Tacho set A->Tacho set A failure
Description: Faulty or missing Tacho signals.

Cause: - Wiring, sensors or encoders are faulty, or
- Damaged tacho amplifier (loose connections in box, or.
- Loose connections in cable ends, or
- Damaged sensor support console, or
- Damaged teeth on tacho wheel (if fitted) , or
- Power failure (CCU1 powers Tacho Set A and CCU2 powers Tacho Set B).
Effect: The MPC had to change active set of tacho sensors.
If both tacho sensor set A and B fail on one CCU:
- Injection is stopped on one or two cylinders.
- Cylinder lubrication is stopped on affected cylinders!
Sugg. Action:
If all CCUs report tacho failure:

- Fault is most likely found in encoder/trigger ring sensors, amplifier or amplifier related cabling.
- If Tacho A reports the problem: Check flywheel sensor.
If only one CCU reports tacho failure:
- Check diode flash pattern (Ch40-Ch47) on MPC and compare to normally working CCU. This will
verify CCU and cable connections.
If both Tacho Set A and B reports tacho failure:
- Backup lubrication cables MUST be mounted on affected cylinders.
If all signals on one tacho stay low:
- Check tacho sensor power.
Hint: All sensor signals toggle between zero and high at least once per revolution.
To troubleshoot the problem: Perform tacho test on MOP:
- Navigate to Maintenance -> Function Test screen.
- Perform Tacho tests and follow instruction.

Description: The Governor is calculating a Fuel Index based on a backup telegram. This will occur in case of CCU
failure.
Cause: The CCU which should send the primary telegram is not on the control network or has stopped
running, or
Control Network problems caused prolonged transfer times.
Effect: No immediate effect, but Mean Indicated Pressure may drift on affected cylinder.
Sugg. Action:
- Measure Mean Indicated Pressure using a PMI system to ensure that the cylinders are balanced. If
necessary, adjust mean indicated pressure on MOP.
- Check that all CCUs are running and on the control network. Look for related alarms on MOP.
If the alarm persists during normal running note Engine RPM and direction and contact MAN Diesel
when convenient
CCUXX_040139

Control Network problems caused prolonged transfer times.
Effect: No immediate effect, but Mean Indicated Pressure may drift on affected cylinder.
Sugg. Action:
- Measure Mean Indicated Pressure using a PMI system to ensure that the cylinders are balanced. If
necessary, adjust mean indicated pressure on MOP.
- Check that all CCUs are running and on the control network. Look for related alarms on MOP.
If the alarm persists during normal running note Engine RPM and direction and contact MAN Diesel
when convenient
CCUXX_040207
Hydraulic Supply Pressure Limiter->Low Hydraulic Pressure
Description: The hydraulic supply pressure has dropped. To compensate for insufficient pump flow maximum
allowed fuel index is reduced. Fuel index reduction leads to lower hydraulic oil consumption.
Cause: - Hydraulic supply Pump failure, or
- Hydraulic leakage or failing bypass valves in the hydraulic supply system, or
- One or more hydraulic supply pumps stopped.
Effect: Engine load might be reduced and engine might run with unstable speed and fuel index.
- If the pressure drops below a predefined level fuel injection is stopped.
Sugg. Action:
While locating the failure that causes the pressure drop: Reduce engine load to avoid unstable
running.
- Check for hydraulic pump related alarms.
- Check for hydraulic leakages, pressure relief valve and failing bypass valves. Typically a failing
bypass valve increases significantly in temperature.
Engine Stopped:
- Cut out individual HCU's to determine the location of the leakage.
- Check the hydraulic pressure decay times on Auxiliaries -> Hydraulic System screen. Compare to
reference.

