EDC III, ”Electronic Diesel Control”, is an electronic system with CAN communication for diesel engine management. The system is developed by Volvo Penta and covers fuel management, diagnostic function, etc. The system consists of a control module, six unit injectors, a number of sensors that provide information to the control
module, and a data link connector for diagnostics and functionality checks. The EDC III system also has a ”stand
alone” interface that can be linked directly to the engine control module on the engine. The engine can be linked to
a ”CAN” interface and a ”Control Interface Unit” (CIU), which is an interface to the operator area.
Control module
The EDC III system processor is located in the control module, protected from moisture and vibrations.
The processor continually receives information regarding:
Engine speed
•
Charge air pressure
•
Charge air temperature
•
Coolant temperature
•
Oil pressure
•
Oil temperature
•
Fuel alarm, combined alarm for ”water in fuel” and
•
”fuel pressure”
Coolant level
•
This information is used to make exact determinations
on current operating conditions and allows the processor to calculate the correct amount of fuel, check the
condition of the engine, etc.
Fuel management
The engine’s fuel need is analyzed up to 100 times
per second (depending on engine speed). The quantity
and timing of fuel injection into the engine are controlled completely electronically via fuel valves on the
unit injectors.
This means that the engine always receives the correct amount of fuel under all operating conditions,
providing benefits including improved fuel economy
and minimized exhaust emissions.
The control module checks and controls the unit injectors so that the correct amount of fuel is injected into
each cylinder. It calculates and sets the injection angle. This control is done primarily with the help of the
tachometer sensors and the combined sensor for
charge air pressure/temperature.
The control module actuates the unit injectors via an
electronic signal to the unit injectors’ electromagnetically controlled fuel valve, which can then be opened
or closed.
When the fuel valve is open, fuel streams by, through
the unit injector holes and out through the fuel channel. Fuel is not injected into the cylinder at this stage.
When the fuel valve is closed, pressure is built up by
the mechanically driven pump piston of the unit injector. Once enough pressure is built up, fuel is injected
into the cylinder via the injector portion.
The fuel valve is reopened and pressure in the unit injector sinks while fuel injection to the cylinder ceases.
To determine when the fuel valve should be opened or
closed, the control module has access to signals from
sensors and switches.
12
Page 4
Group 23 EDC IIIDesign and operation
Calculation of fuel quantity
The amount of fuel injected into a cylinder is calculated by the control module. The calculation gives the
amount of time the fuel valve is closed (as fuel is injected into the cylinder when the fuel valve is closed).
The parameters that determine the amount of fuel injected are:
Requested RPM
•
Engine protection functions
•
Temperature
•
Charge air pressure
•
Cylinder balance
When idling, the control module can provide the cylinders with different amounts of fuel. This makes the
engine idle more evenly. At higher RPM, all cylinders
receive an equal amount of fuel.
Diagnostic function
The EDC III system has an internal diagnostic function that makes it possible to detect faults in the engine and sensor.
The role of the diagnostic function is to detect and localize disruptions in the EDC III system, protect the
engine and ensure that the machine remains in working order during serious disturbances.
If a disturbance arises, the diagnostic indicator on the
indicator panel begins blinking. When the diagnosis
button is pressed, an error code is given as guidance
for any fault detection. The diagnostic function can be
read out via the display using the PC diagnostics program.
Idle adjustment (low idle)
Idle can be adjusted to a value between 600 and
1200 RPM.

