The exhaust system must be leakproof and routinely inspected.
Carbon monoxide symptoms. Carbon monoxide can cause severe nausea, fainting, or death. Carbon
monoxide is a poisonous gas present in exhaust gases. Carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms include but are not limited to the following:
D Light-headedness, dizziness D Physical fatigue, weakness in
joints and muscles
D Sleepiness, mental fatigue,
inability to concentrate or speak clearly, blurred vision
D Stomachache, vomiting, nausea
If experiencing any of these symptoms and carbon monoxide poisoning is possible, seek fresh air immediately and remain active. Do not sit, lie down, or fall asleep. Alert others to the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning. Seek medical attention if the condition of affected persons does not improve within minutes of breathing fresh air.
Copper tubing exhaust systems. Carbon monoxide can cause severe nausea, fainting, or death. Do not
use copper tubing in diesel exhaust systems. Sulfur in diesel exhaust causes rapid deterioration of copper tubing exhaust systems, resulting in exhaust/water leakage.
Inspecting the exhaust system. Carbon monoxide can cause severe nausea, fainting, or death. For the
safety of the craft’s occupants, install a carbon monoxide detector. Consult the boat builder or dealer for approved detector location and installation. Inspect the detector before each generator set use. In addition to routine exhaust system inspection, test the carbon monoxide detector per the manufacturer’s instructions and keep the detector operational at all times.

Section 1 Specifications
1.1 Introduction
The specification sheets for each generator set provide specific generator and engine information. Refer to the respective specification sheet for data not supplied in this manual. Consult the generator set service manual, installation manual, engine operation manual, and engine service manual for additional specifications.
1.2 Specifications
The alternator is a 4-pole, rotating-field unit with a brushless, permanent-magnet-generator (PMG) excitation system. The generator set excitation system uses a permanent-magnet exciter with a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) assembly that controls the amount of DC current supplied to the generator field. The voltage regulator sends a signal to the SCR assembly through an optical coupling. The voltage regulator bases the signal on engine speed and generator output voltage. The signal turns a stationary light-emitting diode (LED) on or off. The LED is mounted on the end bracket opposite a photo transistor board that rotates on the shaft. The photo transistor receives the signal from the LED and signals the SCR assembly to turn on or off. See Figure 1-1.
PMG, Fast-Responset II generator sets offer the following advantages:
and 200--300% for the duration of the short circuit. The SCR assembly sends full exciter power to the main field and the generator sustains up to 300% of rated current. The sustained high current causes the correspondingly rated load circuit fuses/breakers to trip. The safeguard breaker kit collapses the generator set’s main field during a sustained heavy overload or short circuit.

2.6.3 Auxiliary Fault Lamp Conditions
The following descriptions define the possible auxiliary fault lamp conditions.
Flashing Lamp Conditions
Emergency Stop Switch Reset. Resetting the optional emergency stop switch while the generator set master switch is in the AUTO or RUN position causes the auxiliary lamp to light. Place the generator set master switch in the OFF/RESET position to clear the auxiliary lamp ON condition.
No AC Output. The auxiliary lamp flashes immediately if the controller senses no AC output while the generator set runs (except during the first 10 seconds after startup). The flashing stops and the light goes out when the controller senses AC output. The controller requires no manual reset.
Low Battery Voltage. The auxiliary lamp flashes if the battery power was reconnected or was low and then restored while the generator set master switch was in the RUN or AUTO position. A possible cause is a temporary low battery condition when the battery is weak or undersized for the application. To clear the low battery voltage condition, place the generator set master switch in the OFF/RESET position.
Continuous-On Lamp Conditions
Emergency Stop Switch Energized. Upon activation of the emergency stop switch, if equipped, the auxiliary lamp lights and the generator set shuts down immediately.
Note: Auxiliary Delay Shutdown. The auxiliary lamp
lights and the engine shuts down 5 seconds after the high oil temperature (P1-13) or auxiliary delay shutdown (P1-15) fault, if equipped, occurs. Auxiliary Delay Shutdown is inhibited during the first 30 seconds after crank disconnect.
Note: Overvoltage Shutdown. If a generator set is
equipped with this kit, the auxiliary lamp lights and the engine shuts down immediately when an overvoltage condition occurs.
Note: Auxiliary Immediate Shutdown. The auxiliary
lamp lights and the engine shuts down immediately when any customer-supplied sensing devices connected to auxiliary immediate shutdown ports (P1-17 and P1-18) activate them.

