10. | Circuit Breaker OFF Lamp | – When the circuit |
| breaker ON switch is placed in the OFF position this | |
| lamp will be turned OFF. |

11. | Circuit Breaker ON Lamp – | When the circuit breaker |
| ON switch is placed in the ON position this lamp will | |
| be turned ON. |

12.Circuit Breaker OFF Switch – Press this switch to place the 1600 amp circuit breaker in the open (OFF) position.
13. Circuit Breaker ON Switch – Press this switch to place the 1600 amp circuit breaker in the closed (ON) position.
14.Auto On/Off Engine Controller (MPEC) – This controller has a vertical row of status LED's (inset), that when lit, indicates that an
engine malfunction (fault) has been detected. When a fault has been detected the engine controller will evaluate the fault and all major faults will shutdown the generator. During cranking cycle , The MPEC will attempt to crank the engine for 10 seconds before disengaging.
During cranking cycle , The MPEC will attempt to crank the engine for 10 seconds before disengaging. If the engine does not engage (start) by the third attempt, the engine will be shutdown by the engine controller’s " Over Crank Protection" mode. If the engine engages at a speed (RPM's) that is not safe, the controller will shutdown the engine by initializing the "Over Speed Protection" mode.
Also the MPEC will shutdown the generator in the event of low oil pressure, high coolant temperature, low coolant level, and loss of magnetic pickup. These conditions can be observed by monitoring the LED status indicators on the front of the MPEC module.
A.Off/Manual/Auto Switch – This switch controls the running of the generator. If this switch is left in the "OFF" position, the generator will not run. When this switch is set to the manual position, the generator will start immediately.
If the generator is to be connected to a building’s AC power source via an automatic transfer switch (isolation), place the switch in the AUTO position. In this position, should an outage occur, the automatic transfer switch (ATS) will start the generator automatically via the generator’s
B.Low Oil Pressure – Indicates the engine pressure has fallen below 15 psi. The oil pressure is detected using variable resistive values from the oil pressure sending unit. This is considered a major fault and will shut down the generator.
C.High Coolant Temperature – Indicates the engine temperature has exceeded 215°F. The engine temperature is detected using variable resistive values from the temperature sending unit. This is considered a major fault and will shut down the generator.
D.Overcrank Shutdown – Indicates the unit has attempted to be started a pre- programmed number of times, and has failed to start. The number of cycles and duration are programmable.Typical programmable start settings is 3 cycles with a 10 second duration. This is considered a major fault and will shut down the generator.
E.Overspeed Shutdown – Indicates that the engine is running at an unsafe speed.This is considered a major fault.
F.Engine Running – Indicates that engine is running at a safe operating speed.
