Safety
This safety section lists basic safety precautions. In addition, this section identifies hazardous, warning situations. Read and understand the basic precautions listed in the safety section before
operating or performing lubrication, maintenance and repair on this product.
Operation
Operating techniques outlined in this manual are basic. They assist with developing the skills and techniques required to operate the engine more efficiently and economically. Skill and techniques develop as the operator gains knowledge of the engine and its capabilities.
The operation section is a reference for operators. Photographs and illustrations guide the operator through procedures of inspecting, starting, operating and stopping the engine. This section also includes a discussion of electronic diagnostic information.
Maintenance
The maintenance section is a guide to engine care. The illustrated, step-by-step instructions are grouped by service hours and/or calendar time maintenance intervals. Items in the maintenance schedule are referenced to detailed instructions that follow.
Recommended service should be performed at the appropriate intervals as indicated in the Maintenance Interval Schedule. The actual operating environment of the engine also governs the Maintenance Interval Schedule. Therefore, under extremely severe, dusty, wet or freezing cold operating conditions, more frequent lubrication and maintenance than is specified in the Maintenance Interval Schedule may be necessary.
The maintenance schedule items are organized for a preventive maintenance management program. If the preventive maintenance program is followed, a periodic tune-up is not required. The implementation of a preventive maintenance management program should minimize operating costs through cost avoidances resulting from reductions in unscheduled downtime and failures.
Maintenance Intervals
Perform maintenance on items at multiples of the original requirement. We recommend that the
maintenance schedules be reproduced and displayed near the engine as a convenient reminder. We also recommend that a maintenance record be maintained as part of the engine’s permanent record.
Your authorized Perkins dealer or your Perkins distributor can assist you in adjusting your maintenance schedule to meet the needs of your operating environment.
Overhaul
Major engine overhaul details are not covered in the Operation and Maintenance Manual except for the interval and the maintenance items in that
interval. Major repairs should only be carried out by Perkins authorized personnel. Your Perkins dealer or your Perkins distributor offers a variety of options regarding overhaul programs. If you experience
a major engine failure, there are also numerous after failure overhaul options available. Consult with your Perkins dealer or your Perkins distributor for information regarding these options.

Product Description
The Perkins Engines were developed in order to provide gas engines for generator set applications. The engines have the ability to burn a wide variety of gaseous fuels.
Fuel System
The fuel is delivered to the gas control valve. The gas must be at a constant pressure and the gas pressure must be stable. The pressure must be within a range of 5 to 25 kPa (0.72 to 3.6 psi). Higher pressure will need to be reduced with an additional gas regulator.
The venturi is located in the gas mixer body immediately before the turbocharger. As air is accelerated through the venturi gas is mixed with the air. This mixture is compressed by the turbocharger. The mixture passes through the tumbulator, and the charge coolers, and into the inlet manifolds. The speed and the load is governed by electronically controlled throttle valves.
A digitally controlled gas valve maintains the air/fuel ratio. This system is adjustable. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting for details. This is the only means of adjusting the exhaust emissions.
Ignition System
The engine is equipped with an Electronic Ignition System (EIS). The EIS provides dependable firing and low maintenance. The EIS provides precise control of the following factors:
16 |
SEBU8430 |
Product Information Section |
|
Model Views and Specifications |
|
•Voltage
•Duration of the spark
•Ignition timing
•Level of energy of the ignition
All 4016TRS gas engines are equipped with a device to detect detonation which is connected directly into the ignition system. This device automatically retards the ignition timing.
The ignition timing is retarded when excessive detonation is sensed. If detonation continues after full retardation, then the engine must be shut down.
Lubrication System
The engine lubrication oil is supplied by a pump that is driven by a gear. The oil is cooled and the oil is filtered. A bypass valve provides unrestricted flow of lubrication oil to the engine parts if the oil filter elements become plugged. The bypass valve will open if the oil filter differential pressure reaches 34.4 to 48.2 kPa (5 to 7 psi). The engine oil pressure operates in a range of 415 to 450 kPa (60 to 65 psi).
Note: The engine lubrication oil is not filtered when the bypass valve is open. Do not allow the engine to operate when the bypass valve is open. This can damage the engine components.
The system is used when recovery of heat is not an important factor.
Cogeneration engine
Cogeneration uses energy from heat which would otherwise be wasted.
The following items are not supplied:
•Water pumps
•Water temperature regulator ( thermostat)
•All water tube assemblies
This system is the responsibility of the OEM.
Engine Service Life
Engine efficiency and maximum utilization of engine performance depend on adherence to proper operation and maintenance recommendations. This includes the use of recommended lubricants, fuels, and coolants.
For the engine maintenance that is required, refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual,
“Maintenance Interval Schedule” in the Maintenance Section.
i02885756
Cooling System
The water enters the engine from the oil cooler and the water is passed through the cylinder block. The water exits the cylinder head into the rail. The water exits the engine from the water outlet.
Electrounit
This type of engine is supplied with the following components:
•Jacket water coolant pump
•Water temperature regulator (thermostat)
•Coolant pipe for the charge cooler
•A water pump for the charge cooler

Product Lifting
NOTICE
Never bend the eyebolts and the brackets. Only load the eyebolts and the brackets under tension. Remember that the capacity of an eyebolt is less as the angle between the supporting members and the object becomes less than 90 degrees.
To remove the engine ONLY, use the lifting eyes that are on the engine. If necessary, remove engine components in order to avoid damage from the lifting device.
Lifting eyes are designed and installed for specific engine arrangements. Alterations to the lifting eyes and/or the engine make the lifting eyes and the lifting fixtures obsolete. If alterations are made, ensure that correct lifting devices are provided. Consult your Perkins dealer or your Perkins distributor for information regarding fixtures for correct engine lifting.

