of the Engine Operating Panel (Figure 6).
1.
Oil Pressure Gauge – During normal operation this
gauge be should read between 35 to 65 psi. (241~448
kPa). When starting the generator the oil pressure may
read a little higher, but after the engine warms up the
oilpressure should return to the correct pressure range.
2. Water Temperature Gauge – During normal operation
this gauge be should read between 180° and 221°F. (82°
C and 110° C
3. Charging Ammeter Gauge – Indicates the current
being supplied by the engine’s alternator which
provides current for generator’s control circuits and
battery charging system.
4.
Fuel Gauge - Indicates amount of diesel fuel available.
5. Tachometer – Indicates engine speed in RPM’s for 60
Hz operation. This meter should indicate 1800 RPM’s
when the rated load is applied. In addition a built in hour
meter will record the number of operational hours that
the generator has been in use.
6. Panel Light – Normally used in dark areas or at night
time. When activated, panel lights will illuminate. When
the generator is not in use be sure to turn the panel
light switch to the OFF position.
