Control Panel - Westerbeke 8.0KW BCDT60Hz Owner's Manual

CONTROL PANEL
DESCRIPTION
This plug-in remote control panel provides the operator with all
the necessary information and controls to use the generator. The
panel has START and STOP buttons, an LED proportional load
indicator, and coolant and oil pressure warning lights.The engine
will shut down automatically if it overheats or there is an oil
pressure failure.
The load indicator is designed to avoid an excessive current draw
from the generator due to too many loads having been applied at
the same time. The indicator will begin to show the load after the
first half of the required current is supplied, and it will indicate
that an acceptable load is being provided up to the point where all
the LED's except the last one are lit (5 green LED's are lit). Ifthe
last LED (red) becomes lit, it indicates an overload. The load that
caused this red LED to light up must be switched off to return the
indicator to a normal position.

The oil pressure/coolant temperature warning light (red) lights up
when either the oil pressure is too low or the engine is overheated.
The engine will shut down if it overheats or there is an oil
pressure failure.
The fuel shutoff solenoid light (yellow) blinks when the START
button is pushed and goes off after the engine starts. If it continues
to blink and the engine doesn't start, it means the starting battery
is too low.
The engine/generator "ON" light (green) will be lit during normal
operation.
NOTE:
If
the engine is not running and the shutoff solenoid
is
energized (yellow LED is blinking), the starting battery
is
supplying unneeded power to the engine. Reset by pushing the
STOP button.
NOTE:
If
the START button
is
pushed by mistake while the engine
is
running, an electrical safoty device protects the starter motor by
preventing its solenoid from energizing.
