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 Cummins Power
Generation distributor for more information.

Redistribution or publication of this document,
by 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.
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.

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Redistribution or publication of this document,
by any means, is strictly prohibited.
These installation recommendations apply to typical installations with standard model generator
sets. Whenever possible, these recommendations
also cover factory designed options or modifications. However, because of the many variables in
any installation, it is not possible to provide specific
recommendations for every situation. If there are
any questions not answered by this manual, contact
your nearest Cummins Power Generation distributor for assistance.
Application and Installation
installed, maintained, and operated. However, the
overall safety and reliability of the complete system
is dependent on many factors outside the control of
the generator set manufacturer. To avoid possible
safety hazards, make all mechanical and electrical
connections to the generator set exactly as specified in this manual. All systems external to the generator (fuel, exhaust, electrical, etc.) must comply
with all applicable codes. Make certain all required
inspections and tests have been completed and all
code requirements have been satisfied before certifying the installation is complete and ready for service.
A standby power system must be carefully planned
and correctly installed for proper operation. This involves two essential elements: application and
installation.
Application (as it applies to generator set installations) refers to the design of the complete standby
power system that usually includes power distribution equipment, transfer switches, ventilation equipment, mounting pads, and cooling, exhaust, and
fuel systems. Each component must be correctly
designed so the complete system will function as intended. Application and design is an engineering
function generally done by specifying engineers or
other trained specialists. Specifying engineers or
other trained specialists are responsible for the design of the complete standby system and for selecting the materials and products required.
Installation refers to the actual set-up and assembly of the standby power system. The installers set
up and connect the various components of the system as specified in the system design plan. The
complexity of the standby system normally requires
the special skills of qualified electricians, plumbers,
sheetmetal workers, etc. to complete the various
segments of the installation. This is necessary so all
components are assembled using standard methods and practices.
Safety Considerations
The generator set has been carefully designed to
provide safe and efficient service when properly
Standby Heating Devices
In accordance with NFPA 110, Cummins Power
Generation recommends installing diesel standby
generator sets (life safety systems) equipped with
engine jacket water coolant heaters in locations
where the minimum ambient temperature is above
40
°F (4°C). NFPA also requires that the engine
jacket water coolant be maintained at a minimum of
°F (32°C) and, for most applications, accept the
90
emergency load in 10 seconds or less. Although
most Cummins Power Generation generator sets
will start in temperatures down to −25
when equipped with engine jacket water coolant
heaters, it might take more than 10 seconds to
warm the engine up before a load can be applied
when ambient temperatures are below 40
The Engine Cold (Code 1435) message, in con-
junction with illumination of the Warning LED, is provided to meet the requirements of NFPA 110. The
engine cold sensing logic initiates a warning when
the engine jacket water coolant temperature falls
below 70
ent temperature falls below 40
°F (21°C). In applications where the ambi-
°F (4°C), a cold en-
gine may be indicated even though the coolant
heaters are connected. Under these conditions, although the generator set may start, it may not be
able to accept load within 10 seconds. When this
condition occurs, check the coolant heaters for
proper operation. If the coolant heaters are operating properly, other precautions may be necessary to
warm the engine before applying a load.

3. Mounting the Generator Set
Redistribution or publication of this document,
by any means, is strictly prohibited.
GENERAL
Generator set installations must be engineered so
the generator set will function properly under the expected load conditions. Use these instructions as a
general guide only. Follow the instructions of the
consulting engineer when locating or installing any
components. The complete installation must comply with all local and state building codes, fire ordinances, and other applicable regulations.
Requirements to be considered prior to installation:
• Level mounting surface
• Adequate cooling air
• Adequate fresh induction air
• Discharge of generator set air
• Discharge of exhaust gases
• Non-combustible mounting surface.
• Electrical connections
• Accessibility for operation and servicing
• Noise levels
• Vibration isolation
LOCATION
Generator set location is decided mainly by related
systems such as ventilation, wiring, fuel, and exhaust. The set should be located as near as possible to the main power breaker box. Exhaust must
not be able to enter or accumulate around inhabited
areas.
Provide a location away from extreme ambient temperatures and protect the generator set from adverse weather conditions.
WARNING
INCORRECT INSTALLATION, SERVICE OR PARTS REPLACEMENT CAN RESULT IN SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE. SERVICE PERSONNEL MUST
BE TRAINED AND EXPERIENCED TO PERFORM ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL COMPONENT INSTALLATION.
IMPORTANT
DEPENDING ON Y O U R L O C ATION AND INTENDED USE, FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL LAWS
AND REGULATIONS MAY REQUIRE YOU TO OBTAIN AN AIR QUALITY EMISSIONS PERMIT
BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION OF YOUR GENSET. BE SURE TO CONSULT LOCAL

