1.8The Hazards of Carbon Monoxide
Engine-driven generators can produce harmful levels of carbon monoxide that can injure or kill
you.
1.8.1What Is Carbon Monoxide Poisoning?
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless, tasteless and non-irritating gas. You cannot
see it or smell it. Red blood cells, however, have a greater affinity for CO than for Oxygen.
Therefore, exposure even to low levels of CO for a prolonged period can lead to asphyxiation
(lack of Oxygen) resulting in death. Mild effects of CO poisoning include eye irritation, dizziness,
headaches, fatigue and the inability to think clearly. More extreme symptoms include vomiting,
seizures and collapse.
1.8.2What Are the Special Risks of CO Near the Home?
Residents can be exposed to lethal levels of CO when the genset is running. Depending on air
temperature and wind, CO can accumulate in or near the home.
To protect yourself and others from the dangers of CO poisoning, it is recommended that
reliable and approved CO detector alarms be installed in the home.
WARNING
Carbon Monoxide (CO) gas can cause nausea, fainting or death.
A029V088 (Issue 19)3

1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS3-2015
1.8.3Only You Can Protect Yourself From CO Poisoning!
• Locate the generator in an area where there are no windows, doors or other access points
into the home.
• Make sure all CO detectors are working properly.
• Pay attention to the signs of CO poisoning.
• Check the exhaust system for corrosion, obstruction and leaks each time you start the
generator set and every eight hours if you run it continuously.

3. Step-By-Step Outline of Installation3-2015
WARNING
Gaseous fuels are flammable, explosive and can cause severe personal injury or death.
Do not smoke if you smell gas, are near fuel tanks for fuel-burning equipment or are in
an area sharing ventilation with such equipment. Keep flames, sparks, pilot lights,
electrical arcs, arc-producing equipment and all other sources of ignition well away.
Keep a type ABC fire extinguisher handy.
In all fuel system installations, cleanliness is extremely important.
• Make every effort to prevent fuel contamination of:
• moisture
• dirt
• excess thread sealant
• contaminants of any kind
• Clean all fuel system components before installing.
Gaseous-fuel supply system design, materials, components, fabrication, assembly, installation,
testing, inspection, operation and maintenance must comply with the applicable codes. See
NFPA Standards No. 37, 54 and 58.
Most codes require a manual shutoff valve ahead of a flexible fuel hose. The manual valve
should be of the indicating type. The generator set has an electric (battery-powered) shutoff
valve included.
It is recommended that a shutoff valve be located near the generator set as well, for
emergency shut off or servicing the generator set.
Until the generator set is connected, cap the fuel line stub-up at the generator set to prevent dirt
from entering and gas from discharging if the gas supply shutoff valve is opened inadvertently.
3.8.1Fuel Line Connections
Fuel presents the hazard of fire or explosion that can result in severe personal injury or
death. Do not smoke or allow any flame, spark, pilot light or other ignition sources near
fuel or in the installation area. Read the important safety precautions in the Fuel System
section of this manual.
Refer to the Outline and System Drawings for the location of the fuel supply connection
through the side of the generator set.
NOTICE
WARNING
NOTICE
The low fuel pressure switch connection comes standard on the 50 Hz. model and is an
option on the 60 Hz. model of this generator set.
A flexible fuel hose is packaged inside the generator set.
28A029V088 (Issue 19)
Page 35
3-20153. Step-By-Step Outline of Installation
The section of flexible fuel hose supplied with the generator set must be used between the
engine's fuel system and fuel supply line to protect the fuel system from damage caused by
vibration, expansion and contraction. The fuel hose must be installed according to all applicable
codes and standards.
Connect it between the 3/4 NPT fitting on the generator set and the fuel supply line.
3.8.2Fuel Line Connections (Model 14GSBB-6716B Only)
The factory installed, UL approved valve must be removed and an Australian Gas Association
(AGA) approved shutoff valve must be installed prior to generator set installation in Australia or
New Zealand. Adaptation from NPT to BSPT may be required, depending on the valve used.
The maximum amperage of the valve selected must be less than 1.0 amp at 12 VDC.
3.8.3Natural Gas Fuel System
The generator set requires an adequate fuel supply to operate correctly at full load. The length
of the fuel supply pipe from the gas service entrance to the generator set must be known to
determine the correct fuel pipe size. Refer to the Natural Gas Pipe Capacity - Cubic Feet of Gas
Per Hour table, located within the Natural Gas Supply Line Size section of this manual to find
the fuel supply requirement for your generator set. The Pipe must be a minimum of schedule 40
subject to the authority having jurisdiction.
A029V088 (Issue 19)29
Page 36
3. Step-By-Step Outline of Installation3-2015
3.8.3.1Natural Gas Supply
NOTICE
The Natural Gas supply meter may need to be exchanged for a higher capacity meter to
supply the additional gas consumed by the generator set.
See the Generator Set Specifications Table for fuel specifications, such as BTU. To
determine the required meter capacity, generator set consumption must be added to the gas
consumed for heating, cooking, clothes drying, etc.
• A typical installation might require a 400,000 BTU meter.
Consideration should also be given to utilizing high pressure gas supply (2 psi) if available. This
will reduce the required size, and therefore cost, of gas piping, especially if the location of the
generator set requires a long supply line.
NOTICE
An older site might require upgrading and repair of the gas supply system, which
should be scheduled to minimize power and gas supply interruptions.
3.8.3.2Natural Gas Supply Line Size
See the Generator Set Specifications Table for fuel specifications (such as BTU/hr).
The Natural Gas meter may not be adequate if the meter serves other gas appliances, such as
a:
• Furnace
• Water heater
• Stove
To correctly size the fuel pipe, you must also take other loads operated from the fuel supply line
into consideration, such as:
• Space heating equipment
• Water heating equipment
Use the total load requirement of the fuel supply line to determine the size of the fuel supply
pipe. Use the Natural Gas Pipe Capacity - Cubic Feet of Gas Per Hour table to determine the
correct pipe size.
For Spec A and Canadian GSBB Spec B, make sure the fuel supply pressure at the inlet to the
generator regulator (at service port) is set between 5–11 in. WC for all operating loads (no load to
full load).
For US GSBB Spec B and Canadian GSBC Spec B, make sure the fuel supply pressure at the
inlet to the generator regulator (at service port) is set between 5–7 in. WC for all operating loads
(no load to full load).