Governor->STOP Low While Engine Not Running
Description: Pneumatic STOP signals are off while the engine is stopped.
STOP signals are measured by one pressure sensor on each CCU.
The pressure sensors are activated by control air supply and connected to CCUs Channel 36.
Cause: - Loss of control air pressure, or
- Engine stopped unexpectedly.
Effect: If a start attempt is made while this alarm is present air and fuel may be applied simultaneously. This
might damage the starting air bursting cap. Avoid Engine start.
Sugg. Action:
On the Maintenance -> System View I/O screen: Compare pressure measurements on all CCUs
(channel 36).
STOP is on when pressure is above approximately 2 bar.
If only one CCU reports this failure:
- Check for pipe leakages near pressure sensor.
- Check pressure sensor.
If all CCUs reports this failure:
- Check control air supply pressure according to instruction manual.
- Check double non return valve at engine side. This valve is located in Engine Side Console.
- Check for leakages in the control air system.
If engine stopped unexpectedly: Move handle to stop position to clear the alarm.
CCUXX_060106
ELFI Valve A->ELFIA Feedback Failure
Description: The position feedback on the specific injection controlling valve has shown movements that are not
physically realistic.
Cause: Typically loose connection in cabling. Malfunction of internal ELF-feedback electronics can cause out
of range feedback signals.
Effect: When the fault is detected injections are stopped until valve is reactivated via the Engine -> Chief
Limiters MOP screen.
This alarm is a trigger member for the HCU Events screen (Maintaince->TroubleShooting). A log of the
incident has been recorded and can be used to further analyse the alarm.
Sugg. Action:
Fuel injection is reactivated by toggling invalidation of CCU channel 30 (Maintenance -> System View
I/O screen), re-enabling fuel injection on the Engine -> Chief Limiters screen, or CCU power off/on.
Before doing any of the above check the following due to danger of Cover Lift:
- Check that Maintenance -> System View I/O -> CCUx-Ch30 -> Electrical Value never is out of range
(3.5-20.5 mA)
- Inspect entire cabling from CCU to ELFI Valve.
- If cabling is OK and reactivation does not solve the problem: Replace CCU,
- If CCU replacement does not solve the problem: Replace ELFI Valve and reactivate as described.
During reactivation: Try to feel the dither on the valve (pressure must be sufficiently high, above
approx. 180 bar.
CCUXX_060114
ELFI Valve A->ELFIA Illegal Position
Description: The ELFI spool position has moved to unexpected position during the no injection period of the
crankshaft revolution.
Cause: ELFI Valve did not return to specified position in due time because:
- Dirty oil causes valve to stick to fuel port side.
- Parker Valve failure.
- MPC malfunction.
Effect: ELFI Control is stopped and causes fuel injection stop.
Sugg. Action:
- Check that Maintenance -> System View I/O -> CCUx-Ch30 -> Electrical Value never is out of range
(3.5-20.5 mA)
During reactivation: Try to feel the dither on the valve (pressure must be sufficiently high, above
approx. 180 bar.

Injection Profile 1->Max. Time in Pos. Table Reached
Description: Fuel index ordered has resulted in an ELFI close time that is not supported for the current injection
profile.
Cause: - Engine running excessively heavy.
- Fuel quality is poor
- Profile shaping causing very long delays.
Effect: Maximum time in position table for current injection profile is used. This means that regardless of how
much Fuel index is increased Fuel amount into cylinders does not increase.
Sugg. Action:
CCUXX_060415
Contact MAN B&W for the following adjustments:

- Increase maximum time in position table
- Injection Profile is too 'weak'. Make injection profile more aggressive.
- Freeze times are too long resulting in large close times.
Injection Profile 2->Max. Time in Pos. Table Reached
profile.
Sugg. Action:
CCUXX_060701

Shadow Injection Supervision->ELFIA/B Injections Too Close
Description: Some cylinders controlled by the same CCU have to inject fuel very close to each other. The
predefined limits has been exceeded.
Cause: Longer injection Periods can have increased due to:
- Very long Freeze periods.
- Fuel quality is poor.
- Injection Profile too 'weak'.
Effect: Typically there is no noticeable effect but previous injections may be affected by new injections.
Sugg. Action:
CCUXX_060702

- Decrease injection delay time
- Recable CCU's having two activations right after each other can be moved to other CCU's.
- Measure if disturbance has any noticeable affect and If not: Disable alarm.
PSP Too Late Supervision->Too Late PSP Setup
Description: Internal ECS fault situation. An internal calculation was completed too late.
Cause: Very uncertain. A partly failing network can cause significantly increased CPU load on the MPCs
leading to unacceptable delays on some calculations.
Effect: Difficult to predict. Often no effect, in other situations unstable operation of fuel injection and lubrication
on some cylinders.
Sugg. Action:
Contact MAN B&W. Parameter adjustment may be required.

