DANGER

Generac®Power Systems, Inc. 3

• Do not handle any kind of electrical device while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.

DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY RESULT.

• If personnel must stand on metal or concrete while installing, operating, servicing, adjusting or repairing this equipment, place insulative mats over a dry wooden platform. Work on the equipment only while standing on such insulative mats.

• The National Electrical Code (NEC), Article 250 requires the frame and external electrically conductive parts of the generator to be connected to an approved earth ground and/or grounding rods. This grounding will help prevent dangerous electrical shock that might be caused by a ground fault condition in the generator set or by static electricity. Never disconnect the ground wire.

• Wire gauge sizes of electrical wiring, cables and cord sets must be adequate to handle the maximum electrical current (ampacity) to which they will be subjected.

• Before installing or servicing this (and related) equipment, make sure that all power voltage supplies are positively turned off at their source. Failure to do so will result in hazardous and possibly fatal electrical shock.

• Connecting this unit to an electrical system normally supplied by an electric utility shall be by means of a transfer switch so as to isolate the generator electric system from the electric utility distribution system when the generator is operating. Failure to isolate the two electric system power sources from each other by such means will result in damage to the generator and may also result in injury or death to utility power workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.

• Generators installed with an automatic transfer switch will crank and start automatically when NORMAL (UTILITY) source voltage is removed or is below an acceptable preset level. To prevent such automatic start-up and possible injury to personnel, disable the generator’s automatic start circuit (battery cables, etc.) before working on or around the unit. Then, place a “Do Not Operate” tag on the generator control panel and on the transfer switch.

• In case of accident caused by electric shock, immediately shut down the source of electrical power. If this is not possible, attempt to free the victim from the live conductor. AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a nonconducting implement, such as a dry rope or board, to free the victim from the live conductor. If the victim is unconscious, apply first aid and get immediate medical help.

• Never wear jewelry when working on this equipment. Jewelry can conduct electricity resulting in electric shock, or may get caught in moving components causing injury.

FIRE HAZARDS

• Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator at all times. Do NOT use any carbon tetra-chloride type extinguisher. Its fumes are toxic, and the liquid can deteriorate wiring insulation. Keep the extinguisher properly charged and be familiar with its use. If there are any questions pertaining to fire extinguishers, consult the local fire department.

EXPLOSION HAZARDS

• Do not smoke around the generator. Wipe up any fuel or oil spills immediately. Ensure that no combustible materials are left in the generator compartment, or on or near the generator, as FIRE or EXPLOSION may result. Keep the area surrounding the generator clean and free from debris.

• Generac generator sets may operate using one of several types of fuels. All fuel types are potentially FLAMMABLE and/or EXPLOSIVE and should be handled with care. Comply with all laws regulating the storage and handling of fuels. Inspect the unit’s fuel system frequently and correct any leaks immediately. Fuel supply lines must be properly installed, purged and leak tested according to applicable fuel-gas codes before placing this equipment into service.

• Gaseous fluids such as natural gas and liquid propane (LP) gas are extremely EXPLOSIVE. Natural gas is lighter than air, and LP gas is heavier than air; install leak detectors accordingly.

Important Safety Instructions

Guardian Liquid-cooled 25 kW Generator

4 Generac®Power Systems, Inc.

1.1 GENERATOR

This equipment is a liquid-cooled, engine-driven generator set. The generator is designed to supply electrical power that operates critical electrical loads during utility power failure. The unit has been factory-installed in a weather resistant, all metal enclosure and is intended for outdoor installation only. Use this generator as a source of electrical power for the operation of 120 and/or 240VAC, single-phase loads.

These models are available. They are rated as follows:

Model 005040-2: Provides 25,000 watts (25 kW) of single-phase power.

If this generator is used to power electrical load circuits normally powered by a utility power source, it is required by code to install a transfer switch. The transfer switch must effectively isolate the electric system from the utility distribution system when the generator is operating (NEC 701). Failure to isolate an electrical system by such means results in damage to the generator and may also result in injury or even death to utility power workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.

1.2 TRANSFER SWITCH

This generator system is intended to be used with a matched automatic transfer. It may be supplied in either a NEMA 1 enclosure or a NEMA 3R enclosure. The NEMA 1 enclosure is intended for indoor use only. The NEMA 3R enclosure is weather proof and can be used indoors or outdoors. Follow these rules:

• Install the transfer switch on a firm, sturdy supporting structure.

• To prevent switch distortion, level the switch if necessary. This can be done by placing washers between the switch enclosure and the mounting surface.

• Never install the switch where water or any corrosive substance might drip onto the enclosure.

• Protect the switch at all times against excessive moisture, dust, dirt, lint, construction grit and corrosive vapors.

If a transfer switch is not included, one may be purchased separately from a Generac Authorized Dealer.

1.3 AUTOMATIC SYSTEM OPERATION

When this generator, along with a transfer switch, has been installed and interconnected, a circuit board in the generator panel constantly monitors utility power source voltage. Should that voltage drop below a preset value, and remain at such a low state for a preset amount of time, the generator cranks and starts. After the generator starts, the transfer switch transfers load circuits so the generator can power them.

When utility source voltage has been restored, the switch re-transfers back to the utility source voltage and the generator then shuts down.

Please reference the transfer switch manual for specific information.

