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.)

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

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.