MOVING
Redistribution or publication of this document,
by any means, is strictly prohibited.
WARNING
vere personal injury or death. Use extreme caution when lifting, hoisting, or moving the generator set. Make certain to use a hoist or other lifting device whose capacity is rated well above
the weight of the generator set. The generator
sets models listed on the front cover of this
manual can weigh 9800 pounds (4445 kgs) (refer to Specification Sheet for Model weight).
Make certain that the maximum lifting capacity
of the hoist exceeds the weight of the generator
set by a large margin. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully regarding the weight
capacity of the hoist and the recommended
hoisting procedure.
Generator set weight can cause se-
When lifting, hoisting, or moving the generator set,
use only the lifting eyes (optional) or skid lifting
holes as shown in Figure 3-1. Do not attach lifting
device to brackets on engine or generator.
These brackets are only used and designed for the
removal of the engine or the generator from the
generator set.
WARNING
Improper genset lifting can cause
severe personal injury or death. Do not use engine or generator lift brackets to move or hoist
the generator set. Brackets are designed for
weight of engine or generator only. When moving or lifting genset, use skid eye brackets/

MOUNTING
Redistribution or publication of this document,
by any means, is strictly prohibited.
Generator sets are mounted on a steel skid or fuel
tank that provide proper support. The engine-generator assembly is isolated from the skid frame by
rubber mounts that provide adequate vibration
isolation for normal installations. Where required by
building codes or special isolation needs, generator
sets may be mounted on rubber pads or mechanical
spring isolators. The use of unapproved isolators
may result in harmful resonances and may void the
genset warranty.
For fuel tank mounted generator sets, it is required
that the tank be mounted such that an air space is
provided between the bottom of the tank and the
floor underneath to reduce corrosion and permit
visual inspections for leaks.
Mount the generator set on a substantial and level
base such as a concrete pad. A non-combustible
material must be used for the pad.
Use 5/8 inch or 16 mm anchored mounting bolts to
secure the vibration isolators to the base. Secure
the vibration isolators using flat or bevel washer and
hexagonal nut for each bolt (see Figure 3-1). The
1-1/2 x 6 inch pipe inserted over the mounting bolts
allows minor adjustment of the bolts to align them to
the holes in the subbase or vibration isolator.

ACCESS TO SET
Generally, at least 1 meter (3 feet) of clearance
should be provided on all sides of the generator set
for maintenance and service access. A raised
foundation or slab of 150 mm (6 inches) or more
above floor level will make servicing easier.
Lighting should be adequate for operation, maintenance and service operations and should be connected on the load side of the transfer switch so that
it is available at all times.

Installation and Adjustment Procedure
1. Place the vibration isolators (Figure 3-4) on the
genset support structure. The isolators should
be shimmed or grouted to ensure that all of the
isolator bases are within 0.25 inch (6 mm)
elevation of each other. The surface that the
isolator bases rest on must also be flat and level.
2. Loosen the side snubber lock nuts so that the
top plate of the isolator is free to move vertically
and horizontally. Be sure that the top plate is
correctly aligned with the base and springs.
3. Place the genset onto the isolators while aligning the skid’s mounting with the threaded isolator hole. The top plates will move down and approach the base of the isolator as load is applied.
4. Once the genset is in position, the isolators
may require adjusting so that the set is level.
The isolators are adjusted by inserting the leveling bolt through the skid and into the isolator
(the leveling bolt’s locking nut should be
threaded up towards the bolt head).
The leveling bolt will adjust the clearance between the top plate and the isolator base. A
nominal clearance of 0.25 inch (6 mm) or greater is desired. This will provide sufficient clearance for the rocking that occurs during startup
and shutdown. If the 0.25 inch (6 mm) clearance is not present, turn the leveling bolt until
the desired clearance is achieved.
5. The genset may not be level yet; therefore, adjust the leveling bolts until the set is level and
sufficient clearance still remains. (Clearance
on all isolators should be roughly equal). Once
all isolators have been set, lock the leveling bolt
in place with the lock nut.
6. The snubber nuts must remain loose and
therefore provide better isolation between the
genset and support structure.

