Engineering Report
Anne Campeau Reporting
Generator/Electricity:
Casper: not used
Wendy Hobbs Meter: 3140.4 hrs
Voltage: 120 VAC
Frequency: 60 Hz
Oil Level: full
Oil Pressure: 33 PSI
Water Drained: no
Notes/Comments:
- Wendy has been switching herself off randomly today not related to fuel or to the GSM. (GSM cable is unplugged). We retightened all the generator screws inside the generator control box at the advice of the ET. We will find out later if this solves the problem.
- The auxillary cut-off switch (or the auxillary fuel soleniod) is malfunctioning which resulted in a minor overflow of the internal fuel tank this morning. We are currently running the generaotr S1 set to RUN (not RUN from AUX) and the auxillary fuel line valve closed. We will refull the internal fuel tank every 6 to 8 hours by switching S1 to run form AUX for a few min's while observing the fuel level in the internal fuel tank.
- We manually adjusted the generator running speed to bring the displayed frequency from 55Hz back up to 60Hz.

No readings since Don was working on the inverter most of the day today.
