INTRODUCTION
Overview
The three phase generator output display panel is rated for 50/60 Hz generators
from 10 to 135 kW with delta or star windings.
The display module has ultra-brite LEDs that show the generator frequency,
voltage, and current. When the generator is off line the display shows total accumulated
generator hours.
The signal interface module is mounted close to the current sensors and voltage
transformers so that cable runs are short. Current and voltage information is passed to
the display module over a two wire datalink.
Built in safety features include voltage uctuation, current overload and high
temperature warnings.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Components
The three phase generator display consist of the following components:
Display Module
Signal Interface Module
Three (3) Current Sensors
Three (3) Voltage Transformers
Temperature Sensor (Optional)
Audible Alarm Buzzer (Optional)
Cables
Display Module
The display module is waterproof and can be mounted anywhere on the electrical
panel. The display module has a square ange with overall dimensions of 4 1/4" by 4 1/4".
A cutout hole of 3 3/4" in diameter is required.
Signal Interface Module
The signal interface module is waterproof with overall dimensions of 5 7/8" by
3 3/4" by 1 7/8". Clearance for the cables is required. This module is mounted close to the
current sensors and voltage transformers so the cable runs are short. Current and voltage
information is passed to the display module over a two wire datalink.
Current Sensor
The current sensors are used to measure current flow through a wire by
electromagnetic induction. Each phase wire to the main circuit breaker is run through
a current sensor opening (hole); one wire through each current sensor.
Voltage Transformer
The voltage transformers supplied work with 120 or 240 volt AC systems.
The transformers should be securely mounted inside the electrical box.
Temperature Sensor (Optional)
The optional temperature sensor is installed as required.
Audible Alarm Buzzer (Optional)
The optional buzzer is installed as required.
Cables
Refer to the Wiring Section.

VAC VOLTAGE Display
Shows the generator output in volts of the selected line.
AMPS CURRENT Display
Shows the current in amperes of the selected line.
MODE Button
Press to show total generator hours and sensor temperature.
LINE Button
Selects the line from the chart that is shown on the voltage and current displays.

INSTALLATION
Ensure that the generator power rating and the display rating match. Refer to
Programming Section.
Install Display Module
1. Measure and mark mounting location for display module panel cutout and mounting
screw holes. Make sure there is clearance behind the panel for the module and
cables before cutting holes. Refer to Figure 2 for layout and dimensions.
2. Cut out a 3 3/4" mounting hole in panel.
3. Drill four holes, clearance or tapped, for #10 mounting screws.
4. Place display module in position and secure with screws.
5. Connect cable at rear of the display module. (Refer to Wiring Section.)
Install Signal Interface Module
This module is mounted close to the current sensors and voltage transformers
so the cable runs are short. Current and voltage information is passed to the display
module over a two wire datalink.
1. Measure and mark mounting location for control box mounting screw holes.
Make sure there is clearance for the box and cables before drilling. Refer to
Figure 3 for layout and dimensions.
2. Drill four holes, clearance or tapped, for #8 mounting screws.
4. Place box in position and secure with screws.
5. Connect cables at top of the box. (Refer to Wiring Section.)

Install Current Sensor
Three current sensors are supplied. It is best to mount the sensors in the circuit
breaker box. For each phase that is to be monitored, run the wire from the generator
through the current sensor opening (hole) to the input side of the circuit breaker.
(Refer to Wiring Section.)
Install Voltage Transformer
The voltage transformers supplied will work for 120 or 240 volt AC systems. The
transformers should be securely mounted inside the electrical box.
Each transformer will be connect to show line voltage phase and neutral or phase
to phase for star or delta windings of the generator. (Refer to Wiring Section.)
Install Optional Temperature Sensor
The temperature sensor is installed as required. (Refer to Wiring Section.)
Install Optional Buzzer
Install the buzzer close to the control module so the audible warning is easily
associated with the visual warning on the display. The optional buzzer provided by
FRC requires a cutout hole of 1-1/8" (1.125"). (Refer to Wiring Section.)

OPERATION
On power-up the display shows the kW rating and the winding type (delta or star)
for three seconds.
MODE Button
During normal operations the mode button is used to display the accumulated
hours and hydraulic oil temperature if this option is installed.
The rst time the MODE button is pressed, the display shows generator hours.
Generator Operating Time is:
50 hours
Over Current Warning
When the generator is operating outside the range of its rated capacity, the current
display ashes. An optional audible buzzer can also be connected for audio warning.
Voltage Out-Of-Range Warning
If the output voltage (120/240 VAC) is below 80/200 VAC or above 140/270 VAC,
the voltage display ashes. This gives the operator an indication that the generator
output falls outside the safe operating level. There is no audible alarm for the voltage
out of range warning.
Temperature Sensor(Optional )
This warning is activated if the temperature sensor rises above 180 °F. The frequency
readout ashes OIL to warn the operator and the audio alarm is activated.
Pressing the MODE button again switches the display to show sensor temperature.
Hydraulic Oil Temperature is:
150 °
Pressing the MODE button again returns the display to normal operations.
