DCA-70USI (50 Hz) — GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE (MANUAL)
10.Verify that the Engine Running status LED on the MPEC unit (Figure 45) is ON (lit) after the engine has been started.

13.The ammeter (Figure 49) will indicate zero amps with no load applied.When a load is applied, the ammeter will indicate the amount of current that the load is drawing from the generator.

(No Load)
14.The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 50) will indicate the oil pressure (kg/ cm2) of the engine. Under normal operating conditions the oil pressure is approximately 35~65 PSI.
15.The coolant temperature gauge (Figure 51) will indicate the coolant temperature. Under normal operating conditions the coolant temperature should be between 165 and 215 degrees Fahrenheit (Green Zone).

16.The tachometer gauge (Figure 52) will indicate the speed of the engine when the generator is operating. Under normal operating conditions this speed is approximately 1500 RPM’s.

18.Observe the generator's ammeter (Figure 54) and verify it reads the anticipated amount of current with respect to the load. The ammeter will only display a current reading if a load is in use.