1.4 GENERATOR AC CONNECTION SYSTEMS

The generator was shipped from the factory with its stator AC output leads connected in a single-phase, 3-wire generator AC connection system (Figure 1.1). The stator assembly in this system consists of a pair of stationary windings, with two leads brought out of each winding. Each single winding can supply 120 VAC, 60 Hertz. When the two windings are connected in series, a 240 VAC, 60 Hertz AC output results. Typically the two “hot” leads in the circuit are Wires No. 11 and 44. The “Neutral” leads are the junction of Wires 22 and 33.

Figure 1.1 - Generator AC Connection System

1.5 MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER

The generator’s main circuit breaker is included with the unit as shipped from the factory. The breaker for each unit is described in Figure 1.2.

1.6 GENERATOR FUEL SYSTEM

This unit has been factory tested and adjusted using a natural gas fuel system. If propane (LP) gas is preferred, refer to Section 1.12, Reconfiguring the Fuel System for LP Vapor.

Fuel pressure for a natural gas set up should be five

inches to 14 inches of water column (0.18 to 0.5 psi) at all load ranges.

Fuel pressure for an LP vapor set up should be 11 inches to 14 inches of water column (0.4 to 0.5 psi) at all load ranges.

NOTE:

A separate gas line and regulator may be needed to assure proper gas pressure to the generator. Improper gas pressure can cause hard starting and affect engine durability.

Gaseous fuels such as natural and LP (propane) gas are highly explosive. Even the slightest spark can ignite such fuels and cause an explosion. No leakage of fuel is permitted. Natural gas, which is lighter than air, tends to collect in high areas. LP gas is heavier than air and tends to settle in low areas.

1.7 ENGINE PROTECTIVE DEVICES

The engine has several safety switches which cause the engine to automatically shut down under the following conditions: low oil pressure, high coolant temperature, engine overspeed, low coolant level or overcrank (Figure 1.3).

Figure 1.3 - Engine Protective Devices

1.7.1 LOW OIL PRESSURE SWITCH

This switch is normally-closed (N.C.) but is held open by engine oil pressure during engine running. Should operating oil pressure drop below about 8-10 psi (55-68 kPa), the switch contacts close and the engine shuts down automatically (Figure 1.4).

Figure 1.4 - Low Oil Pressure Switch

1.7.2 HIGH COOLANT TEMPERATURE SWITCH

Normally open (N.O.) thermostatic switch has sensing tip which is immersed in captive coolant. Should coolant temperature exceed about 230°F (110°C), the switch contacts close, which causes the engine to shut down automatically (Figure 1.5).

Figure 1.5- High Coolant Temperature Switch

1.7.3 LOW COOLANT LEVEL SWITCH

Should engine coolant level drop below the level of the high coolant temperature switch, it is possible for the engine to overheat without automatic shutdown. To prevent such overheating without automatic shut down, the engine has a low coolant level sensor. If the engine coolant drops too low, the engine automatically shuts down (Figure 1.6 on page 6).



Figure 1.6 - Low Coolant Level Sensor

1.7.4 OVERSPEED SHUTDOWN

Should AC frequency exceed about 72 Hz, circuit board action will automatically shutdown the engine.

1.7.5 OVERCRANK SHUTDOWN

The engine control board uses a cyclic cranking process when attempting to start the engine. The first crank cycle is a 15-second crank followed by a sevensecond rest. This is followed by five more crank cycles each with a seven second crank followed by a seven-second rest.

If the engine fails to start after all six attempts, the start attempt is stopped and the overcrank LED turns on.

1.7.6 LOW BATTERY

The engine control board continually monitors the battery voltage and turns on the low battery LED if the battery voltage falls below 12 VDC for one minute. Low battery voltage is a non-latching alarm, which will automatically clear if the battery voltage rises above 12 VDC.

1.7.7 15A DC FUSE

This fuse is located inside the control panel. It protects the panel wiring and components from damaging overload. The unit will not start or crank if the fuse is blown. Replace the fuse with one of the same size, type, and rating.

1.8 UNPACKING

1.8.1 UNPACKING PRECAUTIONS

Handle shipping cartons and crates with care. Use care to avoid damage from dropping, bumping, collision, etc. Store and unpack cartons with the proper side up, as noted on the shipping carton.

1.8.2 INSPECTION

Upon delivery, carefully inspect the generator for any damage that may have occurred during shipment. If loss or damage is noted at the time of delivery, have the person(s) making delivery note all damage on the freight bill or affix their signature under the consignor’s memo of loss or damage.

1.9 LIFTING THE GENERATOR

When lifting or hoisting equipment is used, be careful not to touch overhead power lines. The generators weight of more than 900 pounds requires proper tools, equipment, and qualified personnel to be used in all phases of handling and unpacking.

Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly serviced with the recommended oil may result in an engine failure.

1.14 COOLANT RECOMMENDATIONS

Use a mixture of half low silicate ethylene glycol base anti-freeze and half deionized water. Cooling system capacity is about 8 U.S. quarts (7.6 liters). Use only deionized water and only low silicate anti-freeze. If desired, add a high quality rust inhibitor to the recommended coolant mixture. When adding coolant, always add the recommended 50-50 mixture.

