GENERATOR OUTPUTS/GAUGE READING

HOW TO READ THE OUTPUT TERMINAL GAUGE

The AC ammeter and AC voltmeter change-over switches on the control panel DO NOT effect the generator output. They are provided to help observe how much power is being supplied, produced at the UVWO terminals lugs.

Before taking a reading from either gauge, set the Voltage Selector Switch (Figure 13) to the position which produces the required voltage (For example, for 3Ø 240V, choose the center 3Ø 240/139V position on the voltage selector switch.)

240/139V 3Ø Positio

NOTICE

For 3Ø 208V/1Ø,120V, place the Voltage Selector Switch in the 3 Phase 340/139 position.

Reading Voltage

To determine the voltage between two terminal lugs, set the AC Voltmeter Change-Over Switch to the appropriate setting (Figure 14) to activate the AC Voltmeter Gauge (Figure 15) and read the available voltage between the two lugs.

For example, to measure the voltage between the W and U terminal lugs, set the AC Voltmeter Change-Over Switch to W-U and read the AC Voltmeter Gauge.

Reading Amperage

To determine the amperage at a terminal lug, set the AC Ammeter Change-Over Switch to the appropriate setting (Figure 16) to activate the AC Ammeter Gauge (Figure 17) and read the available amperage at the terminal lug.

For example, to measure the amperage at the U terminal lug, set the AC Ammeter Change-Over Switch to U and read the AC Ammeter Gauge.

NOTICE

The ammeter gauge will only show a reading when the Output Terminal Lugs are connected to a load and in use.
