custom page,
the selection of data and its displays can be adapted to the user's needs by means of a few mouse-clicks.

Extension options
The MMDS-CMS alarm system can be extended to form a comprehensive ship and engine alarm system.
A large number of analogue and binary sensors can be integrated on connection of one or more data sta­
tions (e.g. MMDS IO12) in order to, e.g., monitor the filling levels of fuel tanks or the condition of position
lanterns. Further route-specific information can be calculated by connecting a GPS receiver that uses
sensor data, for example the range resulting from the current fuel consumption and speed.

Description of the operating elements:

General:
After switching on the supply voltage for the Mini-Marex system and the entire system of the mobile navig­
ating console, all correctly functioning command masters are in the state 'lamp test' (all LEDs and buzzers
on). The lamp test is terminated automatically after a short time and the standard takeover procedure be­
gins. At each navigating console, pressing the Command button once requests the command. Pressing the
Command button again takes over the command.

Command push-button:

Pressing the button requests the command takeover for the mobile navigating console. This state is
indicated by the two Command LEDs flashing and the buzzer sounding.
D The two LEDs and the buzzer will be flashing respectively bleeping fast if com­
mand transfer is possible. The command may be transferred by pressing the

Fast bleeping l push-button once again.

D The two LEDs flash and the buzzer beeps slowly when no command takeover
is possible. An error cause can be that the command master levers are not
located in the same range of the active navigating console.

slowly bleeping

Steady lighting of the two command LEDs signal the transfer of command. In this mode of operation the
buzzer is turned off. The hand-held remote control is now active and can give commands.

Special function “Warming Up"

The “Warming Up" function can be used to set a specified speed without shifting the gearbox. This function
is required to warm up the engines.

To enable the “Warming Up" function, press the button and simultaneously place the lever in For­

wards or Reverse. The button can then be released. To switch off, return the lever to Neutral. The
button must not be pressed here.
If the function “Warming Up" is active, the command LED will be flashing.
. Warm-up function can be switched on and off independently for each side. The command LEDs are as­
signed to the corresponding levers.

 Commissioning and operation

Trolling push-button:

The button can only be pressed in neutral position of the command master levers. The function is ac­

tivated by pressing the button and is indicated by the Trolling LED lighting up.

Pressing the button again (the command master levers must also be in neutral position) switches off
the trolling function..

Synchronising:
The command can also be adopted by the mobile navigating console when the active navigating console is
in the synchronisation mode.
Here, the synchronisation mode is retained at the mobile navigating console and the LED on the Trolling
button flashes. A neutral position of one of the two command master levers switches off the synchronisa­
tion.
The synchronisation cannot be switched on at the mobile navigating console; it can only be taken over from
the active navigating console.

Dead man's switch:

The supporting loop of the dead man's switch at the hand-held remote control is to be looped around the
user's wrist during operation of the hand-held remote control. In case of loss of the hand-held remote con­
trol the pin fixed at the supporting loop will be torn out off the hand-held remote control so that the vessel's
propulsion will be turned off. In this way an uncontrolled manoeuvring of the vessel is avoided.
The dead man's switch has a function in active as well as passive mode of the hand-held remote
control!

By tearing off the dead man's switch the engines are set down to idle speed and the gears
are shifted into neutral position. This state will be signalled by lighting up of the two alarm
LEDs and bleeping of the buzzer.
In order to re-obtain command the following steps have to be carried out:

Bow and stern thruster push-buttons:

Pressing a thruster button switches on the corresponding thruster. Releasing the button terminates the
function.
. All relay outputs are available at the same time.If, for example, the push-buttons for starboard and port­
side bow thrusterare activated at the same time, accordingly both contacts will be closed.

Anchor winch push-buttons:

The anchor winch buttons are used to raise and lower the anchor. The operation is terminated when the
button is released.
. All relay outputs are available at the same time. If, for example, the push-buttons for anchor winch up­
wards and downwards are operated at the same time, accordingly both contacts will be closed.

Safety stop push-button:

Caution:
The safety stop push-button is also effective in case of an inactive hand-held remote control!

A safety stop button is available for both the port and starboard sides (see Chapter 1, page 26).
The engine is stopped immediately by actuating the safety stop button.

7. Emergency operation unit::

The emergency operation control system - Em - is

conceived as a simple engine speed and gearbox
control system which enables safe continuation of
a trip in the event of a failure in the electrical con­
trol lever system.
The operation unit for emergency running control is
preferably integrated next to the throttle lever in
the bridge console. For safe marine operation, the
front buttons must be easily accessible. When the
ignition is on, emergency running can be activated
by way of appropriate function buttons. A green
LED indicates operational readiness.
Operation is effected by way of six front buttons,
which light up when a requested status is achieved
and thus indicate the relevant operating or actual
status.

