DCA-70SSJU3 (60 Hz) — GAUGE READING

How to Read the Output Terminal Gauges.

The gauges and selector switches on the control panel
DO NOT effect the generator output. They are provided to
help observe how much power is being supplied at the
Output terminals lugs.

Before taking a reading off either gauge, set the

Voltage

Selector Switch (Figure 17) to the position which produces
the required voltage (For example, for 3Ø 240V,
choose the center 3Ø 240/
139V position on the volt-
age selector switch.)

For 3Ø 208V/1Ø,120V, place
the Voltage Selector Switch
in the 3 Phase 240/139
position.

Reading Voltage

To determine the voltage between two terminal lugs, set the
AC Voltmeter Change-Over Switch to the appropriate
setting (Figure 18) to activate the

AC Voltmeter Gauge

(Figure 19) and read the available voltage between the two
lugs.

For example, to measure the voltage between the W and U
terminal lugs, set the

AC Voltmeter Change-Over Switch

to W-U and read the

AC Voltmeter Gauge.

NOTE

Reading Amperage

To determine the amperage at a terminal lug, set the
AC Ammeter Change-Over Switch to the appropriate
setting (Figure 20) to activate the

AC Ammeter Gauge

(Figure 21) and read the available amperage at the terminal
lug.

For example, to measure the amperage at the U
terminal lug, set the

AC Ammeter Change-Over Switch to

U and read the AC Ammeter Gauge.

The

ammeter gauge will only

show a reading when the
Output Terminal Lugs are
connected to a load and in use.
