ENGINE OPERATING PANEL
Figure 6. Engine Operating Panel
The defi nitions below describe the controls and functions
of the Engine Operating Panel (Figure 6).
1. Panel Light – Normally used in dark areas or at night
time. When activated, panel lights will illuminate. When
the generator is not in use be sure to turn the panel
light switch to the OFF position.
2. Panel Light Switch – When activated will turn on
control panel light.
3. Pre-Heat Lamp – As the engine cranks, this lamp
will illuminate to indicate automatic preheating of the
engine. When the lamp turns off, the engine has been
preheated and will start automatically.
4. Warning Lamp – This lamp will illuminate when a
critical engine fault has occured.
5. Emergency Stop Lamp – This lamp will illuminate
when the emergency stop button has been pressed
or a critical engine fault has occured.
6. 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
oilpressure should return to the correct pressure range.
7. Water Temperature Gauge – During normal operation
this gauge be should read between 180°~230°F (82°
~110°C)
8. Charging Ammeter Gauge – Indicates the current
being supplied by the engine’s alternator which
provides current for generator’s control circuits and
battery charging system.
9. Fuel Gauge - Indicates amount of diesel fuel available.
10. Tachometer – Indicates engine speed in RPM’s for 50
Hz operation. This meter should indicate 1500 RPM’s
when the rated load is applied. In addition a built in hour
meter will record the number of operational hours that
the generator has been in use.