GENERAL
The generator set mechanical system installation
includes connecting the fuel, exhaust, ventilation
and cooling systems. Before starting any type of
fuel installation, all pertinent state and local codes
must be complied with and the installation must be
inspected before the unit is put in service.
FUEL SYSTEM
Cummins engines normally use ASTM No. 2 diesel
fuel. They will, however , operate on alternate diesel
fuels within the specifications shown in the Cummins engine
In all fuel system installations, cleanliness is of the
upmost importance. Make every effort to prevent
entrance of moisture, dirt or contaminants of any
kind into the fuel system. Clean all fuel system components before installing.
A fuel filter/strainer/water separator of 100-120 mesh
or equivalent (approximately 150 microns nominal)
must be fitted between either the main tank and day
tank or between the main tank and the engine.
Use only compatible metal fuel lines to avoid electrolysis when fuel lines must be buried. Buried fuel
lines must be protected from corrosion.
CAUTION
lines, fittings or fuel tanks. Condensation in the
tank and lines combines with the sulfur in diesel
fuel to produce sulfuric acid. The molecular
structure of the copper or galvanized lines or
tanks reacts with the acid and contaminates the
fuel.
Operation and Maintenance Manual.
Never use galvanized or copper fuel
An electric solenoid valve in the supply line is recommended for all installations and required for indoor automatic or remote starting installations.
Connect the solenoid wires to TB3-5 and TB3-6
(see Customer Connections, Section 9) which provide switched B+ that opens the valve during genset
operation and closes the valve 10 seconds after a
stop signal is received. This 10 second delay keeps
the fuel line open during genset shutdown (normal
or warning) sequence. If the valve is allowed to
close before the engine stops, hard starts and possible damage to the engine can occur.
CAUTION
Hard starts or engine damage will
occur if fuel supply solenoid is not connected to
the Delayed Switched B+ circuit. Fuel supply
line must remain open until engine has completely stopped.
Separate fuel return lines to the day tank or supply
tank must be provided for each generator set in a
multiple-set installation to prevent the return lines of
idle sets from being pressurized. Fuel return lines
must not contain a shutoff device. Engine damage
will occur if the engine is run with the return fuel lines
blocked or restricted.
CAUTION
Never install shutoff device in fuel
return line(s). If fuel return line(s) is blocked or
exceeds fuel restriction limit, engine damage
will occur.
Fuel Return Restriction (or Pressure) Limit: Fuel
return drain restriction (consisting of friction head
and static head) between the engine injector return
line connection and the fuel tank must not exceed
the limit stated in the
Specification
section.
4-1
Fuel Lines − Routing
Redistribution or publication of this document,
by any means, is strictly prohibited.
A flexible fuel hose(s) or section of flexible fuel
hose(s) must be used between the engine’s fuel
system and fuel supply and return line(s) to protect
the fuel system from damage caused by vibration,
expansion and contraction. Flexible lines for connecting between the engine and the stationary fuel
lines are supplied as standard equipment.
Installation of the fuel hose must be done according
to all applicable codes and standards, and installation recommendations provided by the manufacturer. The supplied flexible hose is approved by the
hose manufacture for use with the genset fuel type
and product application.
Support fuel lines to restrain movement and prevent
chaffing or contact with sharp edges, electrical wiring and hot exhaust parts.
WARNING
Sparks and hot surfaces can ignite
fuel, leading to severe personal injury or death.
Do not route fuel lines near electrical wiring or
hot exhaust parts.
Fuel lines must be routed and secured to maintain a
1/2 inch (12.7 mm) minimum clearance from electrical wiring and a 2 inch (51 mm) minimum clearance
from hot exhaust parts.
Engine Fuel Connections
Identification tags are attached to the fuel supply
line and fuel return line connections.
Supply Tank
Locate the f uel tank as close as possible to the generator set and within the restriction limitations of the
fuel pump.
Install a fuel tank that has sufficient capacity to supply the genset operating continuously at full rated
load for the planned period of operation or power
outage. Refer to the
Specification
section for fuel
consumption data.
WARNING
Fuel leaks create fire and explosion
hazards which can result in severe personal injury or death. Always use flexible tubing between engine and fuel supply to avoid line failure and leaks due to vibration. The fuel system
must meet applicable codes.
If the fuel inlet restriction exceeds the defined limit
due to the distance/customer-supplied plumbing
between the genset and the main fuel tank, a transfer tank (referred to as a day tank) and auxiliary
pump will also be required. If an overhead main fuel
tank is installed, a transfer tank and float valve will
be required to prevent fuel head pressures from being placed on the fuel system components.
For critical start applications, where generator sets
are paralleled or must satisfy emergency start-time
requirements, it is recommended that a fuel tank or
reservoir be located such that the lowest possible
fuel level is not less than 6 inches (150 mm) above
the fuel pump inlet. This will prevent air from accumulating in the fuel line while the set is in standby,
eliminating the period during startup when it has to
be purged.
Fuel Inlet Pressure/Restriction Limit: Engine
performance and fuel system durability will be compromised if the fuel inlet pressure or restriction limits
are not adhered to. Fuel inlet pressure or restriction
must not exceed the limits stated in the
tion
section.
Specifica-
4-2
Day Tank (If Used)
Redistribution or publication of this document,
by any means, is strictly prohibited.
Fuel day tanks are used when fuel inlet restriction
limits can not be met, or the supply tank is overhead
and presents problems of high fuel head pressure
for the fuel inlet and return lines.
Supply T ank Lower Than Engine:
lation, the day tank is installed near the generator
set, below the fuel injection system and within the
fuel inlet restriction limit. Install an auxiliary fuel
pump, to pump fuel from the supply tank to the day
tank. A float switch in the day tank controls operation of the auxiliary fuel pump.
The supply tank top must be below the day tank top
to prevent siphoning from the fuel supply to the day
tank.
Provide a return line from the engine injection system return connection to the day tank. Plumb the re-
With this instal-
turn line to the bottom of day tank as shown in Figure 4-1. Provide a day tank overflow line to the supply tank in case the float switch fails to shut off the
fuel transfer pump. Also, the overflow line should be
one pipe diameter larger than the supply line.
WARNING
Spilled fuel presents the hazard of
fire or explosion which can result in severe personal injury or death. Provide an overflow line
to the supply tank from the day tank.
Supply Tank Higher Than Engine:
Install the day
tank near the generator set, but below the fuel injection system. Use fuel line at least as large as the fuel
pump inlet. The engine fuel return line must enter
the day tank.
Include a shutoff valve in the fuel line between the
fuel supply tank and the day tank to stop fuel flow
when the generator set is off.
WARNING
Spilled fuel can create environmental hazards. Check local requirements for containment
and prevention of draining to sewer and ground water.