3.8.4Propane Fuel System
WARNING
NFPA Standard No. 58 requires all persons handling and operating Propane to be
trained in proper handling and operating procedures.
WARNING
Fuel leaks can lead to explosive accumulations of gas. Propane sinks in air and can
accumulate inside housings, basements and other below-grade spaces. Prevent gas
leaks and the accumulation of gaseous fuel in the event of a leak.
A029V088 (Issue 19)31
Page 38
3. Step-By-Step Outline of Installation3-2015
3.8.4.1Recommended Fuel (Propane)
WARNING
Propane presents the hazard of fire or explosion that can cause severe personal injury
or death. Do not permit any flame, spark, arc-producing equipment, switch, pilot light,
cigarette or other ignition source near the fuel system. Keep an ABC type fire
extinguisher nearby.
Use clean, fresh HD-5 grade Propane or equivalent product consisting of at least 90% Propane.
NOTICE
Commercial Propane may contain more than 2.5% butane, which can result in poor fuel
vaporization and low tank pressure - resulting in poor engine staring in below 32 °F (O
°C) temperatures.
3.8.4.2Propane Tank Size
First, some Propane tank facts to bear in mind when figuring the proper Propane tank size:
• Propane tanks are sized by the number of gallons of water they can hold, not the amount
of fuel they can hold.
• Propane tanks are generally filled to only 80% of their water capacity. Therefore, a 500 lb.
tank results in 400 lb. tank capacity.
• Low ambient temperatures affect the amount of fuel available from the Propane tank.
• Approximately 60% of the fuel (in gallons) filled in the tank can be effectively used.
Therefore, a 500 lb. tank results in 300 gallon capacity.
To assist in the proper selection of the Propane tank, follow the guidelines below.
• Propane tanks must be fitted with a pressure reducing regulator before connection to the
generator set to prevent fuel system damage.
• Propane tanks must be located at least 10 ft. (3048 mm) from any source of combustion
(including the generator set).
TABLE 17.REQUIRED PROPANE TANK SIZE IN GALLONS (LITERS) FOR INDICATED
3.8.4.3Propane Vapor Fuel Supply Line Size and Pressure
Fuel line size depends on the amount of fuel needed to run the generator set at full load at the
distance the fuel must be moved.
• See the Generator Set Specifications Table for fuel system specifications, such as the
amount of propane vapor at certain loads.
The following figure shows a typical Propane vapor installation and the table below lists fuel
capacity for given distances and pipe size.
Size the fuel line so that the Propane vapor pressure drops no more than 1.5 inches WC from
no load to full load.
NOTICE
For Spec A and Canadian GSBB Spec B, make sure the fuel supply pressure at the inlet of the
generator fuel regulator (at service port) is set between 7–11 in. WC for all operating loads (no
load to full load).
For US GSBB Spec B and Canadian GSBC Spec B, make sure the fuel supply pressure at the
inlet of the generator fuel regulator (at service port) is set between 12–14 in. WC for all operating
loads (no load to full load).

