DCA-600SSV — GENERATOR OUTPUTS/GAUGE READING

How to Read the AC Ammeter and AC Voltage Gauges.
The AC ammeter and AC voltmeter gauges are controlled
by the Ac ammeter and AC voltmeter change-over switches.

Both of these switches are located on the generator control
panel and DO NOT effect the generator output. They are
provided to help observe how much power is being supplied,
produced at the UVWO terminals lugs.

Before taking a reading from either gauge, configure the volt-
age change-over board which produces the desired
outputvoltage. When the voltage change-over board is
jumpered for

3Ø,

240V operation (See Figure 15).

The

ammeter

and

voltmeter

gauges will only show a reading
when the

Output Terminal

Lugs

are connected to a load

and in use.

AC Voltmeter Gauge Reading
Place the

AC Voltmeter Change-Over Switch (Figure 16)

in the W-U position and observe the phase to phase voltage
reading between the W and U terminals as indicated in the
AC Voltmeter Gauge (Figure 17).

AC Ammeter Gauge Reading
Place the

AC Ammeter Change-Over Switch (Figure 18)

in the U position and observe the current reading (load drain)
on the U terminal as indicated in the

AC Ammeter Gauge

(Figure 19). This process can be repeated for terminals V
and W.