Do not use any chromate base rust inhibitor with ethylene glycol base anti-freeze or chromiumhydroxide (“green slime”) forms and will cause overheating. Engines that have been operated with a chromate base rust inhibitor must be chemically cleaned before adding ethylene glycol base anti-freeze. Using any high silicate anti-freeze boosters or additives will also cause overheating. DO NOT use any soluble oil inhibitor for this equipment.

1.15 BEFORE INSTALLATION

Before installing this equipment, check the ratings of both the generator and the transfer switch. Read “Emergency Isolation Method” and “Total Circuit Isolation Method” in Sections 2.5 and 2.6.

The generator’s rated wattage/amperage capacity must be adequate to handle all electrical loads that the unit will power. It may be necessary to group the critical (essential) loads together and wire them into a separate “emergency” distribution panel.

This generator can be installed in conjunction with an engineered Generac “GTS” type transfer switch, if necessary.

The standard prepackaged transfer switch does not have sensing or controlling circuit boards. Instead, the generator control console houses a “Printed Circuit Board Assembly”, which controls all phases of operation, including engine start up and load transfer.

2.1 STANDBY GENERATOR INSTALLATION

Connecting this generator to an electrical system normally supplied by an electric utility shall be by means of a transfer switch, so as to isolate the electric system from the utility distribution system when the generator is operating. Failure to isolate the electric system by these means will result in damage to the generator and may also result in injury or death to utility workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.

If an open bottom is used, the engine-generator must be installed over non-combustible materials and should be located such that combustible materials are not capable of accumulating under the generator set.

Only qualified, competent installation contractors or electricians thoroughly familiar with applicable codes, standards and regulations should install this standby electric power system. The installation must comply strictly with all codes, standards and regulations pertaining to the installation.

After the system has been installed, do nothing that might render the installation in noncompliance with such codes, standards and regulations.

NOTE:

For more information about the installation of a standby system contact a Generac Authorized Service Dealer.

2.2 GENERATOR LOCATION

Install the generator set, in its protective enclosure outdoors, where adequate cooling and ventilating air always is available. Consider these factors:

• Install the unit where air inlet and outlet openings will not become obstructed by leaves, grass, snow, etc. If prevailing winds will cause blowing or drifting, consider using a windbreak to protect the unit.

• Install the generator on high ground where water levels will not rise and endanger it.

• Allow sufficient room on all sides of the generator for maintenance and servicing. A required minimum allowance of space to any solid structure is three feet. Five feet allowance of space is recommended.

• Where strong prevailing winds blow from one direction, face the generator air inlet openings into the prevailing winds.

• Install the generator as close as possible to the transfer switch. This reduces the length of wiring and conduit.

• Install the generator as close as possible to the fuel supply, to reduce the length of piping. HOWEVER, REMEMBER THAT LAWS OR CODES MAY REGULATE THE DISTANCE.

2.3 GENERATOR MOUNTING AND

SUPPORT

Retain the generator compartment to a concrete slab with 1/4-inch masonry type anchor bolts. Be sure the bolts are long enough to retain the compartment. The slab should be at least six inches thick and should extend beyond the enclosure to a distance of at least three inches on all sides.

2.4 BASIC STANDBY ELECTRIC SYSTEM

Figure 2.1 shows a schematic diagram of a basic standby electric system. Both the UTILITY power supply and the STANDBY GENERATOR output are connected to an approved transfer switch. The transfer switch is required by electrical code and serves the following functions:

• Permits the LOAD circuits to be connected to only

one power supply at a time.

• Prevents electrical backfeed between the generator

and the UTILITY power circuits.

Notice that both the STANDBY and the UTILITY power supplies to the transfer switch are protected against overload by a main line circuit breaker.

Figure 2.1 – Basic Standby Electric System

NOTE:

Generac recommends the use of a Generac Power Systems transfer switch in conjunction with this generator.

2.5 EMERGENCY CIRCUIT ISOLATION METHOD

This prevents overloading the generator by keeping electrical loads below the wattage/amperage capacity of the generator. If the generator is powering only critical loads, within the wattage/amperage capacity, during utility power outages, consider using the emergency circuit isolation method.

Critical electrical loads are grouped together and wired into a separate “Emergency Distribution Panel.” Load circuits powered by that panel are within the wattage/amperage capacity of the generator set. The transfer switch must meet the following requirements:



Section 2 — Installation

Guardian Liquid-cooled 25 kW Generator

10 Generac®Power Systems, Inc.

• It must have an ampere rating equal to the total amperage rating of the emergency distribution panel circuit.

• It must be installed between the building’s main distribution panel and the emergency distribution panel.

2.6 TOTAL CIRCUIT ISOLATION

METHOD

When a generator capable of powering all electrical loads in the circuit is to be installed, the “Total Circuit Isolation Method” may be used. The following apply to the transfer switch in this type of system.

• Ampere rating of the transfer switch must equal the ampere rating of the normal incoming utility service.

• The transfer switch is installed between the utility service entrance and the building distribution panel.

2.7 GROUNDING THE GENERATOR

The National Electrical Code requires the frame and external electrically conductive parts of this equipment to be properly connected to an approved earth ground and/or grounding rods. For that purpose, a GROUND LUG (Figure 2.2) is provided on the generator mounting base. Consult a qualified electrician for grounding requirements in the area. Grounding procedures must meet local regulations.

Do not connect the ground wire to any pipe that carries a flammable or explosive substance – FIRE or an EXPLOSION may result.

