Baldor PC13R, BALDOR GENERATOR manual Oil sensor unit 0Be sure not to damage each wire

@Detection circuit*****Thisdetects-* quantity of oil, sufficient or not, according to difference of electric resistanceacross inner and outer electrodes.

Delay circuit ** . * . - ** . - * This prevents the sensor from making an unnecessary stop of the engine by momentary lowering of the oil leveldue to theenginebeing slanted or affected by vibration in spite of sufficient oilin the crankcase.

@stopping circuit - -* * * -This automatically stops the enginerunning.

Also,theLED indicator forwarningcanbe’ lit whiletheengine is being stopped. We have the wires to be connected to LED available.

5-5-5CAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN ON HANDLING THE SENSOR

(1) Oil sensor unit

0Be sure not to damage each wire.

Broken or short-circuited power supply wires and/or a grounding wire in particular may lead to malfunction or breakdown.

(2) Mounting and wiring of oil sensor unit

0Although this has been designed to have enough anti-noise properties in practical use, do not route the sensor wirings in the vicinity of noise-generating sources such as ignition plugs or high voltage cords. This may cause malfunction or breakdown.

”

@ Since capacity of power source is limited, current flown in the electronic circuit of the sensor is kept as low as possible.

Be sureto use terminals with a high contact reliability of more than that of tinned terminals.

(3) Operation of oilsensor

0If operating with the engine kept tilted, oil surface inside of the engine varies and the correct oil level can not to be detected which in turn obstructs the preventing function of engine seizure. Operate the engine by keeping it level.

@When starting the engine with an insufficient oil in the crankcase, engine starts once then it stops automatically after it runs for about 5 seconds.

@When theenginehas been stopped by theoil sensor, voltage remained in theelectronic circuit

prevents the sensor frombeing re-started for 3 seconds after the engine stop. Try to re-start the engineafter 3 seconds or more.
