REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS  
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect that could cause a crash or could cause  
injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety  
Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Multiquip at 1-800-421-1244.  
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds  
that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy  
campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems  
between you, your dealer, or Multiquip.  
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-  
327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), go to http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov; or write to:

CAUTION - EXHAUST HAZARD  
2. When grounding the generator (Figure 4) connect the  
ground cable between the lock washer and the nut on  
the generator and tighten the nut fully.Connect the other  
end of the ground cable to earth ground.  
Pay close attention to ventilation when operating the  
generator inside tunnels and caves. The engine exhaust  
contains noxious elements.Engine exhaust must be routed  
to a ventilated area.  
3. NEC article 250-52(c) specifies that the earth ground  
rod should be buried a minimum of 8 ft. into the ground.  
Indoor Installation  
Exhaust gases from diesel engines are extremely poisonous.  
Whenever an engine is installed indoors the exhaust fumes  
must be vented to the outside.The engine should be installed  
at least two feet from any outside wall. Using an exhaust  
pipe which is too long or too small can cause excessive back  
pressure which will cause the engine to heat excessively  
and possibly burn the valves.  
When connecting the generator  
to any buildings electrical  
system ALWAYS consult with  
a licensed electrician.  
NOTE  
Mounting  
The generator must be mounted on a solid foundation (such  
as concrete) and set firmly on the foundation to isolate  
vibration of the generator when it is running. The generator  
must set at least 6 inches above the floor or grade level (in  
accordance to NFPA 110, Chapter 5-4.1). DO NOT remove  
the metal skids on the bottom of the generator. They are to  
resist damage to the bottom of the generator and to maintain  
alignment.

GENERAL INFORMATION  
DCA-180SSJU Whisperwatt™ Series Familiarization  
Generator  
Open Delta Excitation System  
The DCA-180SSJU generator is equipped with the state of  
the art " " excitation system. The open delta  
system consist of an electrically independent winding wound  
among stationary windings of the AC output section.  
The MQ Power Model DCA-180SSJU is a 180 kW  
(Figure 5) that is designed as a high quality portable (requires  
a trailer for transport) power source for telecom sites, lighting  
facilities, power tools, submersible pumps and other industrial  
and construction machinery.  
There are four connections of the open delta A, B, C and D.  
During steady state loads, the power from the voltage  
regulator is supplied from the parallel connections of A to B,  
A to D, and C to D.These three phases of the voltage input  
to the voltage regulator are then rectified and are the  
excitation current for the exciter section.  
Engine Operating Panel  
The “Engine Operating Panel” is provided with the following:  
Tachometer  
Water Temperature Gauge  
Oil Pressure Gauge  
Charging Ammeter Gauge  
Fuel Level Gauge  
When a heavy load, such as a motor starting or a short circuit  
occurs, the automatic voltage regulator (AVR) switches the  
configuration of the open delta to the series connection of B  
to C.This has the effect of adding the voltages of each phase  
to provide higher excitation to the exciter section and thus  
better voltage response during the application of heavy loads.  
Engine Speed Switch  
Auto ON/OFF Engine Controller (MPEC)  
Preheat Lamp  
Warning Lamp  
The connections of the AVR to the AC output windings are  
for sensing only. No power is required from these windings.  
Emergency Stop Lamp  
Emergency Stop Button  
Diagnostic Gauge  
The open-delta design provides virtually unlimited excitation  
current, offering maximum motor starting capabilities. The  
Panel Light/Panel Light Switch  
Generator Control Panel  
excitation does not have a "  
" and responds  
according the demands of the required load.  
The “Generator Control Panelis provided with the following:  
Engine  
Frequency Meter (Hz)  
AC Ammeter (Amps)  
The DCA-180SSJU is powered by a 6 cylinder, water cooled,  
direct injection, turbocharged  
. This engine is designed to meet every  
performance requirement for the generator. Reference Table 1  
for engine specifications.  
AC Voltmeter (Volts)  
Ammeter Change-Over Switch  
Voltmeter Change-Over Switch  
Voltage Regulator  
3-Pole, 500 amp Main Circuit Breaker  
“Control Box” (located behind the Gen. Control Panel)  
In keeping with MQ Power's policy of constantly improving  
its products, the specifications quoted herein are subject to  
change without prior notice.  
Automatic Voltage Regulator  
Diagnostic Display  
Current Transformer  
Electric Governor System  
Over-Current Relay  
Voltage Rectifer  
The electric governor system controls the RPMs of the en-  
gine. When the engine demand increases or decreases, the  
governor system regulates the frequency variation to .25%.  
Starter Relay  
Engine Controller (Computer Controlled)  
Voltage Change-over Board  
Extension Cables  
Output Terminal Panel  
When electric power is to be provided to various tools or  
loads at some distance from the generator, extension cords  
are normally used. Cables should be sized to allow for  
distance in length and amperage so that the voltage drop  
between the generator and point of use (load) is held to a  
minimum. Use the cable selection chart (Table 6) as a guide  
for selecting proper extension cable size.  
The “Output Terminal Panel” is provided with the following:  
Three 120/240V output receptacles (CS-6369), 50A  
Three auxilliary circuit breakers, 50A  
Two 120V output receptacles (GFCI), 20A  
Two GFCI circuit breakers, 20A  
Five output terminal lugs (3Ø power)  
Battery Charger (Optional)  
Water Heater (Optional)

