2.2 — Protection Systems
The generator may have to run for long periods of time with no operator present to monitor the engine/generator conditions. Therefore, the gen-
erator is equipped with a number of systems to automatically shut down the unit to protect it against potentially damaging conditions. Some of
these systems are as follows:
• Low Oil Pressure Sensor
• High Temperature Sensor
• Overcrank Sensor
• Overspeed Sensor
• RPM Sensor
The control panel contains a display which alerts the operator when a fault condition occurs. The above list is not all inclusive. For more informa-
tion about alarms and control panel operation, see Section 3 Operation.
