DCA-400SSV— GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL

Also the engine controller will shut down the engine in the event of low oil pressure, high coolant temperature, low coolant level, and loss of magnetic pickup.These conditions can be observed by monitoring the LED status indicators on the front of the controller module.

A.MPEC Control Switch – This switch controls the running of the unit. If this switch is set to the OFF/RESET position, the unit will not run. When this switch is set to the MANUAL position, the generator will start immediately.

If the generator is to be connected to a building's AC power source via a transfer switch (isolation), place the switch in the AUTO position. In this position the generator will monitor the AC line output from the building's power source.

B.Low Oil Pressure – Indicates the engine pressure has fallen below 15 psi. The oil pressure is detected using variable resistive values from the oil pressure sending unit. This is considered a major fault.

C.High Coolant Temperature – Indicates the engine temperature has exceeded 239°F. The engine temperature is detected using variable resistive values from the temperature sending unit. This is considered a major fault.

D.Overcrank Shutdown – Indicates the unit has attempted to start a pre- programmed number of times, and has failed to start. The number of cycles and duration are programmable. It is pre-set at 3 cycles with a 10 second duration. This is considered a major fault.

E.Overspeed Shutdown – Indicates the engine is running at an unsafe speed. This is considered a major fault.

F.Engine Running – Indicates that engine is running at a safe operating speed.

Located behind the generator control panel is the Generator Control Box. This box contains some of the necessary electronic components required to make the generator function.

The Control Box is equipped with the following major components:

■Over-Current Relay

■Voltage Rectifer (AVR)

■Starter Relay

■Current Transformer

■Voltage Selector Switch

■Three Phase Circuit Breaker

Remember the overcurrent

NOTErelay monitors the current flowing from the U,V, and W Output Terminal Lugs to the load.

In the event of a short circuit or over current condition, it will automatically trip the 600 amp main breaker.

To restore power to the Output Terminal Panel, press the reset button on the overcurrent relay and place the main circuit breaker in the closed position (ON).
