Complete engine analog instrumentation includes DC
ammeter, oil pressure gauge, water temp. gauge, fuel level
gauge, tachometer/hour meter, preheat indicator, manual
engine speed control, emergency shutdown monitors, and
emergency stop button.
Complete generator analog instrumentation includes
voltage regulator control, ammeter phase selector switch,
voltmeter phase selector switch, AC voltmeter, AC ammeter,
frequency meter, panel light, and circuit breaker.
Automatic safety shutdown system monitors the water
temperature, engine oil pressure, overspeed, and overcrank.
Warning lights indicate abnormal conditions.
Low coolant level shutdown system provides protection
from critically low coolant levels. Includes control panel
warning light.
Auto start/stop control allows generator to start
automatically in the event of a commercial power failure.
Complete power panel. Fully covered; three-phase
terminals and single phase receptacles allow fast and
convenient hookup for most applications including temporary
power boxes, tools and lighting equipment. All are NEMA
standard.
Emergency stop switch.
Battery switch.
Voltage change over board allows easy to change voltages
as your applications require. 240/480 Buss Bar.
