ACA Alternating Current Ammeter
AC ammeter (ACA) gives an indication, in amperes, of the current from each phase of the generator to the load. Either ammeter selector switch (AS) or ammeter/voltmeter selector switch (AVS) connect the ammeter to the current transformer on phase T1, T2 or T3; see Contact Charts. Ammeters normally have an input range from 0 to 5 amperes. Current transfer (CT1, CT2 or CT3) causes a reduction of the actual line current, in its respective phase lead, to a level within the input range of the ammeter. The ammeter is calibrated (has marks) to give an indication of the actual current flow in one phase lead of the generator.
NOTE: X gives an indication of a closed contact
AMMETER SELECTOR SWITCH (AS)

ACS Engine Control Switch
Engine control switch (ACS) controls the engine start and stop systems. To start the engine, move the switch to the manual position. To stop the engine, move the switch to the STOP or OFF position. For standby application (engine starts when remote initiating contact I closes) move the switch to the AUTO position. For more information on the operation of this switch, make reference to the AUTOMATIC START/STOP SYSTEM.
ACV Alternating Current Voltmeter
AC voltmeter (ACV) shows the potential difference (voltage) between phase T1 and T2, when the panel is equipped with an ammeter selector switch (AS) only. If the panel is equipped with an ammeter/voltmeter selector switch (AVS), the potential difference between T1-T2, T2-T3 or T3-T1 can be seen. Turn the switch to position 1, 2 or 3 respectively. Make reference to the ALTERNATING CURRENT AMMETER.
DCA Direct Current Ammeter
Direct current ammeter (DCA) goes in place of plug (1). This ammeter shows the amount of DC current in amperes, that flows in the alternator circuit (if so equipped).
ENFL/RE Engine Failure Light/Reset Switch
Engine failure light/reset switch (ENFL/RE) will activate when the engine has a failure. One or more of the shutdown indicators will also activate to give an indication of the problem. Shutdown relay (SR) will activate to start the shutdown sequence. Make reference to SHUTDOWN CAUSED BY ENGINE FAILURE and ENGINE DOES NOT START.
NOTICE |
---|
Turn engine control switch (ACS) to the STOP or OFF position immediately after engine shutdown caused by high water temperature, low oil pressure or overspeed. This will cause an open in the circuit to the arming relay (AR). Normally open contact of arming relay (AR2) will open and current flow to rack solenoid (RS) will stop. This will help prevent damage to the rack solenoid from too much current. |
FM Frequency Meter
Frequency meter (FM) shows the hertz (cycles per second) of the electricity made when the generator set is in operation. There is a direct relation between the frequency of the electricity and the rpm of the generator set; see formula.
GS Governor Switch
Governor switch (GS) is in place of button (2) when the engine is equipped with a remote control synchronizing motor for the governor. Engine speed is controlled with this switch.
OPG Oil Pressure Gauge
Oil pressure gauge (OPG) shows the pressure, in psi, of engine lubrication oil. When fuel pressure switch (FPS), pressure switch (PSW) or normally open contact of the arming relay (AR2) is closed, oil pressure gauge (OPG) is connected across battery voltage. There is a relation between the current flow in this circuit and the engine oil pressure read on oil pressure gauge (OPG). Oil pressure sender (OP) controls the current flow by a change in resistance according to the change in engine oil pressure.
PL1,2 Panel Lamps
Light for the control panel is given by panel lamps (PL1 and PL2). These lamps are controlled by panel light switch (PLS).
VLR Voltage Level Rheostat
Voltage level rheostat (VLR) takes the place of voltage level rheostat (R2) on the generator regulator assembly. It is used to adjust the voltage output of the generator.
NOTE: Make reference to OPERATION OF GENERATOR; REGULATOR ADJUSTMENT. On generators equipped with a generator mounted control panel, the yellow wire from voltage level rheostat (R2) to terminal (7) on the regulator terminal strip is disconnected at terminal (7).
WTG Water Temperature Gauge
Water temperature gauge (WTG) shows the temperature, in degrees fahrenheit, of engine coolant. When fuel pressure switch (FPS), pressure switch (PSW) or normally open contact of the arming relay (AR2) is closed, water temperature gauge (WTG is connected across battery voltage. There is a relation between the current flow in this circuit and the coolant temperature read on water temperature gauge (WTG). Water temperature sender (WT) controls the current flow by a change in resistance according to the change in coolant temperature.
Automatic Start/Stop System
Introduction
The automatic start/stop system is normally used for standby operation. That is, without an operator. The generator set must start, pick up the load, operate the load, and stop after the load is removed. An automatic transfer switch controls the transfer of load to and from the generator set. When normal (commercial) power has a failure, initiating contactor (I), part of the automatic transfer switch, closes. This will begin the automatic start sequence. When the engine starts, the control panel instruments will show voltage and frequency. The automatic transfer switch will transfer the load to the generator set when voltage and frequency reach approximately rated value. When normal power returns, the automatic transfer switch will transfer the load back to normal power. Initiating contactor (I) will open. This will begin the automatic stop sequence. The generator set will also stop automatically if the engine has a failure.
NOTE: For specifications on components located on the engine, make reference to the ENGINE SERVICE MANUAL.
Automatic Start
CONTROL PANEL AUTOMATIC POSITION-ENGINE CRANKS
With engine control switch (ACS) in the AUTO position, contacts 1, 2 and 6 are closed. When commercial (normal) power has a failure, initiating contactor (I) closes. This makes a complete circuit from battery (BATT) to energize run relay (RR), magnetic switch (MS) and overcrank timer (OCT).
When run relay (RR) is energized, contacts (RR2) open and contacts (RR1) close. (RR2) open prevents current flow to rack solenoid (RS) through fuel pressure switch (FPS) or pressure switch (PSW). (RR1) closed makes it possible to energize oil pressure indicator (OPI).
When magnetic switch (MS) is energized, (MS) contacts close and pinion solenoid (PS) is energized. This causes (PS) contacts to close, starting motor (SM) will crank the engine. (FPS) or (PSW) will close. This energizes water temperature gauge (WTG) and oil pressure gauge (OPG).
When overcrank timer (OCT) is energized, a timer will start. After the engine cranks for approximately 30 seconds, the timer will stop. (OCT) contacts will close. Make reference to ENGINE DOES NOT START.
Manual Start
The current flow for manual start is similar to automatic start except engine control switch (ACS) is turned to the MAN position. Contact (2) is open and contact (3) is closed. It is not necessary for initiating contactor (I) to close. Run relay (RR), magnetic switch (MS) and overcrank timer (OCT) will energize as soon as contact (3) is closed.
