Alarm Display - Volvo Penta D3-130A Operator's Manual

Alarm display

provides you with a visual warning, if and when an alarm occurs, to notify you of an existing malfunction.
The warning lamps light up, in sequence, when the starter key is first turned to the drive position and right after
the engine has been started. Check that all lamps function and that they go out once the engine is started.
If a fault occurs the associated lamp on the alarm display will light up, the Tachometer/LCD display will show an
alarm warning and the alarm buzzer sound.
The alarm buzzer will only go on the first time a fault is detected. If the fault disappear and then come back again,
only the lights will come on (ex. the coolant temperature goes down and then back up). Exception is the depth
alarm that will sound every time the fault is detected.
NOTE! Warning lamps should never light up during operation.
General Warning (red or yellow indication)
The "General Warning lamp" will light up at any fault,
including EVC system faults, single or together with an
other alarm lamp. Additionally, the LCD screen dis-
plays a more specific alarm warning and the buzzer
sounds.
Red: for faults requiring immediate action or attention
by the operator. The buzzer will sound constantly.
Yellow: for less critical faults that are not necessarily
cause for immediate concern, but may result in loss of
performance or funtionality. The buzzer will sound with
three short beeps.
Oil pressure (red indication)
If the oil pressure lamp lights up during operation, the oil
pressure in the engine is too low.
Stop the engine at once.
WARNING! Continued operation when the oil
pressure is too low can cause serious engine
damage.
Check the oil level in the engine. Please refer to
"Maintenance: Lubrication system" to check and top
the oil up.
Also check that the oil filter is not blocked. Please
refer to "Maintenance: Lubrication system"
Water in fuel filter (orange indication)
If the water in fuel lamp lights up, there is too much
water in the water trap in the fuel pre-filter.
Empty the water trap underneath the fuel pre-filter.
Please refer to "In case of emergency".
