The definitions below describe the controls and functions
of the Engine Control Panel (Figure 4).
1.
engine Warning lamps — There are four engine
warning lamps, they are defined as follows:
a.
low oil pressure alarm lamp — During normal
operation of the generator this lamp
will remain OFF. When the ignition
switch is placed in the RUN position
to start the engine, the lamp will be
ON. When the oil pressure rises
after start-up the lamp will go OFF.
If this lamp is ever lit ( on) during normal operation
of the generator, the emergency shutdown system
will stop the engine automatically.

goes ON when the cooling water
temperature rises abnormally. If
the lamp goes ON during normal
operation of the generator, the
emergency shutdown system will
stop the engine automatically.
c. Battery Charge alarm lamp — This lamp is
ON when the output voltage of
the alternator drops below a set
value. If this lamp is ON during
normal operation, the emergency
shutdown system will immediately
stop the engine.
d. pre-heat lamp — The pre-heat lamp will be ON
during the pre-heating cycle (cold weather
conditions). When the pre-heat cycle is completed
