Figure 4. Engine Control Panel

The definitions below describe the controls and functions of the Engine Control Panel (Figure 4).

1.Engine Warning Lamps — There are four engine warning lamps, they are defined as follows:

a.Low Oil Pressure Alarm Lamp — During normal operation of the generator this lamp

will remain OFF. When the ignition

switch is placed in the RUN position to start the engine, the lamp will be

ON. When 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 shutdown system will stop the engine automatically.

b.Water Temperature Alarm Lamp — This lamp goes ON when the cooling water temperature rises abnormally. If

the lamp goes ON during normal operation of the generator, the emergency shutdown system will stop the engine automatically.

c.Battery Charge Alarm Lamp — This lamp is

ON when the output voltage of the alternator drops below a set value. If this lamp is ON during normal operation, the emergency shutdown system will immediately stop the engine.

d.Pre-Heat Lamp — The pre-heat lamp will be ON during the pre-heating cycle (cold weather conditions). When the pre-heat cycle is completed the lamp will turn OFF and the engine can be started.

In addition this lamp displays engine trouble shooting faults via flashes (blinking). See engine trouble codes in the maintenance section of this manual.

2.Fuel Gauge – Indicates amount of diesel fuel available

3.Hour Meter – Indicates amount of time generator has been in use.

4.Engine Speed Switch – This switch controls the speed of the engine (low/high).

5.Ignition Switch – Three position switch, stop, run and start. Insert ignition key to start and stop engine.
