Generator Monitoring Example – Comprehensive System

Overview

This generator comprehensive monitoring system provides information about the generator’s engine (RPM, boost and oil pressure, oil and coolant temperature, voltage, fuel rate, and engine hours depending on the particular engine) and it provides information about the electrical generator (voltage, current, frequency, and power). The 8” touchscreen monitors all the information and sounds the external buzzer if any parameter goes out of range. The data recorder gives a complete record of all monitored parameters with the GPS200 providing reference positions and times.

The following table shows the products included within this example system plus a list of the information or data available for display.

Product Description Available Data List
TSM800C Display 8″ Touchscreen shows data in this list, monitors the data and sounds an external buzzer if there is a problem
ALM100 Alarm Buzzer Sounds a loud buzzer when any monitored data in this list goes outside programmed limit
J2K100 Engine monitor Monitors RPM, boost and oil pressure, oil and coolant temp, voltage, fuel rate, hours, and more depending on the particular engine
ACM100 Shore power monitor Monitors voltage, current, frequency and power
VDR100 Vessel Data Recorder Records data on the NMEA 2000 bus for later performance analysis, vessel tracking, preventative maintenance, warranty incident, and accident investigation
GPS200 Cabin top GPS Position, speed over ground, course over ground, time, date, magnetic variation and more
