Page 6: Safety And Other Warnings
MAG-179 Version 3 – APR/16 1 SAFETY AND OTHER WARNINGS For safety reasons, the Dieselguard System must be installed, operated and serviced only by competent personnel. Please read and understand this instruction manual completely before installing, operating or servicing this equipment. Failure to install or operate this instrument in accordance with the instructions contained in this manual may create hazardous operating conditions. -
Page 7: Receiving And Storage
All equipment should be stored indoors between 0-40˚C, preferably on shelves and protected from moisture and sunlight. In order to maximise the lifespan of the battery installed in the Dieselguard unit, it is recommended that the Dieselguard be connected to a power supply during extended storage periods. -
Page 8: Product Overview
The Diesel Machine Monitor is an Exm ia certified product that is powered from the alternator supply of the vehicle. Apart from the supply power all other connection to the Dieselguard Control unit are Ex ia Intrinsically Safe (IS) circuits. -
Page 9: Diesel Machine Monitor Wireless Antenna
The Dieselguard Machine Monitor is equipped with wireless capability that allows the user to connect to the unit, through the use of the Dieselguard Base Station, and configure alarm trip points, provide real time status information and download logged data. -

Term1: Sensor V+ Term1: 0V Figure 4.5: Typical Connection Diagram for the Dieselguard System With the exception of the encapsulated flying lead, all of the connections to the Diesel Machine Monitor are IS circuits and should be wired accordingly. In some locations it may be necessary to protect IS cabling from mechanical damage. -

Cores 1, 2 & 3 of the Type 2S cable should ideally connect to 0V. Core 4 of the Type 2S cable should be connected to the +ve of the alternator supply. The Dieselguard system is not polarity sensitive, thus the connections can be reversed if required. - Page 18 4.4.5 IDA Display Connections (Terminal Block 1 & 3) The IDA display output terminals provide supply and control of the Dieselguard System’s intrinsically safe display. Terminal Block 1: IDA V+ should be connected to the 12V supply input of the IDA display.
- Page 19 (typically an oil sensor). The Oil input accepts a 0-5V input and records this information in the Diesel Machine Monitor’s log. NOTE If not in use, the Oil Input should be connected to the 0V terminal to prevent the input from floating. Uncontrolled Copy - Refer to Ampcontrol Website for Latest Version Page 19 of 27...

20 second test. The Dieselguard Machine Monitor is a blind control unit that can be mounted in any convenient position. The gas sensor (Gasguard) would normally be mounted near the front of the vehicle adjacent to the air filter intake and an IDA 3 digit display or LED status panel indicates the status of the system for the driver. -
Page 22: Cold Start Function
A lockable Pneumatic Bypass Valve can be installed in parallel to the I.S. Solenoid Valve that can be used to override the Dieselguard system. When the bypass valve is used the vehicle can be started without the use of the detection system. -
Page 23: Service, Maintenance & Disposal
This will entail removing the unit from the vehicle and returning it to Ampcontrol. Because of the infrequency of replacing the battery, this could be done as part of a vehicle routine major service. -
Page 24: Equipment Maintenance
