SECTION 1
DESCRIPTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Carrier Transicold model 69UG15 under--mounted
diesel--driven generator sets provide electrical power
for all--electric refrigeration units.
The generator set (see Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2)
consists of a diesel engine direct--connected to an
alternating current generator and mounted in a
structural steel frame. The engine is a vertical in--line,
four cylinder diesel manufactured by Kubota, while the
generator is a 15 kW, brushless, single bearing type
manufactured by Lima. The generator provides a
constant 460 or 230 VAC, three--phase, 60 hertz
electrical supply.
Electrical controls are mounted in a control box with
operating controls and gauges mounted on a control
panel, which also serves as the control box cover. The
control panel components are protected by a deflector
assembly or a windowed control box door.
Auxiliary engine equipment consists of the battery, solid
state battery charging system, “spin-- on” lube oil filter,
fuel filter and other necessary components for proper
unit operation. The water pump and the radiator cooling
fan are belt--driven from the engine crankshaft. All
references to engine are as viewed from the fly wheel
end.
The 69UG15 is available as a standard configuration,
with an Auto Restart option or with Auto Restart and Low
Coolant Sensor. The Auto Restart option automatically
restarts the unit in the event of a unit shutdown. Auto
Restart also offers built--in indicators that signal low oil
pressure, high water temperature, overspeed, and
other overcrank conditions.
1.2 CONFIGURATION IDENTIFICATION
Generator set identification information is provided on a
label located below the left mounting pad to the left of the
access service door (front facing). The label provides
the generator set model number, serial number, and
parts identification number (PID). The model number
identifies the overall configuration, while the PID
provides information on specific optional equipment.
Separately bound manuals covering the diesel engine
are also available (see the following chart).

1.3 ENGINE
The engine is a vertical, in--line four cylinder diesel
engine, which is direct--connected to the alternating
current generator. Information on the major engine
systems is provided in the following subparagraphs.
1.3.1 Electronic Governor Module
The electronic governor module is a solid state control
module preprogrammed for 1800 RPM. The electronic
governor module, along with the engine speed sensor,
replaced the manual governor in order to provide a
constant engine speed.
1.3.2 Engine Air System
The air cleaner (Item 11, Figure 1-1) is designed to
prolong engine life and performance by preventing dirt
and grit from entering the engine and causing excessive
wear on all operating parts. In order for the air filter to
operate properly, the operator must regularly maintain
the air cleaner equipment in accordance with the
instructions provided within this document.
1.3.3 Lube Oil Filter Arrangement
The engine lubricating oil filter is mounted in a horizontal
arrangement and shown in Figure 1-4.

1.5 ALTERNATING CURRENT GENERATOR
1.5.1 Principle of Operation
The Marathon Alternator Company (Lima) brushless
ACgenerator(seeFigure 1-2,item9)isa
self--regulated, rotating field synchronous unit. The
generator stator and exciter stator are combined in a
common housing. The generator field, exciter rotor, and
rotating rectifier assembly are mounted on a common
shaft. The output of the exciter rotor is applied to the
generator field winding through a rotating, full--wave
bridge, silicon rectifier unit.
All connections between the exciter stator windings and
the generator stator windings are internal within the
stator housing. Only the output power leads are
connected at the terminal box, which is located on top of
the generator.
1.5.2 Alternating Current Generator Diagram
Figure 1-5 shows the internal schematic diagram of the
generator, exciter, and rectifier unit. The generator is a
three--phase unit, and the exciter stator and exciter rotor
also have three--phase windings. A portion of the exciter
stator windings is connected across a tap on the
generator stator winding. This exciter shunt winding
provides the generator field excitation power required
for the generator no--load voltage. Another portion of the
exciter stator windings is connected in series with the
output of the generator and provides a compounding
excitation characteristic.
Figure 1-3 Fuel System Diagram
1--5
T-343
The rotor is, in effect, the secondary of a rotating current
transformer induction frequency converter. The exciter
rotor output voltage is applied to the generator field
windings by a three--phase, full wave rotating silicon
rectifier unit. The response time of the excitation system
is very fast as the exciter stator carries an alternating
current corresponding to the load current that appears
immediately on the exciter primary. An increase in load
current will cause an immediate increase in the exciter
secondary output voltage, which is rectified and applied
tothegeneratorfieldwindings.Theinherent
compounding characteristics of the excitation system
provide excellent voltage regulation even under heavy
overload conditions.

