Technical data

REMOTE ENGINE OPERATION:
For remote operation of the generator system, the same three switches are used. The PREHEAT and
START switches are connected in parallel with the local panel switches and serve the same functions as
in the local panel. The STOP switch is in series with the local panel STOP switch, and serves the same
functions as in the local panel. The generator may be stopped from local or remote positions.
AC GENERATORS:
Once the diesel generator sets have been placed in operation, there is little or no control adjustment
required by the A.C. Generator. When starting the generator, it is always a good plan to switch off all
A.C. loads, especially large motors, until the engine has come up to speed and, in cold climates, starts to
warm up. These precautions will prevent damage by unanticipated operation of A.C. machinery and
prevent a cold engine from being stalled.
OVERSPEED (If equipped with this option):
If the engine governor loses control and the engine speed accelerates, a relay is actuated that
de-energizes the fuel solenoid and stops the engine. A red light on the panel illuminates and remains
lighted. To extinguish the light, reset the overspeed relay by depressing the engine STOP switch. When
the reason for the overspeed shutdown is corrected, the engine is ready to be restarted.
