DCA-600SSK — ENGINE OPERATING PANEL

The definitions below describe the controls and functions of the DCA-600SSK " Engine Operating Panels " (Figure 7).

1.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.

2.Engine Warning Display (LED) Module – This module display’s the following engine failures:

A.Overheat Lamp – This lamp goes ON when the cooling water temperature rises abnormally. If the lamp goes ON during normal operation of the generator, the emergency shutdown device will stop the engine automatically.

B.Low Oil Pressure Lamp – During normal operation of the generator this lamp should remain OFF. When the Auto-OFF/Reset- Manual switch is set to the “Manual” position to start the engine, the lamp will illuminate. After the oil pressure rises after start-up the

lamp will go OFF. If this lamp is ever illuminated (ON) during normal operation of the generator, the emergency shutdown device will stop the engine automatically.

C.Low Fuel Level Lamp – When this lamp is ON, it is time to stop the engine and add fuel. Remember to let the engine cool before adding fuel.

D.Low Battery Fluid Lamp – This lamp goes ON when the battery fluid is low. If this lamp goes ON during normal operation of the generator, stop the engine and fill the battery with distilled water to the specified level.

E.Clogged Air Filter Lamp – This lamp goes ON when the air filter is clogged. If this lamp goes ON during normal operation of the generator, stop the engine and replace the air filter.

3.Pre-Heat Lamp – Indicates that the glow plugs of the diesel engine are hot and the engine is ready to be started.

4.Emergency Stop Button – Push this button inward to stop the engine in the event of an emergency. DO NOT use this button as a normal means of stopping the engine.

5.Oil Pressure Gauge – During normal operation this gauge be should read in the “GREEN” zone. When starting the generator the oil pressure mar read a little bit higher, but after the engine warms up the oil pressure should return to the green zone.

6.Water Temperature Gauge – During normal operation this gauge be should read in the “GREEN” zone.

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 Level Gauge – Indicates amount of diesel fuel remaining.

9.Battery Switch – This switch should be set to the ON position during normal operation. When the engine has been stop, place this switch in the OFF position. DO NOT turn this switch during normal operation, it could cause damage to the electrical equipment.

10.Preheat Switch (S/N 3698617~) – Press on to heat glow plugs in cold weather conditions.

11.Engine Speed Switch (S/N 3698617~) – This switch changes the engine speed from idle to normal.

12.Ignition Switch (Up to S/N 3698616) – Four position switch, pre-heat, stop, run and start. Insert ignition key to start and stop engine.

13.Throttle Lever (Up to S/N 3698616) - This lever controls the speed of the engine (low or high).
