The cross section of the power leads should be chosen according to the capacity of the battery chosen and the
maximum length of the lead. The minimum cross section of the lead used should be at least 95 mm2
It is very important for the batteries to be installed as close to the starter motor as possible.
1.3. OPERATION
The system works as follows:
- Connect the batteries to the start-up system using the Main switch.
- Connect the Switch contact in the start-up panel.
- Start by pressing the Start button.
After pressing the start button, start-up consists of three stages:
Movement of the pinion and slow rotation so that it can engage with the flywheel gear.
-
Rotation of the starter motor at maximum torque to start the engine.
-
Disengagement of the starter pinion from the flywheel gear after the engine has started.
-

1.4. START-UP

This start-up sequence must be programmed in the engine PLC as follows.
- Maximum start-up time 20 seconds (1st, 2nd and 3rd attempts) and 30 seconds (4th and 5th attempts).
- Minimum pause between start-up attempts 30 seconds between the first three start-up attempts and 120
seconds between the 4th and 5th start-up attempts.
- After five start-up attempts, the sequence begins again; the time out between sequences is 120 seconds.
The start-up time is a set maximum. Start-up times of less than 20 seconds can be entered as parameters for
the first three start-up attempts and less than 30 seconds for the last two attempts. The same is true for the
pause, which can be increased between start-up attempts.
The engine speed at which it can be considered running and at which the starter must be released from the
crown gear is 400 rpm.