Engine Starts
At 600 rpm, underspeed switch (USS), closes (if so equipped). Oil pressure increases. This activates oil pressure switch (OPS). The normally closed contact opens and the normally open contact closes. The arming relay (AR) is now connected across battery voltage. Contacts (AR1) close and lock in the arming relay. Contacts (AR2) close to help complete a circuit to rack solenoid (RS) for shutdown. Contacts (AR3) open. This de-energizes overcrank timer (OCT) and magnetic switch (MS). (MS) contacts open to de-energize pinion solenoid (PS). (PS) contacts open to de-energize starting motor (SM).
CONTROL PANEL AUTOMATIC POSITION-ENGINE STARTS
Engine Does Not Start
If the engine does not start in approximately 30 seconds, (OCT) contacts will close. This completes the circuit to overcrank indicator (OCI), engine failure light/reset switch (ENFL/RE) and shutdown relay (SR).
(SR1) contacts close to lock in the shutdown relay. (SR2) contacts open. This de-energizes run relay (RR), magnetic switch (MS) and overcrank timer (OCT). (MS) contacts open and de-energize pinion solenoid (PS). (PS) contacts open and de-energize starting motor (SM). Fuel pressure switch (FPS) or pressure switch (PSW) will open. This de-energizes water temperature gauge (WTG) and oil pressure gauge (OPG).
Overcrank indicator (OCI) will pop out (move out suddenly) and engine failure light/reset switch (ENFL/RE) will give light. To start the engine do the steps that follow:
1. Turn engine control switch (ACS) to OFF or STOP. This will prevent the engine from starting if it is not desired.
2. Push engine failure light/reset switch (ENFL/RE). This will open (ENFL/RE) contacts and de-energize shutdown relay (SR) and engine failure light/reset switch (ENFL/RE).
3. Release the engine failure light/reset switch. If the light goes out, go to the next step. If the light is still on (OCT) contacts are still closed. A thermal protector keeps (OCT) contacts closed to protect the starting motor. Push and release the engine failure light/reset switch at short intervals until the light goes out.
4. Push overcrank indicator button (OCI) back in.
5. Turn the engine control switch to AUTO. If the engine does not start in approximately 30 seconds, the overcrank indicator will pop out and the engine failure light/reset switch will give light.
6. Turn engine control switch (ACS) to OFF or STOP. Correct the problem that caused the engine not to start. Make reference to TROUBLESHOOTING.
CONTROL PANEL AUTOMATIC POSITION-ENGINE DOES NOT START
Return of Commercial (Normal) Power
When commercial power returns, the automatic transfer switch transfers the load to comercial power. Initiating contacts (I) open. This de-energizes run relay (RR) and arming relay (AR).
When run relay (RR) is de-energized, contacts (RR2) close and contacts (RR1) open. (RR2) closed energizes rack solenoid (RS). The rack solenoid moves the rack to the FUEL OFF position. (RR1) open prevents an indication of low oil pressure with normal shutdown.
When arming relay (AR) is de-energized, contacts (AR1 and AR2) open and contacts (AR3) close. (AR1) open prevents the arming relay from being energized before the engine starts. (AR2) open prevents current flow to rack solenoid (RS) when engine control switch (ACS) is in the OFF or STOP position. (AR3) closed helps complete the circuit to magnetic switch (MS) and overcrank timer (OCT).
When the engine stops, fuel pressure switch (FPS) or pressure switch (PSW) opens. This de-energizes water temperature gauge (WTG), oil pressure gauge (OPG) and rack solenoid (RS).
Diode (D1) releases any voltage in the coil of rack solenoid (RS) when it is de-energized.
CONTROL PANEL AUTOMATIC POSITION-COMMERCIAL POWER RETURNS
Manual Shutdown
When engine control switch (ACS) is turned to the STOP or OFF position, contacts (9 or 10) close and contacts (2 and 3) are open. (9 or 10) closed completes a circuit to rack solenoid (RS). The rack solenoid moves the rack to the fuel OFF position. When contacts (2 and 3) are both open, no shutdown indicators can operate. This also de-energizes run relay (RR) and arming relay (AR). (RR2) opens, (RR1) closes. (AR1 and AR2) open, (AR3) closes.
Fuel pressure switch (FPS) or pressure switch (PSW) will open when the engine stops. This de-energizes water temperature gauge (WTG), oil pressure gauge (OPG) and rack solenoid (RS).
Diode (D1) releases any voltage in the coil of rack solenoid (RS) when it is de-energized.
The system is ready to start if engine control switch (ACS) is turned to MAN or AUTO.
CONTROL PANEL STOP POSITION-MANUAL SHUTDOWN
Shutdown Caused By Engine Failure
The packaged generator set has shutdown sensors, shutdown indicators and a shutdown circuit for the conditions that follow:
- 1. Low oil pressure
- 2. High water temperature
- 3. Overspeed
- 4. Overcrank
- 2. High water temperature
For information about overcrank shutdown, make reference to ENGINE DOES NOT START.
Conditions (1, 2 or 3) will energize its respective indicator, engine failure light/reset switch (ENFL/RE) and shutdown relay (SR).
(SR1) contacts close to lock in the shutdown relay. (SR2) contacts open. This de-energizes run relay (RR). (RR2) closes and (RR1) opens. (RR2) closed energizes rack solenoid (RS). The rack solenoid moves the rack to the fuel OFF position. Fuel pressure switch (FPS) or pressure switch (PSW) will open when the engine stops. This de-energizes water temperature gauge (WTG), oil pressure gauge (OPG) and rack solenoid (RS). The correct indicator will pop out (move out suddenly) to show the cause of the shutdown. To start the engine do the steps that follow:
1. Turn engine control switch (ACS) to OFF or STOP. This will prevent the engine from starting if it is not desired.
NOTICE |
---|
Do Step 1 immediately after shutdown. Step 1 will help prevent damage to rack solenoid (RS) from too much current. When engine control switch (ACS) is turned to STOP or OFF, (AR2) contacts will open and stop current flow to the rack solenoid. |
2. Identify and correct the problem that caused the shutdown.
3. Push engine failure light/reset switch (ENFL/RE). This will open (ENFL/RE) contacts and de-energize shutdown relay (SR).
4. Push the indicator button that is out.
5. Reset oil pressure or overspeed switch if necessary.
The system is ready to start if engine control switch (ACS) is turned to MAN or AUTO.

