6.2.1.1. Introduction to pictograms

The pictograms are as follows:

Operating temperature
Fuel
Symbols for electric and
mechanical sizes

Overspeed

Non-starting fault Battery

Starting on external command

Preheating
Air intake
Delay

Oil pressure

Fig. 6.3 – View of pictograms

¾ The "fuel level" pictogram is used to display the fault, the alarm and the fuel level.
¾ The "operating temperature" and "oil pressure" pictograms are used to display the fault and analog value
¾ The "overspeed" and "non-starting fault" pictograms are used to display the fault.
¾ The "battery" pictogram is used to display the "alternator charge" fault and to indicate the battery voltage.

6.2.2 Manual starting
Check that the generating set circuit breaker has triggered.

Danger

n
o
connect the generating set battery.
turn the key switch to the ON position (without forcing it)
9 All of the LEDs light up for 2 seconds, to confirm that they are operating correctly.
9 If the LEDs do not light up, check the protection fuse and replace it if necessary.
9 All the items on the screen are displayed for 2 seconds.
9 Only the "ON" LED remains lit to indicate that the module is powered up.
9 The following screen appears.

The first line displays the motor speed in RPM.

The second line displays the battery voltage in
volts (V).

9 Check the battery voltage (min. 12 V)

p Press (once briefly) the green "START" button.

9 If the motor is equipped with an air preheating system, there is a 10-second delay before the motor starts (preheating
activation period).
9 The following screen appears

The third line displays the air preheating time

remaining (with pictograms representing a
resistor and an hourglass).

9 If the motor is not fitted with an air preheating system or once the preheating delay has elapsed, the engine starts up
(start of a cycle comprising 3 attempts to start up the engine).
9 The following screen appears.

The number of successive and automatic starting attempts is limited to 3.

Warning

Note: the LED flashes as soon as the START button is pressed and continues to flash until the frequency stabilises if
a "measurements" card has not been inserted and until the frequency and voltage stabilise if a "measurements" card has been
inserted.

Following stabilisation, the LED light comes on

continuously.

n trigger the circuit breaker located at the base of the centre console
6.2.3 Switching off

o Let the motor run under no load for 1 to 2 minutes to allow it to cool.
p press the "STOP" button to stop the generating set.
q switch off the MICS Nexys module by switching the key to "OFF" (without forcing it).

6.2.4 Alarms and faults

The appearance of a fault or an alarm causes the following

screen to be displayed (one or more pictograms or a fault
code along with the SOS message are displayed).

The user can access the following screens by pressing the key

The fault or alarm screen will disappear once the fault or alarm has been removed.
Only one fault is displayed on this screen (the fault which caused the generating set to stop).
If one or more faults have appeared after the first fault, they can only be displayed after the first fault has been reset
(press "Reset" as many times as the number of faults present).
Note: an alarm can appear at the same time as a fault.

6.2.5 Faults and alarms - Details

List of faults which will cause the generating set to stop and generate a pictogram
Associated pictogram

Oil pressure fault: Indicates that the oil pressure is incorrect

Associated pictogram

Engine temperature fault: Indicates that the engine

temperature is too high.

Associated pictogram

Non-starting fault: Indicates that there have been three

consecutive unsuccessful starting attempts.

41/343
 Associated pictogram

Overspeed fault: Indicates an excessive generating set

running speed.

Associated pictogram

Low fuel level fault: Indicates the need to top up the fuel.

List of faults which will cause the generating set to stop and generate a fault code

Associated message
Low coolant level fault: indicates that the level of coolant is
low in the radiator (linked to a two second time delay).
Or
Overload or short-circuit fault (optional): with the circuit
breaker SD contact closing (overload or short-circuit), the
generating set switches off immediately also causing the
main circuit breaker to be triggered.

Additional fault linked to message opposite: is displayed in

the following two cases: Associated message
¾ Differential fault (1)
¾ insulation fault (2)
(1) Differential fault (optional): with a differential fault
causing the activation of the differential relay, the
generating set stops immediately also causing the
main circuit breaker to be tripped.
(2) Insulation fault (optional): with an insulation fault
causing the activation of the control unit performing
insulation, the generating set stops immediately.
Associated message

Underspeed fault: indicates an incorrect rotation speed

(below 1000 rpm).

Associated message

Emergency stop or external emergency stop fault

42/343
 Associated message

"STOP" fault activated if the "STOP" button is pressed

whilst the "AUT" LED is flashing to indicate that the
generating set is operating in automatic mode.

List of alarms associated with a pictogram

Associated pictogram

Low fuel level alarm: Indicates the need to fill up with fuel.

Associated pictogram

"Alternator charging fault" alarm indicates a problem

affecting the alternator charging rate.
