ENGINE MONITORING
Engine information is shown on the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) window in a toggling manner with the Generator
information after the first 60 seconds of operation and then every 5 seconds thereafter. The engine display screen
will show oil pressure, engine coolant temperature, fuel level and battery voltage.
• Oil Press: Displays engine oil pressure. The display registers oil pressure between 0-100 psi.
Normal operating pressure is between 35-80 psi.
• Eng Temp: Displays the temperature of the engine’s coolant. If the coolant temperature exceeds
the Maximum Water Temperature of 230° F the engine will automatically shut down.
Zero “0” will be displayed until a minimum temperature of 100° F is reached.
• Fuel Level: Displays the relative fuel level in the fuel tank in percent (50% = 1/2 tank, 75% = 3/4
tank, etc.). If the fuel level drops below a programmed low fuel point – usually at 15%,
a low fuel warning and optional audio alarm will be activated. If the fuel level drops
below the programmed low fuel limit, usually at 5%, the engine will automatically shut
down.(Note: The MLG 25 does not display fuel level).
• Vbat: Displays the engine battery voltage. A normal reading is 13-14V on 12 volt systems and
24-26 on 24 volt systems, (with the engine running).