Pipe exhaust gases to the outside of any enclosure.
Locate the exhaust outlets away from any air inlets
to avoid gases re-entering the enclosure. Exhaust
installations are subject to various detrimental conditions such as extreme heat, infrequent operation
and light loads. Regularly inspect the exhaust system both visually and audibly to see that the entire
system remains fume tight and safe for operation.
WARNING
sult in severe personal injury or death. Use extreme care during installation to provide a tight
exhaust system. Terminate exhaust pipe away
from enclosed or sheltered areas, windows,
doors and vents.
For indoor installation, the exhaust system must
use sealed joint type fittings, (for example NPT fittings) to provide a tighter exhaust system. Use of
slip type fittings (secured with a muffler clamp) may
allow leakage of exhaust gases into the building.
WARNING
sult in severe personal injury or death. Use extreme care during installation to provide a tight
exhaust system. Use NPT or equivalent type fittings for all indoor installations.
Use an approved thimble (Figure 4-2) where exhaust pipes pass through wall or partitions. Insulated wall/roof thimbles are used where exhaust
pipes pass through a combustible roof or wall. This
includes structures, such as wood framing or insulated steel decking, etc. Uninsulated wall/roof
thimbles are used where exhaust pipes pass
through a non-combustible wall or roof, such as
concrete. Refer to NFPA 37, Section 6-3. “Stationary Combustion Engines and Gas Turbines” for ac-