Automatic Start/Stop System
Introduction
The automatic start/stop system is normally used for standby operation. That is, without an operator. The generator set must start, pick up the load, operate the load, and stop after the load is removed. An automatic transfer switch controls the transfer of load to and from the generator set. When normal (commercial) power has a failure, initiating contactor (I), part of the automatic transfer switch, closes. This will begin the automatic start sequence. When the engine starts, the control panel instruments will show voltage and frequency. The automatic transfer switch will transfer the load to the generator set when voltage and frequency reach approximately rated value. When normal power returns, the automatic transfer switch will transfer the load back to normal power. Initiating contactor (I) will open. This will begin the automatic stop sequence. The generator set will also stop automatically if the engine has a failure.
NOTE: There are two types of automatic start/stop systems used with the earlier type generator mounted control panel. One uses a mechanically driven speed switch (USS and OSS) and an oil pressure switch (OPS) that is the shape of a cylinder. The other uses an electrical speed switch (DSS) and an oil pressure switch that is the shape of a box.
Automatic Start
CONTROL PANEL WITH MECHANICAL SPEED SWITCH
AUTOMATIC POSITION-ENGINE CRANKS
With engine control switch (ACS) in the AUTO position, contacts 1, 2 and 6 are closed. When commercial (normal) power has a failure, initiating contactor (I) closes. This makes a complete circuit from battery (BATT) to energize run relay (RR), magnetic switch (MS), dual speed switch (DSS) (if so equipped) and overcrank timer (OCT).
When run relay (RR) is energized, contacts (RR2) open and contacts (RR1) close. (RR2) open prevents current flow to rack solenoid (RS) through pressure switch (PSW). (RR1) closed makes it possible to energize oil pressure indicator (OPI).
When magnetic switch (MS) is energized, (MS) contacts close and pinion solenoid (PS) is energized. This causes (PS) contacts to close, starting motor (SM) will crank the engine. (FPS) or (PSW) will close. This energizes water temperature gauge (WTG) and oil pressure gauge (OPG).
When overcrank timer (OCT) is energized, a timer will start. After the engine cranks for approximately 30 seconds, the timer will top. (OCT) contacts will close. Make reference to ENGINE DOES NOT START.
When dual speed switch (DSS) (if so equipped) is energized, the magnetic pickup relays the engine rpm to the switch. The dual speed switch has an underspeed (USS) circuit and an overspeed (OSS) circuit.
Manual Start
The current flow for manual start is similar to automatic start except engine control switch (ACS) is turned to the MAN position. Contact (2) is open and contact (3) is closed. It is not necessary for initiating contactor (I) to close. Run relay (RR), magnetic switch (MS) and overcrank timer (OCT) will energize as soon as contact (3) is closed.

Automatic Start/Stop System
Introduction
The automatic start/stop system is normally used for standby operation. That is, without an operator. The generator set must start, pick up the load, operate the load, and stop after the load is removed. An automatic transfer switch controls the transfer of load to and from the generator set. When normal (commercial) power has a failure, initiating contactor (I), part of the automatic transfer switch, closes. This will begin the automatic start sequence. When the engine starts, the control panel instruments will show voltage and frequency. The automatic transfer switch will transfer the load to the generator set when voltage and frequency reach approximately rated value. When normal power returns, the automatic transfer switch will transfer the load back to normal power. Initiating contactor (I) will open. This will begin the automatic stop sequence. The generator set will also stop automatically if the engine has a failure.
NOTE: For specifications on components located on the engine, make reference to the ENGINE SERVICE MANUAL.
Automatic Start
CONTROL PANEL
AUTOMATIC POSITION-ENGINE CRANKS
With engine control switch (ACS) in the AUTO position, contacts 1, 2 and 6 are closed. When commercial (normal) power has a failure, remote start initiating contact (I) closes. This makes a complete circuit from battery (BATT) to energize run relay (RR) and magnetic switch (MS).
When run relay (RR) is energized, contacts (RR2) open and contacts (RR1) close. (RR2) open prevents current flow to shutoff solenoid (SS) through pressure switch (PSW). (RR1) closed energizes dual speed switch (DSS) and overcrank timer (OCT).
When dual speed switch (DSS) is energized, a magnetic pickup relays engine rpm to the switch. The dual speed switch has a crank terminate (CTS) circuit and an overspeed (OSS) circuit.
When overcrank timer (OCT) is energized, a timer will start. After the engine cranks for approximately 30 seconds the timer will stop. (OCT) contacts will close. Make reference to ENGINE DOES NOT START.
When magnetic switch (MS) is energized, (MS) contacts close and pinion solenoid (PS) is energized. This causes (PS) contacts to close, starting motor (SM) will crank the engine. (PSW) will close. This energizes water temperature gauge (WTG) and oil pressure gauge (OPG).
Manual Start
The current flow for manual start is similar to automatic start except engine control switch (ACS) is turned to the MAN position. Contact (2) is open and contact (3) is closed. It is not necessary for remote start indicating contact (I) to close. Run relay (RR) and magnetic switch (MS) will energize as soon as contact (3) is closed.
Engine Starts
At 600 rpm, crank terminate switch (CTS) closes. Oil pressure increases. This activates oil pressure switch (OPS). The normally closed contact opens and the normally open contact closes. The arming relay (AR) is now connected across battery voltage. Contacts (AR1) close and lock in the arming relay. Contacts (AR2) open. This de-energizes magnetic switch (MS). (MS) contacts open to de-energize pinion solenoid (PS). (PS) contacts open to de-energize starting motor. Contacts (AR3) open to de-energize overcrank timer (OCT).
CONTROL PANEL
AUTOMATIC POSITION-ENGINE STARTS
Engine Does Not Start
If the engine does not start in approximately 30 seconds, overcrank timer (OCT) will let current flow to overcrank indicating relay (OCIR). (OCIR) contacts close and current flows to energize engine fault light (ENFL) and shutdown relay (SR).
(SR) contacts open. This de-enrgizes run relay (RR) and magnetic switch (MS).
When run relay (RR) is de-energized, contacts (RR2) close and contacts (RR1) open. (RR2) closed completes a circuit to shutoff solenoid (SS) until pressure switch (PSW) opens. (RR1) open de-energizes arming relay (AR), dual speed switch (DSS) and overcrank timer (OCT).
NOTE: Pressure switch (PSW) is not always closed when the engine cranks. Pressure caused by starting motor rotation of the engine is not always enough to close (PSW).
When magnetic switch (MS) is de-energized, (MS) contacts open. This de-energizes pinion solenoid (PS). (PS) contacts open and de-energize starting motor (SM).
Overcrank indicating relay (OCIR) and engine fault light (ENFL) will give light. To start the engine, do the steps that follow:
1. Turn engine control switch (ACS) to OFF or STOP. This will prevent the engine from starting if (ENFL) is pushed.
2. Push and release engine fault light (ENFL). This will open (ENFL) contacts for a moment and de-energize overcrank indicating relay (OCIR). (OCIR) contacts will open and de-energize engine fault light (ENFL) and shutoff relay (SR).
