2.2 COMMISSIONING TABLE
1
Check if a siphon breaker (air vent) is necessary and
has been installed and that the drain is without bents
and air can flow in freely.
2
Open the seawater inlet valve and check all water
connections. Check if the strainer is installed above
the seawater level.
3
Check if the exhaust system is properly installed. Also
check the minimum required height of 60 cm above
sea level of the exhaust loop (goose neck). Check
length of exhaust hose, diameter of exhaust hose,
position of the water lock, maximum lift.
4
Open the seawater outlet valve and check all water
connections.
5
Check the AC cables and the grounding.
6
Check if an AC breaker is installed before or after the
power source selector. When there is only a circuit
breaker, use it to disconnect the generating set from
the grid.
7
Check all DC connections, check if the battery switch/
circuit breaker is closed.
8
Open the fuel valve and bleed the fuel system. Ensure
there is sufficient fuel. The M-SC3.5 is self bleeding.
To check the well functioning release the bleed screw
on the high pressure fuel pump. Push the start button
activating the electric system and activating the fuel
pump. When more time is needed to bleed, push
"start" and hold on the local control panel or (so not on
the DDC remote panel). Hold as long as necessary to
bleed the system. Retighten the bleed screw when no
further air bubbles are expelled.
Check if there are no air leaks in the fuel supply line
and check if the lift of the fuel is less than 1 meter.
Check if there is no air in the water fuel separator.
9
Check if the air intake in the canopy is not blocked.
10 Check the oil level and color of the oil.
11 Start the engine by pushing the start button.