3.8.4.4Converting From Natural Gas to Propane (Vapor Withdrawal)
The generator set leaves the factory set up for Natural gas.
For use with Propane, the generator must be converted by configuring the control for
Propane.
For US GSBB Spec B and Canadian GSBC Spec B, additional steps must be taken when
converting to Propane.
1. The manual fuel selector must be adjusted to the LP setting.
2. Once the manual fuel selection is set, install the welch plug tied to the front of the fuel
regulator by hammering the plug into the fuel selector until the plug distorts and cannot be
removed. Once the plug is installed, the fuel type cannot be changed unless the welch plug
is physically removed. If the welch plug is removed, it will most likely be damaged and will
need to be replaced with a new welch plug.

WARNING
Fuel presents the hazard of explosion or fire which can result in severe personal injury
or death. Do not smoke or allow any flame, spark, pilot light, arc-producing equipment,
switch or other ignition sources around fuel or fuel components.
Before operating the generator set, test the fuel system for leaks.
• Energize the fuel solenoid from a separate 12-volt DC source before testing the fuel
system
NOTICE
Testing for gas leaks with a flame can cause a fire or explosion that can lead to severe
personal injury or death. Use approved methods only.
After assembly, and before initial operation, all fuel system connections, hose valves, regulators
and fittings must be tested and proven free of leaks using a soap-and-water (or equivalent)
solution while the system is under gas or air pressure of at least 1.5 times the supply pressure
or 3 psi (20.7 kPa) minimum.
• Apply the soap-and-water solution to all fuel system connections, hose valves, regulators
and fittings.
• When the system is running, bubbles will form where air/pressure is leaking from the
system.
Other approved methods of detecting leaks can be used if appropriate. DO NOT use a flame to
test for gas leaks.

5.10Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Do I need a router?
Answer: Yes, a router or switch is required to allow for the connection of more than one device
(computer, generator set, etc.) with each other and the Internet.
• Typically, your Internet modem also serves as a router.
• If you have an available Ethernet connection on your router-enabled modem, you may not
need to add an additional router.
Question: Do I need a modem?
Answer: A modem is required if you want to utilize the email and remote Internet access
features of the generator set.
• Only one modem is required.
• If you already have an Internet connection, you have a modem.
Question: What is an IP Address?
Answer: An IP Address, or Internet Protocol Address, is a unique address that devices such as
a computer or your home generator set use to communicate with each other, both on your inhome network (LAN network) or with the World Wide Web.
Question: What is the difference between Static and Dynamic IP Addresses?
Answer:
Dynamic IP Address - On your in-home network, the router (with DHCP enabled) will assign a
dynamic IP Address to all devices (computer, home generator set, etc.) connected to the router.
As devices are added and removed from the router, the devices are automatically updated with
new IP Addresses. This means that your computer and generator set IP Addresses will not
always be the same unless static IP Addresses are assigned.
Static IP Address - A static IP Address is an unique address that is permanently assigned to a
device. On the World Wide Web, your typical ISP (Internet Service Provider) assigns a dynamic
IP Address to your Internet connection. This is the IP Address you type into your Internet
browser to access your generator set from the World Wide Web. A static IP Address is required
for you to establish a constant address you can always access from the World Wide Web.
Contact your ISP to set up a static IP Address for your Internet connection.
Question: What is DHCP?
Answer: DCHP, or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, automatically assigns IP Addresses,
subnet masks, and gateways to devices, allowing them to communicate with each other.
• Your router and generator set are equipped with DHCP.
A029V088 (Issue 19)53
Page 60
5. Optional Internet/Email Interface Setup3-2015
• Default is for DHCP to be on.
Question: What is a UPS device and why is it recommended?
Answer: A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) device is battery backup to keep devices such
as computers and modems powered during short-term power outages.
• We recommend that the modem/router be powered through a UPS device to ensure that
your generator set is able to send emails and be remotely accessed at all times.
• For example, if your generator set shuts down during a utility power outage, the
generator set can still send you an email letting you know that the power has failed
and that the generator set shut down.
Question: When do I need to use a Static IP Address?
Answer: Static IP addresses are required if you plan to access your generator set remotely via
the Internet.
Question: I used the IP Addresses shown on the front of this guide, but why was I not able to
access the generator set?
Answer: The IP Addresses shown in this guide are only examples and are not likely to be the
ones that will work on your network setup.
Question: The IP Address consists of four numbers ranging from 0 to 255 which are separated
by dots; 179.168.052.094, for example. Are leading zeros necessary?
Answer: No, the IP Address, 192.168.0.1, for example, is equivalent to 192.168.000.001. The
address can be entered either way.
Question: How do I get my IP Number, Subnet Mask and Gateway?
Answer:
On a PC:
1. Disable the PC's wireless function.
2. Establish an Ethernet connection between the computer and generator set via a common
modem.
3. On the computer, Click Start>Run.
4. On the run menu that appears type “cmd " and click OK.
5. Type “ipconfig " on the DOS window that appears.
Question: Why do I need two IP Addresses to access my generator set?
Answer: You can access your generator set from two networks, your in-home or local network,
and from the World Wide Web, thus requiring two addresses.
• Your local IP Address is different from your World Wide Web IP Address.
• From your in-home network you use the generator set's Static IP Address.
• From the World Wide Web you first need to access your modem, which is
accomplished by typing in the Static IP Address of your Internet connection.
Your modem will then automatically forward you to your generator set on the local network.