Proper grounding helps protect personnel against electrical shock in the event of a ground fault condition in the generator or in connected electrical devices. In addition, grounding helps dissipate static electricity that often builds up in ungrounded devices.

Figure 2.2 – Generator Grounding Lug (typical)

2.8 GENERATOR AC NEUTRAL CONNECTIONS

Generac uses an UNGROUNDED AC neutral. Grounding is recommended only at the main service entrance. If the neutral wire is grounded and one of the phase loads becomes grounded, the excessive current opens the load circuit breaker or collapses the generator field. The actual result depends on the electrical characteristics of the particular installed generator.

Failure to connect the generator neutral properly will result in unbalanced line-to-neutral voltages. Resulting high voltages will cause equipment damage.

2.9 USING AN ENGINEERED “GTS” TRANSFER SWITCH

When required, the pre-packaged standby generator can be installed with an engineered Generac “GTS” type automatic transfer switch.

In this application, the engineered GTS is responsible for utility sensing, weekly exercising, and load transferring.

Position two of the eight-position dip switch is used to turn over this control to the engineered GTS.

In order for the battery charger to work, it is necessary to provide a fused 240 VAC utility source to the N1 and N2 terminals in the control panel.

Pos2 ON — Engineered GTS Application

• The control board will NOT monitor utility.

• The control board will NOT perform a weekly exer-

cise. (The five red LEDs will flash one at a time in this mode.)

• The control board will NOT activate the transfer

output.

• The control board WILL monitor all engine condi-

tions and shut down on all the faults listed in this document.

Pos2 OFF — Standard Prepackaged ATS

Application

• The control board will perform all of the automat-

ic features listed in this document.

• The two-wire start connections, wires 178-183,

should NOT be connected.

NOTE:

If the generator is installed in conjunction with an engineered GTS type transfer switch, refer to the applicable transfer switch manual for exact operating parameters and timing sequences.

2.10 BATTERY INSTALLATION

Standby generators installed with automatic transfer switches will crank and start automatically when NORMAL (UTILITY) source voltage is removed or is below an acceptable preset level. To prevent such automatic start-up and possible injury to personnel, do not connect battery cables until certain that normal source voltage at the transfer switch is correct and the system is ready to be placed into operation. Ensure that the 5A and 15A fuses in the control panel are removed when connecting or disconnecting battery cables.

Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas. This gas can form an explosive mixture around the battery for several hours after charging. The slightest spark can ignite the gas and cause an explosion. Such an explosion can shatter the battery and cause blindness or other injury. Any area that houses a storage battery must be properly ventilated. Do not allow smoking, open flame, sparks or any spark producing tools or equipment near the battery.

Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely corrosive sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe burns. Do not permit fluid to contact eyes, skin, clothing, painted surfaces, etc. Wear protective goggles, protective clothing and gloves when handling a battery. If fluid is spilled, flush the affected area immediately with clear water.

Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The battery is capable of exploding.

Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte can be toxic and harmful to the skin and eyes.

The battery represents a risk of high short circuit current. When working on the battery, always remove watches, rings or other metal objects, and only use tools that have insulated handles.

2.10.1 VENTED BATTERIES

The electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric acid that is harmful to the skin and eyes. It is electrically conductive and corrosive. The following procedures are to be observed:

• Wear full eye protection and protective clothing,

• Where electrolyte contacts the skin, wash it off

immediately with water,

• Where electrolyte contacts the eyes, flush thor-

oughly and immediately with water and seek medical attention, and

• Spilled electrolyte is to be washed down with an

acid-neutralizing agent. A common practice is to use a solution of one pound (500 grams) bicarbonate of soda to one gallon (4 liters) of water. The bicarbonate of soda solution is to be added until the evidence of reaction (foaming) has ceased. The resulting liquid is to be flushed with water and the area dried.

Lead acid batteries present a risk of fire because they generate hydrogen gas. The following procedure are to be followed:

• DO NOT SMOKE when near batteries,

• DO NOT cause flame or spark in battery area, and

• Discharge static electricity from body before touch-

ing batteries by first touching a grounded metal surface.

Servicing of batteries is to be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.

The recommended battery is Group 26, 525 CCA/75 AH minimum at 0° F (-17.8° C). All batteries must be at 100 percent state-of-charge before they are installed on the generator.

When using maintenance-free batteries, it is not necessary to check the specific gravity or electrolyte level. Have these procedures performed at the intervals specified in Section 4, “Maintenance.” A negative ground system is used. Battery connections are shown on the wiring diagrams. Make sure all batteries are correctly connected and terminals are tight. Observe battery polarity when connecting batteries to the generator set.

NOTE:

Damage will result if the battery connections are made in reverse.

2.11 PREPARATION BEFORE START-UP

The instructions in this section assume that the standby generator has been properly installed, serviced, tested, adjusted and otherwise prepared for use by a competent, qualified installation contractor. Be sure to read the “Safety Rules” on pages 2 and 3, as well as all other safety information in this manual, before attempting to operate this (and related) equipment.

Section 3 - Operation

Guardian Liquid-cooled 25 kW Generator

2.11.1 PRIOR TO INITIAL START-UP

Prior to initially starting the generator, it must be properly prepared for use. Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly serviced with the recommended types and quantities of engine fluids (oil, coolant, fuel, etc.) may result in an engine failure.

