    FUNCTION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS

    Name of part Function

    Fuel Filter Removes dirt and water from the fuel. Drain the filter periodically. The filter element should be replaced periodically. See Drain or Replace the Fuel Filter Element and Fuel Filter / Water Separator on page 89.

    Fuel Feed Pump Pumps fuel from the tank to the fuel injection system.

    Engine Oil Fill Port Fill port for engine oil.

    Engine Oil Filter Filters fine metal fragments and carbon from the engine oil. Filtered engine oil is distributed to the engine's moving parts.

    Coolant System

    There are two coolant systems: closed cooling with coolant and seawater. The engine's combustion heat is cooled by the closed cooling circuit. The closed circuit is cooled by seawater using a heat exchanger. The seawater also cools the engine / marine gear oil.

    Heat Exchanger The heat exchanger cools the closed cooling circuit with seawater.

    Closed Cooling Circulation Pump

    The centrifugal water pump circulates coolant inside the engine. The circulating pump is driven by a belt.

    Seawater Pump The rubber impeller-type pump pumps seawater for cooling. Never operate it without seawater, as this will damage the impeller.

    Coolant Fill Cap The fill cap on the coolant tank has a pressure regulating valve. When the coolant temperature rises, the pressure rises inside the fresh water system.

    Coolant Recovery Tank

    The pressure regulating valve releases vapor and hot water overflow to the coolant recovery tank. When the engine stops and the coolant cools, the pressure in the coolant tank drops. The fill cap valve then opens to send water back from the coolant recovery tank. This minimizes coolant consumption. The closed cooling system coolant level can easily be checked and refilled in this tank.

    Oil Cooler A heat exchanger that cools high temperature engine oil using seawater.

    Turbocharger The turbocharger pressurizes the air coming into the engine. It is driven by a turbine that is energized by exhaust gases.

    Anode

    The metal area of the seawater coolant system is prone to electrical corrosion. The anodes are installed to prevent this corrosion. The anodes are reduced over time by electrical corrosion and must be replaced before it is completely consumed in order to ensure that the metal area of the seawater coolant system remains fully protected.

    Nameplates Nameplates are provided on the engine and the marine gear and have the model, serial number and other data.

    Starter Starter motor for the engine. Powered by the battery.

    Alternator Driven by belt and generates electricity and charges the battery.

    22 6SY Operation Manual

  • PRODUCT OVERVIEW

    ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS S6)This engine has an Electronic Management System (EMS) with unit injectors (PDE) which provide each cylinder with the right amount of fuel at the right time in all operating situations.

    The EMS system consists of a control unit (S6) and sensors for speed, charge air temperature and pressure, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and throttle actuation. These sensors constantly send signals to the control unit. With this input data and the programmed control software, the correct fuel amount and correct injection time are calculated for each unit injector (PDE) under the specific operating conditions.

    The EMS system sensors are also used to send signals to the digital display in the instrument panel.

    The control unit constantly checks the sensors to make sure they are operational.

    The control unit contains monitoring functions to protect the engine in the event of a fault which would otherwise damage it. In the event of a fault, an alarm for low oil pressure or high coolant temperature for example, the S6 control unit sends a message to the digital display.

    Only authorized personnel are allowed to carry out diagnostic procedures and program changes.

    The positions of the sensors which send signals to the control unit are shown (Figure 3).

    Rotation SpeedsCheck instruments at regular intervals.

    Redundant Throttle ModeIf there is a fault with the normal throttle or if CAN communication is interrupted, a redundant throttle system is provided.

    In the event of a CAN open circuit or throttle fault:

    • The EMS automatically switches to the redundant throttle located on the key switch panel.

    • The redundant throttle must be set at zero to be activated.

    • A light will illuminate on the panel indicating the redundant throttle is activated.

    Coolant TemperatureNormal coolant temperature when the engine is running is 70° - 90°C (158° - 194°F).

    The EMS / S6 control system has the following alarm levels:

    • If the temperature is high, 98° - 103°C, (208° - 217°F) for one second, the S6 control will send a CAN message which activates a warning.

    • If the temperature exceeds 103°C (217°F), a warning is activated.

    • A fault code is generated in the control unit.

    After an alarm, approved values must be registered for more than two seconds before resetting the alarm.

    Excessively high coolant temperature can damage the engine.

    If run for extended periods under an extremely light load, the engine may have difficulty in maintaining normal operating temperature. However, the temperature will rise to a normal level again when the load on the engine is increased.

    Rotation Speed

    0 - 500 rpm Prohibited engine speed, passed through when stopping and starting.

    500 - 700 rpm Slow idle. Engine idling is controlled by the EMS / S6 control system.

    700 - 2300 rpm Normal operating speed. The engine operating speed range is controlled by the EMS / S6 control system.

    2400 - 2600 rpm Unsuitable operating speed.

    2600 - 3000 rpm Prohibited engine speed.

    40 6SY Operation Manual

  • BEFORE YOU OPERATE

    Engine Coolant SpecificationsUse a Long Life Coolant (LLC) that meets or exceeds the following guidelines and specifications:

    • ASTM D6210, D4985 (US)

    • JIS K-2234 (Japan)

    • SAE J814C, J1941, J1034 or J2036 (International)

    Note: In the U.S., LLC is required for the warranty to be valid.

    Coolant (Closed Cooling System)

    IMPORTANTAlways add LLC to soft water - especially when operating in cold weather. Without LLC, cooling performance will decrease due to scale and rust in the cooling system. Water alone may freeze and form ice; it expands approximately 9% in volume.

    Use the proper amount of coolant concentrate for the ambient temperature as specified by the LLC manufacturer. LLC concentration should be a minimum of 30% to a maximum of 60%. Too much LLC will decrease the cooling efficiency also.

    Do not mix different types or brands of LLC or a harmful sludge may form.

    Do not use hard water.Water should be clean and free from sludge or particles.

    A CAUTION

    COOLANT HAZARD!• Wear eye protection and

    rubber gloves when you handle Long Life engine coolant. If contact with the eyes or skin should occur, flush eyes and wash immediately with clean water.

    • Failure to comply may result in minor or moderate injury.

    0000005enMarine

    CAUTION• Only use the engine coolant

    specified. Other engine coolants may affect warranty coverage, cause an internal buildup of rust and scale and / or shorten engine life.

    • Prevent dirt and debris from contaminating engine coolant. Carefully clean the heat exchanger cap and the surrounding area before you remove the cap.

    • NEVER mix different types of engine coolants. This may adversely affect the properties of the engine coolant.
