CONTROL PANEL OPERATION
AND FUNCTION
A.MASTER CONTROL SWITCH - This switch controls the starting and stopping of the engine via the engine control logic circuitry.
With this switch in the “Manual” mode, the engine will start and run immediately after a 10 - 20 second time delay.
CAUTION: Please note that once the engine has been told to start, the gen set should be treated as though it is operational, even though the start delay has not yet allowed the engine to crank.
With this switch in the “Automatic” mode, the engine can be started and stopped from a remote contact. (Standard switch, transfer switch, etc.) There is a time delay, to cool down, of
With this switch in the “Off” position, the engine will immediately stop. The position must also be utilized to clear fault
B.PANEL LIGHTS - By turning on the panel light switch, the panel lights will be energized and will illuminate the control panel. The fuse next to the switch is to protect this circuit from damage due to excessive current.
C.FIELD AND CONTROLLER FUSES - These fuses protect the internal workings of the generator set.
D.GAUGES - These gauges monitor some of the more critical operating parameters of the engine as well as the run time of the generator set.
The Voltmeter displays the charging rate that is currently being produced by the engine’s alternator to facilitate the charging of the battery. This gauge should normally be above 12.5V whenever the unit is running. If you ever notice the gauge is reading below 12V while the engine is running please contact the service department at Pow’R Gard Generator Corporation.
The Temperature Gauge monitors and displays the operating temperature of the engines coolant. The point at which a fault
The Oil Pressure Gauge displays and monitors the current operating pressure of the engine’s oil system. The trip point at which a fault shutdown will occur is 15 PSI or below.
Fuel level is checked at the tank fill, inside the generator.