Before starting the generator for the first time, the installer must complete the following procedures. For follow-up maintenance information and/or service intervals, please refer to Section 4, “Maintenance.”

2.11.2 TRANSFER SWITCH

If this generator is used to supply power to any electrical system normally powered by an electric utility, the National Electrical Code requires that a transfer switch be installed. The transfer switch prevents electrical backfeed between two different electrical systems, (for additional information, see the applicable transfer switch manual for this unit). The transfer switch, as well as the generator and other standby components, must be properly located and mounted in strict compliance with applicable codes, standards and regulations.

2.11.3 FUEL SYSTEM

Make sure the fuel supply system to the generator (a) delivers the correct fuel at the correct pressure and volume and, (b) is properly purged and leak tested according to code. No fuel leakage is permitted.

2.11.4 GENERATOR SET LUBRICATION

Check the engine crankcase oil level before operating and add oil to the proper level – the dipstick “FULL” mark. Never operate the engine with the oil level below the dipstick “ADD” mark. See “Specifications” and “Engine Oil Recommendations”.

NOTE:

This engine is shipped from the manufacturer with 15W-40 oil. This oil should be changed after 30 hours of operation.

2.11.5 ENGINE COOLANT

Have the engine cooling system properly filled with the recommended coolant mixture. Check the system for leaks and other problems. See “Specifications” and “Coolant”.

2.11.6 BELT TENSION

Check the engine fan belt tension and condition prior to placing the unit into service and at recommended intervals. Belt tension is correct when a force of approximately 22 pounds (10 kg), applied midway between pulleys, deflects the belt about 3/8- to 5/8inches (10 to 16 mm).

2.11.7 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Make sure the generator is properly connected to an approved earth ground and/or ground rod.

Make sure the generator battery is fully charged, properly installed and interconnected, and ready for use.

Check to ensure that there are no loose electrical connections. Restrain any loose wires to keep them clear of any moving generator set components.

3.1 ENGINEERED GTS TRANSFER SWITCH

When required, the pre-packaged standby generator can be installed with an engineered Generac “GTS” type automatic transfer switch. Set dip switch on engine control PCB to GTS-type.

When using an engineered GTS type transfer switch, it controls automatic operation and automatic transfer as follows:

• Solid state circuits in the transfer switch monitor

utility power source voltage.

• When utility source voltage drops below a pre-set

level, transfer switch action signals the generator to start. The engine then cranks and starts as controlled by the pre-packaged generator’s Control Module circuit board.

• After the engine starts and when the generator AC

output voltage and frequency have reached a pre-set value, transfer switch circuits signal the transfer switch main contacts to actuate to the “Standby” power source side. Generator AC output then powers load circuits.

• When the utility power source voltage is restored

above a pre-set level, transfer switch circuits signal the switch main contacts to move back to their utility power source side.

• Following re-transfer back to the utility power

source side, transfer switch circuit board action signals the generator to stop. Engine then shuts down.

GTS Mode Operation

When in GTS mode, the control board will respond as follows based on the generator AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch position.



Generac®Power Systems, Inc. 13

OFF — The generator will not start and run in this position.

MANUAL — The control board will start and run the generator whenever the switch is in the manual position.

AUTO — The control board will monitor the two-wire start circuit. When a two-wire start is issued, the control board will immediately start and run the generator. When the two-wire start is removed the control board will immediately stop the generator.

NOTE:

If the generator is installed in conjunction with an engineered GTS type transfer switch, refer to the applicable transfer switch manual for exact operating parameters and timing sequences.

For proper battery charger operation, it will be necessary to supply a fused 240VAC utility fed supply to terminals N1 and N2 in the control panel.

3.2 CONTROL CONSOLE COMPONENTS

The components of a home standby generator control console (Figure 3.1) are as follows:

Figure 3.1 - Home Standby Generator Panel

3.2.1 AUTO/OFF/MANUAL SWITCH

Use this three-position switch as follows:

• Set the switch to AUTO for fully automatic opera-

tion. See “Automatic Operation” (Section 3.5).

• Set switch to MANUAL position to crank and start

the generator engine.

• Set switch to OFF position to shut down an oper-

ating engine. With OFF selected, operation will not be possible.

With switch set to AUTO, engine can crank and start suddenly without warning. Such automatic start up normally occurs when utility source voltage drops below a pre-set level. To prevent possible injury that might be caused by such sudden starts, set AUTO/OFF/ MANUAL switch to OFF before working on or around the unit. Then, place a “DO NOT OPERATE” tag on control console.

3.2.2 FAULT INDICATOR LEDS

(SEE CHART ON PAGE 14)

These LEDs turn ON when one or more of the following engine faults occurs and the engine shuts down.

• Low Oil Pressure

• Overcrank

• Low Battery

• Overspeed/Engine Speed Signal Fault

• High Coolant Temperature/Low Coolant Level See Section 1.7 for further explanation of engine pro-

tection functions.

3.2.3 15 AMP FUSE

This fuse protects the control console’s DC control circuit against electrical overload and is located inside the control panel. If the fuse has melted open because of an overload, engine cranking and startup cannot occur. If the fuse needs to be replaced, use only an identical 15-amp replacement fuse (type ATO).

3.2.4 5 AMP FUSE

This fuse protects the battery charger against electrical overload and is located inside the control panel. If the fuse needs to be replaced, use only an identical 5amp replacement fuse (type ATO).