code requirements in effect at the installation site.
WARNING
Hot exhaust pipes can start a fire
and cause severe injury or death if improperly
routed through walls. Use an approved thimble
where exhaust pipes pass through walls or
partitions.
WARNING
Inhalation of exhaust gases can result in severe personal injury or death. Do not
use exhaust heat to warm a room, compartment
or storage area.
Rain caps are available for the discharge end of vertical exhaust pipes. The rain cap clamps onto the
end of the pipe and opens due to exhaust discharge
force from the generator set. When the generator
set is stopped, the rain cap automatically closes,
protecting the exhaust system from rain, snow, etc.
Use a section of flexible exhaust pipe between the
engine and remainder of exhaust system. Support
exhaust system to prevent weight from being applied to engine exhaust outlet elbow/turbocharger
connection.
CAUTION
Weight applied to the engine manifold can result in turbocharger damage. Support the muffler and exhaust piping so no
weight or stress is applied to engine exhaust el bow.
The exhaust system design should meet local code
requirements.
Liability for injury, death, damage, and warranty expense due to use of unapproved mufflers or modifications becomes the responsibility of the person
installing the unapproved muffler or performing the
modification. Contact a Cummins Power Generation
distributor for approved exhaust system parts.

VENTILATION AND COOLING
Redistribution or publication of this document,
by any means, is strictly prohibited.
Generator sets create considerable heat that must
be removed by proper ventilation. Outdoor installations normally rely on natural air circulation but indoor installations need properly sized and positioned vents for required airflow.
Vents and Ducts
For indoor installations, locate vents so incoming air
passes through the immediate area of the installation before exhausting. Install the air outlet higher
than the air inlet to allow for convection air movement.
Size the vents and ducts so they are large enough to
allow the required flow rate of air . The ”free area” of
ducts must be as large as the exposed area of the
radiator. Refer to the genset
flow requirements and allowed airflow restriction.
Data Sheet
for the air-
PREVAILING WINDSPREVAILING WINDS
Wind will restrict free airflow if it blows directly into
the air outlet vent. Locate the outlet vent so the effects of wind are eliminated. See Figure 4-4.
Dampers
Dampers or louvres protect the genset and equipment room from the outside environment. Their operation of opening and closing should be controlled
by operation of the genset.
In cooler climates movable or discharge dampers
are used. These dampers allow the air to be recirculated back to the equipment room. This enables the
equipment room to be heated while the genset engine is still cold, increasing the engine efficiency.

Radiator Set Requirements
Redistribution or publication of this document,
by any means, is strictly prohibited.
Radiator set cooling air is drawn past the control
end of the set by a pusher fan that blows air through
the radiator (Figure 4-5). Locate the air inlet to the to
the rear of the set. Make the inlet vent opening 1-1/2
to 2 times larger than the radiator area.
Louvers and screens over air inlet and outlet openings restrict air flow and vary widely in performance.
A louver assembly with narrow vanes, for example,
tends to be more restrictive than one with wide
vanes. The effective open area specified by the louver or screen manufacturer should be used.
Locate the cooling air outlet directly in front of the radiator and as close as possible. The outlet opening
THERMOSTATIC AIR RE-
CIRCULATING DAMPER
must be at least as large as the radiator area.
Length and shape of the air outlet duct should offer
minimum restriction to airflow.
Attach a canvas or sheet metal duct to the flange
and the air outlet opening using screws and nuts so
duct can be removed for maintenance purposes.
The duct prevents circulation of heated air. Before
installing the duct, remove the radiator core guard.
Coolant Heater (Optional)
An optional coolant heater can be installed to keep
the engine warm for starting under adverse weather
conditions. Connect the heater to a power source
that will be on when the engine is NOT running.