3. Right Arrow Button – Press this button to scroll through  
the screen either moving the parameter selection toward  
the right or downward.  
4. Enter Key Button – Press this button to select the  
parameter that is highlighted on the screen.  
5. Emergency Stop LED – When lit (RED) indicates a  
major fault has occured. This condition will shudown  
the generator.  
6. Warning LED – When lit (AMBER), indicates a engine  
parameter has exceeded its limits (minor fault). The  
generator will still run in this condition.  
7. Display Screen – Graphical backlight LCD screen.Back  
lighting is controlled via menu or external dimmer  
potentiometer. The display can show either a single  
parameter or a quadrant display showing four  
parameters simultaneously.  
Figure 6. Diagnostic Display Panel  
The diagnostic display panel located inside the control box  
on the generator (Figure 6) is designed to meet the needs  
for instrumentation and control of electronically controlled  
engine communication using the SAEJ1939 Controller Area  
Network (CAN). This diagnostic display is a multifunction  
tool that enables equipment operators to view many different  
engine parameters and service codes.  
8. Diagnostic Switch – When placed in the ON position,  
will activate the diagnostic display panel.  
9. CAN Diagnostic Connector – Controller Area Network  
connector. This connector outputs diagnostic error  
codes. Connect a scanner or similar device into this  
connector to read error codes.  
The keypad on the diagnostic display panel is a capacitive  
touch sensing system.There are no mechanical switches to  
wear or stick.This keypad (display unit) will operate in extreme  
hot or cold weather conditions.

engine fault has occured.  
If the generator is to be connected to a building’s AC  
power source via an automatic transfer switch  
(isolation), place the switch in the AUTO position. In  
this position, should an outage occur, the automatic  
transfer switch (ATS) will start the generator  
automatically via the generator’s auto-start contacts  
connected to the ATS’s start contacts. Please refer to  
your ATS installation manual for further instructions for  
the correct installation of the auto-start contacts of the  
generator to the ATS.  
11. Emergency Stop Lamp This lamp will illuminate when  
the emergency stop button has been pressed or a critical  
engine fault has occured.

LOAD APPLICATION  
Three Phase Load  
Single Phase Load  
When calculating the power requirements for 3-phase power  
use the following equation:  
Always be sure to check the nameplate on the generator  
and equipment to insure the wattage, amperage, frequency  
,
and voltage requirements are satisfactorily supplied by the  
generator for operating the equipment.  
Generally, the wattage listed on the nameplate of the  
equipment is its rated output.Equipment may require 130—  
150% more wattage than the rating on the nameplate, as  
the wattage is influenced by the efficiency, power factor and  
starting system of the equipment.  
If 3Ø load (kVA) is not given on  
the equipment nameplate,  
approximate 3Ø load output  
NOTE  
maybe  
determined  
by  
multiplying voltage by amperage  
by 1.732.  
If wattage is not given on the  
equipment's  
name  
plate,  
approximate wattage may be  
determined by multiplying  
nameplate voltage by the  
nameplate amperage.  
Motors and motor-driven  
equipment draw much greater  
current for starting than during  
operation.  
NOTE  
WATTS = VOLTAGE x AMPERAGE  
The power factor of this generator is 0.8. See Table 5 below  
when connecting loads.  
An inadequate size connecting cable which cannot carry the  
required load can cause a voltage drop which can burn out  
the appliance or tool and overheat the cable. See Table 6.

