CCUXX_00106 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 ELFI-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_00114 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.
(3.5-20.5 mA)
approx. 180 bar.
CCUXX_00115 ELFI Valve A->ELFIA Illegal Set Point

Description: The internal position set point to the ELFI Valve has an unexpected value during the „no injection‟
period of the crankshaft revolution.
Cause: Internal errors on MPC
Sugg. Action: - Contact B&W. Inform Speed, Active Eng Mode, Approximate Load and manoeuvring condition.
- If the alarm appears during normal running: Replace the MPC.
- Fuel-injection is reactivated by MPC power off/on (Reset MPC).

Description: Electrical noise has been detected in the ECS system
Cause: - One or more ECS components has intermittent and/or oscillating electric leakage to ship‟s ground, or
- ECS system has been subjected to electrical noise from an external source
NOTE:
Unless IRM module is used, the location of a ECS component causing the alarm is NOT limited to the
MPC on which the alarm has appeared.
Effect: No immediate effect
The fault can generate other consequential alarms in the ECS system, e.g.
- Exh. Valve Closed Position Changed
- Exh. Valve closing/opening too fast/slow (4 alarms)
- Illegal ELFI/FIVA Position
- ELFI/FIVA Feedback Signal Failure
NOTE:
- Total noise pulse counter by observing : Maintenance -> Troubleshooting -> Insulation
- Cabling, sensors, actuators, MPCs for loose connections or intermittent and/or oscillating electric
leakages/short circuits to ground.
To locate an intermittent and/or oscillating electric leakage to ship's ground:

1.Stop engine or reduce rpm to slow down level
If the MPC is equipped with IRM Module go to step 7
2. On one MPC: Disconnect power supply Connector J1
3. Observe if increase in total noise pulse counter has stopped
4. If the increase has stopped, the MPC with intermittent and/or oscillating electric leakage to ship's
ground has been found skip step 5 and continue to step 6
5. Reconnect the power supply Connector J1 in order for the MPC to resume normal function and go
back to
step 2, choosing the next MPC
6. Reconnect the power supply Connector J1 the MPC will resume normal function.
7. Set the MPC in TEST MODE by pressing MPC mode button on MOP Maintenance -> System view
I/O. This will stop the MPC's normal function.
8. Disconnect connections one at a time (from J2 to J85, - NOT J1), and after each disconnection
observe if
increase in total noise pulse counter has stopped
9. If increase has stopped, the cable, sensor or actuator with loose connections or intermittent and/or
oscillating electric leakages/short circuits to ground, has been located
10.Revert to basic electrical trouble shooting to repair
11.Set the MPC in NORNAL MODE by pressing MPC mode button on MOP Maintenance -> System
view I/O
NOTE:
If a CCU is disconnected or stopped for more than 20 minutes, establishing of emergency lubrication

EICUXX_0201X Pmax Supervision->Average Pmax above allowed value

Description: Average Pmax has exceeded Pmax alarm limit.
Cause: Too high Maximum Pressure
Reduce "Pmax Offset All" to lower average Pmax below alarm limit.
Troubleshooting:
1.Check that "Estimated Engine Load" (as shown on MOP) is correct by comparing with PMI
equipment and/or torquemeter.
If incorrect then utilize Fuel Quality feature for adjusting estimated engine load.
2.Check that average "Current Pcomp" and "Ordered Pcomp" are equal (within tolerances).
If necessary then carry out adjustments by changing "Pcomp/Pscav Offset All" manually or via Auto
Tuning (Pcomp mean value).
3.Check that average "Current Pmax" and "Ordered Pmax" are equal (within tolerances).
If necessary then carry out adjustments by changing "Pmax Offset All" manually or via Auto Tuning
(Pmax mean value).
If unable to achieve correct Pcomp (in step 2) then Pscav might be too high. This could be due to
severe ambient conditions or malfunctioning of exhaust gas bypass etc. Please do not use Auto
Tuning functionality and keep "Pmax Offset All" reduced manually below alarm limit.