Component description
The digits after the headings refer to ”Component diagram and location”.
Water monitor, fuel pre-filter (19)
The monitor is located on the bottom of the fuel prefilter.
Its role is to guard against water in the fuel system.
The monitor consists of two copper pins between
which resistance is measured. When resistance falls
below the limit value, which indicates that there is water in the fuel, a warning signal is sent to the control
module.
Tachometer sensor, camshaft (2)
The tachometer sensor is located on the upper timing
cover. The tachometer sensor, which is linked to the
camshaft, is an inductive sensor. It reads a toothed
wheel with seven pins. The impulses from the camshaft sensor provide the control module information on
which cylinder is next in line for injection and when it
receives it.
Oil pressure/temperature sensor
(10)
Oil pressure and oil temperature are measured by a
combined sensor that is located on the left-hand side
of the engine, next to the control module.
The sensor is mounted in the engine block so that
measurement is taken from the oil system’s main
channel. The sensor consists of a non-linear resistor
whose resistance is dependant on the temperature of
the resistor body. Resistance decreases as temperature increases. The pressure signal is a voltage signal
proportional to the pressure. The reference voltage for
the sensor is 5 Volts.
14
Page 6
Group 23 EDC IIIDesign and operation
Tachometer sensor, flywheel (18)
This sensor is located on the left-hand side of the flywheel housing.
The tachometer sensor on the flywheel is an inductive
sensor. It reads the crankshaft position and engine
speed using grooves in the flywheel. The signal is
sent to the control module, which calculates the injection angle and amount of fuel.
Charge air pressure/temperature
sensor (6)
Charge air pressure and charge air temperature are
measured with a combined sensor located on the intake manifold.
The charge air pressure sensor measures absolute
pressure, which is the sum of the charge air pressure
and atmospheric pressure. The sensor sends a signal
to the control module in the form of voltage that is proportional to the absolute pressure. The sensor receives
a reference voltage of 5 Volts from the control module.
The charge air temperature sensor consists of a nonlinear resistor whose resistance depends on the temperature of the resistor body. Resistance decreases
as temperature increases.
Coolant temperature sensor (15)
The sensor is located on the left-hand rear portion of
the cylinder head.
The sensor reads the temperature of the engine coolant and sends the information to the control module.
It consists of a non-linear resistor whose resistance
depends on the temperature of the resistor body. Resistance decreases as temperature increases.
Fuel pressure monitor (12)
The monitor is located on the left-hand side of the
engine, mounted in the fuel filter bracket.
Its task is to detect if the fuel pressure falls below
29 psi (2 BAR). The monitor is set to shut off when
pressure falls below 29 psi (2 BAR).
15
Page 7
Group 23 EDC IIIDesign and operation
Coolant level monitor (1)
This monitor is located in the expansion tank.
Its task is to detect if the coolant level in the cooling
system (expansion tank) is too low. The monitor consists of a contact that can be actuated magnetically.
A hull located around the monitor actuates the contact
differently depending on the coolant level. An alarm
signal is sent if the coolant level is too low.
Electronic Control Unit (ECU) (11)
The control module (EMS) checks and controls the
unit injectors so that the correct amount of fuel is injected into each cylinder. It calculates and sets the injection angle. This control is done primarily with the
help of the tachometer sensors and the combined
sensor for charge air pressure/temperature.
The EDC III system processor is located in the control unit, protected from moisture and vibrations.
The processor continually receives information regarding:
engine speed
•
charge air pressure
•
charge air temperature
•
coolant temperature
•
oil pressure
•
oil temperature
•
fuel alarm, combined alarm for ”water in fuel” and
•
”fuel pressure”
coolant level
•
This information is used to make exact determinations
on current operating conditions and allows the processor to calculate the correct amount of fuel, check the
condition of the engine, etc.
Control Interface Unit (CIU)
The CIU is a control unit that handles all interaction
with the operator.
It communicates with the engine over two serial communication buses. J1939 is used for controlling and
monitoring the engine. J1587 is used for diagnostics
and backup.
The CIU loads a number of switches and speed requests and forwards them to the engine. It also controls four analogue instruments and up to nine warning
lamps. Using a diagnosis button and diagnostic lamp,
the operator can read out error codes from the system.
16
Page 8
Group 23 EDC IIIDesign and operation
Unit injectors (20)
The unit injectors are located under the valve cover,
mounted in the cylinder head.
The engine’s fuel need is analyzed up to 100 times
per second (depending on engine speed). The quantity
and timing of fuel injection into the engine are controlled completely electronically via the unit injectors’
electromagnetically operated fuel valves. This means
that the engine always receives the correct amount of
fuel under all operating conditions, providing benefits
including improved fuel economy and minimized exhaust emissions.
Generator (8)
The belt-driven generator is located on the left-hand
front edge of the engine.
The voltage regulator of the generator is equipped with
a sensor system. The sensor system compares the
charging voltage between the generator connections,
B+ and B-, with the actual voltage between the positive and negative poles of the batteries. The voltage regulator then compensates for any voltage drop in the
lines between the generator and the battery by increasing the charging voltage from the generator as
needed.
Starter motor (16)
The starter motor is mounted on the flywheel housing
on the right-hand side of the engine.
When the motor is cut in, a gear on the armature shaft
of the starter motor is moved along the axis so that it
meshes with the gear ring of the engine’s flywheel.
The actuator solenoid of the starter motor controls
both the axial movement of the gear and connection
of the starter motor.
In turn, the actuator solenoid of the starter motor is
cut in via the start relay, which is activated when the
ignition key is turned to position III or the start button
is depressed.
The starter motor relay (1) is mounted next to the starter motor solenoid.

