unlimited excitation for maximum motor starting capability.
■ Automatic voltage regulator (AVR) provides precise
regulation.
■ Electronic governor system maintains frequency to
±0.25%.
■ Full load acceptance of standby nameplate rating in
one step (NFPA 110, para 5-13.2.6).
■ Sound attenuated, weather resistant, steel housing
provides operation at 71 dB(A) at 23 feet. Fully lockable
enclosure allows safe unattended operation.
■ Internal fuel tank with direct reading fuel gauges are
standard.

■ Complete engine analog instrumentation includes DC
ammeter, oil pressure gauge, water temp. gauge, fuel level
gauge, tachometer/hour meter, manual engine speed
control, and emergency shutdown monitors.
■ Complete generator analog instrumentation includes
voltage regulator control, ammeter phase selector switch,
voltmeter phase selector switch, AC voltmeter, AC
ammeter, frequency meter, panel light, and circuit breaker.