3. Turn the engine control switch to AUTO. If the engine does not start in approximately 30 seconds, the overcrank indicating relay and engine fault light will give light.
4. Turn engine control switch (ACS) to OFF or STOP. Correct the problem that caused the engine not to start. Make reference to TROUBLESHOOTING.
CONTROL PANEL
AUTOMATIC POSITION-ENGINE DOES NOT START
Return of Commercial (Normal) Power
When commercial power returns, the automatic transfer switch transfers the load to commercial power. Remote start initiating contacts (I) open. This de-energizes run relay (RR).
When run relay (RR) is de-energized, contacts (RR2) close and contacts (RR1) open. (RR2) closed completes a circuit to shut-off solenoid (SS). The shut-off solenoid moves the rack to the fuel OFF position. After the engine stops (PSW) will open to de-energize the shut-off solenoid. (RR1) open de-energizes arming relay (AR) and dual speed switch (DSS).
Diode (D1) is in the shut-off solenoid circuit to help prevent electrical sparks (arching), at the shut-off solenoid contacts, when the shut-off solenoid is de-energized.

AUTOMATIC POSITION-AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN
Manual Shutdown
When engine control switch (ACS) is turned to the STOP or OFF position, contacts (9 or 10) close and contacts (2 and 3) are both open, no shutdown indicators can operate. (9 to 10) closed completes a circuit to shut-off solenoid (SS). The shut-off solenoid moves the rack to the fuel OFF position. (2 and 3) open de-energizes run relay (RR).
When run relay (RR) is de-energized, contacts (RR2) close and contacts (RR1) open. (RR2) closed completes a parallel circuit to shut-off solenoid (SS). This circuit is necessary to stop the engine when the engine control switch is in the AUTO or MAN position. After the engine stops, (PSW) will open to de-energize the shut-off solenoid. (RR1) open de-energizes arming relay (AR) and dual speed switch (DSS).
Diode (D1) helps prevent electrical sparks (arcing), at the contacts in the shut-off solenoid circuit when the shut-off solenoid is de-energized.

When shutdown relay (SR) is energized, (SR) contacts open. This de-energizes run relay (RR). Contacts (RR2) close and contacts (RR1) open. (RR2) closed completes a circuit to shut-off solenoid (SS) until pressure switch (PSW) opens. (RR1) open de-energizes arming relay (AR) and dual speed switch (DSS).
Diode (D1) helps prevent electrical sparks (arcing) at the contacts in the shut-off solenoid circuit, when the shut-off solenoid is de-energized.
Engine fault light (ENFL) and the indicating relay for the fault condition will give light. To start the engine, do the steps that follow.
1. Turn engine control switch (ACS) to OFF or STOP.
This will prevent the engine from starting if (ENFL) is pushed.
NOTE: For start up when (OCIR) indicating relay gives light, make reference to ENGINE DOES NOT START.

There is a relation between the current flow in this circuit and the engine oil pressure read on oil pressure gauge (OPG). Oil pressure sender (OP) controls the current flow by a change in resistance according to the change in engine oil pressure.

PL1, 2 Panel Lamps
Light for the control panel is given by panel lamps (PL1 and PL2). These lamps are controlled by panel light switch (PLS).
VLR Voltage Level Rheostat
Voltage level rheostat (VLR) takes the place of voltage level rheostat (R2) on the generator regulator assembly. It is used to adjust the voltage output of the generator.
NOTE: Make reference to OPERATION OF GENERATOR; REGULATOR ADJUSTMENT. On generators equipped with a generator mounted control panel, the yellow wire from voltage level rheostat (R2) to terminal (7) on the regulator terminal strip is disconnected at terminal (7).
Automatic Start/Stop System
Introduction
The automatic start/stop system is normally used for standby operation. That is, without an operator. The generator set must start, pick up the load, operate the load, and stop after the load is removed. An automatic transfer switch controls the transfer of load to and from the generator set. When normal (commercial) power has a failure, initiating contactor (I), part of the automatic transfer switch, closes. This will begin the automatic start sequence. When the engine starts, the control panel instruments will show voltage and frequency. The automatic transfer switch will transfer the load to the generator set when voltage and frequency reach approximately rated value. When normal power returns, the automatic transfer switch will transfer the load back to normal power. Initiating contactor (I) will open. This will begin the automatic stop sequence. The generator set will also stop automatically if the engine has a failure.
NOTE: For specifications on components located on the engine, make reference to the ENGINE SERVICE MANUAL.
Automatic Start
CONTROL PANEL
AUTOMATIC POSITION-ENGINE CRANKS
With engine control switch (ACS) in the AUTO position, contacts (10) and (9) are closed. When commercial (normal) power has a failure, remote start initiating contact (I) closes. This makes a complete circuit from battery (BATT) to energize run relay (RR) and magnetic switch (MS).
When run relay (RR) is energized, contacts (RR2) open and contacts (RR1) close. (RR2) open prevents current flow to shutoff solenoid (SS) through pressure switch (PSW). (RR1) closed energizes dual speed switch (DSS) and overcrank timer (OCT).
When dual speed switch (DSS) is energized, a magnetic pickup relays engine rpm to the switch. The dual speed switch has a crank terminate (CTS) circuit and an overspeed (OSS) circuit.
When overcrank timer (OCT) is energized, a timer will start. After the engine cranks for approximately 30 seconds the timer will stop. (OCT) contacts will close. Make reference to ENGINE DOES NOT START.
When magnetic switch (MS) is energized, (MS) contacts close and pinion solenoid (PS) is energized. This causes (PS) contacts to close, starting motor (SM) will crank the engine. (PSW) will close. This energizes water temperature gauge (WTG) and oil pressure gauge (OPG).
Manual Start
The current flow for manual start is similar to automatic start except engine control switch (ACS) is turned to the MAN position. Contact (10) is open and contact (11) is closed. It is not necessary for remote start indicating contact (I) to close. Run relay (RR) and magnetic switch (MS) will energize as soon as contact (11) is closed.
Engine Starts
At 600 rpm, crank terminate switch (CTS) closes. Oil pressure increases. This activates oil pressure switch (OPS). The normally closed contact opens and the normally open contact closes. The arming relay (AR) is now connected across battery voltage. Contacts (AR1) close and lock in the arming relay. Contacts (AR2) open. This de-energizes magnetic switch (MS). (MS) contacts open to de-energize pinion solenoid (PS). (PS) contacts open to de-energize starting motor. Contacts (AR3) open to de-energize overcrank timer (OCT).
