DCA-220SSJ — INSTALLATION

Figure 4.Typical Generator Grounding Application

PAGE 16 — DCA-220SSJ— OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #1 (03/22/07)

Outdoor Installation

Install the generator in a area that is free of debris, bystanders, and overhead obstructions. Make sure the generator is on secure level ground so that it cannot slide or shift around. Also install the generator in a manner so that the exhaust will not be discharged in the direction of nearby homes.

The installation site must be relatively free from moisture and dust. All electrical equipment should be protected from excessive moisture. Failure to do will result in deterioration of the insulation and will result in short circuits and grounding.

Foreign materials such as dust, sand, lint and abrasive materials have a tendency to cause excessive wear to engine and alternator parts.

CAUTION - EXHAUST HAZARD

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.

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.

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.

Open Delta Excitation System

The DCA-220SSJ generator is equipped with the state of the art "Open-Delta" excitation system. The open delta system consist of an electrically independent winding wound among stationary windings of the AC output section.

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.

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.

The connections of the AVR to the AC output windings are for sensing only. No power is required from these windings.

The open-delta design provides virtually unlimited excitation current, offering maximum motor starting capabilities. The excitation does not have a "fixed ceiling" and responds according the demands of the required load.

Engine

The DCA-220SSJ is powered by a 6 cylinder, water cooled, direct injection, turbocharged John Deere 6068HF485Turbo Diesel Engine. This engine is designed to meet every performance requirement for the generator. Reference Table 1 for engine specifications.

In keeping with MQ Power's policy of constantly improving its products, the specifications quoted herein are subject to change without prior notice.

Electric Governor System

The electric governor system controls the RPMs of the engine. When the engine demand increases or decreases, the governor system regulates the frequency variation to ±.25%.

Extension Cables

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.

Other components in the system are microprocessor-based components for displaying critical engine data broadcast by an electronic engine or transmission’s Engine Control Unit

(ECU): engine RPM, oil pressure, coolant temperature, system voltage, etc., and a combination audible alarm and relay unit for warning and shutdown annunciation.

The Engine Control Unit (ECU) used with this generator diagnosis engine faults that arise with the the engine control system and the engine itself. Engine faults can be determined by viewing the DiagnosticTrouble Codes (Active Fault Codes) which are displayed on the Diagnostic Display Panel. See the John Deere Engine Operator’s Manual for a complete listing of active fault codes and countermeasures.

The following definitions describe the controls and functions of the Diagnostic Display Panel (Figure 6).

1.Menu Button – Press this button to enter or exit menu screens.

2.Left Arrow Button– Press this button to scroll through the screen either moving the parameter selection toward the left or upward.

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.

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.
