Normal Manual Startup/Shutdown - Autostart Panel (2001, 4001 Or 4001E Series); Automatic Startup/Shutdown - Autostart Panel (2001, 4001 Or 4001E Series) - FG Wilson OLYMPIAN 1001 Series Manual

WHEN ENGINE HAS STARTED
4. Check for any abnormal noise or vibration.
5. Check for fluid leakage or leaks in the exhaust
system.
6. Check the control panel for indications of abnormal
operation, particularly abnormally high temperature or
abnormally low oil pressure. The oil pressure should
be in the normal range within about 10 seconds of
starting.
7. Switch the Alternator Output Circuit Breaker to "ON"
(handle up).
Note:

Load can now be applied to the generating set.
However the maximum step load that can be
accepted in any one step is dependent on the
operating temperature of the set. With the generator
cold (not more than 20°C (68°F)) the maximum step
load acceptance is approximately 50% of rated
output. However with the set at normal operating
temperature (approximately 80°C (176°F)) the
maximum step load can be 70-100% of the rated load
depending on the generating set model. Typically
generating sets up to 100 kVA can accept a 100%
load.
8. Shutdown: To shut the generating set down, turn off
the load by switching the Alternator Output Circuit
Breaker to "OFF" (handle down). Allow the
generating set to run without load for a few minutes to
cool. Then turn the Key Switch to Position "O" (Off).
The generating set will shutdown.
In case of an emergency where immediate shutdown
is necessary, the Key Switch should be turned to
Position "O" (Off) immediately without disconnecting
the load.
Note:

Turning the Key Switch to Position "O" (Off) will also
reset the protective circuits after a fault has been
detected. Ensure that the fault has been rectified
prior to restarting the generating set.
5.4 Normal Manual Startup/Shutdown - Autostart Panel
(2001, 4001 or 4001E Series)
The following procedure should be used for normal manual
starts on a generating set equipped with a 2001, 4001 or
4001E Series Autostart Control System:
Note:

The generating set may be stopped at any time by
pushing the Emergency Stop Pushbutton or turning
the Control Switch to "STOP".

Pressing the Emergency Stop Pushbutton also
illuminates the "OVERSPEED" fault lamp even
though an overspeed has not occurred. Prior to
restarting the set, the Emergency Stop Pushbutton
must be released by turning it clockwise. The fault
lamp must also be reset by turning the Control Switch
to "STOP".
1. Complete Pre-Start checks as per Section 5.2.
Note:

The engine will not start if any fault indicators are
illuminated. Reset the control system by turning the
Control Switch to "STOP". Ensure the faults have
been corrected prior to attempting to start the
generating set.
2. Manual Start: Ensure the Emergency Stop
Pushbutton and any remote Stop Pushbuttons are
released. Turn the Control Switch to "RUN". If the
engine is cold, prior to turning the Control Switch to
"RUN" push in the thermostart button, if fitted, for 15
seconds and then turn the Control Switch to "RUN".
Continue holding the thermostart button in until the
engine fires.
The engine will automatically crank up to 3 times or
until the engine fires. If the engine does not fire, the
control system locks-out on "FAIL TO START" and
illuminates a fault lamp on the control panel. If this
happens refer to the trouble shooting guide in Section
4.5 or a qualified generating set technician to
determine the cause of failure to start.

5.5 Automatic Startup/Shutdown - Autostart Panel (2001,
4001 or 4001E Series)
The following procedure should be used for preparing a
generating set equipped with a 2001, 4001 or 4001E
Series Autostart Control System to be started from a
remote location.
Note:

The generating set may be stopped at any time by
pushing the Emergency Stop Pushbutton or turning
the Control Switch to "STOP".

Pressing the Emergency Stop Pushbutton also
illuminates the "OVERSPEED" fault lamp even
though an overspeed has not occurred. Prior to
restarting the set, the Emergency Stop Pushbutton
must be released by turning it clockwise. The fault
lamp must also be reset by turning the Control Switch
to "STOP".
1. Complete Pre-Start checks as per Section 5.2.
Note:

The engine will not be able to start if any fault
indicators are illuminated. Reset the control system
by turning the Control Switch to "STOP". Ensure the
faults have been corrected prior to attempting to start
the generating set.
2. Automatic Start: Ensure the Emergency Stop
Pushbutton and any remote Stop Pushbuttons are
released. Turn the Control Switch to "AUTO".
3. Switch the Alternator Output Circuit Breaker to "ON"
(handle up).
The generating set is now ready to automatically start
when it receives a remote start signal. When the
start signal is removed it will automatically stop.
