Multiquip operation manual DCA-15SPX4 Generator Control Panel

DCA-15SPX4 — GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL

The definitions below describe the controls and functions of the Generator Control Panel (Figure 4).

1.Frequency Meter – Indicates the output frequency in hertz (Hz). Normally 60 Hz.

2.AC Ammeter – Indicates the amount of current the load is drawing from the generator per leg selected by the ammeter phase-selector switch.

3.AC Voltmeter – Indicates the output voltage present at the U,O, and V Output Terminal Lugs.

4.EngineWarning Lamp Module – This module displays the following engine failures:

A.Pre-Heat Lamp – As the engine cranks, this lamp will illuminate to indicate automatic preheating of the engine. When the lamp turns off, the engine has been preheated.

B.Water Temperature Alarm Lamp – This lamp indicates when the emergency shutdown system has stopped the engine for abnormally high water temperature(234 deg. F).

C.Oil Pressure Alarm Lamp – This lamp is on when the starter switch is in the “ON” position and the engine oil pressure is low(7.1 PSI). It will indicate when the starter switch is in the “ON” position, before the engine has been started, and if the emergency shutdown system has stopped the engine.

D.Battery Charging Alarm Lamp – This lamp is ON when the output voltage of the alternator drops tob an unusual value. If this lamp indicates during operation, the emergency shutdown system immediately operates to stop the engine.

5.Hour Meter – Indicates the number of hours machine has been in use.

6.Engine Speed Control Switch – This switch controls the speed of the engine from idle to high.

7.Starter Switch – This switch has four positions.

A.Stop – The switch should be in this position anytime the unit is not in operation.This position allows removal of the key.

B.Run – The switch should be in this position when the unit is in operation.

C.Preheat – Use this position before starting during cold weather operating conditions. Observe the Preheat Lamp for indication of the proper time for starting the engine.

D.Start – This position starts the engine, and when released will automatically return to the run position.

8.Voltage Regulator Control – Allows ±15% manual adjustment of the generator’s output voltage.

9.CS6369 Receptacle – Provides 240/120 VAC output (50 amps max).

10.L6-30R Receptacle – Provides 240 VAC output (30 amps max).

11.L5-30R Receptacle – Provides 120 VAC output (30 amps max).

12.GFCI Receptacle – Provides 120 VAC output (20 amps max).

13.AC Circuit Breaker - This two-pole, 50A breaker is provided to protect the CS6369 receptacle from overload.

14.UNVTerminals - Connect load to these terminals AC load for 120/240 VAC single phase 60 Hz. output.

15.GFCI Ground Terminal - Use this terminal to ground the generator

16.AC Circuit Breaker - This two-pole, 30A breaker is provided to protect the auxillary receptacle (for L6-30R) from overload.

17.AC Circuit Breaker - This single-pole, 30A breaker is provided to protect the auxillary receptacle (for L5-30R) from overload.

18.AC Circuit Breaker -This single-pole, 20A GFCI breaker is provided to protect the GFCI receptacle (5-20R) from overload.

19.AC Circuit Breaker – This three-pole, 70A main breaker is provided to protect the the U,N, and V Output Terminal Lugs from overload.
