11Instrumentation and control requirements#
11.1Automatic shutdown#
Automatic shutdown of the generator and lockout of the starting system shall result from any of the following:
- low lubricating oil pressure
- high cooling water temperature
- over crank
- engine over speed
- high stator temperature.
11.2Control panel#
Where applicable1, the generator control panel shall consist of following:
- visual and audible fault indication and alarm accept/reset
- voltmeter
- ammeter
- frequency meter
- hour run counter
- engine 'start' and 'stop' push button and lock switch
- 'emergency stop' push button
- mains operated battery charger of the constant potential type with MCCB, ammeter
- run indicator lamp
- fault indicator lamp
- audible alarm
- lamp test push buttons, alarm accept and reset buttons
- battery charge indicator.
- lubrication oil pressure indicator
- cooling water temperature indicator
- fuel level in integral fuel tank low.
A microprocessor control panel with Alpha-numerical character digital display is an acceptable alternative to hardwired equipment. The microprocessor control panel shall incorporate all the above mentioned facilities. The microprocessor control panel shall be able to connect to a standard personal computer to download data and information from the module and to programme the Module.
11.3Global positioning system (GPS)#
Where required by the Principal, the generator shall be fitted with an on-board tamper proof GPS receiver. The on board GPS receiver shall monitor the location in three dimensions (Latitude, Longitude and Altitude) of the generator and also synchronise the generator's internal clock. The generator control unit shall provide an alarm if the generator is moved beyond a 30 m radius of its installed position. This may be achieved using a virtual perimeter or "geo-fence".