Repair instructions
When working with EDC III
Follow the instructions below so as not to damage the control unit of the EDC system:
Never cut off the main current when the engine is running.
•
Never disconnect battery cables when the engine is running.
•
When quick charging the batteries, the main switch must be turned off or the battery cables must be discon-
•
nected.
During normal maintenance charging, the main switch does not need to be turned off.
Only batteries should be used for jumping. Jumping devices may cause a surge and damage the
•
control unit.
Cut off power to the EDC III system before disconnecting the 2 x 36-pin cable glove from the control unit.
•
If damage to the wiring harness is detected, the cable glove should be disconnected from the control unit.
•
IMPORTANT! The cable glove should be disconnected from the control unit when welding.
When removing a connector from a sensor, be careful not to expose the contact pin to oil or any
•

WARNING! Be sure to have good ventilation.
The batteries build oxyhydrogen gas, which is
very flammable and explosive. A short-circuit,
open flame or spark could cause an explosion.
WARNING! Never confuse the position of the
cables on the battery. Confusing battery poles
when jumpstarting with battery cables causes
short-circuits and sparks, which can cause explosion and greatly damage electrical engine
components.
1. Check that the voltage of the booster battery is
the same as the engine’s system voltage.
2. First connect the red (+) jumper cable to the
positive pole (+) of the discharged batteries and
then to the positive pole (+) of the booster
battery.
3. Then connect the black (-) jumper cable to the
negative pole (-) of the booster battery and a
spot a bit away from the negative pole (-) of the
discharged batteries, such as by the negative
lead’s connection to the starter motor.
WARNING! The black (-) jumper cable must absolutely not come in contact with the positive
lead’s connection to the starter motor.
4. Start the engine and run at high idle about
10 minutes to charge the batteries.