CONTROL PANEL
AUTOMATIC POSITION-ENGINE STARTS
Engine Does Not Start
If the engine does not start in approximately 30 seconds, overcrank timer (OCT) will let current flow to overcrank indicating relay (OCIR). (OCIR) contacts close to lock in the (OCIR) relay and close shutdown relay (SR).
(SR) contacts open. This de-energizes run relay (RR) and magnetic switch (MS).
When run relay (RR) is de-energized, contacts (RR2) close and contacts (RR1) open. (RR2) closed completes a circuit to shutoff solenoid (SS) until pressure switch (PSW) opens. (RR1) open de-energizes arming relay (AR), dual speed switch (DSS) and overcrank timer (OCT).
NOTE: Pressure switch (PSW) is not always closed when the engine cranks. Pressure caused by starting motor rotation of the engine is not always enough to close (PSW).
When magnetic switch (MS) is de-energized, (MS) contacts open. This de-energizes pinion solenoid (PS). (PS) contacts open and de-energize starting motor (SM).
Overcrank indicating relay (OCIR) will give light. To start the engine, do the steps that follow:
1. Turn engine control switch (ACS) to OFF/RESET. This will open (ACS) contact (15) and de-energize overcrank indicating relay (OCIR). (OCIR) contacts will open and de-energize the shutoff relay (SR).
2. Turn the engine control switch to MANUAL or AUTO if I contact is closed. If the engine does not start in approximately 30 seconds, the overcrank indicating relay will give light.
3. Turn engine control switch (ACS) to STOP position. Observe fault lights and turn ACS to OFF/RESET. Correct the problem that caused the engine not to start. Make reference to TROUBLESHOOTING.
CONTROL PANEL
AUTOMATIC POSITION-ENGINE DOES NOT START
Return of Commercial (Normal) Power
When commercial power returns, the automatic transfer switch transfers the load to commercial power. Remote start initiating contacts (I) open. This de-energizes run relay (RR).
When run relay (RR) is de-energized, contacts (RR2) close and contacts (RR1) open. (RR2) closed completes a circuit to shut-off solenoid (SS). The shut-off solenoid moves the rack to the fuel OFF position. After the engine stops (PSW) will open to de-energize the shut-off solenoid. (RR1) open de-energizes arming relay (AR) and dual speed switch (DSS).
Diode (D1) is in the shut-off solenoid circuit to help prevent electrical sparks (arcing), at the shut-off solenoid contacts, when the shut-off solenoid is de-energized.
CONTROL PANEL
AUTOMATIC POSITION-AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN
Manual Shutdown
When engine control switch (ACS) is turned to the STOP position or OFF/RESET position, contacts (10 and 11) are open. With contacts (10 and 11) open, the run relay (RR) de-energizes. In addition, the STOP position closes contacts (5 and 8). This provides another path to the shutoff solenoid (SS).
When run relay (RR) is de-energized, contact (RR2) closes and contact (RR1) opens. With (RR2) closed, it completes a circuit to the shut-off solenoid (SS). If the STOP position is used, closed contact (RR2) completes a parallel circuit to shutoff solenoid (SS). (This parallel circuit is necessary to stop the engine when the engine control switch is in the AUTO or MAN position.) After the engine stops, (PSW) will open to de-energize the shutoff solenoid. With contact (RR1) open, the arming relay (AR) and the dual speed switch (DSS) are de-energized.
Diode D1 helps prevent electrical sparks (arcing) at the contacts in the shutoff solenoid circuit when the shutoff solenoid is de-energized.

Conditions (1, 2 or 3) will energize its respective indicating relay. The number (2) contacts of the respective relay will close to energize shut-off relay (SR). The number (1) contacts of the respective relay will close to lock in the relay.
When shutdown relay (SR) is energized, (SR) contacts open. This de-energizes run relay (RR). Contacts (RR2) close and contacts (RR1) open. (RR2) closed completes a circuit to shut-off solenoid (SS) until pressure switch (PSW) opens. (RR1) open de-energizes arming relay (AR) and dual speed switch (DSS).
Diode (D1) helps prevent electrical sparks (arcing) at the contacts in the shut-off solenoid circuit, when the shut-off solenoid is de-energized.
Indicating relay for the fault condition will give light. To start the engine, do the steps that follow.
1. Turn engine control switch (ACS) to OFF or STOP.
NOTE: For start up when (OCIR) indicating relay gives light, make reference to ENGINE DOES NOT START.
2. Correct the problem that caused the engine to shutdown.
3. Rotate ACS to OFF/RESET position. This de-energizes the indicating relay. The indicating relay contacts will open and de-energize the shutdown relay (SR).
NOTE: Reset oil pressure or overspeed switch if necessary. The system is ready to start if engine control switch (ACS) is turned to MAN or AUTO.

ACA Alternating Current Ammeter
AC ammeter (ACA) gives an indication, in amperes, of the current from each phase of the generator to the load. Ammeter/voltmeter selector switch (AVS) is used to connect the ammeter to the current transformer on phase T1, T2 or T3; see Contact Chart. Ammeters normally have an input range from 0 to 5 amperes. Current transformer (CT1, CT2 or CT3) causes a reduction of the actual line current, in its respective phase lead, to a level within the input range of the ammeter. The ammeter is calibrated (has marks) to give an indication of the actual current flow in one phase load of the generator.
NOTE: Several methods have been used to connect control panel instruments. The recommended method is shown in the diagrams.

To stop the engine move the switch to the STOP or OFF/RESET position. For standby application (engine starts when remote initiating contact I closes), move the switch to the AUTO position. To start after engine shutdown caused by high water temperature, low oil pressure or overspeed, turn switch to STOP position and correct fault. Then move switch to OFF/RESET position. Engine can now be started in MANUAL or AUTO position. For more information on the operation of this switch, make reference to the AUTOMATIC START/STOP SYSTEM.
NOTE: X gives an indication of a closed contact, X on the line gives an indication of "make before break."

Automatic Start/Stop System
Introduction
The automatic start/stop system is normally used for standby operation. That is, without an operator. The generator set must start, pick up the load, operate the load, and stop after the load is removed. An automatic transfer switch controls the transfer of load to and from the generator set. When normal (commercial) power has a failure, initiating contactor (I), part of the automatic transfer switch, closes. This will begin the automatic start sequence. When the engine starts, the control panel instruments will show voltage and frequency. The automatic transfer switch will transfer the load to the generator set when voltage and frequency reach approximately rated value. When normal power returns, the automatic transfer switch will transfer the load back to normal power. Initiating contactor (I) will open. This will begin the automatic stop sequence. The generator set will also stop automatically if the engine has a failure.