if these conditions exists.  
Fuel Addition  
Air Cleaner  
Add diesel fuel (the grade may vary according to season  
and locations).  
Every 250 hours: Remove air cleaner element and clean  
the heavy duty paper element with light spray of compressed  
air. Replace the air cleaner as needed.  
Removing Water from the Fuel Tank  
After prolonged use, water and other impurities accumulate  
in the bottom of the tank. Occasionally inspect the fuel tank  
for water contamination and drain the contents if required.  
Air Cleaner with Dust Indicator  
This indicator is attached to the air cleaner. When the air  
cleaner element is clogged, air intake restriction becomes  
greater and the dust indicator signal shows RED meaning  
the element needs changing or service. After changing the  
air element, press the dust indicator button to reset the  
indicator.  
During cold weather, the more empty volume inside the  
tank, the easier it is for water to condense. This can be  
reduced by keeping the tank full with diesel fuel.

MAINTENANCE (ENGINE)  
Air Removal  
Flushing Out Radiator and Replacing Coolant  
If air enters the fuel injection system of a diesel engine,  
starting becomes impossible. After running out of fuel, or  
after disassembling the fuel system, bleed the system  
according to the following procedure. See the  
for details.  
Open both cocks located at the crankcase side and at  
the lower part of the radiator and drain coolant. Open  
the radiator cap while draining.Remove the overflow tank  
and drain.  
Check hoses for softening and kinks. Check clamps for  
signs of leakage.  
To restart after running out of fuel, turn the switch to the  
ON” position for 15-30 seconds. Try again, if needed. This  
unit is equipped with an automatic air bleeding system.  
Flush the radiator by running clean tap water through  
radiator until signs of rust and dirt are removed.DO NOT  
clean radiator core with any objects, such as a  
screwdriver.  
Check Oil Level  
Check the crankcase oil level prior to each use, or when the  
fuel tank is filled. Insufficient oil may cause severe damage  
to the engine. Make sure the generator is level.The oil level  
must be between the two notches on the dipstick as shown  
in Figure 31.  
Tighten both cocks and replace the overflow tank.  
Replace with coolant as recommended by the engine  
manufaturer.  
Close radiator cap tightly.  
Replacing Oil Filter  
WARNING - BURN HAZARDS  
Remove the old oil filter.  
Apply a film of oil to the gasket on the new oil filter.  
Install the new oil filter.  
Allow engine to  
when flushing out  
radiator. Flushing the radiator while hot  
could cause serious burns from water or  
steam.  
After the oil cartridge has been replaced, the engine oil  
will drop slightly. Run the engine for a while and check  
for leaks before adding more oil if needed. Clean  
excessive oil from engine.  
Generator Storage  
Cleaning the Fuel Strainer  
For longe term storage of the generator the following is  
recommended:  
Clean the fuel strainer if it contains dust or water. Remove  
dust or water in the strainer cap and wash it in gasoline.  
Securely fasten the fuel strainer cap so that fuel will not leak.  
Check the fuel strainer every 200 hours of operation or once  
a month.  
Fill the fuel tank completely.Treat with a fuel stabilizer if  
necessary.  
Completely drain the oil from the crankcase and refill if  
necessary with fresh oil.  
Replacing Fuel Filter  
Clean the entire generator, internal and external.  
Cover the generating set and store in a clean, dry place.  
Disconnect the battery.  
Replace the fuel filter cartridge with new one every 500  
hours or so.  
Loosen the drain plug at the lower top of the fuel filter.  
Drain the fuel in the fuel body together with the mixed  
water. DO NOT spill the fuel during disassembly.  
Make sure engine coolant is at proper level.  
If generator is mounted on a trailer, jack trailer up and  
place on blocks so tires do not touch the ground or block  
and completely remove the tires.  
Vent any air.
