ENGINE/GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL (DCA400SSI4F3)
The definitions below describe the controls and functions
of the DCA400SSI4F3 Engine/Generator Control Panel
(Figure 9).
1.
ECU 670 Gauge Unit Assembly
— This assembly
houses the various engine monitoring gauges: oil
pressure, water temperature, charging voltmeter, fuel
level, DEF level, generator load, and engine speed
(tachometer).
A.
Oil Pressure Gauge
— During normal operation
this gauge should read between 57–100 psi.
(393–689 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 between
167–194°F (75°–90°C).
C.
Tachometer
— Indicates engine speed in RPM
for 60 Hz operation. This meter should indicate
1,800 RPM when the rated load is applied.
D.
Fuel Gauge
— Indicates the amount of diesel
fuel available.
E.
DEF Gauge
— Indicates the amount of diesel
exhaust fluid available. The red area in the gauge
indicates a low DEF level (10%).

Charging Voltmeter Gauge
— During normal
operation this gauge indicates a minimum of
26 VDC.
G.
Generator Load Gauge
— Indicates the generator
load rate. It is recommended the load be above the
red area (20%) for maintaining sufficient exhaust
temperature.
2.
Coolant Level Alarm Lamp
— Lamp illuminates
when the coolant level has dropped below the normal
operating level. If the lamp turns on during normal
operation the engine will shut down automatically.
3.
Pre-Alarm Lamp
— Lamp illuminates when engine
failures occur during normal operation. Confirm the
alarm by pressing the “Alarm Acknowledge Button”
on the ECU controller.
4.
Engine Shutdown Alarm Lamp
— Lamp illuminates
when an engine failure occurs during normal operation.
If the lamp turns on during normal operation the engine
will shut down automatically.
5.
Panel Light
— For operation at night, the panel light
illuminates the control panel for ease of reading meters
and gauges. Make sure the panel light switch is in the
OFF position when the light is not in use.
6.
Frequency Meter
— Indicates the output frequency
in hertz (Hz). Normally 60 Hz.
