3. 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 oil
pressure should return to the correct pressure range.
4. Water Temperature Gauge – During normal operation
this gauge be should read between 180° and 230°F. (82° C
and 110° C
5. 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.
6. Fuel Gauge - Indicates amount of diesel fuel available.
7. Tachometer – Indicates engine speed in RPM’s for 50
Hz operation. This meter should indicate 1500 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.
