IDENTIFYING YOUR SYSTEM IOM216311-000 The HOTSTART heating system is designed to heat fluids for use in marine propulsion, diesel-powered generator sets, locomotives, gas compression or any large-engine applications. The system is pre-wired and pre-plumbed. Each heating system has an identification plate which includes the part number and serial number.
Overcurrent limiting: The power supply must be protected by a suitable overcurrent limiting device. • Power disconnection: A means to disconnect the heater from the power supply is required. HOTSTART recommends that a power switch or circuit breaker be located near the heater for safety and ease of use. NOTICE EU Countries only: Equipment rated for the conditions listed in EN 601010-1 1.4.1 Ingress protection rating IP55.
The OXM/OGM heating system consists of the following main components: See Fig. 1. OOE: Component illustrations are for reference only and are not to scale. See part drawings for dimensions and specifications. OGM model shown. OXM model incorporates two heater circuits; 50%/100% switch and heater lights not available.
A return line check (non-return) valve (included with the OXM/OGM unit and installed at the outlet) and a supply line check (non-return) valve (user-supplied, installed near the oil suction port) prevent backflow while the engine is operating.
If the pump is installed above the minimum oil level, a check valve must be installed. Pressure relief valve: If the OXM/OGM heating system is for use with a closed, pressurized fluid system, additional, user-supplied pressure relief must be installed along the heating system outlet plumbing. User-supplied pressure relief valve plumbing must be routed back to oil sump, oil tank or atmospheric pressure.

OOE: Before removing and replacing an RTD, ensure the RTD is malfunctioning. See SECOIO 5.2.10. Figure 11. OXM/OGM high-limit RTD (A) and control RTD (B). De-energize the heating system. Allow fluid to cool. Close isolation valves. Drain fluid from the oil heating tank.
5.2.12 HEATING TANK/ELEMENT 5.2.13 REASSEMBLY OF HEATING ELEMENT AND TANK WARNING To reassemble the heating element and tank, follow the Hazardous voltage: Before wiring, servicing or cleaning steps listed in SECOIO 5.2.12 in reverse order. Make the heating system, turn off the power and follow your sure the ground and power electrical wires are properly organization’s lockout and tagout procedure.

During the offseason, or during periods in which the heating system is not active for a month or longer, HOTSTART recommends running the heating system for a minimum of 20 minutes each month. Circulating and heating fluid at regular intervals will reduce pump seal wear and promote pump seal longevity.