Key Activate emergency operation

Key Shift gearbox to neutral position

Key Shift gearbox to forwards position

Key Shift gearbox to reverse position

Key Increase engine speed

Key Decrease engine speed

LED Power On indicates the presence of supply voltage when the ignition is on

Operating the emergency operation unit

Requirements for operation / activation / deactivation:
D The emergency running control system should be only activated while the engine is running.
Otherwise the “System Failure" LED flashes to indicate there is no engine speed signal
D The engine should be shut down via the ignition lock
When the emergency stop button is pressed, the “System Failure" LED on the Em-C operation unit lights
up when the ignition is simultaneously on as the active systems EDC engine control and emergency run­
ning unit are shut down by the emergency stop.
The “System Failure" LED goes out after the emergency stop button has been released.

Operation / function of emergency operation unit in operation:

Enabling emergency operation unit

The system is ready for operation once the ignition has been turned on. This is indicated by the green
“Power-On" The red LED (Failure) must not light up. The emergency running system can now be activated

by pressing the button twice:

Pressing the button for the first time requests emergency running mode. The button flashes cycli­
cally for approx. 6 seconds and an acoustic signal is issued. During this time, the request must be
acknowledged by pressing the button for a second time. The button lights up permanently once
the changeover to emergency running mode has taken place.

If there is no acknowledgement by pressing the button for a second time, the system returns to
the initial setting (operational readiness).

Note:
Once the emergency running system has been activated, it is only possible to switch back to nor­
mal throttle lever mode by shutting down the engine (ignition “OFF" for at least 3 seconds)!

93
 Commissioning and operation

Gearbox control
When emergency running mode is active, the gearbox is engaged in the neutral, forwards or astern posi­
tions by means of 3 button functions:

Key Shift gearbox to neutral position

Key Shift gearbox to forwards position

Key Shift gearbox to reverse position

Gearbox reversal will only take place when the engine speed is in the idle range.
It is advisable always to engage the gearbox in neutral first prior to a reversal operation.
If however the operator requests a reversal e.g. from forwards directly to astern (or vice versa) and the en­
gine is at a higher speed, the engine is automatically set to idle speed prior to each active reversal opera­
tion.
The relevant pressed button flashes until the desired status is reached.
It goes out when another control command is given or lights up permanently to indicate that gearbox re­
versal has taken place (indication of actual status).

Engine speed control

Once the gearbox is engaged in the forwards or reverse position, the current engine speed can be in­
creased or reduced by means of 2 button functions:

Key Increase engine speed

Key Decrease engine speed

As long as the + or - keys are pressed (“insert button symbol"), there is a continuous change in the engine
speed.
The increase or alteration rate is 50 revolutions / seconds.
Each individual short pressing of a button brings about a speed change of 10 engine revolutions.
The engine speed is restricted downwards to the idling speed and upwards to the maximum permitted en­
gine speed.

94
 Commissioning and operation

Deactivating emergency running mode

Emergency running mode is always deactivated only after the engine has been shut down, it is necessary
for the ignition to have been turned off for at least 3 seconds.
When the ignition is turned on again, normal throttle lever mode is always activated first, i.e. the emergency
running system must be reactivated as required.

Fault messages
Two LEDs on the Em-C operation unit (green “Power On" LED and red “Failure" LED) are used to differen­
tiate between various failure states:
Green LED off and red LED off
Ignition off or no supply voltage (emergency running mode not possible)
Green LED on, red LED flashes without another operator button also flashing
Drop-out of internal speed signal (function with delayed reversal times nevertheless still possible)
Green LED on, red LED flashes together with forwards button
Failure after gearbox reversal into forwards direction (this propulsion direction can no longer be activ­
ated)
Green LED on, red LED flashes together with astern button
Failure after gearbox reversal into astern direction (this propulsion direction can no longer be activ­
ated)
Green LED and red LED permanently on
System failure or no communication between Em-C and Em-R. (emergency operation not possible)
Em-R is the receiver component in the terminal box.
Failure states which are indicated by flashing on the Em-C operation unit must be cancelled with the key

after the fault has been rectified. The failure indications continues to flash until it is cancelled.

7.1. Override button

The Override button with LED is available as an option and is installed as an external button in the area of
the navigating consoles. A separate Override button is required for each engine.
Pressing the Override button after an alarm has reduced the engine speed recovers the original power out­
put of the engine.
The Override button may be used in emergencies exclusively to protect the health and lives of the crew.
Function:
If the engine output has been reduced due to an alarm, there is the possibility to press the Override button
once (LED on) and recover the original power output of the engine. If there is another reason for power
output reduction on the engine, this does not trigger a power output reduction of the engine.
The function remains active until the Override button is pressed again (LED off) or the engine is shut
down via the ignition (off position).
Urgent recommendation:
Determine the cause of the drop in power output (alarm)!
If pressing the Override button leads to engine damage, this is not covered within the framework of MAN' li­

Fill the cooling system of the engine with a mixture of drinkable tap water and anti-freeze agent on an ethyl­
ene glycole basis or anti-corrosion agent.

Caution:
Use only approved fuels, lubricants etc. (see brochure Fuels, lubricants etc."). Otherwise the liab­
ility for defects will become null and void!

