QUIETPACT™ 65D Recreational Vehicle Generator

2.1GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL

The following features are mounted on the generator control panel (Figure 2.1):

Figure 2.1 – Generator Control Panel

◆2.1.4 LINE BREAKER

The line (i.e., main) breaker protects the generator’s AC output circuit against overload and provides a method of turning OFF the generator’s 230-volt AC output to the vehicle circuits. The QUIETPACT™ 65D has two 30-amp breakers.

NOTE:

Refer to Section 1.4, “Generator AC Connection System,” (Page 5). Individual installations will dif- fer. If an overload occurs, the dual breakers will open the ungrounded (i.e., hot) stator leads (11 and 44 in Figure 1.1, Page 5).

◆2.1.5 PREHEAT SWITCH

The diesel engine is equipped with glow plugs, one for each cylinder. When you press the preheat switch, the glow plugs heat the engine combustion chamber, allowing for quicker starts when the engine is cold. Pressing the preheat switch also operates the fuel pump.

◆2.1.1 HOURMETER

This indicates the length of time the engine/generator has operated, in hours and tenths of hours. Use the hourmeter to ensure that the periodic mainte- nance tasks for your generator are completed on a timely basis.

◆2.1.2 START/STOP SWITCH

To crank and start the engine, hold this switch in the START position. Release the switch when the engine starts. To stop an operating engine, press and hold the switch in the STOP position until the engine shuts off. The switch’s center position is the RUN position.

◆2.1.3 FUSE

The 14-amp fuse protects the engine’s DC control cir- cuit against electrical overload. If the fuse element has melted open due to overloading, the engine can- not be cranked. If you must replace the fuse, use only an identical replacement (i.e., SFE-14).

If a fuse element melts, you should find the cause of the overload before replacing the fuse.

2.2OPTIONAL REMOTE START/STOP

This generator is equipped with a plug-in connector that can be interfaced with an optional remote panel provided inside the vehicle. This option allows you to start and stop the generator conveniently from with- in the vehicle. Refer to Part II - Installation Instructions, Section 2.8, for details on the remote start/stop option.

2.3BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

NOTE:

Instructions and information in this manual assume the generator has been properly installed, connected, serviced, tested and adjusted by a qualified installation technician or installation contractor.

◆2.3.1 INSTALLATION

Generator installation must have been properly com- pleted so that it complies with all applicable codes, standards, and regulations and with the manufactur- er's recommendations.
