DCA10SPX4/DCA10SPXU4 Generator Control Panel

DCA10SPX4/DCA10SPXU4 — GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL

The definitions below describe the controls and functions of the Generator Control Panel (Figure 4).

1.Frequency Meter – Indicates the output frequency in hertz (Hz). Normally 50 Hz.

2.AC Ammeter – Indicates the amount of current the load is drawing from the generator.

3.AC Voltmeter – Indicates output voltage.

4.Engine Warning Display Module – This module displays the following engine failures:

A.Overheat Lamp – This lamp goes ON when the coolant is over 234oF. If the lamp goes ON during normal operation of the generator, the emergency shut-down device will stop the engine automatically.

B.Low Oil Pressure Lamp – During normal operation of the generator this lamp should remain OFF. After the oil pressure rises after start-up,

the lamp will go OFF. This lamp goes ON when the oil presure drops below 7.1 PSI.If this lamp is ever lit (ON) during normal operation of the generator, the emergency shut-down device will stop the engine automatically.

C.Low Battery Fluid Lamp – This lamp goes ON when the battery fluid is low. If this lamp goes ON during normal operation of the generator, stop the engine and fill the battery with distilled water to the specified level.

D.Pre-Heat Lamp – This lamp indicates when the engine is ready for starting during cold weather operating condition. When engine failures (this light flashes) occur, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTIG for a more detailed code.

5.Hour Meter – Indicates the number of hours machine has been in use.

6.Speed Control Switch –This switch controls the speed of the engine (idle/high).

7.Ignition Switch – Insert ignition key into this switch to start engine.

8.Voltage Regulator Control – Allows ±15% manual adjustment of the generator’s output voltage.

9.Twist Lock Dual Voltage Receptacle (CS6369) – Provides 100/200 VAC output (45 amps max).

10.Auxillary Receptacle (for L6-30R) – Provides 200 VAC output (30 amps max).

11.Auxillary Receptacle (for L5-30R) – Provides 100 VAC output (30 amps max).

12.GFCI Receptacle – Provides 100 VAC output (20 amps max).

13.CS6369 Receptacle Circuit Breaker - This single-pole, 45A breaker is provided to protect the CS6369 receptacle from overload.

14.Ground Terminal - Ground Terminal for Output Receptacles.

15.Auxillary Receptacle Circuit Breaker - This single- pole, 30A breaker is provided to protect the auxillary receptacle (for L6-30R) from overload.

16.Auxillary Receptacle Circuit Breaker - This single- pole, 30A breaker is provided to protect the auxillary receptacle (for L5-30R) from overload.

17.GFCI Receptacle Circuit Breaker - This single-pole, 20A GFCI breaker is provided to protect the GFCI receptacle from overload.

18.Main Circuit Breaker – This three-pole, 45A main breaker is provided to protect the the generator from overload.
