ENGINE MONITORING
Engine information is shown on the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) window in a toggling manner with the generator
information after the first 60 seconds of operation and then every five seconds. The engine display screen will show
oil pressure, engine coolant temperature, fuel level and battery voltage.
• “Oil Press”: Displays engine oil pressure. The display registers oil pressure between 0-100 psi (0-689 kPa).
Normal operating pressure is between 35-80 psi (241-552 kPa).
• “Eng Temp”: Displays the temperature of the engine’s coolant. If the coolant temperature exceeds the
maximum water temperature of 230°F (110°C), the engine will automatically shut down. Zero “0” will be
displayed until a minimum temperature of 100°F (38°C) is reached.
• “Fuel Level”: Displays the level of fuel in the tank by percentage (50% = 1/2 tank, 75% = 3/4 tank, etc.). If
the fuel level drops below a programmed low fuel point of 15%, a low fuel warning and optional audio alarm
will be activated. If the fuel level drops below the programmed low fuel limit of 5%, the engine will automatically
shut down.
• “Vbat”: Displays the engine battery voltage. A normal reading is 13-14V on 12 volt systems and 24-26 on
24 volt systems (with the engine running).
Additional information may be viewed while the unit is in “MANUAL” or “AUTO” mode. By pressing the “PAGE SELECT”
button, the operator will select one of the following screens; “Running” screen, “Password” screen, or “History” screen.

display the “Alarm List” screen, “ECU Alarm List” screen, “Run Hours” screen, “ECU Values” screen, engine
display screen and generator display screen.
• “Password” screen: The operator may press the “” or “” buttons on the “DIAGNOSTICS” keypad to
move the “>” cursor up or down a list of text.
• “History” screen: The operator may press the “” or “” buttons on the “DIAGNOSTICS” keypad to move
the “>” cursor up or down a list of recent alarm or shutdown codes. Pressing the “ENTER” button at a particular
selection will allow the operator to scroll to the right in the LCD window to view the generator operating
parameters at the time of the alarm or shutdown. The history of alarms or codes is saved in the digital
