Safety Rules & General Information

2 Owner’s Manual for 50 Hz Air-cooled Generators

The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible cir-

cumstance that might involve a hazard. The warnings in

this manual and on tags and decals affixed to the unit

are, therefore, not all-inclusive. If using a procedure,

work method, or operating technique the manufacturer

does not specifically recommend, ensure that it is safe for

others. Also, make sure the procedure, work method or

operating technique utilized does not render the genera-

tor unsafe.

1.2.1— General Hazards

•

For safety reasons, the manufacturer recommends

that this equipment be installed by a Service

Dealer or other competent, qualified electrician or

installation technician who is familiar with

applicable codes, standards and regulations. The

operator also must comply with all such codes,

standards and regulations. Only an Authorized

Service Dealer is allowed to perform warranty

service on this unit.

• The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon

monoxide, which can be DEADLY. This dangerous

alter or add to the exhaust system or do anything

that might render the system unsafe or in

noncompliance with applicable codes and

standards.

• Install a battery-operated carbon monoxide alarm

indoors, according to manufacturer’s instructions/

recommendations.

• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and

ventilating air is critical to correct generator

operation. Do not alter the installation or permit

even partial blockage of ventilation provisions, as

this can seriously affect safe operation of the

generator. The generator MUST be installed and

operated outdoors only.

• Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive

belts, fans, and other moving or hot parts. Never

remove any drive belt or fan guard while the unit is

operating.

• When working on this equipment, remain alert at all

times. Never work on the equipment when

physically or mentally fatigued.

• Inspect the generator regularly, and contact the

nearest Dealer for parts needing repair or

replacement.

• Before performing any maintenance on the

generator, set to OFF, remove fuses, and

disconnect battery cables to prevent accidental

start up. Disconnect the cable from the battery post

indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (–) first, then

remove the POSITIVE, POS or (+) cable. When

reconnecting the cables, connect the POSITIVE

cable first, the NEGATIVE cable last.

• Never use the generator or any of its parts as a

step. Stepping on the unit can stress and break

parts, and may result in dangerous operating

conditions from leaking exhaust gases, fuel

leakage, oil leakage, etc.

1.2.2— Exhaust Hazards

•

Generator engine exhaust contains DEADLY

carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless,

poisonous gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can

cause dizziness, throbbing temples, nausea,

muscular twitching, headache, vomiting,

weakness, sleepiness, inability to think clearly,

fainting, unconsciousness or even death. If any

Only qualified service personnel may install, operate

and maintain this equipment. Failure to follow proper

installation requirements could result in death, serious

injury, and damage to equipment or property.

(000182)

WARNING

monoxide, a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas.

Carbon monoxide, if not avoided,

will result in death or serious injury.

Safety Rules & General Information

Owner’s Manual for 50 Hz Air-cooled Generators 3

carbon monoxide poisoning symptom is

experienced, move into fresh air and immediately

seek medical attention.

• This generator is designed for outdoor installation

ONLY. Never operate the generator inside any

garage or other enclosed space.

1.2.3— Electrical Hazards

•

All generators covered by this manual produce

dangerous electrical voltages and can cause fatal

electrical shock. Utility power delivers extremely

high and dangerous voltages to the transfer switch,

as does the standby generator when it is in

operation. Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals,

connections, etc., while the unit is running. Ensure

all appropriate covers, guards and barriers are in

place, secured and/or locked before operating the

generator. If work must be done around an

operating unit, stand on an insulated, dry surface to

reduce shock hazard.

• Do not handle any kind of electrical device while

standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or

feet are wet. DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK

MAY RESULT.

• The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires the

frame and external electrically conductive parts of

the generator to be connected to an approved

earth ground. Local electrical codes also may

require proper grounding of the generator electrical

system.

• After installing this home standby electrical system,

the generator may crank and start at any time

without warning. When this occurs, load circuits

are transferred to the STANDBY (generator) power

source. To prevent possible injury if such a start

and transfer occur, always set the generator to the

OFF mode, remove the 7.5A fuse from the

generator control panel, and disconnect the battery

before working on equipment.

• In case of accident caused by electric shock,

immediately shut down the source of electrical

power. If this is not possible, attempt to free the

victim from the live conductor. AVOID DIRECT

CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a

nonconducting implement, such as a dry rope or

board, to free the victim from the live conductor. If

the victim is unconscious, apply first aid and get

immediate medical help.

• Never wear jewelry when working on this

equipment. Jewelry can conduct electricity

resulting in electric shock, or may get caught in

moving components causing injury.

1.2.4— Fire Hazards

•

For fire safety, the generator must be installed and

maintained properly. Installation must always

comply with applicable codes, standards, laws and

regulations. Adhere strictly to local, state and

national electrical and building codes. Comply with

regulations the Occupational Safety and Health

Administration (OSHA) has established. Also,

ensure that the generator is installed in accordance

with the manufacturer’s instructions and

recommendations. Following proper installation, do

nothing that might alter a safe installation and

render the unit in noncompliance with the

aforementioned codes, standards, laws and

regulations.

• Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator at all

times. Extinguishers rated “ABC” by the National

Fire Protection Association are appropriate for use

on the standby electric system. Keep the

extinguisher properly charged and be familiar with

its use. Consult the local fire department with any

questions pertaining to fire extinguishers.

1.2.5— Explosion Hazards

•

Do not smoke around the generator. Wipe up any

fuel or oil spills immediately. Ensure that no

combustible materials are left in the generator

compartment, or on or near the generator, as FIRE

or EXPLOSION may result. Keep the area

surrounding the generator clean and free from

debris.

• Gaseous fluids such as natural gas and liquid

propane (LP) gas are extremely EXPLOSIVE.

Install the fuel supply system according to

applicable fuel-gas codes. Before placing the home

standby electric system into service, fuel system

lines must be properly purged and leak tested

according to applicable code. After installation,

inspect the fuel system periodically for leaks. No

leakage is permitted.

(000131)

DANGER

Electrical backfeed. Use only approved switchgear to isolate

generator when electrical utility is the primary power

source. Failure to do so can result in generator damage

and could result in death or serious injury.

Operation

12 Owner’s Manual for 50 Hz Air-cooled Generators

3.4 — Automatic Transfer Operation

To select automatic operation:

1. Make sure the transfer switch main contacts are

set

to the UTILITY position (loads connected to the

utility power source).

2. Be sure that normal UTILITY power source voltage

is availa

ble to transfer switch terminal lugs N1 an

d

N2.

3. Press the AUTO button on the control panel

in

terface.

4. Set the main circuit breaker (Generator Discon-

nect) to the ON (Closed) position.

With these steps complete, the generator will start auto-

matically when utility source voltage drops below a preset

level. After the unit starts, loads are transferred to the

standby power source.

3.5 — Automatic Sequence of

Operation

3.5.1— Utility Failure

With the generator set to AUTO, when utility fails (below

65% of nominal) a 5 second (dealer programmable) line

interrupt delay time is started. If utility is still gone when

the timer expires, the engine will crank and start. Once

started, a 5 second engine warm-up timer will be initi-

ated. When the warm-up time expires, the controller will

transfer the load to the generator. If the utility power is

restored (above 80% nominal) at any time from the initia-

tion of the engine start until the generator is ready to

accept load (5 second warm-up time has not elapsed),

the controller will complete the start cycle and run the

generator through its normal cool down cycle, however,

the load will remain on the utility source.

3.5.2— Cranking

The system will control the cyclic cranking as follows:

• 5 cranking cycles as follows: 16 second crank,

seven

(7) second rest, 16 second crank,

seven (7)

se

cond rest, followed by three (3) additional cycles

of seven (7) second cranks followed by

seven (7)

second res

ts.

3.5.3— Load Transfer

The transfer of load when the generator is running is

dependent upon the operating mode:

NOTE: Important! If it is necessary to turn off the

generator during prolonged utility outages to perform

maintenance or conserve fuel, follow these steps.

To turn OFF the generator (while running in AUTO and

on-line):

1. Turn OFF (or OPEN) the main utility disconnect.

2. Turn OFF (or OPEN) the main line circuit breaker

(

MLCB) on the generator.

3. Turn the generator OFF.

4. To turn the generator back ON:

5. Put the generator back into AUTO and allow to

start and warm-up for several minutes.

6. Turn ON (or CLOSE) the MLCB on the generator.

MANUAL

• Will not transfer to generator if utility is present.

• Will transfer to generator if utility fails (below 65% of nominal for 5 consecutive seconds).

• Will transfer back when utility returns for 15 consecutive seconds. The engine will continue to

run until removed from the MANUAL mode.

AUTO

• Will start and run if utility fails for 10 consecutive seconds. (factory default)

• Will start a 5 second engine warm-up timer.

–Will not transfer if utility subsequently returns.

–Will transfer to generator if utility is not present.

• Will transfer back to utility once utility returns (above 80% of nominal) for 15 seconds.

• Will not transfer back to utility unless utility returns. The generator will shut down if the OFF

button is pressed or a shutdown alarm is present.

• Once utility power is returned, the generator will shut down after 1 minute cool-down time.

EXERCISE

• Will not exercise if generator is already running in either AUTO or MANUAL mode.

• During exercise, the controller will only transfer if utility fails during exercise for 5 seconds,

and will switch to AUTO.

Operation

Owner’s Manual for 50 Hz Air-cooled Generators 13

The system will now begin operating in automatic mode.

The main utility disconnect can be turned ON (or

CLOSED). To shut the unit off, this complete process

must be repeated.

