SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS − This manual contains
important instructions that should be followed during
installation and maintenance of the generator and batteries.
Before operating the generator set (genset), read the
Operator’s Manual and become familiar with it and the
equipment. Safe and efficient operation can be
achieved only if the equipment is properly operated
and maintained. Many accidents are caused by failure
to follow fundamental rules and precautions.
The following symbols, found throughout this manual,
alert you to potentially dangerous conditions to the operator, service personnel, or the equipment.
This symbol warns of immediate
hazards which will result in severe personal injury or death.
WARNING
This symbol refers to a hazard or unsafe practice which can result in severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION
This symbol refers to a hazard or unsafe practice which can result in personal injury
or product or property damage.
FUEL AND FUMES ARE FLAMMABLE
Fire, explosion, and personal injury or death can result
from improper practices.
• DO NOT fill fuel tanks while engine is running, un-
less tanks are outside the engine compartment.
Fuel contact with hot engine or exhaust is a potential
fire hazard.
• DO NOT permit any flame, cigarette, pilot light,
spark, arcing equipment, or other ignition source
near the generator set or fuel tank.
• Fuel lines must be adequately secured and free of
leaks. Fuel connection at the engine should be
made with an approved flexible line. Do not use zinc
coated or copper fuel lines with diesel fuel.
• Be sure all fuel supplies have a positive shutoff
valve.
• Be sure battery area has been well-ventilated prior
to servicing near it. Lead-acid batteries emit a highly
explosive hydrogen gas that can be ignited by arcing, sparking, smoking, etc.
EXHAUST GASES ARE DEADLY
Provide an adequate exhaust system to properly
•
expel discharged gases away from enclosed or
sheltered areas and areas where individuals are
likely to congregate. Visually and audibly inspect
the exhaust daily for leaks per the maintenance
schedule. Make sure that exhaust manifolds are secured and not warped. Do not use exhaust gases to
heat a compartment.
• Be sure the unit is well ventilated.
• Engine exhaust and some of its constituents are
known to the state of California to cause cancer,
birth defects, and other reproductive harm.
MOVING PARTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH
•
Keep your hands, clothing, and jewelry away from
moving parts.
• Before starting work on the generator set, discon-
nect battery charger from its AC source, then disconnect starting batteries, negative (−) cable first.
This will prevent accidental starting.
• Make sure that fasteners on the generator set are
secure. Tighten supports and clamps, keep guards
in position over fans, drive belts, etc.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry in the vicinity of
moving parts, or while working on electrical equipment. Loose clothing and jewelry can become
caught in moving parts.
• If adjustment must be made while the unit is run-
ning, use extreme caution around hot manifolds,
moving parts, etc.
DO NOT OPERATE IN FLAMMABLE AND
EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS
Flammable vapor can cause an engine to overspeed and
become difficult to stop, resulting in possible fire, explosion, severe personal injury and death. Do not operate a
genset where a flammable vapor environment can be
created by fuel spill, leak, etc., unless the genset is
equipped with an automatic safety device to block the air
intake and stop the engine. The owners and operators of
the genset are solely responsible for operating the genset safely. Contact your authorized Onan/Cummins dealer or distributor for more information.

