Starting The Engine; Alarm - Volvo Penta TAMD71B Instruction Manual

5.2 Starting the engine

Turn the MAIN SWITCH clockwise to switch on
the control unit. The PWR ON indication on unit
505 is illuminated and the system is ready to
start. The instruments, alarm system and inter-
lock for autostop are activated. Alarm units 501
and 502 indicate the alarms which are in an
alarm state before starting, by constantly illumi-
nated LEDs. The engine is started by pressing
the green START button on unit 506. About 8-10
seconds after starting the engine, all interlocks
are released and the engine monitors itself for
alarms and autostop. The green RUN indication
on unit 505 is lit and shows that the engine is
running. When the engine has started, the alarm
indications on units 501 and 502 go out.

5.3 Alarm

If an alarm occurs during operation, alarm units
501 or 502 will indicate a fault in the engine by
means of a flashing LED. The alarm is reset with
the RESET button on alarm unit 501. The LED
will then be constantly illuminated. If the fault is
mended or disappears, the LED goes out. The
example in figure 5.7 illustrates the alarm for fuel
leakage.