Diagnostic function
Diagnostic function
The diagnostic function checks that the EDC III system is functioning normally.
The diagnostic function performs the following
tasks:
Detects and localizes disturbances
•
Notifies when disturbances are detected
•
Provides guidance for fault detection
•
Protects the engine and ensures that the machine
•
remains in working order when serious disturbances
are detected.
Notification of disturbance If the diagnostic function
detects a disturbance in the EDC III system, the operator is notified by the diagnostic lamp (1), which begins
to blink.
Guidance for fault detection If the diagnosis button
(2) is depressed and then released the diagnostic lamp
(1) blinks out an error code. The code is found in the
error code list, with information on cause, response and
corrective action.
The diagnostic function affects the engine in the
following manner when:
1The diagnostic function has detected a minor
disturbance that will not damage the engine:
Response: The engine is not affected.
2. The diagnostic function has detected a serious
disturbance that will not immediately damage the
engine:
Response: TAD1240–42GE/VE: Engine is
switched off.
TWD1240VE: Engine is switched off or engine
torque is lowered until the value is normalized.
3. The diagnostic function has detected a serious
disturbance that makes it impossible to control
engine operation:
Response: TAD1240–42GE/VE: RPM maintained.
TWD1240VE: The engine goes to idle. Idle or
freezing of RPM can be set using the Volvo Penta
Parameter Tool.
If the diagnosis button’s
indicator blinks
1. Reduce RPM to idle.
2. Press the diagnosis button (2) to acknowledge the
message.
3. Release the diagnosis button and note the error
code that blinks out. (1) See ”Reading out error
codes”.
4. Look up the error code in the error code list and
follow the recommended course of action.
27
Page 19
Group 23 EDC IIIDiagnostic function
NOTE: If the warning lamps and other instruments
show normal function and the control is working normally, the operator can choose to continue operating
and remedy the disturbance later. If the engine is switched off, certain error codes could disappear.
Reading out error codes
If the diagnosis button 2 is depressed and then released, an error code blinks out (1).
The error code consists of two groups of blinks separated by a two-second pause. The error code is read
by counting the number of blinks in each group.
Example: pause = Error code 2.4
The error code is stored and can be read as long as
the disturbance remains. The error code list contains
information on cause, response and corrective action.
Read out as follows:
1. Press in the diagnosis button (2)
2. Release the diagnosis button and note the error
code that blinks out (1).
3. Repeat points 1–2. A new error code blinks out if
more codes are stored. Repeat until the first error
code reappears.
NOTE: When the first error code reappears all error
codes have been read out.
Erasing error codes
The error code memory of the diagnostic function is
reset when power to the engine is cut off.
NOTE: The power must be completely disconnected.
When the power is turned on, the diagnostic function
checks to see if there are any disturbances in the
EDC III system. If disturbances are present, new error
codes are set.
This means that:
1. Error codes for disturbances that have been
corrected or that have disappeared are erased
automatically.
2. Error codes for disturbances that have not been
corrected must be acknowledged and read out
every time the power is turned on.
If the diagnosis button is pushed after the error has
been corrected and saved error codes are erased the
code 1.1 (”No errors”) will blink out.

Electronic fault detection
General
Check the following before starting electronic
fault detection:
Error codes
•
Fuel level and filter
•
Air filter
•
Battery
•
Wiring (visually)
•
Main switch, fuses, connectors
•
Connections to relays
•
Electronic fault detection can be performed on the following components:
Charge air/charge pressure sensor.
•
Coolant temperature sensor.
•
Water monitor for fuel pre-filter.
•
Camshaft and flywheel sensors.
•
Oil pressure/temperature sensor.
•
Coolant level sensor.
•
Unit injector (PC diagnostics program)
•
Starter motor.
•
Relays.
•
Generator.
•
Functionality check of lines
and connectors
First check that the fuse is not loose.
Use multimeter
9510060-8 to take a reading from the wiring.
Connect adapter 9998505 between the engine’s cable
glove and the control unit (ECU).
Use the wiring diagram to check that you are taking a
reading from the correct spot.
Use multimeter 9510060-8 to take the reading.
NOTE: Never take a reading by puncturing
the insulation.
Check the reading value with that which is noted in
the wiring diagram.
If the reading can not be determined from the wiring
diagram, check the lines separately.
Tool 9998534 should always be used when taking a
reading from a 4-pin connector of type DIN contact.
Contact problems
Defective contacts or occasional recurring errors
could be difficult to detect and arise often from oxidation, vibrations or poorly connected lines.
Wear can also cause errors. Avoid disconnecting a
connector unless absolutely necessary.
Other contact problems can arise, such as through
damaged pins, sleeves or connectors.
Shake the line and pull on the connections while measuring to find where the line is damaged.
The resistance in the contacts, lines and connections
should be 0 Ohm.
There is some resistance, however, due to oxidation
on the connections.
If resistance is too great, there will be disturbances in
the function. How large resistance can be without disturbances arising varies depending on the size of the
load in the circuit.
46