The packaged generator set has shutdown sensors, shutdown indicators and shutdown circuit for the conditions that follow.
- 1. Low oil pressure
- 2. High water temperature
- 3. Overspeed
- 4. Overcrank
- 2. High water temperature
NOTE: For specifications on components located on the engine, make reference to the ENGINE SERVICE MANUAL.
Automatic Start
With engine control switch (ACS) in the AUTO position, contacts (10) and (9) are closed. When commercial (normal) power has a failure, remote start initiating contact (I) closes. This makes a complete circuit from battery (BATT) to energize run relay (RR) through normally closed contacts of the four engine fault relays (OPR), (WTRI), (OSRI), (OCR).
When run relay (RR) is energized, contact (RR2) opens and contact (RR1) closes. (RR2) open prevents current flow to shutoff solenoid (SS). (RR1) closed energizes the (MS) through a normally closed (AR2) contact. At the same time power is applied to the overcrank timer (OCT). A magnetic pickup relays engine rpm to the dual speed switch (DDS). The dual speed switch has a crank terminate (CTS) circuit and an overspeed (OSS) circuit.
When overcrank timer (OCT) is energized, a timer will start. After the engine cranks for approximately 30 seconds the timer will stop. (OCT) contacts will open. Make reference to ENGINE DOES NOT START.
When magnetic switch (MS) is energized, (MS) contacts close and pinion solenoid (PS) is energized. This causes (PS) contacts to close, starting motor (SM) will crank the engine.
Manual Start
The current flow for manual start is similar to automatic start except engine control switch (ACS) is turned to the MAN position. Contact (10) is open and contact (11) is closed. It is not necessary for remote start indicating contact (I) to close. Run relay (RR) and magnetic switch (MS) will energize the same as with Automatic Start.
CONTROL PANEL AUTO POSITION (ENGINE CRANKS)
Engine Starts
At 600 rpm, crank terminate switch (CTS) closes. This energizes the arming relay (AR). Contact (AR2) opens which disconnects the circuit to (MS) and the overcrank timer (OCT). The contact (AR1) closes to lock in the (AR) relay. Contact (AR3) closes to turn on the water temperature and oil pressure gauges.
At this same time, the (CTS) contact arms the time delay relay (TDR). The TDR has a fixed 9 second delay to allow for oil pressure build up. When oil pressure comes up, it actuates the oil pressure switch (OPS). The (OPS) contact clears the failure circuit and closes the (TDR) timer bypass contact.
When the TDR contact closes, it energizes the time delay auxiliary (TDX). The TDX arms the oil pressure failure circuit along with the shut-off solenoid (SS) and the optional air shut-off solenoid (ASO).
CONTROL PANEL AUTO POSITION (ENGINE STARTS)
Engine Does Not Start
If the engine does not start in approximately 30 seconds, overcrank timer (OCT) will let current flow to overcrank indicating relay (OCR). Contact (OCR2) closes to lock in the (OCR) relay and contact (OCR1) opens to open the RR relay circuit. This de-energizes run relay (RR) and magnetic switch (MS).
When run relay (RR) is de-energized, contact (RR2) closes and contact (RR1) opens. Contact (RR2) closed completes a circuit to shutoff solenoid (SS) until TDX opens.
NOTE: TDR contact closes after 9 seconds into the 30 second cranking cycle. The TDX relay in turn energizes. This causes the TDX contacts to close. The TDX contacts will remain closed for 70 seconds after the end of the 30 second cranking cycle.
Contact (RR1) open de-energizes arming relay (AR), and overcrank timer (OCT).
When magnetic switch (MS) is de-energized, (MS) contacts open. This de-energizes pinion solenoid (PS). (PS) contacts open and de-energize starting motor (SM).
Overcrank indicating relaying (OCR) will give light. To start the engine, do the steps that follow:
1. Turn engine control switch (ACS) to OFF/RESET. This will open (ACS) contact (IS) and de-energize overcrank indicating relay (OCR). Contact OCR1 will close so that the run relay (RR) can be energized.
2. Turn the engine control switch to MANUAL or AUTO if I contact is closed. If the engine does not start in approximately 30 seconds, the overcrank indicating relay will give light.
3. Turn engine control switch (ACS) to STOP position. Observe fault lights and turn ACS to OFF/RESET. Correct the problem that caused the engine not to start. Make reference to TROUBLESHOOTING.
NOTE: If the engine can not be started or stopped with the panel controls, check the condition of circuit breaker (CB2). (There is no visual indication of its condition). Press to reset.
CONTROL PANEL AUTOMATIC POSITION (ENGINE DOES NOT START)
Return of Commercial (Normal) Power
When commercial power returns, the automatic transfer switch transfers the load to commercial power. Remote start initiating contacts (I) open. This de-energizes run relay (RR).
When run relay (RR) is de-energized, contacts (RR2) close and contacts (RR1) open. (RR2) closed completes a circuit to shut-off solenoid (SS). The shut-off solenoid moves the rack to the fuel OFF position. (RR1) opens to de-energize the arming relay (AR).
After the engine stops, (TDX) contact will open to de-energize the shut-off solenoid.
NOTE: TDX is operated by the TDR time delay relay. It has a fixed delay on drop out of 70 seconds. This means, the shut-off solenoid will remain energized for 70 seconds each time the unit is shutdown.
Diode (D1) is in the shut-off solenoid circuit to help prevent electrical sparks (arcing), at the shut-off solenoid contacts, when the shut-off solenoid is de-energized.
CONTROL PANEL AUTOMATIC POSITION (AUTO SHUTDOWN)
Manual Shutdown
When engine control switch (ACS) is turned to the STOP position or OFF/RESET position, contacts (10 and 11) are open. With contacts (10 and 11) open, the run relay (RR) de-energizes.
When run relay (RR) is de-energized, contact (RR2) closes and contact (RR1) opens. With (RR2) closed, it completes a circuit to the shut-off solenoid (SS). With contact (RR1) open, the arming relay (AR) is de-energized.
After the engine stops, (TDX) will open to de-energize the shutoff solenoid.
NOTE: TDX will remain closed for 70 seconds after the engine oil pressure switch (OPS) has gone to its normally closed position.
Diode D1 helps prevent electrical sparks (arcing) at the contacts in the shutoff solenoid circuit when the shutoff solenoid is de-energized.
NOTE: The shutdown solenoid (SS) is protected against overload by a circuit breaker (CB1). If the engine does not shut down when the ACS is turned to STOP, check the condition of CB1. Press to reset. [Button does not pop out when breaker is tripped].
