Fuel Level Switch (FL)
Three-position float switch that monitors fuel
level in the generator set fuel tank. Controls
auxiliary fuel transfer relay K14 when the
AUX FUEL switch (see item 18) is in ON
position.
When fuel level is below switch FL2B,
auxiliary fuel transfer relay K14 energizes and
activates auxiliary fuel pump E1 to begin fuel
pumping.
When fuel level rises above switch FL2A,
transfer relay opens, deactivating pump.
If fuel drops below switch FL1, fault lockout
relay K12 will open and de-energize governor
control A5 (see item 28), cutting off fuel to
engine. The NO FUEL indicator on fault
indicator module A2 will light (see item 6).
26
Fuel Level Sender (MT5)
Sends generator set fuel tank level data to
FUEL LEVEL meter M5 (see item 2).
27
Lubricating Oil Pressure Switch (OP)
Monitors engine oil pressure. If oil pressure
drops below 15 psi, the switch closes the
circuit to energize fault lockout relay K12 and
shut down engine. The LOW OIL
PRESSURE indicator on fault indicator
module A2 will light (see item 6).
28
Governor Control (A5)
Controls engines mechanical governor to
adjust engine speed.
29
Engine Temperature Switch (HT)
Monitors engine temperature. If engine
temperature rises above 265F (129C), the
switch closes the circuit to energize fault
lockout relay K12 and shut down engine. The
ENGINE HIGH TEMP indicator on fault
indicator module A2 will light (see item 6).
