If the solenoid is not getting power check the wiring and fuses. Check the supply pressure to the solenoid. If the pumps are running check the engine and compressor oil pressures and make sure they are above the permissive settings (settings in the ‘SEQUENCE PARAMETER PAGES). F Ifthe engine is cranking over make sure the panel is displaying an RPM. Check the manual start valve and make sure it is open. Check the starter supply pressure, consult starter manufacturer manual for correct pressure. Check the starter solenoid to make sure itis tuning fon.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE, 8. Appendix 3 — Alarm Logs, Trends and Data Logs Alarm logs, trends and data logs are sometimes very useful in trouble-shooting a problem. The Alarm Log shows the nature of the alarm, when the alarm occurred and if the alarm has been acknowledged. This is supplemented by the historic Shutdown/Alarm Log, The Trend Display shows up to 12 parameters in a trend format. The time base of the trend can be set from 30 minutes and up to 999,999 min (> 1 year). There are 60 samples per trace so a new sample appears every 30 s for the minimum time base of 30 minutes. The engine exhaust temperatures are shown on a separate trend screen, There are two data logs in the REM Vie" system: = HMIDatalog— This is accessible from the OVERVIEW screen and the other is in the controller. The HMI data log screen samples data in a circular buffer for 60 seconds after the engine stops; thus allowing a detailed review from before the engine stopped to after it stopped. Up to 1,000 samples 64 points each can be captured. The sampling frequency is set from a supervisor HMI screen. A review of this data can help determine any recent changes. = Controller Data Log — This data log exists in the controller and is accessible only with the VO Toolkit software. Typically, the sampling period is 15 or 30 minutes allowing data capture for a longer period (1 to 3 months), 9. Appendix 4 — Shutdown/Alarm classes All the input sensors and selected calculated parameters (e.g. torque index) in both the REM Vud"— 500 /A and /S versions can be scaled and have provision for upper and lower alarms and upper and fower shut down limits as appropriate. As well, the alarms and shutdowns can be classified as shown below. The digital, analog, thermocouple and RTD inputs can be configured for different alarm and shutdown classes. B Class A— Alarm/shutdown functions are always enabled. All Class A shutdowns must be cleared before the unit can be started. Examples: engine oil level, compressor cylinder discharge temperature B class B— Alarm/shutdown functions are disabled until the B Timer is started. Class B functions are bypassed until the B Timer expires. Examples: lubricator no flow, engine jacket water temperature, intake manifold temperature Class b— Alarm/shutdown functions are disabled until the b Timer is started. Class functions are bypassed until the b Timer expires. Examples: engine/compressor oil pressures. 9-43 -REM Vue"— 500 /PLC Fie> TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE, B Class C— © Class Other — indication — E Disabled — Alarm/shutdown functions are disabled until the unit is running. Class C functions are then individually monitored. When a Class C function becomes healthy it is enabled, and will cause an alarm/shutdown if it then goes unhealthy. Custom logic as required Alarms and shutdowns are disabled. A sensor failure will generate an alarm No alarms, shutdowns or sensor failure alarm. 94d