Check the following:
Look for oxidation, which can deteriorate
•
the contact in the connections.
Check that the cable shoes are not damaged, that
•
they are correctly fitted in the connector and that
the line is correctly connected to the cable shoe.
Test that the sleeves provide good mechanical
•
contact.
Use a loose pin to test.
Important! The cable glove of the control unit
(ECU) should only be checked using gauge
9998482.
Carefully insert gauge 9998482 in the cable glove.
•
Move the gauge back and forth a few times until
you feel that the cable glove clamps around the
gauge. If the cable glove does not clamp or
clamps weakly, the cable shoe must be replaced.
See ”Splicing electrical cable for cable glove”.
Fill the sleeves that have been checked with low
•
temperature grease (1161417-9).
Important! DIN contacts to pressure sensors
must not be filled with grease.
Check that the lines are really clamped. Avoid
•
clamping the lines too close to the contacts.
Fault detection on cables and
connectors
Visually check the connections.
Check the following:
Look for oxidation, which can deteriorate the con-
•
tact in the connections.
Check that the cable shoes are not damaged, that
•
they are correctly fitted in the connector and that
the line is correctly connected to the cable shoe.
Test that the sleeves provide good mechanical
•
contact.
Use a loose pin to test.
Shake the line if possible and pull on the connec-
•
tions while measuring to find where the damage is.
Interruption
Chafed or worn lines or loose connections could be
possible causes of error.
Use the wiring diagram to check which wiring harnesses are used for the function. Begin with the most probable wiring harness in the circuit.
Check the following:
Disconnect the relevant connectors from both
•
ends of the wiring harness.
Measure the resistance using multimeter
•
9510060-8 between the ends of the line. Desired
value R ~ 0 Ω.
Shake the line if possible and pull on the connec-
•
tions while measuring to find where the damage is.
If you cannot find the error, check the next wiring
•
harness following the wiring diagram.
Contact resistance and oxidation
The resistance in the contacts, lines and connections
should be 0 Ω.
There is some resistance, however, due to oxidation
on the connections.
If resistance is too great, there will be disturbances in
the function. How large resistance can be without disturbances arising varies depending on the size of the
load in the circuit.
Check the following:
Look for oxidation, which can deteriorate the con-
•
tact in the connections.
Check that the cable shoes are not damaged, that
•
they are correctly fitted in the connector and that
the line is correctly connected to the cable shoe.
Test that the sleeves provide good mechanical
•
contact.
Use a loose pin to test.
Important! DIN contacts to pressure sensors
must not be filled with grease.

1. Disconnect the connector from the charge air
pressure sensor.
2.Connect 4-pin adapter 9998534 between the
sensor connector and multimeter 9510060-8.
3. Measure with the multimeter set to measure resistance between the measurement points of the
adapter.
The multimeter should show the following values:
Measurement pointsDesired values
3–4R~6.2 kΩ (20°C / 68°F)
3–4R~ 2.5 kΩ (40°C / 104°F)
1. Disconnect the connector and remove the
sensor from the engine.
2.Use mulitmeter 9510060-8 to measure between
both contact pins of the sensor.
The multimeter should show the following values at:
0°C / 32°F4930 Ω ± 440 Ω
20°C / 68°F1870 Ω ± 140 Ω
40°C / 104°F800 Ω ± 50 Ω
60°C / 140°F370 Ω ± 20 Ω
80°C / 176°F190 Ω ± 8 Ω
100°C / 212°F104 Ω ± 4 Ω
NOTE: The sensor is extremely sensitive to changes
in temperature. When measuring in the lower temperature interval 0–40°C / 32-104°F, holding the sensor in
your hand is sufficient to make the value quickly go to
the lower resistance value.
NOTE: Even if resistance values follow those in the
above table, it is no guarantee that the sensor is faultfree.

