the chosen failure set point. Choosing a value that is too high would cause
the GSC300 to always fail since the value of the sender would always be
below the chosen failure set point.

Temperature:
The Temperature Switch or Sender option determines how the GSC300 will
recognize a temperature failure condition. In the temperature section of the
“Switch/Sender” window the user is faced with both Switch and Sender
options. If the user chooses the switch option, the GSC will use the value
setting directly from the gauge (see gauge manufactures instructions for
proper value settings). If the user chooses the sender option, the GSC will
use a value that the user specifies from a setpoint table. When choosing the
Sender option, the user must select the type of gauge being used from the
dropdown list. After the gauge type has been selected the user may select a
failure value by simply clicking the “setpoint” features button. The “setpoint”
button will bring up a table with the values to choose from. These values will
be in degrees Fahrenheit. The user is given the option of choosing between
a 0.5 to 6 second time delay for temperature shutdown. After choosing the
value that the GSC will recognize as a failure, click OK from the table
window. Be advised that caution must be taken when choosing a failure
value. Choosing a value that is too low would cause the GSC300 to always
fail since the value of the sender would always be above the chosen failure
set point. Choosing a value that is too high would cause the GSC300 to
never fail since the value of the sender would always be below the chosen
failure set point.
3.
FUEL:
The Fuel Switch or Sender option determines the level of fuel. When
choosing the Sender option, the user must select the type of gauge being
used from the dropdown list. When fuel is choosing as a sender it is used to
indicate the current level of fuel available to the generator. Selecting Sender
in the Fuel section of the “Switch/Sender” window does not require any
settings or values in the standard GSC300. The GSC303 contains the
options to set Low Fuel Shutdown of the engine, Low Fuel Pre-Alarm
condition and a Fuel Overflow condition.