CAUTION
Observeproper polarity when installing the
batteryor connecting a battery charger. The
negativebatteryterminalmustbe
grounded. Reverse polarity may damage
the charging system. When charging the
battery in unit, isolate the battery by
disconnecting the negative batteryterminal
first, then the positive. Once the battery has
been charged, connect the positive battery
terminal first, then the negative.
1.6 BATTERY CHARGER
The solid state battery charger (see Figure 1-2) is
located to the left of the radiator. The charger is powered
by the generator, and this input is protected by a circuit
breaker located on the control panel. The battery
charger produces a tapered charge (25 amps
maximum) and is designed not to overcharge the
battery.
1.7 OPERATING CONTROLS AND
INSTRUMENTS
1.7.1 Introduction
Components required for monitoring and controlling the
unit are located in the control box, on the control panel
(see Figure 1-6) and on the receptacle box (see
Figure 1-1).
1.7.2 Control Panel and Related Components
a. Gauges and Senders
1. Oil Pressure Gauge (see Figure 1-6, Figure 1-7,
Figure 1-8)
The purpose of this gauge is to observe normal
operating engine oil pressure. Normal oil pressure is 35
to 60 psig (3.3 to 5.2 kg/cm
2
).
2. Oil Pressure Sender (see Figure 1-4)
This device senses engine lube oil pressure and
transmits a signal to the oil pressure gauge. The oil
pressure sender is located on the oil filter housing.
3. WaterTemperatureGauge(seeFigure 1-6,
Figure 1-7, Figure 1-8)
The function of this gauge is to observe water operating
temperature. The gauge is connected to the water
temperature sender.
4. Water Temperature Sender (see Figure 1-2)
This device senses engine water temperature and
transmits a signal to the water temperature gauge.
5. Low Coolant Sensor (see Figure 1-2)
This device senses the coolant level inside the radiator
and will complete a conductive circuit as long as the
probes remain immersed in coolant. When the coolant
level falls below the probes, a signal will be sent to the
auto restart module, shutting down the engine and all
12--volt circuitry.
6. Auto Restart Module
Auto start/restart is provided to simplify the start--up
process and provide an automatic restart feature that
will automatically attempt to restart the unit in the event
of shutdown. Four LEDs are used to indicate shutdown
from overcrank, overspeed, low oil pressure, and high
water temperature. A fifth LED is used to indicate the
unit is running. Refer to Table 1-2 for system preset
values.
The auto restart function will perform a series of six
attempts to restart the unit and make three attempts
within each series. Once the function has completed all
18 attempts, the unit will automatically lock out future
crank attempts. Refer to T able 1-3 for detailed
information on auto restart sequencing.
1--6T-343
b. Meters
1. Ammeter (A)
The ammeter (see Figure 1-6, Figure 1-7, Figure 1-8) is
an indicator of the charging system and unit electrical
draw. It indicates the rate of discharge or charge of the
battery. During start up, the intake heater draws
approximately 42 amps.
2. Total Time Meter (TT)
The total time meter (see Figure 1-6, Figure 1-7,
Figure 1-8) calculates the total hours and provides an
accurate readout of accumulated engine running time.
This data can be used to establish the proper periodic
maintenance schedule (refer to Section 4.1).
The intake heater switch is of the momentary type.
When held in the PREHEAT position, the switch allows
approximately 42 amps of battery current to flow into the
intake heater, which preheats the air within the intake
manifold and allows the engine to start. After starting the
engine, the intake heater switch should continue to be
held in the ON position for approximately 5 seconds until
the engine has developed enough oil pressure to close
the oil pressure safety switch.
2. Ignition Switch (IGN) (see Figure 1-6, Figure 1-7)
The ignition switch is of the momentary type to be used
in the OFF/ON/STAR T positions. When held in the
START (ignition) position, it energizes the starter motor
solenoid, which in turn allows the starter motor to crank
the engine. The switch is released to the RUN position
once the engine has started.
3. Ignition Switch (IGN)(Auto Restart) (see Figure 1-8)
The ignition switch is of the maintained contact type to
be used in the RUN/OFF positions. When switched to
the RUN position, it energizes the control module, which
in turn controls all functions of the genset.
1.8 SAFETY DEVICES
Safety devices, such as circuit breakers, fuses, and
safety switches, protect system components from
damage.
The AC generator, solid state battery charger, fuel
heater, high water temperature, safety relay, total time
meter and intake air heater are protected by circuit
breakers. If a safety device opens and there is an
interruption of electrical current, the electronic governor
modulewillbede--energized,whichwillalso
de--energize the fuel solenoid, interrupt the fuel flow to
the engine and stop the engine.
In units with auto restart, the engine, engine control
devices, and engine monitoring devices are protected
by the auto restart module, low coolant sensor (if
equipped), circuit breaker, low oil pressure switch, and
high water temperature switch. These safety devices
monitor system operating conditions and open a set of
electrical contacts when an unsafe condition occurs. If a
safety device opens and there is an interruption of
electrical current, the electronic governor module will be
de--energized, which will also de--energize the fuel
solenoid, interrupt the fuel flow to the engine and stop
the engine.
De--energizing the fuel solenoid shuts off the fuel supply
to the engine; thus stopping the engine. Safety device
specifications are provided in Table 1-4.