NOTE:

This fuse will not remove the + battery input power from the PCB when it opens. This means the exercise timer will not be reset.

3.2.5 SET EXERCISE TIME SWITCH

This switch allows programming the generator to start and exercise automatically. “See Weekly Exercise Cycle.”

3.2.6 SYSTEM READY LED

The System Ready LED (green) has two main proposes. First, the LED will be ON when the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is in the AUTO position, utility is present, and there are no system alarms. This ON state indicates the system is fully ready for automatic operation.

The system ready LED will be OFF when the switch is in the manual or OFF positions.

The system ready LED is also used to indicate the presence of utility sensing at the PCB when the switch is either in the AUTO or MANUAL modes. The LED will flash at the rate of 1/2 second on, 1/2 second off if the utility sensing level is below the transfer back threshold.

This secondary function is only available with dip switch two in the OFF position (ATS - automatic transfer switch application).

3.3 MANUAL TRANSFER AND START-UP

To transfer electrical loads to the Standby (EMERGENCY) power source side and start the engine manually, refer to the Owner’s Manual of the particular transfer switch.

3.4 ENGINE GOVERNOR ADJUSTMENTS

Engine speed governing is also controlled by the engine control board. The engine governor has been set by the factory during final testing of the generator and should not be adjusted.

If, however, adjustments are necessary, the following procedure should be followed (Figure 3.2 and Section

3.8):

1. Move dip switch 8 to the test mode (OFF posi-

tion).

2. Set all three potentiometers (pots) fully counter-

3. Under no load condition, increase the GAIN pot as much as possible without causing instability.

4. Apply 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and full load to the unit. Decrease the GAIN pot if there is instability at any load point.

5. Under full load condition, increase the stability pot until the unit returns to 60 Hertz (or 50 Hertz in 50 Hertz applications).

6. Reduce load to 3/4, 1/2, 1/4 and no load. Decrease the stability pot if there is instability at any load point.

7. Adjust differential pot to make the recovery to load changes even faster and minimize load change undershoot and overshoot. If it is set too high, it may introduce oscillations at some load. It can be set to zero (full CCW) if a small amount causes oscillations at some load.

Figure 3.2 — Engine Governor Adjustment

3.5 RETRANSFER AND SHUTDOWN

When utility power source voltage has been restored, electrical loads may be transferred back to that source and the generator can be shut down as follows:

• Verify that utility power supply voltage to the trans-

fer switch has been positively turned Off, using whatever means provided (such as utility main line circuit breaker).

• Set the generator’s main circuit breaker to its Off

or Open position.

• Let the generator engine run at no-load for a few minutes, to stabilize internal unit temperatures.

• On the generator console, set the Auto/Off/ Manual switch to Off. Wait for engine to come to a complete stop.

• For transfer to utility position, refer to the Owner’s Manual of the particular transfer switch.

• Turn on the utility power supply to the transfer switch, using whatever means provided (such as a utility main line circuit breaker). The utility power source now powers the loads.

3.6 AUTOMATIC OPERATION

To set the system for fully automatic operation, proceed as follows:

• Check that load circuits are connected to the utility power supply.

• Set the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to its AUTO position.

• Set the generator main circuit breaker to its ON or CLOSED position.

3.7 WEEKLY EXERCISE CYCLE

The engine control board will start and run the generator once every seven days for approximately 12 minutes. If utility should fail during this exercise period, the engine control board will transfer the load to the generator output and continue to run until utility returns.

On the day, and at the time of day chosen for the generator to exercise, set the weekly exercise cycle as follows:

1. Place the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch in the auto

position (Figure 3.3).

2. Press and hold the “Set Exercise” switch for five

seconds, then release.

At this time all five red LEDs will flash for approximately 10 seconds, then the engine will start and run for it’s 12 minute exercise period, then shut down. The generator will now start and run each week at the same time.

If DC power to the control board is lost, the weekly exercise setting will be lost. This is indicated by all five red LEDs continually flashing. In this state the generator will still start and run in manual mode, or automatically start and run if utility is lost while in Auto mode, but it will not perform a weekly exercise cycle.

If a failure occurs while running in this mode, the five red LEDs will stop flashing, the individual fault LED will turn on and the engine will shut down. Once the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch has been switch to OFF, the individual fault LED will turn OFF and the five red LEDs will begin flashing to show exercise has still not been set.

3.8 CONTROL BOARD DIP SWITCH SETTINGS

Located on the control board is an eight position DIP switch (see Figure 3.2). The eight different switches, are used to configure the control board for the specific engine and governor being used and are pre-set at the factory.

If the DIP switch settings are not set correctly, the generator may not start or operate correctly.

240 VAC can be present within the control panel.

If it is necessary to select an alternate switch position, move the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to the OFF position. Remove the 5 amp and 15 amp fuses in the generator control panel. Move the DIP switch position that needs to be changed to its new position. Wait five seconds, then re-install the 5 and 15 amp fuses.

The ON position is marked on the switch and the factory settings are also shown in Figure 3.3.

Switch Position 1 — Selects the generator alternator output frequency and is factory pre-set for 60 Hz.

Switch Position 2 — Selects the type of transfer switch and is factory pre-set for an automatic transfer switch (ATS).

Switch Position 3 — Selects the type of governor control used and is factory pre-set for stepper motor control.