EICUXX_0201X ContinuousTuning PI (online FQA)->Online FQA exeeds limits
Description: The difference between ordered Govenor Index and estimated Index (from PMI system) has exceeded
the allowed limit.
Cause: Fuel quality has changed since last manual adjustment of Fuel Quality.
- If WIF(Water In Fuel) is applied to engine the Water content may have changed.
Effect: The Engine load estimation is not fully correct anymore – this may give problems with fuel limiters.
Sugg. Action: - Manual adjustment of Fuel Quality is correct (MOP->Engine->Process Adjustment->Fuel Quality
Adjustment)
- PI values on PMI system.
If problem is not solved by this:

- Note down difference in Engine load for later trouble-shooting (PMI system and ME-ECS (MOP-
>Engine->Process values->Running Mode)).
- Adjust “applied fuel quality offset” manually (hand tuning) until online correction is in range
- OR
- Disable Online correction on MOP (MOP->Engine->Process Adjustment->Fuel Quality Adjustment)
EICUXX_02J Cylinder Lubrication->Nominel Parameterset not Valid

Cause: The combination of S%, FeedRateFactor and Adjust factor is too high, or the lubricator(s) are too small
for the engine.
Effect: The cylinder lubricator will be activated with the highest frequency possible (once per revolution).
Sugg. Action: Check that the parameter is set (S%, FeedRateFactor and Adjustfactor) according to MAN B&W
specification. Check that lubricator size is according to specification and that the parameter
"Mass/Injection per Cylinder" is correct.
EICUXX_02K Cylinder Lubrication->Max Limiter Parameterset not Valid

Cause: The parameter for normal max level is too high or the lubricators are too small for the engine.
Sugg. Action: Check that the parameter for max is according to MBD specification. Check that lubricator size is
according to specification and that the parameter "Mass/Injection per Cylinder" is correct.
EICUXX_02L Cylinder Lubrication->Run In Parameterset not Valid

Cause: The parameter for run in max level is too high or the lubricators are too small for the engine.
Sugg. Action: Check if the parameter for run in max is according to MBD specification. Check that lubricator size is
according to specification and that the parameter "Mass/Injection per Cylinder" is correct.
EICUXX_0345 Hydraulic Power Supply->Hydraulic Pressure fell too quickly

Description: Hydraulic pressure fell too quickly after all pumps were stopped.
Cause: Hydraulic leakage or failing accumulator(s).
Effect: Hydraulic leakage or failing accumulators may cause problems when the engine is started again.
Correct these failures before attempting normal running.
Sugg. Action: Check for Hydraulic leakage and check accumulator pressure.
- Investigate all HCU's by cutting off relevant valves. Do this one HCU at a time and evaluate leakage
result.

EICUXX
EICUXX_0347 Hydraulic Power Supply->Hydr. Press. Regulator High Fail
Description: The automatic pressure control could not achieve correct pressure. Hydraulic pressure lower than
desired.
Cause: HPS pumps do not deliver as high pressure as expected or leakage has increased or electrical
connection to HPS is failing.
Effect: Too low pressure may reduce injections and slow down the engine - in extreme cases stop the engine.
Sugg. Action: Check cabling to HPS (e.g. using manual control).
Check pressure sensor.
Check for hydraulic leakages.
Check Swash Plate Indicators.
Check that there are no other alarms for Pumps missing.
Check switch settings on HPS starter cabinets are in normal position.
Check EICU J80 relay:
a) Off then "Slave" pump should be running.
b) ON then "Slave" pump should be stopped.
If all checks above are ok, the HPS proportional valve may need to be recalibrated.
NOTE:
The HPS switch setting on starter cabinet should be set to "Pump 1 Master" or "Pump 2 Master". If the
switch is in "Pump 1 & 2" then both HPS pumps should run.
EICUXX_0348 Hydraulic Power Supply->Hydr. Press. Regulator Low Fail

Description: The automatic pressure control could not achieve correct pressure. Hydraulic pressure higher than
desired.
Cause: - HPS pumps deliver higher pressure than expected, or
- Leakage has decreased.
Effect: Too high pressure can result in excessive electrical power consumption.
NOTE:
EICUXX_0353 Hydraulic Power Supply->Hydr. Press. too high

Description: Hydraulic pressure is higher than alarm limit.

