Figure 7. Engine Operating Panel
The definitions below describe the controls and functions of the "Engine Operating Panel " (Figure 7).
1.Panel Light - Normally used in dark places or at night. When activated, panel will luminate. When the generator is not in use, turn the panel light switch to the OFF position.
2.Water Temperature Lamp - Indicates that the water temperature is outside of normal range and will shut down the engine.
3.Oil Pressure Lamp - Indicates that the oil pressure is too low or high and will shut down the engine.
4.Fuel FilterWater Level Alarm Lamp - This lamp turns on when the water level in the fuel filter rises too high. Drain the water in the fuel filter strainer to correct the problem.
5.Oil Pressure Gauge – Normal operation should be approximately 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.
6.WaterTemperature Gauge – During normal operation this gauge should read between 165°~203° F. (74°~95° C).
7.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.
8.Fuel Gauge - Indicates amount of diesel fuel available.
9.Tachometer – Indicates engine speed in RPM’s for 60 Hz operation.This meter should indicate 1800 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.
10.Ignition Switch – Four position switch,
11.
12.Fuel Leak Detected Alarm Lamp - This lamp will illuminate when a leak in the fuel containment enclosure is detected.
13.Panel Light Switch- When activated, will turn on control panel light.