WARNING
Each of the operations described in
this section should be done only by persons
trained and experienced in electrical maintenance. Improper procedures may result in property damage, bodily injury or death.
Connecting the genset AC electrical system involves:
• Installation of transfer switch
• Generator output voltage selection
• Load cable connection
• Standard and optional AC equipment connec-
tions (e.g., control box heater, coolant heater,
etc.
• Optional enclosure electrical connections (re-
fer to
Section 7
Local regulations often require that wiring connections be made by a licensed electrician, and that the
installation be inspected and approved before operation. All connections, wire sizes, materials used,
etc. must conform to the requirements of electrical
codes in effect at the installation site.
).
Ventilate battery area before working on or near
battery—Wear goggles—Stop genset and disconnect charger before disconnecting battery
cables—Disconnect negative (−) cable first and
reconnect last.
CAUTION
Disconnect battery charger from AC
source before disconnecting battery cables.
Otherwise, disconnecting cables can result in
voltage spikes damaging to DC control circuits
of the set.
WARNING
Accidental starting of the generator
set can cause severe personal injury or death.
Prevent accidental starting by disconnecting
the negative (−) cable from the battery terminal.
WARNING
Improper wiring can cause a fire or
electrocution, resulting in severe personal injury or death and/or property and equipment damage.
Before starting the genset, check to make sure that
all electrical connections are secure, and that all
wiring is complete. Replace and secure any access
panels that have been removed during installation.
Check that the load cables from the genset are
properly connected.
WARNING
Backfeed to utility system can
cause electrocution or property damage. Do
not connect to any building electrical system
except through an approved device and after
building main switch is opened.

TRANSFER SWITCH
Redistribution or publication of this document,
by any means, is strictly prohibited.
If the installation is for standby service, a transfer
switch must be used for switching the load from the
normal power source to the genset (see Figure 6-1).
Either a manual or automatic transfer switch may be
used. Follow the installation instructions provided
with the transfer switch when connecting the load
and control wiring.

Generator Voltage Connections
The available generator output voltages and maximum current ratings are specified on the generator
set nameplate. Line-to-neutral voltage is always the
lower voltage shown and line-to-line voltage is the
higher rating.
All loads are connected to the generator by bolting
stranded load wires to the appropriate terminals on
the generator reconnection terminal block or circuit
breaker lugs. The terminals are stamped U, V, W
and N to indicate the line and neutral connections.
(Reference: U, V, and W correspond with L1, L2 and
L3; and N with L0 respectively).
Load Balancing
These generators can be configured to the nameplate voltages as shown on the Reconnection Diagram located on the side access cover of the control
housing. Many of the voltages listed will require reconfiguration of the generator output leads on the
connection terminal block. This reconfiguration
must only be done by service personnel that are
trained and experienced to perform electrical installation. The generator set was adjusted to produce a
specified voltage during production verification testing prior to shipment. The installer must always
check the stator lead terminal block connections
and perform any necessary reconnect to obtain the
voltage required.
Some generator sets are capable of producing a
wide range of voltages and connection configurations, others have specific limited capabilities. Refer to wiring diagram and generator voltages (from
the nameplate) when reviewing the voltage connection information and use the wiring diagram supplied with your generator set when actually performing load connections.
CAUTION
Reconfiguring generator sets to
higher voltages can exceed the voltage capability of the specific generator windings and damage the generator and also decrease line current, rendering line circuit breakers too large.
Consult with your distributor before performing
reconnection for a different voltage.
CAUTION
Reconfiguring generator sets to
lower voltages can reduce generator set ratings, and also increase line current, rendering
line circuit breakers too small. Consult with
your distributor before performing reconnection for a different voltage.
Load Connections
Flexible conduit and stranded conductors must be
used for connections to take up movement of the
generator set.
When connecting loads to the generator set, balance the loads so the current flow from each line terminal (L1, L2 and L3) is about the same. This is especially important if both single phase and three
phase loads are connected. Any combination of
single phase and three phase loading can be used
as long as each line current is about the same, within 10 percent of median value and no line current exceeds the nameplate rating of the generator . Check
the current flow from each line after connections by
observing the control panel ammeter.
Current Transformers
Current transformers (CT’s) are required on gensets that contain AC meters. The CT’s must be
installed as noted in the following CT Installation
Requirements.
Refer to the Reconnection Diagram to identify the
output leads/phase that must be routed through
each CT, and also appropriate transformer post
selection for meter sensing leads. The transformers
are labeled CT21, CT22 and CT23 on the reconnection wiring diagram. (The Reconnection Diagram is located on the upper side cover of the control housing.)
CT Installation Requirements:
A. The CT has a dot on one side. This dot must be
facing toward the generator (conventional current flowing into the dot). A dot is also used to
indicate pin 1 of the CT.
B. CT21 − U load leads (A phase),
CT22 − V load leads (B phase)
CT23 − W load leads (C phase)
C. Route the appropriate load wires through each
CT.
D. The CT’s have dual secondaries (3 pins). The
CT secondary wire marked 1 is connected to
pin 1 of the CT. CT secondary wire marked 2/3
is connected to pin 2 for high voltage gensets or
to pin 3 for low voltage gensets. (Refer to Reconnection Diagram.)