6.13Load Management
The generator set may have been set up at installation to connect and disconnect certain large
loads, such as air conditioners, to manage the total load so as not to overload the generator set.
This requires the installation of relays to the load management signals which allow for the
disconnection of loads. Load management can be set to operate in automatic or manual mode.
Whether in automatic or manual mode, there is a delayed start. Load 1 is enabled three minutes
after the generator set is connected to the house loads, and Load 2 is enabled six minutes after
the generator set is connected to the house loads.
6.13.1 Automatic Load Management
When set to automatic mode, the user takes no action and can only view which loads are
connected. Three minutes after the generator starts, the load that is connected to genset load
L1 is connected. After a delay of three more minutes, the load that is connected to genset load
L2 is connected. If the connection of loads L1 and L2 exceeds 95% of the generator's load
capacity, they are disconnected by the generator. Following another three minute delay, the
control reconnects both loads following the same connection sequence used in the first attempt
(three minutes apart). If generator load capacity is exceeded again, both loads are disconnected
and no further reconnection is tried.
To select automatic load management and view whether the selected loads are connected while
the generator set is running:
1. Press the LOAD button on the home screen.
2. Press the up or down arrow button to select Automatic.
3. Note which loads are connected or disconnected.

it can be answered “YES". If a question cannot be checked off, review the appropriate section in
the manual.
• [ ] Can the top, maintenance and service access doors be swung fully open for operation,
maintenance and service?
• [ ] Are the cooling air inlet and outlet openings free of obstructions?
• [ ] Have the AC output connections been made properly?
• [ ] Has the transfer switch been installed properly to prevent connecting the generator set
to the utility?
• [ ] Has a properly sized battery been installed?
• [ ] Are all fuel connections tight?
• [ ] Is fuel supply pressure correct?
• [ ] Are electrical and fuel lines properly separated?
• [ ] Does engine exhaust disperse away from buildings?
• [ ] Have all fuel connections been checked for leaks?
• [ ] Is the fuel supply pressure to the inlet of the generator set appropriately set for the fuel
being used?
• [ ] Does the installation meet all applicable local, state, and federal codes?
• [ ] Is the fuel regulator vent screen free of obstructions.
• [ ] Is the manual fuel selector set to proper fuel?
7.2Startup
When all installation requirements have been met, connect the battery cables to the battery,
positive (+) cable first.
Automatic startup of the generator set during installation can cause severe personal injury or
death. Push the control switch OFF and disconnect the negative (–) cable from the battery to
keep the generator set from starting.

NOTICE
Before leaving the site, if the genset is ready to be placed in service, set the control switch to the
REMOTE position to provide automatic standby power.
7.3Fuel Solenoid - First Startup
First Start: Upon first connection of the fuel, especially in LP systems, it is possible for a spike
of pressure greater than the operating strength of the fuel solenoid to pass through the main
regulator and to lock the solenoid into an inoperable position. This issue can be reduced by
using a two-stage regulator at the tank.
If the situation occurs, close the main valve at the tank and vent the fuel from the line at the
tank. After reconnecting the lines, start the crank cycle at the genset and then turn on the fuel at
the tank while the engine is cranking. Multiple crank attempts may be required to purge the fuel

