The definitions below describe the controls and functions

of the Engine/Generator Control Panel (Figure 7).
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 between 35 to 65 psi.

(241~448 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 between 185°

and 207°F (85°~97°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.

2.

Fuel leak detected alarm lamp — This lamp when

ON indicates that fluids in the containment area have

reach a high level.

3.

panel light switch — When activated will turn on

control panel light.

4.

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.

5.

Frequency meter — Indicates the output frequency

in hertz (Hz). Normally 60 Hz

6.

ac ammeter — Indicates the amount of current the

load is drawing from the generator per leg selected by

the ammeter phase-selector switch.

7.

ac voltmeter — Indicates the output voltage present

at the

u,v, and W output terminal lugs.

8.

voltage regulator control — Allows ±15% manual

adjustment of the generator’s output voltage.

9.

ammeter change-over switch — This switch allows

the AC ammeter to indicate the current flowing to the load

connected to any phase of the output terminals, or to be

switched off. This switch does not effect the generator

output in any fashion, it is for current reading only.

10.

voltmeter change-over switch — This switch allows

the AC voltmeter to indicate phase to phase voltage

between any two phases of the output terminals or to

be switched off.

11.

main circuit Breaker — This three-pole, 200 amp

main breaker is provided to protect the

u,v, and W

output terminal lugs from overload.

12.

auto/start switch — This switch selects either manual

or automatic operation . Center position is OFF (reset).

13.

hour check Button — With the engine stopped, press

and hold this button. The total running hours, fuel level,

and battery voltage will be displayed.
