DCA-10SPX3 — CONTROL PANEL, CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

The definitions below describe the controls and functions of the DCA-10SPX3 (Figure 6):

1.Frequency Meter – Indicates the output frequency in hertz (Hz). Normally 60 Hz ±1 Hz .

2.AC Ammeter – Indicates the amount of current the load is being drawn from the generator.

3.AC Voltmeter – Indicates the single phase output voltage present at the UNV terminals.

4.Engine Warning Display Module – This module displays the following engine failures:

A.Overheat Lamp – This lamp goes ON when the coolant is over 215oF. If the lamp goes ON during normal operation of the generator, the emergency shut- down device will stop the engine automatically.

B.Low Oil Pressure Lamp – During normal operation of the generator this lamp should remain OFF. After the oil pressure rises after start-up, the lamp will go OFF. If this lamp is ever lit (ON)

during normal operation of the generator, the emergency shut-down 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.

5.Ignition Switch - This switch turns on and off the engine with a key.

6.Voltage Regulator Control – Allows manual adjustment of the generator’s output voltage.

7.Hour Meter - This meter monitors the number of hours the generator has been running. Use this meter to schedule regular maintenance.

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

9.WaterTemperature Gauge – During normal operation this gauge be should read in the “GREEN” zone.

10.A.C. GCFI Receptacle - This output receptacle is used as a power source.

11.Ground Terminal - This is used to ground the generator.

12. UNV Terminal - Used to connect AC load for 120V or 240V single phase.

13.Main Circuit Breaker – This three-pole,20 amp main breaker is provided to protect the UNV voltage output terminals from overload.

14.GCFI Receptacle Circuit Breaker -This will shut down the output receptacle if there in an overload.