Grounding
Redistribution or publication of this document,
by any means, is strictly prohibited.
The following is a brief description of system and
equipment grounding of permanently installed AC
generators within a facility wiring system. It is important to follow the requirements of the local electrical
code.
Figure 6-2 illustrates typical system grounding for a
3-pole and a 4-pole automatic transfer switch
(ATS). In the 3-pole ATS, note that the generator
neutral is connected to the ATS and is NOT bonded
to ground at the generator. In the 4-pole ATS system, a grounding electrode conductor and a bonding jumper are used to connect the generator neutral to ground.
Make sure the genset is grounded to earth in one
location only. On generators without a circuit breaker, ground to the point indicated on the top of the
generator. O n gensets with circuit breakers, use the
ground lug provided in the circuit breaker box.
WARNING
Electric current can cause severe
personal injury or death. Bonding and grounding must be done properly. All metallic parts
that could become energized under abnormal
conditions must be properly grounded.
Typical requirements for bonding and grounding
are given in the National Electrical Code, Article
250. All connections, wire sizes, etc. must conform
to the requirements of the electrical codes in effect
at the installation site.

InPower Capture File Description
InPower provides a method of extracting (capturing) a device’s parameter values. Capturing saves
device information in a file that is identified with a
.CAP extension.
Capture files are used to store a copy of the genset’s parameter values. During genset installation,
it is suggested that a capture file be made before
and after changes are made to the genset operating
parameters. This information can be a very useful
when troubleshooting the genset (determine if parameters/settings have been modified after installation) and when replacement of the Base board is
necessary. The capture file can be used as a template to write the previous settings to the new Base
board software.

All generator set configuration options are set at the
factory except for site related options, (e.g., Start/
Stop Delays, Cycle Crank, Customer Fault names,
etc.) and the optional Power T ransfer Control (PTC)
feature.
Adjustments of these options are divided into two
categories within the menu driven system. These
two categories are Setup and Adjust.
The following procedures describe how to modify
the Adjust submenu options and if installed, the
PTC Setup submenus, which are required to complete the genset installation.
The Adjust submenu allows you to calibrate the
generator set voltage/frequency and start/stop time
delays. For the prestart checks, adjustment of only
the start/stop delays is required.
The Setup submenus are intended for qualified service personnel only. The Adjust submenu is intended for qualified service and site personnel only.
For this reason, a separate password is required to
modify the Setup submenus. The Adjust submenu
may or may not require a password (site dependent).
CAUTION
Improper calibration or adjustment
of the control can cause equipment malfunction
or damage. Calibration and adjustment must be
performed by technically qualified personnel
only.
The PTC Setup submenus contain parameters with
adjustable default values that should be checked
and modified if necessary for this site. The descriptions in this section include ranges for the parameters and default values for this feature.