EICUXX
EICUXX_0354 Hydraulic Power Supply->Hydr. Press. too low
Description: Hydraulic pressure is lower than alarm limit.
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: Too low pressure may reduce injections and slow down the engine - in extreme cases stop the engine.
NOTE:
EICUXX_0361 Hydraulic Power Supply->Pump 1 not Running

Description: The hydraulic pump should run because the engine is running.
Cause: The pump does not give a "Running" signal.
Effect: - Maximum engine load is limited if pump is not running.
- The Engine Control System (ECS) have ordered the HPS slave pump to start (J80 = OFF). The slave
pump will be running until both Pump running signals have been detected On.
Sugg. Action: - Check if the pump is running.
- if it is running check the cable giving a "Running" signal to ECS.
- In case the Pump running signal turns On/Off and triggers the slave pump to start/stop go to the HPS
starter cabinets and move switch to "Pump 1 & 2". This will disable control of the slave pump by the
ECS. Move the switch to "Pump 1 Master" or "Pump 2 Master" after the problem has been solved.
EICUXX_0362 Hydraulic Power Supply->Pump 2 not Running

Description: The hydraulic pump should run because the engine is running.
Cause: The pump does not give a "Running" signal.
Effect: - Maximum engine load is limited if pump is not running.
- The Engine Control System (ECS) have ordered the HPS slave pump to start (J80 = OFF). The slave
pump will be running until both Pump running signals have been detected On.
Sugg. Action: - Check if the pump is running.
- if it is running check the cable giving a "Running" signal to ECS.
- In case the Pump running signal turns On/Off and triggers the slave pump to start/stop go to the HPS
starter cabinets and move switch to "Pump 1 & 2". This will disable control of the slave pump by the
ECS. Move the switch to "Pump 1 Master" or "Pump 2 Master" after the problem has been solved.
EICUXX_0370 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
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
switch is in "Pump 1 & 2" position then both HPS pumps should always run.

EICUXX_03810 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.
EICUXX_0601 ECR/RCS Control Selection->Inconsistent Control Stat. Request

Description: The Control Station Switch Logic has detected inconsistent control signal requests. Cabling seem to
be ok but values are inconsistent.
Cause: The control station switch logic expected a high/low combination of the control station request signals.
One of two events has occurred:

- ECR Request and RCS Request both low.
- ECR Request and RCS Request both high.
Effect: The ECS retains its manoeuvre place.
Sugg. Action: 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.

- 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.
EICUXX_0705 ECS Slow Down Request->Slow Down Request

Description: Slow Down Request
Cause: ECS requested Slow Down due to failing cylinder oil lubrication or VT/Bypass problems.
Effect: - No cylinder lubricator oil injected. This will lead to excessive liner wear.
- Too High Pscav can damage Engine or Turbocharger.

SCUXX_2031 EGR Interface->MANUAL EGR Mode Requests

Description: EGR mode Manual Request control has been enabled by parameter in SCU. While this function is
active signals "Mode requests for EGR low" and "Mode requests for EGR high" and "EGR allowed" in
ME-ECS system are controlled by parameters in SCU/EGR interface.
Function is related to tests.

Cause: Parameter SCU1/EGR interface/"Manual EGR signal mode" has been set to 'yes'
Effect: Mode requests from EGR system are over-written.
Sugg. Action: Set parameter SCU1/EGR interface/"Manual EGR signal mode" to 'no'.
Contact MAN Diesel & Turbo.
