ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

3.1

DIGITAL DIESEL CONTROL SYSTEM

The standard electrical  control  system  is  in  12  Volt  with
negative earth. Non-earth return is available as an option. The
engine is controlled by a highly advanced microprocessor based
system:  Digital  Diesel  Control,  which  has  both  a local  control
and a remote panel.

3.2

REMOTE CONTROL

A  remote  control  panel  also  containing  a  microprocessor  is
included in  the  delivery,  as  well  as  a 10 m 8-pole
communication  cable  (Figure 20). Other  lengths  are  available
on  request. A longer  (up  to 30 m) cable  can  be  connected  if
required. For distances  exceeding 30 m, please consult  the
WhisperPower service department.

Figure 20: Remote control cable

The control panel can be mounted in the dashboard using the
plastic sawing template. For dimensions, refer to the drawings
in Chapter 5.
Two  more  remote  control  panels  (slave  panels)  can  be  put  in
parallel using the modular connectors on the back of the units.
Actually, the slaves are regular remote control panels offering
all functions again.
When using the factory settings, installation is very simple: just
plug in both end of the communication cable and the genverter
is ready to use (Figure 20).

3.3

ACOUSTIC ALARM OR WARNING LAMP

An  external  max. 150  mA  relay can  be  connected  in  order to
generate  an acoustic  warning,  light a  warning  lamp, etc. Be
aware of polarity as some relays have a diode inside and must

be  connected  plus  to  plus  en  minus  to  minus  as  indicated
(Figure 21).

CONNECTION FOR EMERGENCY STOP /
FIRE ALARM SWITCH

Figure 22: Connection for emergency stop / fire alarm switch

To connect an emergency stop button or to stop the generator
automatically  in  case  of  a  fire  alarm,  you  can  use  the  bypass
connection between fastons J7 and J18 on the backside of the
local  control  panel (Figure 22).  To  do  so,  remove  this  bypass
connection  and  then  replace  it  by  an  emergency  switch  or  a
potential free fire alarm switch with normally closed contacts.
