2.8.1 Controls and Indicators
The following table describes the controls and indicators
located on the controller.
Name Description
AC voltmeter The meter displays the AC output
voltage. Use the selector switch to
choose the output lead circuits.
AC ammeter The meter displays the AC output
amperage. Use the selector switch to
choose the phase currents.
DC voltmeter The meter displays the voltage of the
starting battery(ies).
Fault lamp The lamp illuminates during engine
shutdown if the engine shuts down
because of one of the following faults:
high engine temperature, low water
level, low oil pressure, overcrank, or
overspeed. See Section 2.8.4, Fault
Shutdowns, for additional shutdown
information.
Frequency meter The meter displays the frequency (Hz)
of the generator set output.
Generator set
master switch
The switch functions as the controller
reset and generator set operation
switch.
Hourmeter The hourmeter records the generator
set total operating hours for reference
in maintenance scheduling.
Oil pressure
gauge
The gauge displays the engine oil
pressure.
Scale lamps
(upper/lower)
The lamps indicate which AC
voltmeter and/or ammeter scales to
read.
Selector switch The switch selects the generator set
output circuits to measure. When
switched to a position with two circuit
labels, measure amperage on the
lead shown in the upper label and
measure voltage between the two
leads shown in the lower label. The
AC ammeter and voltmeter function
only with the switch in the ON
position.
Voltage
adjustment
potentiometer
The potentiometer fine-tunes (±5%)
the generator set output voltage.
Water
temperature
gauge
The gauge displays the engine
coolant temperature.
10-amp controller
fuse
The fuse protects the controller
circuitry from short circuits and
overloads.