CONTROL PANEL STOP POSITION (MANUAL SHUTDOWN)
Engine Shutdown Caused by Water Temperature Failure
When engine coolant temperature becomes too high, the normally open water temperature switch (WTS) closes. This, in turn, energizes the water temperature relay (WTR). Contact (WTR1) closes to lock in the relay (WTR).
The normally closed contact (WTR2) opens. This de-energizes run relay (RR). Contact (RR2) closes and contact (RR1) opens. (RR2) closed completes a circuit to shut-off solenoid (SS) until (TDX) opens (70 seconds after OPS opens). (RR1) open de-energizes the arming relay (AR).
Diode (D1) helps prevent electrical sparks (arcing) at the contacts in the shut-off solenoid circuit, when the shut-off solenoid is de-energized.
The water temperature indicating relay (WTR) will light. To start the engine, do the steps that follow:
1. Turn engine control switch (ACS) to OFF or STOP.
NOTE: For start-up when (OCR) indicating relay gives light, make reference to topic ENGINE DOES NOT START.
2. Correct the high water temperature problem.
3. Rotate ACS to OFF/RESET position. This de-energizes the (WTR). Contact (WTR1) will close to energize the run relay coil. Contact (WTR2) will open to de-energize the shutdown solenoid.
4. The system is ready to start if engine control switch (ACS) is turned to MAN or AUTO.
CONTROL PANEL SHUTDOWN (HIGH WATER TEMPERATURE)
Engine Shutdown Caused by Oil Pressure Failure
Because crank termination is the job of the speed switch (C.T.S.), a time delay relay (TDR) and time delay auxiliary (TDX) is required for oil pressure build-up after start-up.
When the engine is started and C.T.S. (crank termination switch) closes (at 600 rpm), the arming relay (AR) is energized. Contact (AR2) opens to de-energize the starting motor. Contact (AR1) closes to lock-in the (AR) relay. At this same time, (TDR) begins a 9 second delay. If oil pressure comes up and (OPS) goes to the N.O. position, the 9 second delay is bypassed and (TDX) will be energized immediately. At this time, the oil pressure failure circuit is armed thru the (TDX) contact.
NOTE: The shutdown and air shut-off circuits are also armed by TDX.
If a loss of oil pressure occurs, the oil pressure switch (OPS) will close. This causes (OPR) to energize through the contact TDX and diode D1. Then (OPR1) contact opens to de-energize the run relay (RR) circuit. Contact (OPR2) closes to lock-in the relay (OPR) thru the OFF/RESET switch.
The engine will shut down when the normally closed (RR2) contact closes to energize the shutdown solenoid (SS).
If the engine should accidentally be started without oil in the crankcase, it will shutdown after the 9 second delay.
The time delay relay (TDR) also provides a 70 second delay before opening the shutdown and air shut-off solenoids after the engine stops.
CONTROL PANEL OIL PRESSURE FAILURE SHUTDOWN
Shutdown Caused By Overspeed
When the engine is shutdown due to an overspeed condition, the overspeed relay (OSR) is energized and locked in by the overspeed switch (OSS) contact of the dual speed switch (DSS).
The normally closed contact (OSR2) opens to de-energize the run relay (RR). The normally open contact (OSR1) closes to complete a circuit through the closed (TDX1) contact. This energizes the optional air shutoff solenoid (ASO).
Closed contacts (RR2) and (TDX2) will energize the shutdown solenoid (SS). As soon as the oil pressure switch (OPS) starts to close, (TDR) starts a time delay for 70 seconds. After 70 seconds, the (TDR) contact opens and de-energizes relay (TDX). Then all (TDX) contacts open.
To reset the overspeed fault relay, rotate the (ACS) to OFF/RESET. This will de-energize the dual speed switch and permit the OSS contact to open.
Before restarting, check for possible causes of the overspeed.
NOTE: The shutdown solenoid and air shut-off solenoid are each protected with thermal type circuit breakers. If either solenoid does not energize to shutdown, check breaker condition by pressing button to reset.

NOTE B: Terminal (37) can be connected to a remove low lubrication oil pressure indicator installed by the customer.
NOTE C: Type 5 Control Panel requires diodes to sound an alarm on overspeed and overcrank conditions.
PREALARM MODULE (PAM)
The prealarm module fits the requirements in National Fire Protection Association-76A paragraph 631. It fits in the right side of the control panel. The purpose of the prealarm module is to give a warning of conditions that can become a problem before they are serious enough to keep the engine from starting or running. The prealarm module activates its warning system for the following conditions:
When the engine has one of these conditions, the switch which measures it closes. This closes the circuit to the indicator in the control panel for that condition. The indicators are circuit breakers of the push button type. When the circuit breaker first gets the current from the switch, it is in its normally closed position. The circuit is closed to the warning auxiliary relay (WAR) which activates and closes its own hold in circuit and the circuit to the alarm (ALM) which is a warning horn. The circuit breaker activates and opens the circuit to the warning alarm relay (WAR) and closes the circuit to the preliminary alarm light (PAL). This makes the preliminary alarm light (PAL) operate. The preliminary alarm light (PAL) and the alarm (ALM) operate until they are manually disconnected by the operator. The alarm silence push button (PB), when pushed by the operator, closes the circuit to the alarm disconnect relay (ADR). It activates and closes its own hold in circuit. At the same time, it opens the circuit to the alarm (ALM) and to warning alarm relay (WAR). When the circuit to the warning alarm relay (WAR) opens, its contacts move to their normal positions. This disconnects the alarm disconnect relay (ADR). When the operator pushes the push button for the circuit breaker, it disconnects the preliminary alarm light (PAL).
NOTE: If the engine still has the same conditions, the alarm system activates again when the tush button for the circuit breaker is pushed.
The circuit which is between the indicator for low oil pressure in the engine (LOW LUBE PRESSURE PREALARM) and the oil pressure switch-preliminary (OPP) is open until the run relay (RR) contacts and the oil pressure timer (OPT) contacts are closed. The run relay (RR) closes its contacts when the signal to start the engine is felt. The oil pressure timer (OPT) starts to operate at the same time. After approximately 90 seconds, the oil pressure timer (OPT) closes it contacts. The oil pressure switch preliminary (OPP) opens at approximately 19 psi (130 kPa) when the pressure is increasing. It closes at approximately 15 psi (105 kPa) when the pressure is decreasing. If the oil pressure switch-preliminary (OPP) is closed for any reason, it now causes the circuit breaker for the LOW LUBE PRESSURE PREALARM to activate. The alarm system activates normally from this point.