Redistribution or publication of this documentby any means, is strictly prohibited.
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH
•
Remove electric power before removing protective
shields or touching electrical equipment. Use rubber insulative mats placed on dry wood platforms
over floors that are metal or concrete when around
electrical equipment. Do not wear damp clothing
(particularly wet shoes) or allow skin surface to be
damp when handling electrical equipment. Do not
wear jewelry. Jewelry can short out electrical contacts and cause shock or burning.
• Use extreme caution when working on electrical
components. High voltages can cause injury or
death. DO NOT tamper with interlocks.
• Follow all applicable state and local electrical
codes. Have all electrical installations performed by
a qualified licensed electrician. Tag and lock open
switches to avoid accidental closure.
• DO NOT CONNECT GENERATOR SET DIRECT-
LY TO ANY BUILDING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
Hazardous voltages can flow from the generator set
into the utility line. This creates a potential for electrocution or property damage. Connect only
through an approved isolation switch or an approved paralleling device.
MEDIUM VOLTAGE GENERATOR SETS
(601V to 15kV)
Medium voltage acts differently than low voltage.
•
Special equipment and training is required to work
on or around medium voltage equipment. Operation
and maintenance must be done only by persons
trained and qualified to work on such devices. Improper use or procedures will result in severe personal injury or death.
• Do not work on energized equipment. Unauthorized
personnel must not be permitted near energized
equipment. Due to the nature of medium voltage
electrical equipment, induced voltage remains even
after the equipment is disconnected from the power
source. Plan the time for maintenance with authorized personnel so that the equipment can be de-energized and safely grounded.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Coolants under pressure have a higher boiling point
•
than water. DO NOT open a radiator or heat exchanger pressure cap while the engine is running.
Allow the generator set to cool and bleed the system
pressure first.
•Used engine oils have been identified by some state
or federal agencies as causing cancer or reproductive toxicity . When checking or changing engine oil,
take care not to ingest, breathe the fumes, or contact used oil.
•Keep multi-class ABC fire extinguishers handy.
Class A fires involve ordinary combustible materials
such as wood and cloth; Class B fires, combustible
and flammable liquid fuels and gaseous fuels; Class
C fires, live electrical equipment. (ref. NFP A No. 10).
•Make sure that rags are not left on or near the en-
gine.
•Make sure generator set is mounted in a manner to
prevent combustible materials from accumulating
under the unit.
•Remove all unnecessary grease and oil from the
unit. Accumulated grease and oil can cause overheating and engine damage which present a potential fire hazard.
•Keep the generator set and the surrounding area
clean and free from obstructions. Remove any debris from the set and keep the floor clean and dry.
•Do not work on this equipment when mentally or
physically fatigued, or after consuming any alcohol
or drug that makes the operation of equipment unsafe.
•Substances in exhaust gases have been identified
by some state or federal agencies as causing cancer or reproductive toxicity. Take care not to breath
or ingest or come into contact with exhaust gases.
•Do not store any flammable liquids, such as fuel,
cleaners, oil, etc., near the generator set. A fire or
explosion could result.
•Wear hearing protection when going near an oper-
ating generator set.
•To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot
metal parts such as radiator, turbo charger and exhaust system.

AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR
Redistribution or publication of this documentby any means, is strictly prohibited.
Redistribution or publication of this documentby any means, is strictly prohibited.
(AVR) ADJUSTMENTS
Check and readjust the VOLTS pot, if necessary,
each time the STABILITY pot is readjusted.
The automatic voltage regulator is mounted on the
back wall of the control cabinet. It can be adjusted
by means of the potentiometers (pots) shown in Figure 2-2 or 2-3. Figures 2-4 and 2-5 show typical voltage regulating circuits.
These measurements and adjustments are done
while the set is running and require access to uninsulated high voltage parts in the control and power
output boxes.
HIGH VOLTAGE. Touching uninsulated high voltage parts inside the control and
power output boxes can result in severe personal injury or death. Measurements and adjustments must be done with care to avoid
touching high voltage parts.
For your protection, stand on a dry wooden platform or rubber insulating mat, make sure your
clothing and shoes are dry , remove jewelry from
your hands and wear elbow length insulating
gloves.
Jumper Reconnections
Jumpers provide for reconnections to adapt the
voltage regulator to the application. See Figure 2-2.
Reconnect the response jumper, if necessary, so
that terminal A connects to terminal C if generator
output is 90 kW o r less, B to C if generator output is
greater than 90 kW but less than 550 kW and A to B
if output is greater than 550kW. Reconnect the frequency jumper, if necessary, to correspond to the
application frequency.
Voltage and Voltage Stability Adjustments
Use the control panel mounted voltage trimmer, if
provided, for small voltage adjustments. Measure
generator output voltage while the set is running
without load at the nominal frequency. If the trimmer
does not provide enough adjustment, lock it at its
midpoint. Then turn the VOLTS pot fully counter-
clockwise and the STABILITY pot to its midpoint. If
the red LED (light emitting diode) on the board
lights, refer to Jumper Reconnections and to UFRO
Adjustments. Then turn the VOLTS pot clockwise
until rated voltage is obtained. If voltage becomes
unstable when a large load is connected, turn the
STABILITY pot clockwise until voltage is stable.
UFRO Adjustments
The voltage regulator has an under-frequency
protection circuit having a threshold frequency that
can be preset (typically at 59 Hz for 60 Hz applications and 49 Hz for 50 Hz applications). The red
LED on the board lights when frequency dips below
the threshold. The threshold frequency is preset by
turning the UFRO (under frequency roll off) pot
clockwise to raise it and counterclockwise to lower
it. Determine threshold frequency by lowering generator frequency until the LED lights. Note that Dip
and Dwell adjustments, below, are related.
Dip Adjustments
The DIP pot adjusts the voltage vs. frequency slope
of the generator for frequencies below the threshold
preset by the UFRO pot. Turning the DIP pot clockwise increases the slope (for greater voltage roll off
as frequency drops), making it easier for the engine
to pick up a large load, but also increasing the voltage dip. The generator voltage vs. frequency slope
is the same above and below the threshold frequency when the pot is turned fully counterclockwise.
Dwell Adjustments
The DWELL pot times voltage recovery when frequency dips below the preset threshold. Clockwise
adjustment increases dwell time. Full counterclockwise adjustment eliminates dwell, in which case,
voltage recovery follows engine speed recovery.
Droop Adjustments
The DROOP pot is for adjusting the input signal
from the droop compensating CT in paralleling applications. DROOP is preset at the factory for five
percent droop at full load and zero power factor.
V / Trim Adjustments
The V / Trim pot is for adjusting the input signal from
a VAR / PF controller in utility paralleling applications. Full clockwise adjustment is normal, resulting
in maximum sensitivity . The auxiliary controller has
no effect when the pot is turned fully counterclockwise.
EXC, OVER V, I / LIMIT, STAB/1and RMS
These pots are factory preset and do not require adjustment.