Then connect multimeter 9510060-8 between measurement points 1-4.
3. Switch on the operating voltage.
4. Measure using a multimeter set to measure voltage. Check that the multimeter reads 5.0 volts.
5.Then connect the multimeter between measurement points 2-4. The voltage should be about 0.5 V.
Checking the coolant level
sensor
1.Empty the coolant from the expansion tank.
Warning! NEVER open the expansion tank’s
pressure cap when the engine is warm. Hot coolant could spray out, causing burns.
2.Disconnect the connector from the coolant
sensor.
3.Check that the contact is activated and sends
a signal when the expansion tank is empty.
4.Then fill the expansion tank with coolant and
check that resistance remains the same.
Checking the function of oil temperature
1. Disconnect the connector from the oil pressure
sensor.
2.Connect 4-pin adapter 9998534 between the
sensor connector and multimeter 9510060-8.
3. Measure with the multimeter set to measure resistance between the measurement points of the
adapter.
The multimeter should show the following values:
Measurement pointsDesired values
3–4R~1.9 kΩ (20°C / 68°F)
3–4R~ 0.1 kΩ (100°C / 212°F)
NOTE: Even if resistance values follow those in the
above table, it is no guarantee that the sensor is faultfree.

Error symptoms
The engine runs unevenly or has decreased performance.
Error causes
The above error symptoms can have several causes:
False sensor signals
•
Worn piston rings
•
Clogged air filter
•
Poor quality fuel
•
Water in fuel
•
Air in fuel
•
High exhaust counterpressure
•
Clogged fuel system
•
Low fuel pressure
•
Incorrect valve clearance
•
Defective unit injector
•
Incipient shearing (breakdown)
•
Determine or rule out error causes
using the PC diagnostics program
NOTE: Read the instructions in the user manual for
the ”PC diagnostics program” before each test.
1. Perform a relative compression test on the cylinders.
Read the bar graph in the program. One or more
bars will be at 100%. If any of the bars show a value lower than 80% relative compression, there is
probably a compression error. Perform the test three times. If compression is within the limit values
(80% - 100%), continue with the next point. There
is a risk that all cylinders have poor compression.
2.Perform an injector test. Switch off one injector at a
time. When a functional injector is switched off, the
noise level of the engine will change. If that does
not happen, there is probably an injector error.
3. Perform a relative acceleration test. Bear in mind
that high engine speed gives inaccurate measurement results. Lower the engine speed when measuring. The test will calculate the average value of
the relative cylinder acceleration from all cylinders. If the results from one cylinder differs from
the other, it is probably an injector error or a
symptom of poor compression.

Fault detection on starter
motor and lines
General
If the voltage level of the battery is under 24.7V as
measured from the battery, the starter motor does not
have enough power to rotate the engine at normal
speed.
Checking voltage feed
1. Check that the voltage in the battery is at least
24.7V when unloaded by measuring between the
battery poles with multimeter 9510060-8.
2. Turn on the main switch.
3.Check that the voltage between positions 30 and 31
on the starter motor are the same as the battery.
Check
1. That error code 4.6 is not set.
2. That a start request is sent (using the PC
diagnostics program).
3. That the starter motor is activated (using the PC
diagnostics program).
Carbon brushes
Specifications for carbon brushes in the starter motor
are described below.
Carbon brush appearance
New = 23 mm (0.91’’)