Switch Position 4 — Selects the type of fuel being used and is factory pre-set for natural gas (NG).

Switch Position 5 — Selects the engine displacement and is factory pre-set for a 2.5 liter (2.5L) engine.

Switch Position 6 — Selects the number of engine cylinders and is factory pre-set for four cylinders.

Switch Position 7 — Selects the direction of rotation of the governor stepper motor and is factory pre-set for CCW rotation (rotation is observed looking at the stepper shaft as it move from closed throttle to open throttle).

Switch Position 8 — Selects whether the control is in the Normal Mode of operation or Test Mode. In the Normal Mode of operation, pre-determined governor gains are used and the gain trimpots on the control board (Gain, Stability, and Differential) are not active and have no effect on the gains. In Test Mode the gain trimpots are active and can be adjusted. See Section

3.4.

4.5 COOLING SYSTEM

Air intake and outlet openings in the generator compartment must be open and unobstructed for continued proper operation. This includes such obstructions as high grass, weeds, brush, leaves and snow.

Without sufficient cooling and ventilating air flow, the engine/generator quickly overheats, which causes it to shut down. (See the installation diagram.)

The exhaust system parts from this product get extremely hot and remains hot after shutdown. High grass, weeds, brush, leaves, etc. must remain clear of the exhaust. Such materials may ignite and burn from the heat of the exhaust system.

Engine cranking, start up and running are controlled by a solid state Engine Controller circuit board. Battery voltage is delivered to that circuit board via a 15 amp fuse. These overcurrent protection devices will open if the circuit is overloaded.

If a circuit breaker opens or a fuse element melts, find the cause of the overload before resetting the circuit breaker or replacing the fuse.

4.7 CHECKING FLUID LEVELS

4.7.1 CHECK ENGINE OIL

Check engine crankcase oil level (Figure 4.3) at least every 20 hours of operation, or prior to use.

• Remove oil dipstick and wipe dry with a clean,

lint-free cloth.

• Install oil dipstick, then remove again.

• Oil should be between FULL and ADD marks.

• If oil level is below the dipstick ADD mark, remove

oil fill cap. Add the recommended oil to bring oil level up to the FULL mark. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE “FULL” MARK. See “Engine Oil Recommendations” for recommended oils.

Figure 4.3 - Oil Dipstick and Oil Fill Cap

4.7.2 BATTERY FLUID

Check battery electrolyte fluid based on the Maintenance Schedule. Fluid should cover separators in all battery cells. If fluid level is low, add distilled water to cover tops of separators. DO NOT USE TAP WATER IN BATTERY.

4.7.3 ENGINE COOLANT

Check coolant level in coolant recovery bottle. See Specifications.

• Add recommended coolant mixture as necessary.

• Periodically remove radiator pressure cap (only when engine has cooled down) to make sure the coolant recovery system is functioning properly. Coolant should be at bottom of radiator filler neck. If coolant level is low, inspect gasket in radiator pressure cap. Replace cap, if necessary. To have pressure cap tested, contact an authorized Generac Service Dealer. Inspect cooling system and coolant recovery system for leaks.

4.8.8 CHECK FAN BELT

• Inspect fan belts every three months. Replace any damaged, deteriorated, worn or otherwise defective belt.

• Check fan belt tension. Thumb pressure, exerted midway between pulleys, should deflect about 3/8 to 5/8 of an inch. Adjust belt tension as required.

4.8.9 INSPECT ENGINE GOVERNOR

Visually inspect electronic governor.

DANGER: Do not attempt to adjust the governor. Only qualified service facilities should adjust the governor. Excessively high operating speeds are dangerous and increase the risk of personal injury. Low speeds impose a heavy load on the engine when adequate engine power is not available and may shorten engine life. Correct rated frequency and voltage are supplied only at the proper governed speed. Some connected electrical load devices may be damaged by incorrect frequency and/or voltage. Only qualified service technicians should adjust the governed speed.

4.8.10 CHANGING ENGINE OIL

Refer to maintenance performed by authorized service facilities for engine oil and filter change frequencies.

Drain the oil while the engine is still warm from running. This means warm up the engine, shut it down and drain immediately as follows:

1. Remove OIL DRAIN HOSE from its retaining clip.

2. Loosen and remove OIL DRAIN HOSE CAP. Drain

oil completely into suitable container.

3. When all oil has drained, install and tighten OIL

DRAIN HOSE CAP, and re-install into its retaining clip.

4. Turn OIL FILTER (Figure 4.1) counterclockwise

and remove. Properly dispose of old filter.

5. Apply light coating of new engine oil to seal of new

oil filter. Install FILTER and tighten by hand only. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

6. Remove OIL FILL CAP. Add recommended oil (see

SPECIFICATIONS). DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE DIPSTICK “FULL” MARK. Crankcase oil capacity is 4.0 U.S. quarts (3.8 liters).

After refilling the crankcase with oil, always check oil level on dipstick. NEVER OPERATE ENGINE WITH OIL BELOW THE DIPSTICK “ADD” MARK.

7. Start engine and check for oil leaks.

4.8.11 CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR CLEANER

To replace the engine air cleaner, (part number

059402), simply remove the air cleaner cover and replace the air filter making sure it is positioned properly before reattaching the cover (Figure 4.1).

See the “Service Schedule,” for air cleaner maintenance.