PTC Detailed Field Descrip-
U PT VOLT LL: Enter the value of the utility line-toline voltage which yields 100% voltage at the terminals of the utility (bus) PT module.
Range: 1−15000V, adjustable by standard nominal
voltage values, 100V, 10V and 1V increments (1V).
The 100% voltages for each of the four possible utility (bus) PT modules are as follows, based on module dash number:
−01 = 208 volts LL
−02 = 416 volts LL
−03 = 600 volts LL
−04 = 120 volts LL
U CT R ATIO: Enter the CT Ratio of the Utility L2 CT.
This is the Ratio to 1 Amp. Range: 1−18000 (1A).
CAUTION
This CT must be rated for 1 Amp
output (e.g. NOT 5 Amp). Be sure CT secondary
circuit has burden resistor or a shorting jumper
in place before putting power through the CT.
Example: CT Ratio = 2650:1. Thus enter 2650.
U SENSOR TYPE: Enter the line-to-line (L-N) for 3
phase line-neutral voltage sensing or line-to-line
(L-L) for 3 phase line-line voltage sensing. This applies to both the utility undervoltage and overvoltage sensors. Range: L−L, L−N (L−N).
U <wye> <delta>: Enter utility connection type.
Range: Delta, Wye (Wye).
U UNLOADED KW: Enter the kW on utility Line 2 at
which the utility is considered as unloaded. This is
the L2 kW level at which a closed transition soft
transfer will disconnect from the utility.
Nominal Utility voltage is 480V. This
means that utility (bus) PT module number −02
should be used. The voltage which will yield 100%
volts at this PT module is 416 per the above table.
Thus enter 416V.
Example 2:
Nominal Utility voltage is 4160V. A primary stage transformer with a ratio of 4200/240 is
used. This means that utility (bus) PT module number −01 should be used. The voltage which will yield
the 100% volts (208V from above table) is calculated as follows:
208 x (4200/240) = 3640. Thus enter 3640V.
U NOM VOLT LL: Enter the nominal utility line-toline voltage. For example, 480, 4160, etc.. Range:
1−15000 V, adjustable by standard nominal voltage
values, 100V, 10V and 1V increments (1V).

Transfer:
This transfer time delay begins when
genset voltage and frequency reach the settings of
the control. After the delay, the PTC transfers the
load to the utility. This brief time delay allows the
generator set to stabilize before the load is applied.
It has an adjustable range of 0 to 120 seconds. The

Under-Voltage Sensing
Redistribution or publication of this document,
by any means, is strictly prohibited.
Over-Voltage Sensing
The PTC feature includes under-voltage sensors
for the utility and the genset. When a sensor detects
a low voltage condition over a specified time period,
it initiates a transfer. When the source voltage returns to an acceptable value again, the sensor initiates a retransfer.
These parameters are adjustable. The under-voltage sensing range for a falling voltage (drop-out) is
75 to 98% of the pick-up voltage setting. The default
value is 90%. The pick-up range for a rising voltage
is 85 to 100% of the nominal voltage setpoint. The
default value is 90%. The adjustable range for the
time delay period is 0.1 to 5.0 seconds. The default
delay time is 4 seconds. See Figure 8-9 for an example using the default values.

condition over a specified time period (delay), it initiates a transfer. When the source voltage falls to an
acceptable value again, the sensor initiates a retransfer.
These parameters are adjustable. The over-voltage
sensing range (drop-out) for a rising voltage is 105
to 135% of the nominal voltage setpoint. The default
value is 110%. The pick-up range for a falling voltage is 95 to 99% of the drop-out setting. The default

time period is 0.1 to 15 seconds. The default delay
time is 5 seconds. The frequency sensing feature is
enabled by default. This feature can also be disabled.
Programmed Transition
Programmed T ransition introduces a delay (TDPT)
during an “open transition” transfer or retransfer.
Programmed transition causes a pause in the neutral position for an adjustable interval of time. In this
position, the load is not connected to either the utility or the genset. This delay allows residual current
from inductive loads to decay to an acceptable level
before transfer is completed.
The length of time that the utility or genset breaker/
contactors are both in the neutral (open) position
can be adjusted from 0 to 60 seconds. The default
value is 0 seconds. The proper adjustment is a function of the load. This feature is enabled by default.
This featu r e i s not used in closed transition paralleling applications.
