ENGINE OPERATING PANEL
Engine Operating Panel Figure 5.
The defi nitions below describe the controls and functions of
the DCA-45SSIU3 Engine Operating Panel (Figure 5).
Panel Light 1. — 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.
Panel Light Switch 2. — When activated will turn on
control panel light.
Oil Pressure Alarm Lamp 3. — Indicates that the oil
pressure is too low or high. Engine will shut down.
Water Temperature Alarm Lamp 4. — Indicates that the
water temperature is outside of the normal operating
range. Engine will shut down.
Water Temperature Alarm Lamp 5. — Indicates that the
water level in the fuel has risen. Drain the water in the
fuel fi lter strainer when this condition occurs.
Ignition Switch 6. — Three position switch, stop,
operation and start. Insert key to start and stop
engine.
Pre-Heat Lamp 7. — As the engine cranks, this lamp
will illuminate to indicate automatic preheating of
the engine glow plugs. When the lamp turns off, this
indicates that the preheat cycle is complte and the
engine will start automatically.
Tachometer 8. — 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.
Fuel Gauge 9. — Indicates amount of diesel fuel
available.
Charging Ammeter Gauge 10. — Indicates the current
being supplied by the engine’s alternator which
provides current for generator’s control circuits and
battery charging system.
Water Temperature Gauge 11. — During normal operation
this gauge be should read between 167°~203°F (75°
~95°C
Oil Pressure Gauge 12. — During normal operation this
gauge should read between 42 ~71 psi. (290~490 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.