3.6 — Manual Transfer Operation

Prior to automatic operation, manually exercise the trans-

fer switch to verify that there is no interference with

proper operation of the mechanism. Manual operation of

the transfer switch is required if electronic operation

should fail.

Operation

3.6.1— Transfer to Generator Power Source

1. Ensure the generator is in the OFF mode.

2. Set the main circuit breaker (Generator Discon-

nect) to OFF or OPEN.

3. Turn off the utility power supply to the transfer

switch using the means provided (such as a utility

main line circuit breaker).

4. Use the manual transfer handle (A in Figure 3-4.)

inside the transfer switch to move the main con-

tacts to the STANDBY position (loads connected to

the standby power source).

5. To crank and start the engine, press the control

panel MANUAL button.

6. Allow the engine to stabilize and warm up for a few

minutes.

7. Set the main circuit breaker (Generator Discon-

nect) to ON or CLOSED. The standby power

source now powers the loads.

3.6.2— Transfer Back to Utility Power

Source

When utility power has been restored, transfer back to

utility source and shut down the generator. To manually

transfer back to utility power and shut down the genera-

tor:

1. Set the Main Circuit Breaker (Generator Discon-

nect) to OFF or OPEN.

2. Allow the engine to run for 2 minutes at no-load to

stabilize the internal temperatures.

3. Press the control panel OFF button. The engine

should shut down.

4. Ensure that utility power supply to the transfer

switch is turned off.

5. Use the manual transfer handle (A in Figure 3-4.)

inside the transfer switch to move the main con-

tacts back to the UTILITY position (loads con-

nected to the utility power source).

6. Turn on the utility power supply to the transfer

switch using the means provided.

7. Press the control panel AUTO button.

3.7.2— LED Indicator Lights

See “B” in Figure 3-5.

• Green LED “Ready” light is on when utility is pres-

ent and the control panel button is in the AUTO

position. This also indicates when the generator is

running.

• Red LED “Alarm” light is on when the generator is

OFF or a fault is detected. Contact an authorized

servicing dealer.

• Yellow LED “Maintenance” light.

NOTE: Yellow LED may be on at the same time as either

the Red or Green LED.

3.8 — Battery Charger

NOTE: The battery charger is integrated into the control

module in all models.

The battery charger operates as a “Smart Charger” that

ensures:

• Output is continually optimized to promote maxi-

mum battery life.

• Charging levels are safe.

NOTE: A warning is displayed on the LCD when the bat-

tery needs service.

3.9 — Setting the Exercise Timer

This generator is equipped with a configurable exercise

timer. There are two settings for the exercise timer.

Day/Time: Once set, the generator will start and exercise

for the period defined, on the day of the week and at the

time of day specified. During this exercise period, the unit

runs for approximately 5 or 12 minutes, depending on the

model, and then shuts down.

Exercise frequency (how often the exercise will take

place): It can be set to WEEKLY, BIWEEKLY or

MONTHLY. If MONTHLY is selected, the day of the

month must be selected from 1-28. The generator will

exercise on that day each month. Transfer of loads to the

generator output does not occur during the exercise

cycle unless utility power is lost.

NOTE: If the installer tests the generator prior to installa-

tion, press the “enter” button to skip setting up the exer-

cise timer.

NOTE: The exercise feature will operate only when the

generator is placed in the AUTO mode and will not work

unless this procedure is performed. The current date/time

will need to be reset every time the 12 volt battery is dis-

connected and then reconnected, and/or when the fuse

is removed.

3.10 — Cold Smart Start

The Cold Smart Start feature can be enabled in the EDIT

menu. With Cold Smart Start enabled, the generator will

monitor ambient temperature and the warm-up delay will

be adjusted based on prevailing conditions.

On a startup in AUTO mode, if the ambient temperature

is below a fixed temperature (based on model) the gener-

ator will warm-up for 30 seconds. This allows the engine

to warm before a load is applied. If the ambient tempera-

ture is at or above the fixed temperature, the generator

will startup with the normal warm-up delay of 5 seconds.

When the generator engine is started, a check for proper

output voltage build up will be performed.

If some condition impedes normal voltage creation, such

as frost crystals or dust/dirt prevent a good electrical con-

nection, the start sequence will be interrupted so that a

cleaning cycle of the internal electrical connections can

be attempted.

The cleaning cycle is an extended “Warming Up” period

which lasts for several minutes while the normal genera-

tor voltage output is determined to be low. During this

cycle, the generator controller will display the “Warming

Up” on its display screen.

If the cleaning cycle fails to clear the obstruction, the gen-

erator controller display will show the “Under Voltage”

message.

After several minutes, the alarm message can be

cleared, and a restart of the generator attempted.

If the problem persists, make no further attempts to start.

Contact an independent authorized service dealer.

Maintenance