When filling, do not fill cold coolant into an engine

that is hot after operation. Make sure, that the cor­ 1 2
rect mixing ratio of “Water - Antifreeze" is main­
tained.
D Unscrew the locking cap (2) of the drain valve
(1)
D Connect the pump via the hose stem (3) to the
drain valve (1) and start the filling process by
actuating the pump button

Note:
3
As an alternative to filling the engine with
coolant using a pump, the filler necks (4)
can be used for this purpose.

D During the filling process the liquid-cooled ex­

haust turbochargers have to be vented. Undo
the threaded vent plugs (5). The threaded vent
plugs (5) must remain open until the coolant
emerges bubble-free or until the coolant
reaches the filler neck (4) depending on the in­
4
stalled position). For the coolant filling quantity,
see “Technical data", from page 107
D Tighten the threaded vent plugs (5) back in and
screw on cap (4) all the way, but do not tighten
yet.

Caution:
Overtightened caps can not be opened
again.

D Unscrew the hose stem (3) and screw on and

tighten the locking cap (2)
D Let the engine run at a speed of 2000 1/min for
approx. 15 minutes 5

110
 Maintenance and care

D Stop the engine

D Check the coolant at the sight glass (1) of the 1
expansion tank, which must be between “min" 2
and “max"
D When topping up, carefully loosen the locking
cap (2) with safety valve -release the pressure-
then carefully open and fill up with coolant.

Danger:
Risk of scalding.

Note:
In the event of overfilling, excess coolant is ejected via the drainage hose during operation.

D Before the engine is next put into operation (with the engine cold) check the coolant level and top up if
necessary.
D Repeat this procedure until no more coolant can be added

Note:
The turbochargers must not be bled while the cooling system is being topped up.

Danger:
If, in an exceptional case, it is necessary to check the coolant level with the engine hot due to run­
ning, first carefully loosen the locking cap (2) with safety valve -release the pressure- then open
carefully.

Note:
Do not open the cooling system when the engine is at operating temperature. This causes a pres­
sure loss in the cooling system.
If the cooling system has been opened when the engine is at operating temperature, this can lead
to the alarm “pressure in the expansion tank" when the engine is then put into operation and to a
reduction in the engine output.
Coolant pressure in the expansion tank is only built up again when the engine has cooled down.
The cooling system must therefore only be filled up when the engine is cold.

111
 Maintenance and care

If it is necessary to fill the expansion tank when the engine is hot, the following should be noted:

D In order to be able to operate the hot engine

again without an alarm, after opening the lock­
ing cap, there must be an admission pressure
of 0.7 bar in the cooling system.
1
D In order to achieve this a pressure valve (1) is
fitted on the expansion tank, to which a propri­
etary air pump can be connected. This can be
used to pump the system pressure up to
0.7 bar

112
 Maintenance and care

Change air filter

Danger:
Only replace the air filter with the engine
switched off
3

Remove air filter 2

Loosen the hose clamp (2) and remove the air fil­ 1
ter (1) from the intake neck (3).
Removal of the second air filter takes place by
analogy.

Mount air filter

Slide the new air filter (1) onto the intake neck (3).
Position the hose clamp (2) and tighten to 7 Nm.
Mounting the second air filter is analogous to the
first.

113
 Maintenance and care

V-ribbed belt

Danger:
Inspect/replace the V-ribbed belt only
with the engine stopped.

Checking condition
D Check V-ribbed belt for cracks, tears, oil foul­
ing, signs of overheating and wear
D Replace damaged V-ribbed belt

Replace V-ribbed belt

Caution:
Danger of crushing!
The V-ribbed belt tensioner is under
spring pre-tension - secure against spring
back! 1

D Rotate the tensioning pulley of the V-ribbed belt

tensioner (1) clockwise up to the stop and hold

D Remove the V-ribbed belt (2)

D Carefully release the V-ribbed belt tensioning
pulley (1)
2

D Rotate the tensioning pulley of the V-ribbed belt

tensioner (1) clockwise up to the stop and hold
D Install the new V-ribbed belt (2)
D Carefully release the V-ribbed belt tensioning
pulley (1) 1 2

114
 Maintenance and care

Alternator
The alternator is maintenance-free.Nevertheless, it must be protected against dust and, above all, against
moisture.
In order to avoid damage to the alternator, observe the following instructions:

While the engine is running

D Do not de-energize the main battery switch!
D Do not disconnect the battery or pole terminals or the cables!
D If, during operation, the battery charge lamp suddenly lights up, stop the engine immediately and rem­
edy the fault in the electrical system!
D Do not run the engine unless the battery charge control is in satisfactory order!
D Do not short-circuit the connections of the alternator with those of the regulator or to ground, not even
by briefly bringing the connections into contact!
D Do not operate the alternator without battery connection!

Temporary decommissioning of engines

Temporary anti-corrosion protection according to MAN works standard M 3069 is required for engines
which are to be put out of service for fairly long periods.
The works standard can be obtained from our After-Sales Service department Nuremberg works.
