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.

When the voltage change-over board is jumpered for 3Ø, 240V operation (See Figures 14 and15), place the AC Voltmeter Change-Over Switch (See Figures 16 and 17) to the W-U position and the AC Ammeter Change-Over Switch (Figure 16) to the U or W position to read the output on the selected leg.
