DCA150SSKII — ENGINE OPERATING PANEL

The definitions below describe the controls and functions of the DCA-150SSKII " Engine Operating Panel "(Figure 10).

1.Tachometer – Indicates engine speed in RPM’s for 60 Hz operation. This meter should indicate 1800 RPM’s when the rated load is applied. In addition a built in hour meter will record the number of operational hours that the generator has been in use.

2.WaterTemperature Gauge – During normal operation this gauge be should read in the “GREEN” zone.

3.Oil Pressure Gauge – During normal operation this gauge be should read in the “GREEN” zone. When starting the generator the oil pressure mar read a little bit higher, but after the engine warms up the oil pressure should return to the green zone.

4.Charging Ammeter Gauge – Indicates the current being supplied by the engine’s alternator which provides current for generator’s control circuits and battery charging system.

5.Fuel Gauge - Indicates amount of diesel fuel available.

6.Engine Warning Display Module – This module display’s the following engine failures:

A.Overheat Lamp – This lamp goes ON when the cooling water temperature rises abnormally. 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. When the Auto-OFF/Reset- Manual switch is set to the “Manual” position to start the engine, the lamp will be lit. After the oil pressure rises after start-up the lamp

will go OFF. 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 Fuel Level Lamp – When this lamp is ON, it is time to stop the engine and add fuel. Remember to let the engine cool before adding fuel.

D.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.

E.Clogged Air Filter Lamp – This lamp goes ON when the air filter is clogged. If this lamp goes ON during normal operation of the generator, stop the engine and replace the air filter.

7.Pre-Heat Lamp – Indicates that the glow plugs of the diesel engine are hot and the engine is ready to be started.

8.Pre-Heat Button – Press hold this button until the pre-heat lamp is lit (ON).

9.Throttle Handle - This handle controls the speed of the engine (low or high).
