Operational Manual
The HSC kit has to be inspected by local authorities and the owner who operates the HSC kit has
to ensure, that the HSC kit meets all local standards and regulations.
Gas fuel (natural gas, sewage gas, biogas and next) is flammable and explosive compound and in
the case of blast explosion threats.
A device has to be periodically checked. In the case of gas leakage, it is necessary to remove it
immediately.
In the place, where is this device installed, smoking and open fire using is prohibited.
If the engine is stopped or dual fuel operation in unavailable close the gas inlet hand valve on gas
train.
Also periodic check level cooling water in cooler and air intercooler because functionless
intercooler is first step to damage engine !
Take care when disconnecting In/Im3 terminals when the gen-set is stopped.
For safety connect parallel to controller In/Im3 terminals two anti parallel diodes 10A/100V.
In any case do not disconnect generator CT terminals when the gen-set is loaded.

Following described machine complies with the appropriate basic safety and health
requirement of the EC Low Voltage Directive No: 73/23 / EEC and EC
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 89/336 / EEC based on its design and type,
as brought into circulation by us.
Knocking detection
Denox Pick-Up
The Bi-Fuel Kit deliveres gas to the each cylinder through the standard engine air-intake system and air-gas
mixture is ignited by a diesel. System automatically operates and adjusts the flow of natural gas.

The main part of the Bi-fuel conversion kit
1. iG-BF Controller
iG-BF controller is the main controller of the Bi-fuel conversion kit. How to handle control pushbuttons of iG-BF
controller is described in “Standard operating procedures” chapter.
4. KNOCKING Lamp
Knocking alarm lamp. The light is ON, while knocking detector DENOX detects significant value of
detonations.
5. ALARM Lamp
General Alarm lamp. Any warning and protection initiate this signalization. It is lightening until FAULT RESET
pushbutton is pressed.
6. DIESEK OK
The light is ON if genset is running & ready for Bi-Fuel operation. That means all conditions for transition and
running in Bi-Fuel operation mode are fulfilled satisfied?.
7. GAS
The light is ON if genset is operating in Bi-Fuel mode.

2. Gas filter
Standard dust filter. The filter must be periodically checked and cleaned.
5. Gas actuator
Gas throttle valve and valve position feedback sensor. The gas portion is controlled by iG-BF through this
actuator
There is one pressure switch installed on the gas train. One on the gas filter block, which has a function to
inform us in the case of gas supply breakdown. The switching pressure value of the switch is minimal allowed
value before gas train. Pressure level tuning is executed by adjustable bolt which is situated in the center of
switch.
Its function is to measure temperature of boost air after intercooler. The thermoresistive element Pt100
should be mounted after the turbo-charger downstream aftercooler ( if engine has it ) before inake cylinders.
Boost air temperature radicaly ipacted proper Bi-fuel system function
Their function is to measure temperature of exhaust gases, which goes from each bank of cylinders, behind
the turbines of turbochargers.
Their function is to sense mechanical vibrations in the place which is competently close to the combustion
chamber. By means of this signal following analyze is recognized whether detonating combustion occurs.
Its function is to send the information to control system that combustion process of some cylinder is in some
phase just now. In the concrete, our effort is that this chosen mark will mean the compression top dead center
of the first cylinder.
(TDC of Cylinder No1)
Their function is measure quantity of fuel consumption. The device is used if it is not posible to measure diesel
actuator position.
The function of gas mixer is to create a mixture, which is consists of natural gas and inletting air. By this
arrangement it’s not necessary to make a homogenous mixture directly in the mixer, because these
components will be intensively mix up during following passage thorough compressors of turbochargers.
To switch between modes use arrows ←MODE and MODE→ on the right hand side of the display.
The function of the kit is fully automatic. If InteliGen is in AUT mode, it automatically opens gas and then
slowly opens the throttle valve.
Automatic run for bi-fuel starts immediately when conditions are fulfilled (see Conditions for Bi-fuel operations)
Automatic run stops the bi-fuel operation when one or more of bellow mentioned conditions is not fulfilled!
If you need immediately (emergency) to close safety valves and throttle valve press emergency GAS STOP
pushbutton on panel.
Note:
AUT operation mode is most usual. The system operates unmanned. Do not forget to open/close the hand
gas valve!

3. HORN RESET Deactivates the HORN
4. FAULT RESET Acknowledges faults and alarms
5. START Start of bi-fuel operation. The pushbutton is active only in MAN mode
6. STOP Slow close of the gas. The throttle valve is slowly closed and then system
changes operational state to Diesel. If the STOP button is pressed for the
second time during Slow stop, immediate gas close is effected. The
pushbutton is active only in MAN mode.

7. Alarm management
Following alarms and protections are available:
• None
• Warning
• Slow Stop (of gas)
• Shut down (of gas)
• Fls Alarm (Fault sensor alarm)
None
If the Alarm protection is not configured then input measures normally. However if the analog input value
exceeds the measuring range more than 6% then no Alarm and no Sensor fail is reported but the substituted
text “####” is displayed instead of wrong value.
Warning (Wrn)
When a warning comes up alarm message and Common Wrn output contact is closed. No other action is
performed.
Typical reasons of alarm are:
• Configured standard alarm Warning type or the Warning alarm as 1st level of next SD or Slow Stop
protections.
• Exceeding of warning limit of cylinder temperature
• Boost air temperature
• Warning RG
• HSC kit’s supply breaker is off
• Low or high Battery voltage
Engine
1. Check the function of diesel injection especially on lower levels of the load periodically, because it is
required the proper function of diesel injection system to work in Bi-fuel operation correctly.
2. Check the level of coolant in cooling system (engine & intercooler) periodically!
The first 50 operating hours - filter insert visual check, compressed air cleaning or displacement if
needed.
Each next 1000 operating hours - filter insert visual check, compressed air cleaning or displacement if
needed.
After 5000 operating hours (at the latest after two years) - filter insert displacement.
