DCA-60SSAI — ENGINE OPERATING PANEL

The definitions below describe the controls and functions of the DCA-60SSAI " Engine Operating Panel " (Figure 9).

1.Oil Pressure Gauge – Normal operation should be about 25 psi. 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.

2.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.

3.WaterTemperature Gauge – During normal operation this gauge be should read between 165o to 215o.

4.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.

5.Indicator Lights - These lights indicate if the oil pressure or water temperature is at dangerous levels and will shut off the engine. The oil pressure indicator will initially light at start-up, but will go off once the pressure rises.

6.Panel light switch- When activiated, will turn on control panel light.

7.Lamp Check Switch - This is used to check the indicator lights. Turn on the engine, then press this to check the bulbs. If they don’t light, replace the bulbs.

8.EngineThrottle Lever - Pull or push this lever to change the speed of the engine when a load is applied.

9.Pre-Heat Indicator – Under cold conditions, turn the starter key to preheat. Once the indicator lights, the engine is ready to start.

10.Starter Switch - Turn this to start, stop, and preheat the engine.

11.Tachometer – Indicates engine speed in RPM’s for 60 Hz operation. This meter should indicate 1800 RPM’s when the engine is at full speed and a load is applied. In addition, a built in hour meter will record the number of operational hours that the generator has been in use.