In the meantime: Monitor exhaust gas temperature:
- If temperature OK: Continue running.
- If temperature not OK: Shut off that cylinder and continue with reduced load and speed.

- ELFI Main Spool is stuck at tank position.
- ELFI pilot valve recieves a Shut Down but CCU does not.
- CCU Ch70 (ELFIA) or Ch71 (ELFIB) always has an output less than 12 mA.
Effect: Injection will not occur as long as this situation is present. However injection will automatically start
again when cause of alarm is removed.
Sugg. Action:
Check the following:

- Ch 70 Parker pilot Valve cabeling (Cable ID = 4107-A).
- Ch30 ELFI Spool position is reading out valid mA.
- Check if the ELFI main spool can be moved hydraulically
- Dithering on the ELFI Valve when pressure is sufficiently high to move ELFI Main Spool (make sure
pressure is above 180 bar).
ELFI Valve Test Procedure: (FUEL INJECTION CAN OCCUR)
- Engine stopped
- Hydraulic pressure must be sufficiently high to move ELFI Main Spool.
- Go to MOP: Maintenance -> System View I/O screen.
- Set MPC that reports the problem in test mode.
- Set Ch70 to 20 mA.
- ELFI Main Spool must go to Injection side.
- Set Ch70 to 4 mA.
- ELFI Main Spool must go to Tank position.
If nothing is wrong with the cables try to replace:
- Parker pilot Valve.
- CCU reporting the problem.
- ELFI Valve on affected Cylinder.

ECS. Move the switch to "Pump 1 Master" or "Pump 2 Master" after the problem has been solved.
Hydraulic Power Supply->Manual Hydr. Press Control
Description: HPS pressure control is manual

Cause: Manual Activated
Effect: The HPS will "bumpless" change to Manual operation. The pressure setpoint can be overruled by the
operator by manually altering the pressure setpoint. The new pressure setpoint will be used until the
operator either selects a new setpoint, or returns to Automatic mode.
NOTE:
A large increase in setpoint could trigger the HPS slave pump to start. Therefore it is recommended to
limit the steps to about 20 bar.
Sugg. Action:
Switch to Automatic operation when manual operation is ended.

NOTE:
In case the ECS setpoint in automatic operation is more than 20 bar above the manual setpoint,
increase the manual pressure setpoint, before switching out of manual operation.
EICUXX_03810
Slave Pump Run/Stop->Master/Slave Pump Not Running
Description: The Engine Control System (ECS) expects more pumps to run but only zero or one "Running" signal is
currently present.
Cause: - Could be caused by wrong running signal or failed pump(s).
- Could be wrong switch settings on the HPS starter cabinet.
Effect: - No effect if both HPS pumps are running.
- If only one pump is running the maximum obtainable load will be limited depending on engine
configuration. Normally minimum 55% engine load should be possible.
- If no pumps are running the engine will stop.
Sugg. Action:
- Move the HPS Slave pump control switch to "Pump 1 & 2" on the HPS starter cabinet, while
troubleshooting. This will prevent the ECS from starting/stopping the slave pump untill the error has
been identified and corrected. In case this is not desirable repeated start/stop of the slave pump can
be expected.
- Check switch settings on HPS starter cabinets are in normal position. Position are either
1) Pump 1 Master (Pump 2 controlled by EICU J80 On = STOP)
2) Pump 1 & 2 (Both Pumps running)
- Check the HPS pumps and verify that both pumps are not running. If they are both running a failure in
one of the running signal is present. Check cabling to Pump 1 and Pump 2 running signals.
(EICU J31 Pump 1 Running signal)
(EICU J34 Pump 2 Running signal).
- Check cabling for EICU J80 relay:
NOTE:
The HPS switch setting on starter cabinet should be set to Pump 1 Master or Pump 2 Master. If the