8Communication Troubleshooting
8.1In-Home Network Access to Generator Set
Troubleshooting
WARNING
Some generator set service procedures present hazards that can result in severe personal injury
or death. Only trained and experienced service personnel with knowledge of fuels, electricity,
and machinery hazards should perform generator set service.
Possible Causes: Bad connections or bad communications
Corrective Actions:
1. Check connections.
a. Verify that the Ethernet cable is plugged into the generator set control and the router.
b. Verify that the computer that is attempting to access the generator set is connected to
the same router as the generator set via an Ethernet cable (on the same local area
network).
c. Verify that the wireless card on the computer is turned off.
d. Check to see if both ends of the Ethernet cable are assembled and crimped as
described in the installation instructions. If not, reassemble and crimp as described in
the installation instructions.
e. Verify that the Ethernet cable connections between the generator set and the router
are solid and correct.
f. Proceed to "Check communications."
2. Check communications.
a. If the router is also connected to an incoming connection from an ISP, check to see if
you can access a standard web page with the computer connected to the same router
as the generator set. If not, contact your router manufacturer for troubleshooting
information.
b. Check to see if the green and orange lights are illuminated at the Ethernet connection
port on the generator set control board. If the lights are not illuminated, this indicates
that no information is being transmitted or received. Test the cable by disconnecting
the Ethernet cable from the generator control board and connecting it to the computer
(swap the cable with the exisiting Ethernet cable). With the router connected to the
ISP, check to see if you can access a standard web page.
a. If you can access a standard web page, call Cummins Support at 1-800-888-
6626 and select option 1.
b. If you cannot access a standard web page, go to the “Check connections" step
above.
c. Check to see if the correct generator IP address has been entered. If not, enter the
correct IP address in the address bar of the web browser. Be sure to not enter "www"
or other text prior to the IP address.

Troubleshooting
WARNING
Some generator set service procedures present hazards that can result in severe personal injury
or death. Only trained and experienced service personnel with knowledge of fuels, electricity,
and machinery hazards should perform generator set service.
Possible Causes: Improper setup, no high-speed internet connection, public IP address is not
active or properly set up, incorrect IP address is entered, computer is connected to the same
router or network as the generator set, or the internet connection is faulty.
Corrective Actions:
1. Check to see if you are able to access the generator set with your in-home computer.
If not, refer to the In-Home Network Access Troubleshooting procedures.
2. Verify that you followed the network setup procedures.
Refer to the Network Setup Guide.
3. Verify that you are using a high-speed internet connection.
4. Verify that the public IP address is active and set up properly with the ISP (Internet Service
Provider). If necessary, contact the ISP to verify your setup.*
5. Verify that the correct public IP address is entered into the web browser of the computer
(i.e. xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).

6. Verify that the computer is not connected to the same router or local area network as the
generator set. If it is on the same network, you will be able to access the generator set
using the local network IP address configured on the generator set. The computer used for
internet access must be connected to a different internet connection than the generator set.
7. Check to see if you can access a standard web page from a computer. If not, contact the
ISP to troubleshoot the internet connection.
8. Verify all settings, as described in the Network Setup Guide.
9. If the previous steps do not correct the problem, contact a computer network specialist to
diagnose.
* To verify your IP address, access “whatismyipaddress.com" from the browser of a
computer connected to the internet and on the same network as the generator set. This
web page displays your current IP address which should match the IP address assigned to
you by your ISP.
8.3Email Alert Troubleshooting
WARNING
Some Generator Set service procedures present hazards that can result in severe personal injury
or death. Only trained and experienced service personnel with knowledge of fuels, electricity,
and machinery hazards should perform Generator Set service.
Possible Causes: An improper setup, the alert level is not set to “all events," emails cannot be
received, the outgoing email address is not included in your contact list, the email account is not
capable of using plain SMTP for the outgoing SMTP server setup, the domain name is not
included in the user name filed of the Network Setup screen, or the DNS #1 and #2 values are
incorrect on the Network Setup screen.
Corrective Actions:
1. Check to see if you are able to access the generator set with your in-home computer. If
not, refer to In-Home Computer Access Troubleshooting.
2. Verify that you followed the network setup instructions. Refer to the Network Setup Guide.
3. Verify that the alert level is set to All Events.
a. To verify that your generator set can send emails, select Disable Standby and wait
several minutes to verify that you did receive an email.
b. Select Enable Standby and wait a few more minutes to verify that you did receive a
second email.
4. Send an email to the destination email address and check to see if you received this email.
If not, contact your email service provider or your ISP (Internet service provider) to
diagnose.
5. Check to see if the destination email accounts have spam filtering.
a. If spam filtering is present, add the outgoing email address to your contact list.
b. If spam filtering is not present, proceed to step 6.
