ADMIRAL
CONTROL
PANEL
DESCRIPTION
This manually-operated control panel is equipped with a
KEY switch and
RPM gauge with an
ELAPSED
TIME
meter which measures the engine's running time
in
hours and
in
1/10 hours. The panel also includes a WATER
TEMPER-
ATURE gauge which indicates
water
temperature in degrees
Fahrenheit, an
OIL PRESSURE gauge which measures the
engine's oil pressure
in
pounds per square inch, and a
DC
control circuit VOLTAGE gauge which measures the sys-
tern's voltage.
All
gauges are illuminated when the key
switch
is
turned
on
and remain illuminated while the engine
is
in
operation. The panel also contains two rubber-booted
pushbuttons, one for
PREHEAT and
one
for START.

When the engine is shut down with the key switch turned
oJ!,
the water temperature gauge will continue to register the last
temperature reading indicated by the gauge before electrical
power was turned
off. The oil pressure gauge will
faJl
to zero
when the key switch is turned
off. The temperature gauge
will once again register the engine's true temperature when
electrical power is
restored to the gauge.
A separate alarm buzzer with harness is supplied with every
Admiral
Panel.
The
installer is responsible for electrically
connecting the buzzer to the four-pin connection on the
engine's electrical harness. The installer is also responsible
for installing the buzzer
in
a location where
it
will
be dry and
where
it
will
be
audible to the operator should
it
sound while
the engine is running. The buzzer
will sound when the igni-
tion key is turned
on
and should silence when the engine has
started and the engine's oil pressure rises above 15 psi.
