will only run in the manual mode while the green button is
held in.
To operate the pump in automatic mode, just ensure that
the red pushbutton is in the "ON" position (pulled out). The
pump will start running automatically when the fuel level is
low and will illuminate the green run lamp. When the tank
is full, the pump is turned off and the green lamp is
extinguished.
The red lamp will illuminate if there has been an electrical
overload.
Care must be taken to ensure that the pump is primed with
fuel prior to operation to lubricate the seals. Also, the
pump should never be run when the bulk tanks are empty
or when valves on the fuel fill lines are closed.
4.5.4 Meters/Gauges: The following additional meters or
gauges may be fitted to the control panel:
3 Ammeters mounted on the panel instead of one ammeter
and a selector switch. This allows a continuous indication
of the current flowing in each phase, not applicable for
PowerWizard as module will display all phase currents.
Kilowatt (kW) Meter to provide accurate readings of the
load being supplied by the generating set, not applicable
for PowerWizard as the PowerWizard 2.0 can display
kilowatts.
Combined Tachometer and Frequency Meter to replace
the standard frequency meter. This meter allows both
engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM) and output
frequency to be indicated on the front panel, not applicable
for PowerWizard as module will display RPM and Hz.
Lube Oil Temperature Gauge to monitor the lubricating oil
temperature when the engine is operating. The normal
operating temperature should be approximately 90° - 110°
C (195° - 230°F), not applicable for PowerWizard 2.0 as
the module will display this.
Ammeter for Battery Trickle Charger to monitor the current
flow to the battery. It is used to observe the charging
current being supplied by the battery trickle charger.
When the batteries are fully charged this current will be
small (less than 5 Amps) but with a partially discharged
battery this current may be as high as 40 Amps.
4.5.5 Speed/Voltage Control: Three controls may be
fitted to adjust the speed or voltage of the generating set:
Speed Adjust Potentiometer, a Raise/Lower Switch and a
Voltage Adjust Potentiometer. These should only be
adjusted by a qualified generating set technician according
to instructions in the Technical Manual. For some
electronic engines, speed can be adjusted on the
PowerWizard 2.0 module.
4.5.6 Alarm Signalling: Three options may be fitted to the
control panel to supplement the standard alarm indications
of the alarm lamps:
A panel mounted alarm siren will sound when an alarm
condition is indicated. An Alarm Mute pushbutton is fitted
on the panel to silence the siren.
An audible alarm siren supplied loose will sound when an
alarm condition is indicated. It can be fitted at a
convenient location. An Alarm Mute pushbutton is fitted on
the panel to silence the siren.
A set of volt free contacts for common alarm change over
in the event of an alarm condition. These are for
connection to an existing alarm system. These contacts
remain in the "alarm" state until the control system is reset.
4.5.7 Automatic Preheat Control: glow plugs operates
automatically prior to and during engine cranking. The
automatic cranking sequence will be delayed by the
preheating period.
4.5.8 Remote Annunciator Panels: 8 or 16 channel
remote annunciators may be fitted and connected to 4001
and 4001E Series Control Systems. These provide repeat
indicators for the shutdown and alarm fault lamps on the
control panel. They also include an audible alarm and
alarm mute button.
Two further options may be fitted with the above remote
annunciators: A Normal/Run switch allows manual starting
of the set from the remote location and an Emergency
Stop Pushbutton allows manual stopping.
For PowerWizard 2.0 panels, a 16 channel remote
annunicator may be fitted that has an audible alarm and
alarm mute button.
4.5.9 X100 AMF Upgrade: When the generating set is
installed to automatically provide standby power in the
event of mains failure, a load transfer switch is required.
This switch transfers the load from the mains after a failure
and puts the load on the operating generating set. After the
mains are re-established, the load is transferred back to
the mains.
To accomplish this, one option is to utilise a dedicated TC
Series or ATI Series Load Transfer Panel as discussed in
Section 4.6. However, the X100 option provides this
functionality in the control panel itself, so an independent
transfer switch can be used.
A 2001, 4001 or 4001E Series Panel fitted with the X100
option is often referred to as a 2101, 4101 or 4101E Series
Panel, respectively.
The X100 upgrade adds a status display panel to the
control panel as shown in Figure 4.2. This provides
indication of Mains Available, Mains on Load, Generator
Available and Generator on Load. A test switch is
provided for maintenance.

Figure 4.2: Typical X100 Status Display Panel
The X100 operates as follows:
On mains failure, the generating set is automatically
started and the contactors closed to connect the load to
the generator.
On restoration of mains power, the load is transferred back
to the mains. After a cool down period, the generator set
is automatically shut down.
The Test Switch mounted on the control panel allows
testing of the system for maintenance purposes.
Two additional options may be fitted with X100:
PRM1
Electronic Mains Monitoring Relay - This relay is
essential when an independent load transfer panel is not
fitted with a mains monitoring relay.
PST1
Manual/Auto Retransfer Selector Circuit - This
option, if fitted, enables the operator to manually control
the timing of the retransfer of the load from the generating
set to the restored mains supply. The controls comprise a
Manual/Auto Retransfer Selector Switch and a Retransfer
Button. On a mains failure, the generating set will start
and accept load in the normal sequence. With the
Retransfer Selector Switch in the "AUTO" position the load
will be automatically retransferred back to the mains when
available as described above. If the Retransfer Selector
Switch is in the "MANUAL" position, on restoration of the
mains, the "Mains Available" indicator will illuminate but