When the engine has a normal shutdown, the circuit to run relay (RR) is disconnected. Run relay (RR) contacts go to the normally open position in the oil pressure circuit. This keeps the oil pressure switch-preliminary (OPP) from activating the low oil pressure indicator (LOI) when the oil pressure decreases because of normal engine shutdown.
The alarm (ALM) in the prealarm module operates when the automatic start-stop system causes shutdown of the engine because of an engine problem. When the shutdown relay (SR) is activated by one of the switches in the automatic start-stop system, some of the contacts close a circuit through terminal 39 which activates the warning alarm relay (WAR). This causes alarm (ALM) to operate. (See Note C.)
NOTE: This does not cause the preliminary alarm light (PAL) to operate.
The alarm silence push button (PB) must be manually operated to stop the operation of the alarm (ALM).
Cycle Cranking Module
NOTE: Jumper between TB2-4 and 4a must be removed when the cycle cranking module is used.
WIRING DIAGRAM
The cycle cranking module (CCM) has a cycle cranking relay (CCT) and a cycle crank logic timer (CRC). The cycle crank relay (CCT) controls the circuit to the magnetic switch (MS) which controls the circuit to the starting motor (SM). The cycle crank logic timer (CRC) controls the cycle crank relay (CCT). The overcrank timer (OCT) controls the time that the cycle crank module (CCM) is activated.
The cycle crank logic timer (CRC) has a CRANK POT (P1) and a REST POT (P2). When the cycle cranking module (CCM) is activated, the cycle crank relay (CCT) is in its normally closed condition. The starting motor activates. At the same time the cycle crank logic timer (CRC) starts to measure the time electronically. The time for operation of the starting motor is controlled by the adjustment of CRANK POT (P1). When the time is done, the cycle crank logic timer (CRC) activates the cycle crank relay (CCT). The cycle crank relay (CCT) opens the circuit that controls the starting motor (SM). At the same time the cycle crank logic timer (CRC) starts to measure the time, according to the adjustment of REST POT (P2). When the time is done, the cycle crank logic timer (CRC) opens the circuit to the cycle crank relay (CCT) and starts to measure time according to CRANK POT (P1) again. The CRANK POT (P1) and REST POT (P2) are each adjusted to 10 seconds at the factory. This series of cycles does not stop until the circuit, which activates the cycle cranking module (CCM), is opened by the shutoff relay (SR) or arming relay (AR).
CYCLE CRANKING MODULE
CCT CYCLE CRANK RELAY
CRC CYCLE CRANK LOGIC TIMER
The overcrank timer (OCT) is adjusted to activate the shutdown relay after a total of 90 seconds when the cycle cranking module (CCM) is installed. When the engine starts the overcrank timer (OCT) and cycle cranking module (CCM) are disconnected by the arming relay (AR).
Heat Switch
NOTE: Available on Type 2, Type 3 and Type 4 control panels.
Heat switch (HS) is used on generator sets equipped with glow plugs. When the heat switch is held closed, magnetic switch (MSG) is energized. This closes magnetic switch contacts and glow plugs (GP) heat the precombustion chambers to aid cold weather starting. When the heat switch is released, the magnetic switch is de-energized and current flow to the glow plugs stops.
NOTICE |
---|
Do not energize the glow plugs when the engine is warm. |
Ammeter
NOTE: Available on all control panels.
Ammeter (A) is a DC ammeter used to show the rate of charge or discharge in the alternator circuit. The purpose of the optional alternator circuit is to charge batteries (BATT).
Governor Switch
NOTE: Available on all control panels.
When the engine governor is equipped with a synchronizing motor, governor switch (GS) is used to change engine rpm. Move the switch up to increase rpm, down to decrease rpm.
Auxiliary Relay Module
NOTE: Available on all control panels.
Auxiliary relay module (ARX) is in a parallel circuit with arming relay (AR). The (ARX) coil is energized during engine operation. The auxiliary relay module has both normally open and normally closed contacts. They are available for use as desired by the customer.
AUXILIARY RELAY MODULE (ARX)
Synchronizing Lights Module
NOTE: Available for Type 3 and 4 control panels. This module is located in the same place as prealarm module (PAM).
1. Terminal L3.
2. Terminal T1.
3. Terminal L1.
4. Terminal T3.
BACK OF SYNCHRONIZING LIGHTS MODULE
Terminal T1 (2) connects to a terminal of phase 1 on the generator side of the circuit breaker.
Terminal T3 (4) connects to a terminal of phase 3 on the generator side of the circuit breaker.
Terminal L3 (1) connects to the terminal of phase 3 on the load side of the circuit breaker.
Terminal L1 (3) connects to terminal of phase 1 on the load side of the circuit breaker.
NOTE: IF the synchronizing lights rapidly go ON and OFF, when the engine is running, do not close the circuit breaker. Check for one of the conditions that follow.
Engine speed (frequency) not the same as the load.
Voltage level not the same as the load.
Wires from the synchronizing lights module not correctly connected to the phase terminals on the circuit breaker.
If each light goes ON and OFF, but not at the same time, the phase rotation of the generator is opposite to the phase rotation of the load.
NOTICE |
---|
Never close the circuit breaker with either synchronizing light ON or with switch OFF. |
Remote Annunciator Panel
NOTE: Available for all control panels.
If ordered, an annunciator panel is available for installation in an area where the safety indicators on the generator set can be constantly checked. Horn (H) and one of the panel lights (L1 through L4) operate for the following conditions: a safety shutdown caused by low oil pressure, high water temperature, overspeed or overcrank. The horn and a light will also operate to show conditions of low fuel level or low water temperature. The low fuel level light (L5) operates when the fuel supply is only enough to keep the engine running for three hours. The low water temperature light (L6) operates when the water temperature is below 70°F (21°C). This condition shows that the jacket water heater (attachment) is either disconnected or has a failure.
ANNUNCIATOR PANEL
The annunciator panel is also equipped with two lights (L8 and L9) to show high or low battery voltage. The high voltage light (L8) operates when the battery voltage is approximately 29 volts. The low voltage light (L9) operates when the battery voltage is approximately 25 volts. The horn does not operate for a high or low voltage condition. A generating light (L7) is connected to terminal point 38 on the terminal strip in the generator housing. An auxiliary contact (normally open) on the emergency side of the remote transfer switch is connected between terminal point 38 and terminal point 30 on the same terminal strip. When the transfer switch has connected the load to the generator set and the generator is operating, light (L7) will also operate.
To stop the horn from operating, push alarm silence switch (S1). This "turns off" the silicon control rectifier (SCR1). To test the condition of the panel lights, push lamp test switch (S2).
