CONTROL
PANELS
MAIN
PANEL
This manually-controlled
WESTERBEKE
diesel generator is
equipped with toggle switches on the engine's control panel
and, optionally.
at
a remote panel. All three switches arc
momentary contact type and serve the
following functions:
1.
PREHEAT:
The
PREHEAT toggle switch
is
a double-pole,
single-throw switch.
The
switch serves two purposes: pre-
heating the engine for easy starting and defeating
or
bypa<;s-
ing the engine's protective oil pressure switch. The defeat
function activates the fuel solenoid, instrument power, alter-
nator excitation, electronic governor and provides power to
the START switch.
2.
START:
The
START toggle switch is a douhle-pole, single-
throw switch.
The
switch, when activated, energizes the
starter solenoid for starting the engine.
This switch will
flot
operate electrically unless the PREH EAT switch is depressed
and held at the
same
time.
3.
STOP:
The
STOP toggle switch is a single-pole, single-
throw, normally closed switch. This switch provides power to
the fuel solenoid, and the instrument cluster, after the oil
pressure switch has closed upon engine starting.
Opening
of
this switch
opens
the power circuit to the fuel solenoid,
thereby stopping the fuel flow to the injection pump and
stopping the engine.

NOTE:
When the engine is shut down, the water temperature
gauge and the oil pressure gauge will continue to register the
last temperature and oil pressure readings displayed. They
will return
to
zero once electrical power is restored.
4.
EMERGENCY
STOP:
The EMERGENCY stop switch at the
rear
of
the control hox
is
normally closed. When depressed,
it
will open the DC circuit to the control panel and shut the
engine down.
As
the
switch is not toggled
it
can be used
when performing maintenance.
REMOTE
START/STOP
PANEL
For remote operation
of
the generator system, the same three
switches are used. The PREHEAT and START switches arc
connected
in
parallel with the gauge panel's switches and
serve the same functions as
in
the gauge pane!. The STOP
switch is
in
series with
the
gauge panel's STOP switch and
serves the same function.
