The following documents form an integral part of this
manual:

- Motor use and maintenance manual;
- Installation manual;
- Service Booklet;
- Guarantee certificate;
- Guarantee card.
1.3 Safety regulations
- Please read all the information in this manual and in the
installation manual carefully; this is essential for cor-
rect installation and use of the group and to enable you
to intervene quickly in case of need.
- Do not allow unauthorised or untrained persons to use
the group.
- Do not allow children or animals to approach the group
when in operation.
- Do not work on the generator or on the remote control
panel with wet hands, as the generator is a potential
source of electricity if incorrectly used.
- Any controls carried out on the generator group must
be carried out with the motor turned off; controls that
require the group to be in operation must only be
carried out by specialised personnel.
- Do not breathe the exhaust fumes produced by the
machine, as they might damage your health.
DANGER
In case of any leakage of oil or fuel, clean immedi-
ately to avoid any risk of fire.
DANGER
In case of fire, use fire extinguishers to extinguish;
never use water.
2 DESCRIPTION OF THE GENERATOR
2.1 General description
The IS 9000-9500 generator group has been designed
to be installed with ease aboard boats.
The soundproofing structure, which uses insulated pan-
els in marine aluminium, allows easy access to the motor
and alternator for maintenance and control operations,
and at the same time gives a high level of sound
reduction.
The 4-stroke, indirect injection Diesel engine, built by
Yanmar, is extremely reliable and robust. The alterna-
tor, which is a synchronous one, is equipped with an
automatic voltage regulator (AVR) that guarantees sta-
GB
bility to +/- 5% of the rated value. The alternator's
excellent pick-up makes the generator group particu-
larly suited to supply electric motors such as those fitted
in air conditioning and desalination devices, compres-
sors, etc.
The group is equipped with a remote control panel,
complete with connection cable, to be fitted on the
command deck. A microprocessor is in charge of start-
up, stoppage and control of protection devices.
2.2 Generator components
The generator is made up of the following components:
- soundproofing structure [fig. 1, ref. 1];
- motor group [fig. 1, ref. 2];
- alternator group [fig. 1, ref. 3];
- water - water heat exchange group [fig. 1, ref. 4];
- air - water heat exchange group [fig. 1, ref. 5];
- electrical connection panel [fig. 1, ref. 6];
2.3 Cooling system
The generator group motor is cooled by a closed circuit
system containing a heat exchanger that uses sea
water. The heat exchanger, in cupronickel, has been
specially designed by mase for use in a salt water
environment.
When the group is installed a system for intake of the
cooling water is provided (a direct inlet system is recom-
mended), along with the drainage system for the mixture
of used water and exhaust fumes.
2.4 Remote control panel
Extremely small in size (3.4 x 4.9 in), this is equipped
with a 11 yd. long screened connection cable. Manufac-
tured using state-of-the-art technology, it incorporates a
microprocessor and SMD (miniaturised) components.
The shockproof polyester keyboard, with protection
level IP54 contains an electronic hour counter [fig. 2, ref.
1], the ON / START / OFF commands [fig. 2, ref. 2-4],
function indicators [fig. 2, ref. 5-6], and alarm indicators
[fig. 2, ref. 7-9] for low oil pressure, motor overheating
and alternator overload (see Chapter 4).
The control panel is made up of [fig. 2];
1 - Hour counter
2 - OFF button
3 - START button
4 - ON button
5 - Panel ON indicator (green)
6 - Generator output indicator (green)
7 - Oil pressure indicator (red)
8 - Engine temperature indicator (red)
9 - Alternator temperature indicator (red)