Slave Pump Run/Stop->Slave Pump Started Due to Error(s)
Description: Normally the ECS only starts the Slave pump when the engine load is above a certain limit. In case of
certain errors the Slave pump is ordered started (EICU J80 Off)
Cause: - Hydraulic Pressure is not valid
- Internal load calculation is not valid (CCU1 failure?).
- Setpoint too high compared to actual pressure (Alarm for "Hydr. Press. Regulator High Fail" could
also be present!)
- Missing Pump (Master/Slave pump switched off or missing valid running signals.)
Effect: - No effect if both HPS pumps are running.
- If only one pump is running the maximum obtainable load will be limited depending on engine
configuration. Normally minimum 55% engine load should be possible.
- If no pumps are running the engine will stop.
Sugg. Action:
- Move the HPS Slave pump control switch to "Pump 1 & 2" on the HPS starter cabinet, while
troubleshooting. This will prevent the ECS from starting/stopping the slave pump untill the error has
been identified and corrected. In case this is not desirable repeated start/stop of the slave pump can
be expected.
- Check switch settings on HPS starter cabinets are in normal position. Position are either
2) Pump1 & 2 (Both Pumps running)
- Depending on the type of error that caused this alarm to be raised check the following:
a) Cabling to Hydraulic pressure sensor EICU J30.
b) Network or tacho alarms on MOP from CCU1.
c) Hydraulic Pressure Setpoint deviation too large compared to measured pressure.
d) Missing pump running signals.
- Check the HPS pumps and verify that both pumps are not running. If they are both running a failure in
one or both running signals ares present. Check cabeling to Pump 1 and Pump 2 running signals.
(EICU J31 Pump 1 Running signal)
(EICU J34 Pump 2 Running signal).
- Check cabling for EICU J80 relay:
NOTE:
The HPS switch setting on starter cabinet should be set to Pump 1 as slave or Pump 2 as slave. If the
switch is in No Slave position then both HPS pumps should always run.

- ECR Request and RCS Request both high.
Effect: The ECS retains its manoeuvre place.
Sugg. Action:
EICUXX_0704
Check cabling between EICU and manoeuvre places.

- Ch22 on EICU is ECR Control (Cable ID = 2121)
- Ch25 on EICU is RCS Control (Cable ID = 2122)
- Replace faulty switch or cut out faulty sensor.
If the problem persists: Replace EICU.
ECS Slow Down Request->No Cyl. Lube Oil due to CCU Failure
Description: No cylinder lubrication for the affected cylinder(s).

Cause: - The Cylinder Control Unit is not in normal running mode.
- The ECS control networks are not connected properly or not working.
Effect: - Probably no cylinder lubrication oil is injected to the cylinder(s).
- Slow Down request is send from ECS to the slow down system.
Sugg. Action:
Check that the LED is green on affected CCU.

- If the LED is NOT green: Rreboot the CCU.
If the problem persists: Replace the MPC.
- If the LED IS green: Use MOP Network status screen to check for network status. Often the only way
to find and correct network problems is to inspect entire network cabling and check for ground failure
on ECS power supply.

Description: Controlling unit not connected to network segment A.

Cause: Network cabling problems.
Effect: If only one network segment alarm is raised: No change in engine behaviour.
If both network segment A and B are affected: No or faulty MPC operation.
Sugg. Action:
If alarm(s) indicates missing connection to one network segment on one MPC:

1) Check that network connector is mounted on the unit.
2) Replace the network connector.
3) If no problems found in the network connection: Replace the unit.
If alarms indicate missing connection on both network segments on the same MPC:
1) Check if the unit is turned on:
1.A) MPC: Indicator LED lamp is illuminated.
1.B) MOP: Graphic application pictures on the screen.
If the unit is turned off: Check for power failure. Otherwise:
MPC related:
1) If the indicator LED lamp of the MPC is green: Check the network connections and connectors of
the unit for cabling failures.
2) Restart the controller, e.g. by turn off turn on power.
3) If the controller does not start up, indicated by the LED changing from red to yellow and to green,
and the network alarms does not disappear: Replace MPC.
MOP Related:
1) If the display of the MOP is active with normal application pictures, but process values are missing:
Check the network connections and connectors of the unit for cabling failures.
2) Restart the MOP (Ctrl Esc, then press Stop MOP and Quit. Wait a bit and press Ctrl Ecs, then Start
MOP). If the MOP does not show application pictures, and the network alarm persists: Repair MOP.
If alarms indicate that several units are not connected on one network segment: Inspect the cabling
and all connectors of the specified network segment.The fault is likely related to:
1) A loose wire in a connector
2) A short circuit between the 2 wires, or between a wire and the cable screen.
3) In each end of the network line a resistor shall be mounted in the network connector. One of them
may be loose or missing.
4) Short circuit between a network wire and ship ground - any metal parts.
