Multiquip CDA45SSIU3 manual Frequency Meter

GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE

5.he generator’s frequency meter (Figure 40) should be displaying the 50 cycle output frequency in HERTZ.

9.The coolant temperature gauge (Figure 45) will indicate the coolant temperature. Under normal operating conditions the coolant temperature should be between 167°~203°F (75°~95°C) (Green Zone).

6.The generator’s AC-voltmeter (Figure 41) will display the generator’s output in VOLTS. If the voltage is not within the specified tolerance, use the voltage adjustment control knob (Figure 42) to increase or decrease the desired voltage.

10.The tachometer gauge (Figure 46) will indicate the speed of the engine when the generator is operating. Under normal operating conditions this speed is approximately 1500 RPM’s.

7.The ammeter (Figure 43) will indicate zero amps with no load applied. When a load is applied, the ammeter will indicate the amount of current that the load is drawing from the generator.

8.The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 44) will indicate the oil pressure of the engine. Under normal operating conditions the oil pressure is approximately 42 to 71 psi. (290~490 kPa).

12.Observe the generator’s ammeter (Figure 48) and verify it reads the anticipated amount of current with respect to the load. The ammeter will only display a current reading if a load is in use.

13.The generator will run until manually stopped or an abnormal condition occurs.
