DCA-400SSV— ENGINE OPERATING PANEL
Figure 7. Engine Operating Panel
The definitions below describe the controls and functions of the DCA-400SSVEngine Operating Panel (Figure 7).
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.Oil Pressure Gauge – During normal operation this gauge be should read between 44 to 73 psi. (303~503 kPa).When starting the generator the oil pressure may read a little higher, but after the engine warms up the oil pressure should return to the correct pressure range.
3.WaterTemperature Gauge – During normal operation this gauge be should read between 167° and 203°F.
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 Lamps – There are three engine warning lamps, they are defined as follows:
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 shutdown 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 shutdown 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.
7.Engine Speed Switch – This switch controls the speed of the engine (low/high).
8.Emergency Stop Button – Push this button inward to stop the engine in the event of an emergency. DO NOT use this button as a means of stopping the engine.
9.Battery Switch – This switch should be set to the ON position during normal operation.When the engine has been stop, place this switch in the OFF position. DO NOT turn this switch during normal operation, it could cause damage to the electrical equipment.
