2.1 General Safety Instructions
The following safety instructions must be followed in the area in which the device is operated:
High voltage! Danger to life!
While the engine is running, the area around the ignition system especially
holds the risk of danger due to high voltage. The following parts should
therefore not be touched or removed unless explicitly stated otherwise:
–Ignition coils and caps
–Wires of the high voltage circuit
–In- and output wiring of the ignition controller
–Pickups and their wiring
Danger to persons with pacemakers!
Electromagnetic impulses in the wiring of the ignition system may exceed
the permissible limits of pacemakers. Persons with pacemakers must
therefore not be present in the vicinity of the ignition system being
operated. Mark the operating location of the ignition system with the
corresponding standardized warning symbol.
MOTORTECH equipment is manufactured as state of the art and therefore safe and reliable to
operate. Nevertheless the equipment can cause risks or damage can occur, if the following
instructions are not complied with:
–The gas engine must only be operated by trained and authorized personnel.
–Operate the equipment only within the parameters specified in the technical data.
–Use the equipment correctly and for its intended use only.
–Never apply force.
–For all work such as installation, conversion, adaptation, maintenance, and repair, all
equipment must be disconnected from the mains and secured against unintentional
reactivation.
–Perform only such maintenance and repair work as is described in this operating manual,
and follow the instructions given while working. For maintenance of the equipment, only use
spare parts supplied by MOTORTECH. Further work must only be performed by personnel
authorized by MOTORTECH. Non-compliance with the instructions will void any warranties
for the proper function of the equipment as well as the responsibility for the validity of the
certifications.
–Safety devices must not be dismounted or disabled.
–Avoid all activities that can impair the function of the equipment.
2 Safety Instructions
2 Safety Instructions
Rev. 02/2018 11
–Operate the equipment only while it is in proper condition.
–Investigate all changes detected while operating the gas engine or ignition system.
–Ensure compliance with all laws, directives and regulations applicable to the operation of
your system, including such not expressly stated herein.
–If the system is not entirely tight and sealed, gas may escape and result in explosion hazard.
The inhalation of gas can also lead to death or severe health damages. Therefore, upon
completion of all assembly works, always check the system's tightness.
–Always ensure adequate ventilation of the engine compartment.
–Ensure a safe position at the gas engine.
2.2 Electrostatic Discharge Hazards
Electronic equipment is sensitive to static electricity. To protect these components from damage
caused by static electricity, special precautions must be taken to minimize or prevent
electrostatic discharge.
Observe these safety precautions while you work with the equipment or in its vicinity.
–Before performing maintenance or repair work, ensure that the static electricity inherent to
your body is discharged.
–Do not wear clothing made from synthetic materials to prevent static electricity from
building up. Your clothing should therefore be made of cotton or cotton mix materials.
–Keep plastics such as vinyl and Styrofoam materials as far away from the control system, the
modules, and the work environment as possible.
–Do not remove the circuit boards from the housing of the device.

12 Rev. 02/2018
2.3 Special Safety Instructions for the Device
Explosion hazard!
The following operations may only be executed providing the environment
is classified as non-explosive:
–Establishing and terminating communications via PowerView3
interfaces and connections.
–Inserting and removing SD cards.
Risk of destruction and injury!
The PowerView3 is an electrically operated device and there is the risk of
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, never operate the device without the
appropriate grounding, to prevent injuries and damage.
Risk of destruction!
It is possible to damage the ignition kit and engine through PowerView3
settings. Consequently, protect your device against unauthorized access.
–Enable access control.
–Log out after using the access level employed.
Risk of destruction!
When using the PowerView3, observe the following points:
–Do not let the device fall.
–The device must not come into contact with water and other liquids.
–Do not operate the device in direct sunlight, near heat sources or in
humid environments.
–Only operate the device according to the technical specifications.
Disregard of these guidelines can lead to the destruction of the device.
2 Safety Instructions
Rev. 02/2018 13
Risk of destruction!
The surface of the touchscreen is sensitive to pointed and sharp-edged
objects. Therefore handle the touchscreen carefully. Pixel errors due to
improper handling are excluded from the warranty.
Risk of damage and malfunctions!
Safe operation is no longer guaranteed in the following cases:
–The product shows visible damage.
–The display remains dark or shows unusual patterns for a longer period
of time.
–The screen saver does not turn off when touching the display.
–The device does not react after a restart.
The PowerView3 must then be turned off and must not be used any longer.
Operational safety!
The PowerView3 and the software are not designed for safety-critical
applications. The binary inputs and outputs of the PowerView3 must not be
used for safety-critical purposes.
2.4 Proper Disposal
After the expiration of its service life, MOTORTECH equipment can be disposed of with other
commercial waste, or it may be returned to MOTORTECH. We will ensure its environmentally
friendly disposal.
14 Rev. 02/2018
3.1 Functional Description
The PowerView3 is used to visualize and record engine operating data. The data can be provided
by the following MOTORTECH devices that are connected via a CAN bus:
–Ignition controller MIC3, MIC3+, MIC4, MIC4+, MIC5, MIC5+
–Detonation controller DetCon2, DetCon16, DetCon20
–Temperature module TempScan20
Several settings of the ignition controllers can be changed via the PowerView3. The TempScan20
temperature module is fully configurable via the PowerView3. If warnings and errors occur in the
DetCon detonation controller or the TempScan temperature module, two binary outputs can be
switched at the PowerView3. A slot for SD cards and a USB port permit saving recorded data on a
storage device.
The PowerView3 functions as NMT master in the CANopen®network. Simultaneously, the
PowerView3 can integrate a maximum of one ignition controller, one detonation controller and
three temperature modules. In addition, you can monitor the connection status of up to three
devices which are not directly supported by the PowerView3. These devices are then started
automatically during PowerView3 start-up.
3.2 Applications
The PowerView3 must only be operated in a control cabinet and with the devices specified for
this purpose. The PowerView3 does not support safety-critical applications.
Any use other than the one described in the operating manual shall be considered improper use
and will result in the voiding of all warranties.
3.3 Use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
The PowerView3 is certified by the CSA for use in a Class I, Division 2, Groups C and D, T4
hazardous location in the USA and Canada. For this, you must adhere to the information of the
CSA certificate 2173514 (see section Certifications on page 15).
