INSTALLATION
2.5.3.3
Installation of the exhaust
Before determining the location of the generator set one has to
consider how to get away with 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 a nasty smell. 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 calm conditions a light
smell of exhaust fumes around the vehicle is hardly 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, care should be taken that the heat
conducted through the brackets will not affect the rubber.
Figure 21 shows how to mount the rubber in a safe way. When
any doubt an extra safeguard could be constructed from steel
wire or chain.

Electrical installation (12 Volt)
2.5.4.1
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 from the generating set to the control panel
has been prepared prior to dispatch from the factory. The
engine is controlled by a very advanced microprocessor based
system: Digital Diesel Control.
The "black box" containing the microprocessor is located on top
of the alternator.
A local control panel is on the generating set.
Remote control
A remote control panel also containing a microprocessor is in
the delivery. A 15 m intermediate 8-pole communication cable
is in the standard supply as well (Figure 22). If necessary an
optional longer (up to 30m / 100ft) intermediate cable can be
connected if the standard length does not suit the required
distance. When a longer distance than 30m / 100ft is required,
consult the WhisperPower service department for advice.

One can mount the control panel after drilling a hole in the
dashboard using the plastic cover. Refer to the dimensional
drawings in chapter 4.
