Sender Slope. If a sender requires a positive slope, Positive can be selected to invert the values in the
Resistance column.
Reset Factory Settings. Clicking this button restores the factory-default data points in the Degrees
F/Degrees C column and graph. This does not update the data points in the DGC-500. The DGC-500 is
updated by clicking the Send Cool. Data to DGC button.
Fuel Level Type
This setting, located on the Percent Fuel Level tab, allows the selection of four fuel types: Percent,
Natural Gas, Propane, and Disabled. Selecting a fuel type other than Percent will disable any fuel level
indication, alarm, and pre-alarm and disable the percent fuel level values of the Percent Fuel Level tab.
RUN STATISTICS
The DGC-500 compiles statistics for both individual generator run sessions and the cumulative total of all
generator run sessions. Generator run statistics are displayed on the Run Statistics screen (Figure 4-24),
which is accessed through the menu bar by clicking Events, Run Statistics. Run Statistics screen
indications and controls are described in the following paragraphs.
Start Date. When the DGC-500 and/or genset are commissioned, a date is selected from the pull-down
calendar for the DGC-500 to use as a starting point for tracking generator run statistics. Clicking the
Update DGC Start Date button sends the selected date to the DGC-500.
Session Run Statistics. This area of the Run Statistics screen displays the start date and total running
time for the current run session. The total running hours are additionally split into unloaded running time
and loaded running time.
NOTE
When metric values are used and changes are made to the oil pressure sender
data points, undesirable internal rounding of some data points can occur. For
example, select 700 kilopascals for one data point, create a sender file, and the
value is rounded to 697. Rounding that occurs will never be greater than 4
kilopascals.