2.6.4 Starting the Generator Set
2.6.5 Stopping the Generator Set
The following procedures describe starting the generator set.
Local Starting (Nonautomatic). Move the generator set master switch to the RUN position to start the generator set at the controller.
Automatic (Auto) Starting. Move the generator set master switch to the AUTO position to allow startup by the automatic transfer switch or remote start/stop switch (connected to controller terminals TB1-3 and TB1-4).
Note: The alarm horn sounds whenever the generator
set master switch is not in the AUTO position.
Note: The transient start/stop function of the
Decision-Makert3+ controller prevents accidental cranking of the rotating engine. When the generator set master switch is momentarily placed in the OFF/RESET position, then quickly returned to RUN, the generator set slows to 249 rpm and then recranks before returning to its rated speed.
Note: The Decision-Makert 3+ controller’s automatic
restart function attempts to restart the generator set if the engine speed drops below 390 rpm (generator output frequency of 13 Hz). Continued decreased engine speed causes an overcrank fault condition.
The following procedures describe stopping the generator set.
Normal Stopping
1. Cooldown. Run the generator set at no load for 5 minutes to ensure adequate engine cooldown.
2. Stopping. Move the generator set master switch to the OFF/RESET position. The engine stops.
Note: The generator set continues running during
a 5-minute cooldown cycle if a remote switch or automatic transfer switch signals the engine to stop.
Emergency Stopping
Move the generator set master switch to the OFF/RESET position or activate the remote emergency stop, if equipped, for immediate shutdown. The controller AUXILIARY lamp lights and the generator set shuts down on activation of the emergency stop switch. The remote annunciator and/or A/V alarms, if equipped, signal an emergency stop.
Crank Mode Selection
The Decision-Makert3+ controller cranks continuously for up to 45 seconds or cyclically for up to 75 seconds (crank 15 seconds, rest 15 seconds, crank 15 seconds, etc.) before overcrank shutdown. Select the crank mode (cyclic or continuous) on the controller circuit board terminal strip. For cyclic cranking, leave circuit board terminal TB2-9 open. For continuous cranking, attach a jumper between circuit board terminal TB2-9A (ground) and terminal TB2-9.
TP-6109 6/0312 Section 2 Operation
Page 23
2.6.6 Prime Power Mode Operation
2.6.7 Fault Shutdowns
The Decision-Makert 3+ controller operates in either the normal mode or the prime power mode. In prime power mode, the controller draws less current, minimizing the battery drain. Consider using the prime power mode for installations that do not have a battery charger.
Moving the generator set master switch to the OFF/RESET position disables all controller functions. Moving the generator set master switch to the AUTO position restores controller functions.
Enabling and Disabling the Prime Power Mode.
Enable the prime power mode by connecting jumpers across the following terminals on terminal strip TB2 on the controller circuit board:
D TB2-1P and TB2-2P
D TB2-3P and TB2-4P
D TB2-3 and TB2-4
See Figure 2-3. Remove the jumpers listed above to disable the prime power mode.
Prime Power Starting. The prime power mode provides local starting only at the controller. When the generator set master switch is in the OFF/RESET position, the controller functions are inoperative. Move the generator set master switch to the AUTO position to start the generator set. Do not start the generator set with the master switch in the RUN position because the alarm horn will sound.
Note: Move the generator set master switch to the
AUTO position to return controller functions to normal.
Prime Power Stopping. Move the generator set master switch to the OFF/RESET position to stop the generator set and power down the controller.
Note: The controller functions are inoperative when the
generator set master switch is in the OFF/RESET position.
The generator set shuts down automatically under the following fault conditions and cannot be restarted until the fault condition is corrected. The system automatically resets when the problem is corrected or the generator set cools (if high engine temperature was the fault).
