Operation
Voltage Selector Switch
The voltage selector switch mechanically changes the
connections between the generator output leads and the
connection lugs on the main control panel. Voltage
ranges are selected by rotating the handle on the switch
to the desired voltage.
The voltage selector switch is equipped with a lockout
mechanism. Once the proper voltage has been selected,
insert a padlock through the lockout hole(s). By locking
the handle in place, unauthorized changing of the voltage
setting is prevented.
Voltage Regulator
The automatic voltage regulator controls the output of the
generator by regulating the current into the exciter field.
The regulator has four screwdriver adjustable
potentiometers that may be adjusted for under frequency
(U/F) dip, protention (U/F), stability, and voltage. The
voltage regulator is adjusted before shipment from the
factory. Contact Generac Mobile Products LLC for
additional information before attempting to adjust the
voltage regulator.
NOTE:
For units equipped with a Marathon D
automatic voltage regulator, see the Marathon operating
manual provided with the unit.
