DCA-25SSIU2 (60 HZ)— ENGINE OPERATING PANEL
Figure 7. Engine Operating Panel
The definitions below describe the controls and functions of the
1.Panel Light - Normally used in dark places or at night. When activated, panel will illuminate. When the generator is not in use, turn the panel light switch to the ‘OFF’ position.
2.Panel Light Switch- When activated, will turn on control panel light.
3.Oil Pressure Alarm Lamp - Indicates that the oil pressure is too low or high and will shut down the engine.
4.Water Temperature Alarm Lamp - Indicates that the water temperature is outside of normal range and will shut down the engine.
5.Fuel Filter Water Lever Alarm Lamp - Indicates that water level in the fuel level has risen. Drain the water in the fuel filter strainer when this condition occurs.
6.Ignition Switch

8.Tachometer – Indicates engine speed in RPM’s for 50 Hz operation. This meter should indicate 1500 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.
9.Fuel Gauge - Indicates amount of diesel fuel available.
10.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.
11.WaterTemperature Gauge – During normal operation this gauge be should read between 165o F to 203o F.
12.Oil Pressure Gauge – Normal operation should be between 28 ~71 psi (193 ~490 kPa). When starting the generator the oil pressure may read a bit higher, but after the engine warms up the oil pressure should return to normal.
