Lcd Alarm Warning - Volvo Penta D3-130A Operator's Manual

LCD Alarm Warnings
In addition to the Alarm display and the buzzer, EVC provides a third form of fault indication. This final type of
warning is provided in textual form and is displayed on the Tachometer/LCD gauge.
Normally, the Tachometer/LCD displays a message that signifies that the engine, drive, and EVC system are all
operating correctly and within parameters by displaying the No Faults screen (please refer to "Menu system; Main
menu")
When a malfunction occurs, the LCD screen automati-
cally changes to display the fault that has occurred.
When you return to the "No Faults" screen, it displays
the word "Faults." Additionally, you will see a flashing
"AL" in the upper left corner of the LCD screen, regard-
less of the menu screen.
An example of a malfunction is the coolant temperature
running too high. When the engine coolant temperature
reaches a level that may cause engine damage, the
system automatically overrides which ever screen is
being displayed and replaces it with the screen shown
at left.
If more than one alarm is active, there will also be a
down arrow button in this screen. You may scroll down
to the next alarm by using the down arrow button. You
can leave this warning screen at any time by pressing
the left arrow button. Once you have left the displayed
fault screen, you will be returned to the original screen
you were viewing before the error occurred.
EVC System Malfunctions
Volvo Penta continually strives to manufacture prod-
ucts that are foolproof. Consequently, our products are
designed with a variety of fail-safe features.
The EVC system has been designed and developed to
be robust, rugged, and impervious to the marine envi-
ronment. An EVC system failure is highly unlikely;
however, in the event that a fault does occur, it will not
affect your ability to operate the boat.
EVC has been designed to continually self-diagnose it-
self. If a fault is found (e.g. a short in the electrical
system), EVC may stop providing information about
the boat's systems. If a fault is found with one sensor
that does not affect EVC's ability to read another, the
other sensor's data will continue to be provided.
NOTE! At all times, even if a fault is detected, EVC al-
lows you to operate the engine and throttle control as
you would without EVC. However, if EVC fails or is dis-
connected, you will not be able to trim the drive.
The image at left is an example of an alarm that may
be displayed if an EVC system fault occurs.
