Generator Control Panels

Anyone who depends on a generator for emergency power understands that the generator is only as good as its control unit. The control unit must be dependable when switching from utility to standby power. We understand this and have designed control units with the user in mind. Our Microprocessor-based Control systems provide a versatile system for gen-set control, protection, and monitoring. The panel's back-lit LCD display provides readout of all critical information with digital accuracy - assuring complete engine protection. The microprocessor design allows customization of the controller's functions to fit virtually every application's needs.

Analog Control Panel

Our Analog Control Panels are built for dependability and ruggedness, with large analog gauges that enable the user to monitor load and other functions at a glance. Our Analog control panel will automatically start and monitor engine conditions in order to protect your investment.

The three large analog gauges, at the top of the unit, display the generator output in voltage, the speed of the generator set in Hertz, and the percentage of load on the generator.

The Control Toggle Switch enables the user to switch the generator from off to the manual or auto position.

The Running Time Meter displays the number of hours the generator set has run.

The ECU provides complete automation and safety monitoring of the engine. It controls the starter and fuel. A built in speed switch controls both starter disengagement and overspeed protection. The ECU automatically cranks, runs, and monitors the engine for overcrank, overspeed, high water temperature and low oil pressure.

DGC-500 Digital Generator Set Controller

The DGC-500 digital gen-set controller offers microprocessor based integrated control and monitoring. Control includes engine starting and shutdown as well as system monitoring and remote annunciation. It monitors and displays eight engine and generator parameters on the front panel and up to a total of 18 parameters via the front panel scrolling feature. The DGC-500 offers one of the most flexible designs possible. It has user-definable alarms, pre-alarms, timers, cranking, sender inputs, and programmable inputs and outputs.
