PAGE 11SECTION 2: SYSTEM OPERATIONA. EACH ENGINE CAN BE OPERATED AT THE SWITCH BOARD OR AT THE ENGINE.1.TO START AT THE SWITCH BOARD, PLACE THE ENGINE CONTROL SWITCH (ECS) IN THE STARTPOSITION. THE ENGINE WILL AUTOMATICALLY CRANK TO RUN.2.TO STA RT AT THE ENGINE, PLACE THE ENGINE CONTROL SWITCH (ECS) IN THE 'REMOTE' POSITION.THEN OPERATE THE START SWITCH ON THE ENGINE AND IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY CRANK TO RUN.3.IN BOTH MODES OF OPERATION THE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN AND A FAILURE LIGHT ON THESWITCH BOARD WILL LIGHT FOR ANY OF THE FOUR FAILURES (REVERSE POWER, OVER SPEED, LOWOIL PRESSURE, HIGH WATER TEMPERATURE.)4.THE ENGINE CAN BE STOPPED AT THE SWITCH BOARD BY PLACING THE ENGINE CONTROL SWITCH INTHE OFF (RESET) POSITION, NO MATTER WHERE IT WAS STARTED FROM.5.WHEN THE EMERGENCY STOP PUSH BUTTON ON THE ENGINE IS USED TO STOP THE ENGINE, BEAWARE THAT RESETTING THE BUTTON WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE TO IMMEDIATELY START CRANKINGTO RUN AGAIN UNLESS THE ENGINE CONTROL SWITCH IS RETURNED TO THE OFF POSITION.6.THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR 'IDLE-RUN' SWITCH MUST BE USED WHEN OPERATING THE ENGINE ATIDLE SPEEDS FOR WARM-UP OR MAINTENANCE TESTS.7.VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT CAN BE MADE BY ADJUSTING THE VOLTAGE RHEOSTAT WHILE OBSERVINGTHE VOLTMETER. THE VOLTAGE LEVEL SHOULD BE THE SAME ON ALL PHASES.8.FREQUENCY ADJUSTMENTS CAN BE MADE BY ADJUSTING THE GOVERNOR SPEED SWITCH WHILEOBSERVING THE FREQUENCY METER.9.THE GOVERNOR SPEED SWITCH CAN ALSC BE USED TO BALANCE LOADS BETWEEN ENGINES WHENOPERATION IN PARALLEL. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED BY THE AMMETERS AND ADJUSTING THEIRRESPECTIVE GOVERNOR SPEED SWITCHES ('RAISE' WILL INCREASE THE LOAD AND 'LOWER' WILLDECREASE THE LOAD.)10.THE VOLTMETER SWITCH ON GENERATOR NUMBERS ONE AND TWO WILL ALSO READ ONE FHASE OFTHE LOAD BUS. THE VOLTMETER SWITCH ON GENERATOR NUMBER THREE WILL ALSO READ ONEPHASE OF SHORE POWER.B. EACH GENERATOR IS SET UP TO OPERATE IN PARALLEL BY ANY SCHEME OF MANUALSYNCHRONIZATION. (ALL DISTRIBUTIONS LOAD BREAKERS SHOULD BE CLOSED.)1.START THE FIRST GENERATOR AND CLOSE ITS BREAKER TO THE BUS.2.ADJUST THE VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY FOR THE DESIRED LOAD.3.START THE SECOND GENERATOR AND ADJUST ITS VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY TO MATCH THE BUSBY OBSERVING THE BUS VOLTMETER AND BUS FREQUENCY METER.
