The definitions below describe the controls and functions

of the Engine/Generator Control Panel (Figure 5).
1.

Gauge Unit Assembly — This assembly houses the

various engine monitoring gauges. These gauges

indicate: oil pressure, water temperature, charging

voltmeter, fuel and engine speed RPM (tachometer).
A.

Oil Pressure Gauge — During normal operation

this gauge be should read approximately 50 psi.

(345 kPa). When starting the generator the oil

pressure may read a little higher, but after the

engine warms up the oil pressure should return

to the correct pressure range.

B.

Water temperature gauge — During normal

operation this gauge be should read approximately

180°F (82°C).

C.

Charging Voltmeter Gauge — During normal

operation this gauge indicate minimum 14 VDC

D.

Fuel Gauge — Indicates amount of diesel fuel

available.

E.

tachometer — Indicates engine speed in RPM’s

for 60 Hz operation. This meter should indicate

1800 RPM’s when the rated load is applied.

Warning leds

• low oil pressure led — This LED will light

when the engine oil pressure drops to 14.2 psi

(98 kPa). This condition will cause the engine

to shut down.

• High temperature led — This LED will light

when the coolant temperature has reached

212°F (100°C). This condition will cause the

engine to shut down.

• over crank led — This LED will light when

when the engine has attempted to start 3 times

and failed. The intervals between the 3 start

cycles is approximately 10 seconds.

• over Speed led — This LED will light when

when the engine is running at an unsafe speed.

This condition will cause the engine to shut

down.

• engine Started led — This LED will light when

when the engine has started and is operating

correctly.

2.

panel light Switch — When activated will turn on

control panel light.

3.

panel light — For operation at night, panel light

illuminates control panel for ease of reading meters

and gauges. Make sure panel light switch is in the

OFF

position when light is not in use.
