Operation and Maintenance Instructions Manual 3.3. MECAB Instrument Panel Operation 3.3.1. Operating Instructions IMPORTANT This engine is designed to operate at rated load conditions. For testing purposes, the engine can be run at lower load conditions (lower flow). Running times in any one period should not exceed 30 minutes maximum.
Page 20
Operation and Maintenance Instructions Manual IMPORTANT Do not leave the mode selector switch in the manual run position during automatic operation. The fire pump controller will be unable to stop the engine and damage may occur. Automatic Start Ensure the MECAB instrument panel mode selector switch is in the automatic / manual stop position (Figure 5, “MECAB Instrument Panel”...
Page 21
Operation and Maintenance Instructions Manual Manual Start IMPORTANT The pump controller mode selector should be in the Off position when starting from the engine panel. Ensure to return the pump controller mode to Auto after completing the manual run. To manually start the engine with the TSP controls: Position the mode selector switch to manual run.

4. Fuel System 4.1. Fuel Specification All diesel fire pump drivers manufactured by Clarke are designed, tested and warranted for use only with No. 2-D Diesel Fuel conforming to ASTM International D-975-or European Standard EN 590 diesel fuel- Specification. Although the above referenced fuel specifications allow limited amounts of Biodiesel, 100% petroleum fuel is preferred and should be used whenever possible.
Page 25
Operation and Maintenance Instructions Manual Whenever the fuel system has been opened up for service (lines disconnected, or filters removed), it will be necessary to bleed air from the system. DP6H, DQ6H, DR8H, DS0H, DT2H Loosen the air bleed valve (A) by hand on fuel filter head. Ref: Figure 10, “DP6H, DQ6H, DR8H, &...

5.1. Ambient Conditions Clarke engines are tested in accordance with SAE J1349 (Clarke USA) or ISO 3046 (Clarke UK). In this capacity they may be derated to meet certain site conditions, failure to do so can seriously impede the performance of the engine and could lead to premature failure.

Operation and Maintenance Instructions Manual NOTICE Intake Air Shutoff Valve - Engine may include an intake air shutoff valve as an optional feature that is activated by an overspeed event and provides a positive shutoff of combustion air to the engine.
Page 30
Operation and Maintenance Instructions Manual 5.4. Crankcase Ventilation 5.4.1. DP6H, DQ6H - Open Crankcase Ventilation Vapors which may form within the engine are removed from the crankcase and gear train compartment by a contin- uous, pressurized ventilation system. A slight pressure is maintained within the engine crankcase compartment. Vapors expelled through a vent pipe attached to the rocker cover breather element.
Page 31
Operation and Maintenance Instructions Manual 5.5. Exhaust System Excessive back pressures to the engine exhaust can considerably reduce both engine performance and life. It is therefore important that exhaust systems should be the proper diameter and be as short as possible within the minimum amount of bends.
Page 32
Operation and Maintenance Instructions Manual 6. Lubrication System 6.1. Checking Sump Oil Check the sump oil level using the dipstick on the engine as shown below. This level must always be between the dipstick marks Min. and Max. with the engine not running. DT2H, DR8H, DS0H DP6H, DQ6H 6.2.
Page 33
Operation and Maintenance Instructions Manual DT2H-UFAA60,98,92,-FMAAX8,X2 (wet exhaust manifold) Turn engine off. Put a tray under the filter to retain spilt lubricating oil. Remove the filter with a strap wrench or similar tool. Then dispose of the filter properly. DP6H DQ6H Clean the filter head.
Page 34
Operation and Maintenance Instructions Manual 6.4. Oil Specification This engine is factory-filled with oil. IMPORTANT Do not add makeup oil until the oil level is BELOW the add mark on the dipstick. Oil spec to be used for all engine models: CF-4, CG-4, CH-4 and CIH-4 are also acceptable.
Page 35
7. Cooling System 7.1. Intended Engine Operating Temperature The DP, DQ, DR, DS, & DT engines are provided with either a heat exchanger or radiator to maintain the engine coolant temperature within recommended operating guidelines. • Intended engine operating temperature:160º F (71ºC) to 185º F (85º C).
Page 36
Raw Water Supply Most Clarke diesel engine fire pump drivers are heat exchanger cooled and some engines also have a charge air cooler (CAC) that uses raw water to cool the air before entering the intake manifold. If you have a radiator cooled Clarke engine, you can disregard this section.
Page 37
You will find this datasheet in the documentation bag that is shipped with the engine for your specific Clarke model. This datasheet must be available during commissioning in order to set the proper minimum raw water flow. With the fire pump flowing 150% of rated flow, and the Automatic flow line open;...
Page 38
When this occurs you have no fire protection! Clarke recommends that after the initial engine commissioning and also prior to each weekly exercise of the engine / fire pump set, both strainers be removed and cleaned and then re-installed before starting the engine.

Operation and Maintenance Instructions Manual 8.3.1. MECAB Instrument Panel Over Speed The OVERSPEED RESET (Figure 3-3 item 6) switch is included on the instrument panel. Should an overspeed condition occur, investigate the cause and make necessary corrections before placing engine back in service. The OVERSPEED RESET must be manually lifted for two (2) seconds to reset.
Page 43
“OVERSPEED SHUTDOWN” lamp on the outside of the Clarke instrument panel (Figure 8-4) and a red LED located on the middle of the speed switch inside of the Clarke instrument panel (Figure 8-5). In addition to these flashing status lamps, a “Low Engine Coolant Temperature Alarm” is sent via engine / fire pump controller inter-connect circuit #312 as a means to alert the user outside of the engine room.
Page 44
• Five (5) Blinks Electrical Current Exceeds 10 Amps on Alarm Circuits: Status lamps will flash two times continuously on the Clarke instrument panel and a “Low Engine Coolant Temperature” alarm will be sent to the fire pump controller via circuit #312.
Page 45
Follow over speed verification steps per section 8.3. • Low Oil Pressure DP, DQ, DR, DS: With the engine running, jumper the engine mounted low oil pressure switch at terminal “WK” to “GROUND”. DT only: With the engine running, jumper the engine mounted Low Oil Pressure switch. Wait for 15 seconds and controller alarm will activate.
Page 46
A mechanical governor controls the engine speed. The governor is built into the fuel injection pump. All governors are adjusted to the rated speed at nameplate power or maximum allowed pump load before leaving Clarke. During Start-Up Inspection or when placing reconditioned units into service, some minor speed adjustment may be required.
