That's a very nice looking genset, colour me jealous... I still haven't sorted out my CS-based backup unit yet (one day, one day)... BTW, if you're interested, I think I have that same model UPS, the plastic front panel is damaged and the batteries are toast. If you like, I'll send it to you FOC (sans batteries obviously, they're useless). I upgraded to a massive APC unit I got at a bargain price - brand new, but it got dropped on delivery & smashed all the plastic front panel up. The vendor didn't dare power it up - I just plugged it in & got on with it, it's a 3000AH unit, so I can boil my kettle with it for over an hour! |

PS: Engine is 1982 - add 50 to the first 2 digits to get the year; next set of digits are the engine no, then the type (ST3), rotation (C is probably clockwise, vs A for anticlock BUT... it could be C=counterclockwise and blank = clockwise... the dating page doesn't elaborate). The trailing 03 is the build number. Again, what this is is not specified... http://www.oldengine.org/members/diesel/EngineDating/Dating6.htm |

Ade - a very kind offer thanks Matt , when I used to work on large American disk drives they used 'CW - clockwise' and 'CCW - counter clockwise' but Google tells me that Lister, who are / were British, used Z as the anti clockwise indicator. |
