ADMIRAL
CONTROL
PANEL
DESCRIPTION
This manually-operated control panel is equipped with a
KEY switch and RPM gauge with an ELAPSED
TIME
meter which measures the engine's running time
in
hours and
in
III 0 hours. The panel also includes a WATER TEMPER-
ATURE gauge which indicates water temperature in degrees
Fahrenheit, an
OIL PRESSURE gauge which measures the
engine's oil pressure
in
pounds
per
square inch, and a DC
control circuit VOLTAGE gauge which measures the
sys-
tem's voltage. All gauges are illuminated when the key
switch is turned on and remain illuminated while the engine
is
in
operation. The panel also contains two rubber-booted
pushbuttons, one for PREHEAT and
on,?
for START.

When the engine is shut down with the key switch turned
off,
the water temperature gauge will continue to register the last
temperature reading indicated
by
the gauge before electrical
power was turned
off
The oil pressure gauge will fall to zero
when the key switch is turned
off
The temperature gauge
will once again register the engine's true temperature when
electrical power is restored to the gauge.
A separate alarm buzzer with harness is supplied with every
Admiral Panel. The installer
is
responsible for electrically con-
necting the buzzer to the four-pin connection on the engine's
electrical harness. The installer
is
also responsib,le for installing
the buzzer

key
is
turned

engine's oil pressure rises above
15
