INSTALLATION OF THE EXHAUST
Before determining the location of the generator set one has
to consider proper guiding of the exhaust. Often one can
find space below the vehicle between the chassis to mount
the mufflers. The outlet should blow the fumes away from
the doors to avoid exhaust fumes going into the
compartment. When the gasses are in the flow of air
blowing from the radiators this will help to avoid the fumes
to be noticed. Under no condition the fumes should be
sucked into the flow of air into the radiators. In wind still
conditions a light smell of exhaust fumes around the vehicle
will not be avoidable.
To bring the exhaust to the top of the vehicle gives the best
results on noise and smell. However, when the pipes go
through the vehicle they should be insulated and around the
hole in the roof should be a collar to prevent rainwater to
leak in. Both mufflers could be on the roof or one of them or
both could be below the vehicle.
In general, it is better to have the mufflers wide apart: the
resonance muffler close to the generator and the absorption
muffler on the end of the line. A short pipe (30cm) should
be on the far end after the absorption muffler. The
absorption muffler has no flow direction and could be
mounted both ways. The resonance muffler should be
mounted according to the indication on the muffler itself.
The resonance muffler should be fitted
according to direction of the gas flow
indicated.
In the kit are clamps to mount the exhaust pipes to stainless
steel bars. These bars should be mounted to the chassis of
the vehicle. It is recommended to use rubber mountings
whenever possible. However take care that the heat
conducted through the brackets will not affect the rubber.
Refer to figure 23 how to mount the rubber in a safe way.
When any doubt an extra safeguard could be constructed
from steel wire or chain.

DIGITAL DIESEL CONTROL SYSTEM
The electrical control system is standard in 12 Volt with
negative earth. Non- earth return is available as an option.
All electrical wiring has been prepared on the generating set
to the control panel prior to dispatch from the factory. The
engine is controlled by a very advanced microprocessor-
based system: Digital Diesel Control.
The "DDC black box" containing the microprocessor is
located in the generator control cabinet.
A local control panel is on the generating set.
Remote control
In order to enable remote start/stop sequences, display
generator information and many other functions the remote-
control panel containing a microprocessor has so be
connected to the generator set. Within the standard delivery
a 15m "straight" data cable is supplied. WhisperPower
advises is not to exceed 30m / 100ft.