PRINCIPLE OF GENERATOR OPERATION
Redistribution or publication of this documentby any means, is strictly prohibited.
Redistribution or publication of this documentby any means, is strictly prohibited.
1. The generator field (main rotor) is rotated by
the engine to induce output current (AC) in the
main stator windings.
2. Generator output current is proportional to field
strength, which is varied to match the load.
Output voltage and frequency are held
constant by the voltage regulator and engine
governor, respectively.
3. Generator field strength is proportional to field
current, which is supplied by the exciter.
4. The exciter field (stator) induces current in the
exciter rotor windings. A full wave rectifier
bridge (rotating rectifiers) mounted on the exciter rotor converts exciter output (3-phase AC)
to DC. The exciter rotor is mounted on the main
rotor shaft.
PMG-EXCITED GENERATORS
5. Exciter output current is proportional to exciter
field current.
6. The automatic voltage regulator (AVR) regulates exciter field current by comparing generator output voltage and frequency with reference values.
7. PMG-Excited Generators. Exciter field current is supplied by a PMG (permanent magnet)
exciter through the voltage regulator . The PMG
consists of a stator and a permanent magnet
rotor mounted on the end of the main rotor
shaft.
8. Self-Excited Generators. Exciter field current
is supplied by the generator stator through the
voltage regulator. Residual field magnetism initiates “self-excitation” during startups.

CONTROL BOX INTERIOR
Figure 3-4 shows the arrangement of components
inside the control box, including the engine control
monitor and some of the auxiliary components under following headings.
ENGINE CONTROL MONITOR (A11)
The heart of the engine control system is the engine
control monitor (ECM). It is a printed circuit board
assembly mounted on the back wall of the control
box. It starts and stops the engine in response to the
control panel switches, engine sensors and remote
control signals. Figure 3-5 shows the newer ECM
board used in current production and as a direct replacement for older boards. The boards are distinquishable from each other in that the newer boards
have automotive-type fuses and the older boards
have cartridge-type fuses.
Terminals and Connectors
See Pages 9-7 through 9-10 for the appropriate
connection and schematic drawings for the DC control system. See Page 9-16 for typical customer

