DCA-100SSJU — GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE (MANUAL)

13.The generator's frequency meter (Figure 56) displays the 60 cycle output frequency in HERTZ.

16.The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 60) will indicate the oil pressure (kg/ cm2) of the engine. Under normal operating conditions the oil pressure is approximately 25 psi.

14.The generator's voltage meter (Figure 57) displays the 120 VAC in VOLTS. If the voltage is not within the specified frequency tolerance, use the voltage adjustment control knob (Figure 58) to increase or decrease the desired voltage.

17.The coolant temperature gauge (Figure 61) will indicate the coolant temperature. Under normal operating conditions the coolant temperature is between 165 and 215 degrees Fahrenheit.

18.The tachometer (Figure 62) will indicate the speed of the engine when the generator is operating. Under normal operating conditions this speed is approximately 1800 RPM’s.

15.The ammeter (Figure 59) will indicate zero amps with no load applied. When a load is applied, this meter will indicate the amount of current that the load is drawing from the generator’s alternator.
