200–2000 kW (depending on gas pressure and composition). NOTE In the case of variation in gas flow demand, the TecJet 50 gas control valve is able to respond extremely quickly. The benefits of such fast response result in good engine behavior—low fuel consumption, accurate emission levels, and gas flow that completely matches load demand.
Ambient Operating Temperature The TecJet 50 must be operated within a temperature range of –20 to +85 °C (–4 to +185 °F), although the TecJet 50 will survive a soak temperature of 105 °C (221 °F) caused by engine shutdown.
TecJet 50 Menus section in Chapter 3. Power Supply Requirements The input power supply to the TecJet 50 is rated at 18 to 32 Vdc, 24 Vdc nominal. It is protected from reverse voltage connections and up to +80 V on its input.
TecJet 50 connector will prevent disturbances and/or reflections of CAN signals. If your application consists of multiple TecJet 50’s, then pins B and S of the first TecJet 50 should be connected to pins N and V of the second TecJet 50.
Teflon tape particles during the initial start-up. CAUTION—GAS PIPE FLANGES Before installation of the TecJet 50 to the gas pipe, prepare the gas pipe with two flanges which are the same size as the flanges on the TecJet 50 (see Figure 2-8) for further details.

• Connect the TecJet 50 flange to the flange on the gas pipe on both sides, according to DIN 2501 (DN80, PN 10/16) for Europe, or to ANSI B (16,5 3”, 125/150 lb) for North America (see Figure 2-8).
Always ensure that the TecJet 50 is installed using a bracket. Also check the connection between the bracket and the TecJet 50. • Check that the TecJet 50 is installed in the correct direction according to the gas flow. •...
TecJet 50 Manual 36102 Adjust the following application specific parameters of your TecJet 50 before you start the engine: Window Adjustment Fuel Parameters Window Adjust the Density of the gas. Adjust the “Wobbe index act. gas” and the “Wobbe index ref. gas”. Both Wobbe indexes must be equal to each other and set to the Wobbe index of the current gas supply to the engine.

In general, if the “Overall status OK” flag is not set (not crossed), this indicates that there is a problem with the TecJet 50 or its associated systems. A history of problems experienced can be viewed using the View/Error Log menu. Use the error log codes table in this chapter for further details of your specific error code.