Functionality check of relays
Multimeter 9510060-8 is used for fault detection.
Two different symbols are used to represent the line
connection. Symbol 1 indicates an interruption or extremely high resistance (~). The multimeter does not
emit an alarm.
Symbol 2 indicates a contact or extremely low resistance. The multimeter emits an alarm.
Check the function of the relays as follows:
NOTE: Disconnect the main relay from the engine before beginning fault detection.
1. Use the multimeter set to measure high frequencies. Measure between pins 87a and 30 of the relay. The multimeter should then emit an alarm
sound.
2. Use the multimeter set to measure high frequencies. Measure between pins 87 and 30 of the relay. The multimeter should not emit an alarm.
3. Use the multimeter set to measure resistance.
Measure between pins 85 and 86 of the relay. The
multimeter should read 240–270 Ω.
4. Connect 24V between pins 85 and 86. Use the
multimeter set to measure high frequencies. Measure between pins 87 and 30 of the relay. The
multimeter should then emit an alarm sound.
5. Connect 24V between pins 85 and 86. Use the
multimeter set to measure high frequencies. Measure between pins 87a and 30 of the relay. The
multimeter should not emit an alarm.
6Replace the relay if test results do not match
those listed above.

Fault detection on the
generator
First remove the generator so that measurement
points are accessible.
1. Pry loose the plastic cover of the generator with a
screwdriver.
2. Remove the regulator’s four screws.
3. Remove the bracket’s two screws and remove the

Carbon brushes
The length of carbon brushes is measured between
the contact surface and the brush holder. If the size of
the projecting portion is less than 0,2’’ or if the brushes
are damaged, they must be replaced.
NOTE: When soldering, make sure that the solder
does not penetrate too far in the line to the brushes.
The line would then become stiff, hindering flexibility.
Regulator
Checking the regulator:
1. Measure with a multimeter set for diode measurement.
2. Connect the probes between the carbon brushes.
3. Switch the probes.
4. Check that there is no short-circuit.
NOTE: If you suspect a regulator error, it is best to fit
a new regulator on the generator and test run the charging system.

Electrical system
Important about the electrical
system
Important! Stop the engine and cut off the po-
wer with the main switch before working with the
electrical system.
1. Main switch
Never open the circuit between the generator and
the batteries when the engine is running.
The main switch/switches must never be switched off before the engine has stopped.
If the circuit is opened when the engine is running,
the voltage regulator can be ruined and the generator can be badly damaged.
For the same reason, charging circuits must not
be switched when the engine is running. For simultaneous charging of two independent battery
circuits, a Volvo Penta charge distributor can be
mounted on the standard generator (accessory).
2. Batteries
Never mistake the positive and negative poles for
each other when installing the batteries.
This could cause serious damage to the electrical
equipment.
Compare with the wiring diagram. Battery poles
should be well cleaned and cable shoes should always be secured and well greased.
Avoid quick charging the batteries. If quick charging must be used, the ordinary battery cables
must first be disconnected.
3. See ”Start with booster batteries” on how to jump
start using booster batteries.
4. Connecting extra equipment
All extra equipment must be connected to a separate junction box and fused.
Extra outlets directly from the instrument boards
should be avoided. Extra outlets are permissible
only up to a max. total of 5A (applies for all instrument boards together).
Electric welding
Remove the positive and negative cables from the
batteries.
Then remove all connections to the generator.
Then remove the cable glove from the control module
(EDC III). See the instructions in ”Control module
(EMS), replacement”.
Always attach welding clamps to the part that is to be
welded as close to the welding area as possible. The
clamps must never be attached to the engine or in
such a way that current can pass over any bearing.
Important! After welding, the removed components, such as cable glove, generator cable and
battery cables, must be refitted in the correct order.
NOTE: Follow applicable safety regulations when
charging the batteries.
When charging, the cell plugs should be loosened but
remain in the cell hole. Ventilate well, especially if the
batteries are being charged in a confined area.
Never cut off the charging current before disconnec-
ting the charge clamps.
Warning! The battery compartment must never
be exposed to open flames or electric sparks.
Never smoke near the batteries. When the batteries are being charged, they give off hydrogen
which, when mixed with air, forms oxyhydrogen
gas. This gas is highly flammable and very explosive.
Always wear protective goggles when charging
and handling batteries.
The battery electrolyte contains highly corrosive sulfuric acid.
If it gets on your skin, wash the area with soap and
plenty of water. If the electrolyte gets in your eyes,
rinse them at once with plenty of cold water and seek
medical attention immediately.