Gauges and Indicators
Gauges are supplied by the OEM. For more information about the gauge package, see the OEM information.
Gauges provide indications of engine performance. Ensure that the gauges are in good working order. Determine the normal operating range by observing the gauges over a period of time.
Noticeable changes in gauge readings indicate potential gauge or engine problems. Problems may also be indicated by gauge readings that change even if the readings are within specifications. Determine and correct the cause of any significant change in the readings. Consult your Perkins dealer or your Perkins distributor for assistance.
NOTICE
If no oil pressure is indicated, STOP the engine. If maximum coolant temperature is exceeded, STOP the engine. Engine damage can result.
Engine Oil Pressure – The range for the engine oil pressure is 415 to 450 kPa (60 to 65 psi).
Jacket Water Coolant Temperature –
Typical water temperature into the engine is 71°C (160°F). Higher temperatures
may occur under certain conditions. The water temperature reading may vary according to load. The reading should never exceed 96°C (204°F).
1.A high water temperature switch is installed in the cooling system.
2.A low oil pressure switch is installed in the oil gallery of the engine.

Performance Parameters
Air/Fuel Ratio
The correct air/fuel ratio is very important for the following considerations:
•Margin of detonation
•Control of emissions
•Engine performance
•Achieving optimum service life for the engine
•Compliance with legal requirements
If the air/fuel ratio is not appropriate for the fuel and the operating conditions, a failure of the engine may occur. The service life of the turbochargers, the valves, and other components may be reduced.

Sensors and Electrical Components
Electronic Ignition System (EIS)
The Electronic Ignition System includes the following components:
•The control module for the ignition
•Timing sensor
•Ignition coil on each cylinder
•Spark plugs
•Ignition harness
The ignition system generates high voltage. Do not come in contact with the ignition system with the engine in operation. This voltage can cause personal injury or death.
The gas supply to the control valve for the air/fuel ratio must be between 5 to 25 kPa (0.72 to 3.6 psi). If a higher pressure is required a separate gas regulator must be installed into the fuel line.
The temperature of the gas into the air/fuel ratio control system must be between 5 to 40 °C (41 to 104°F).
Note: No zero pressure regulator is required with the air/fuel ratio control system for the 4016-61TRS engine.
Air, Charge Cooler Water
Temperature and Altitude
Refer to technical date sheet for the charts for the derate in order to determine the maximum
temperatures into the engine and the altitude derate.
The EIS control module is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts. The timing sensor uses the magnets that are mounted on the camshaft in order to generate the timing pulses. One pulse for each cylinder plus an index magnet in order to indicate the start of each cycle. The EIS control module has a output to each ignition coil. To initiate combustion in each cylinder, the EIS sends a pulse to the primary winding of the ignition coil. The coil increases the voltage on the secondary winding which creates a spark across the spark plug electrode.
The electronic ignition system provides control for the following activities:
•Ignition timing
•Ignition energy
•Protection from detonation
Switches
The engine is installed with the following switches.
•High cooling water temperature switch
•Low oil pressure switch
•High pressure switch for the manifold

Features and Controls |
Governor
The engine is installed with a digital governor that includes the following components:
•Digital governor
•Actuators and throttle valves
•Magnetic pickup
•Wiring harness
The governor uses the magnetic pickup to sense engine speed from the flywheel gear teeth. This signal is fed into the governor, which drives an actuator. This is connected to the throttle valves in order to control the amount of combustion gas/air.
A DC Desk service tool with the appropriate software key and cable are required in order to perform any adjustments to the system.
Engines may be equipped with optional engine protective devices that are not included in this section. This section contains some general information about the function of typical engine protective devices.
Alarms and shutoffs are electronically controlled. The operation of all alarms and shutoffs utilize components which are actuated by a sensing unit. The alarms and shutoffs are set at critical operating temperatures, pressures, or speeds in order to protect the engine from damage.
The alarms function in order to warn the operator when an abnormal operating condition occurs. The shutoffs function in order to shut down the engine when a more critical abnormal operating condition occurs. The shutoffs help to prevent damage to the engine.
Shutoffs may cause unburned gas to remain in the air inlet and in the exhaust manifold.
Detonation System
The equipment for the detonation system senses detonation or knock which may be caused by poor gas or may be caused by high combustion temperatures.
The detonation system includes the following components:
•Detonation sensor on each cylinder
•Control module for detonation
•Wiring harness
The detonation system operates by measuring vibrations on the crankcase. The signal is processed in order to eliminate normal engine vibrations. If detonation above a predetermined level is detected the ignition timing is retarded. If detonation ceases, the ignition timing that is retarded will be gradually brought back to a normal value. If the engine continues detonation the detonation system will operate in order to stop the engine.
i02427728
Alarms and Shutoffs
The OEM will supply this system. Refer to the OEM for more information.
Unburned gas in the air inlet and exhaust system may ignite when the engine is started. Personal injury and/or property damage may result.
Before starting an engine that may contain unburned gas, purge the unburned gas from the air inlet and exhaust system. Refer to the topic on purging unburned gas in the “Starting the Engine” section.
If an engine protective device shuts off the engine, always determine the cause of the shutoff. Make the necessary repairs before attempting to start the engine.
Become familiar with the following information:
•Types of the alarm and shutoff controls
•Locations of the alarm and shutoff controls
•Conditions which cause each control to function
•Resetting procedure that is required before starting the engine
Testing Alarms and Shutoffs
Alarms must function properly in order to provide timely warning to the operator. Shutoffs help to prevent damage to the engine. It is impossible to determine if the engine protective devices are in good working order during normal operation.
Malfunctions must be simulated in order to test the engine protective devices.