Auxiliary Relay Board (ARB)
Redistribution or publication of this documentby any means, is strictly prohibited.
Redistribution or publication of this documentby any means, is strictly prohibited.
The following describes the design/functional criteria for the auxiliary relay board (ARB) with a Detector-7 or -12 Genset control. The board is mounted
directly on top of the ECM using standoffs and has
access holes for the fuses located on the ECM.
There are two versions of the ARB; with and without
the set of 12 Fault relays (Figure 3-14). Page 9-17 is
a detailed connection diagram for the ARB.
The set might instead be equipped with separate
run and alarm relay modules. If so, see Run Relay
(K11) and Alarm Relay Modules (A13 and A14).
Terminal Blocks:
• TB1 − ARB TB1 and ECM TB1 are identically
numbered and provide the same remote control connection points. Note that additional terminals are provided for terminals 5, 7, and 10 of
ARB TB1.
• TB2 through TB5 − Connection points for re-
lays K1 through K3. TB2 provides the N/O and
N/C connections (three form ‘C’ contacts for
each relay). TB3 through TB5 provide the common connection points (TB3 for K1, TB4 for K2
and TB5 for K3).
• TB6 and TB7 − Connection points for fault re-
lays K4 through K15. Three terminals are provided for each relay, which are labeled COM,
N/C, N/O.
Plug-In Relays (K1, K2, K3):
equipped with one to three 3-pole, double-throw relays. These relays (K1, K2, K3) are field changeable
plug-in relays for easy field addition and replacement.
Each relay can be operated as a RUN, COMMON
ALARM, or ISOLATED COIL with the changing of a
jumper.
The relay contact ratings are:
The ARB can be
• 10 amps at 28 VDC or 120 VAC, 80% PF
• 6 amps at 240 VAC, 80% PF
• 3 amps at 480 VAC, 80% PF
Jumper Positions for Plug-In Relays:
W1, W2 and W3 perform the same functions for
Jumpers
their respective relays, W1 for relay K1, W2 for relay
K2, and W3 for relay K3. They can be located in any
of 3 positions (A, B, C) independently of each other.
• Jumper Position A (Run) − The relay oper-
ates as a Run relay, energizing when SW B+ is
applied from the ECM.
• Jumper Position B (Common Alarm) − The
relay operates as a Common Alarm relay. The
relay energizes any time there is an engine
shutdown. This signal is provided from the
ECM.
• Jumper Position C (Isolated) − The relay op-
erates as an Isolated relay. The relay coil is energized by a customer applied B+ signal
through the terminal block; TB3-1 for relay K1,
TB4-1 for relay K2, and TB5-1 for relay K3.
Jumpers W11, W12, and W13 perform the same
functions for their respective relays; W11 for relay
K1, W12 for relay K2, and W13 for relay K3. They
can be located in two different positions (A, B) independently of one another.
• Jumper Position A − The relay operates iso-
lated from the board. The customer provides
the circuit completion through terminal block;
TB3 for relay K1, TB4-5 for relay K2, and TB5-5
for relay K3. The customer can operate the
relay with switched ground logic or use this
relay in the middle of more complex logic circuits if needed.
• Jumper Position B − The relays operate with
the coils connected to ground through the
board connections. The coil will require a B+
signal to energize with the jumper in this position.
Fault Relays (K4 through K15):
relay modules are used to operate a remote alarm
annunciator that has an independent power source.
This allows the use of either AC or DC for alarm
drives. The relays are energized through the latching relays on the ECM and provided N/O and N/C
contacts for each external alarm connection.
The 12 relays with form ‘C’ contacts are rated:
These optional
• 10 Amp, 120 VAC
• 10 Amp. 30 VDC

Over / Under Voltage Module (A17)
Redistribution or publication of this documentby any means, is strictly prohibited.
Redistribution or publication of this documentby any means, is strictly prohibited.
The set can be equipped with an adjustable voltage-sensitive relay usually connected into the Fault1 circuit (Detector-12 controls only) to shut down
the set when the output voltage is over or under
nominal voltage by the preselected percentage
(typically 10 percent over and under).
With the module is an adjustable time delay relay
(K17) to prevent nuisance tripping. An adjustment
of 25 percent is equivalent to about 2.5 seconds
delay.
Recalibrate the module as follows before installing
it on 139/240 VAC or 277/480 VAC sets.
1. Remove the two screws that secure the top to
the case of the module and withdraw the top
assembly.
2. Adjust the SET pot for the UNDER setpoint on
the face of the top assembly to 75 percent.
3. Apply single-phase, 60 Hertz, 104.25 VAC
across terminals L and N.
4. Adjust pot R25 on the PC board until the relay
trips (de-energizes).
5. Adjust the SET pot for the OVER setpoint on
the face of the top assembly to 125 percent.
6. Apply single-phase, 60 Hertz, 173.75 VAC
across terminals L and N.
7. Adjust pot R26 on the PC board until the relay
trips (energizes).
8. Repeat the above steps until no adjustments
are necessary.
9. Reassemble the module.
10. On the module nameplate mark out the factory
calibration value for monitored voltage (120 V)
and write in 139 V.

Over / Under Frequency Module (A19)
The set can be equipped with an adjustable frequency-sensitive relay to shut down the set when
the output frequency (Hz) is over or under nominal
frequency by the preselected amount. It is usually
connected into the Fault 2 circuit (Detector-12 con-
trols only) if the over / under voltage module is also
provided. Set points are typically 5 Hertz over and
under nominal frequency (50 or 60 Hertz) and reset
points 3 Hertz over and under.
