The definitions below describe the controls and functions
of the Engine/Generator Control Panel (Figure 4).
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 should read approximately 50 psi. (345
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 should read approximately
180°F (82°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.

F.
Warning LEDs
• Low Oil Pressure LED
— This LED will light
when the engine oil pressure drops to 14.2 psi
(98 kPa). This condition will cause the engine
to shut down.
• High Temperature LED
— This LED will light
when the coolant temperature has reached
212°F (100°C). This condition will cause the
engine to shut down.
• Over Crank LED
— This LED will light when
when the engine has attempted to start 3 times
and failed. The intervals between the 3 start
cycles is approximately 10 seconds.
• Over Speed LED
— This LED will light when
when the engine is running at an unsafe speed.
This condition will cause the engine to shut
down.
• Engine Started LED
— This LED will light when
the engine has started and is operating correctly.
2.
Panel Light Switch
— When activated, will turn on
control panel light.
3.
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.