4.8.12 SPARK PLUGS

Reset the spark plug gap or replace the spark plugs as necessary (Figure 4.4). See Section 6.

1. Clean the area around the base of the spark plugs to keep dirt and debris out of the engine. Clean by scraping or washing using a wire brush and commercial solvent. Do not blast the spark plugs to clean.

2. Remove the spark plugs and check the condition. Replace the spark plugs if worn or if reuse is questionable. See the “Service Schedule,” Section 6, for recommended inspection.

3. Check the spark plug gap using a wire feeler gauge. Adjust the gap to 1.07-1.17 mm (0.042-

0.046 inch) by carefully bending the ground electrode (Figure 4.2).

4.9 MISCELLANEOUS MAINTENANCE

4.9.1 CLEANING THE GENERATOR

Keep the generator as clean and as dry as possible. Dirt and moisture that accumulates on internal generator windings have an adverse effect on insulation resistance.

Periodically clean generator exterior surfaces. A soft brush may be used to loosen caked on dirt. Use a vacuum system or dry, low pressure air to remove any accumulations of dirt. The generator is housed inside an all-weather enclosure, clean the enclosure with a soft, damp cloth or sponge and water.

Once each year have the generator cleaned and inspected by an Authorized Service Dealer. That dealer will use dry, low pressure air to clean internal windings. Parts inside the control console should be cleaned and inspected at this time as well.

Finally, have the insulation resistance of stator and rotor windings checked. If insulation resistances are excessively low, the generator may require drying.

4.9.2 BATTERY

All lead-acid storage batteries discharge when not in use. Refer to specific instructions and warnings that accompany the battery. If such information is not available, observe the following precautions when handling a battery:

• DO NOT use jumper cables and a booster battery to crank or start the generator engine.

• DO NOT recharge a weak battery while it is installed in the generator. Remove battery from generator and recharge in a well-ventilated area, away from fuel vapors, sparks, heat or flames.

• Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely caustic sulfuric solution that can cause severe burns. DO NOT permit fluid to contact eyes, skin, clothing, painted surfaces, wiring insulation, etc. If any battery fluid is spilled, flush the affected area with clear water immediately.

• Always wear safety glasses, rubber apron and gloves when handling a battery.

• Batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas while charging. The gas can form an explosive mixture around the battery for several hours after charging. Any spark, heat or flames can ignite the gas and cause an explosion which can shatter the battery, causing blindness or other serious injury.

4.9.3 BATTERY MAINTENANCE

The battery should be inspected per Section 4.7, Scheduled Maintenance. The following procedure should be followed for inspection:

1. Inspect the battery posts and cables for tightness

and corrosion. Tighten and clean as necessary.

2. Check the battery fluid level of unsealed batteries and, if necessary, fill with DISTILLED WATER ONLY. DO NOT USE TAP WATER IN BATTERIES.

3. Have the state of charge and condition checked. This should be done with an automotive-type battery hydrometer.

Do not use any jumper cables or booster battery to crank and start the generator engine. If the battery has completely discharged, remove it from the generator for recharging.

Be sure the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is set to the OFF position, before connecting the battery cables. If the switch is set to AUTO or MANUAL, the generator can crank and start as soon as the battery cables are connected.

Be sure the utility power supply is turned off, or sparking may occur at the battery posts as the cables are attached and cause an explosion.

4.9.4 BATTERY REPLACEMENT

When replacing batteries, use the same number and the type of battery that follows:

NOTE:

The BCI number should be located directly on the battery.

4.10 SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE

Following is a recommended maintenance schedule for Generac small standby and residential generator sets. The established intervals in the schedule are the maximum recommended when the unit is used in an average service application. They will need to be decreased (performed more frequently) if the unit is used in a severe application. Use the unit hour meter or calendar time, whichever occurs first, from the previous maintenance interval to determine the next required maintenance interval.

Service Maintenance Interval Information:

The various service maintenance intervals are designated by interval numbers as follows:

1 An early inspection of the generator set to insure it is ready to operate when required and to identify any poten-

tial problem areas.

Performed monthly this requires approximately .5 man-hours per unit to complete.

This inspection may be performed by the end user providing the following safety steps are taken to prevent the engine from starting automatically without warning:

To prevent injury, perform the following steps in the order indicated before starting any maintenance:

• Disable the generator set from starting and/or connecting to the load by setting the control panel AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to the OFF position.

• Remove the 5 amp and 15 amp control panel fuses.

• Turn off the battery charger (turn OFF utility supply to ATS).

• Remove the negative battery cable.

The batter

y charg

er must be turned off BEFORE removing the batter

y cable to prevent an over current condi-

tion from burning out sensitive control panel components and circuits.

Following all maintenance, reverse these steps to insure the unit is returned to standby setup for normal operation when required.

2 A break-in service inspection of the generator set to insure it is ready to operate and carry the load when

required, and to identify any potential problem areas.

Performed ONLY ONCE following the first three months of operation after purchase of the unit and requires approximately 2.5 man-hours per unit to complete.

This inspection contains some maintenance tasks which require special tools, equipment, and/or knowledge to accomplish and should be performed only by an authorized Generac Service Dealer.

3 An operational inspection of the generator set to insure it is ready to operate and carry the load when required,

and to identify any potential problem areas.

Performed semi-annually this requires approximately 1.5 man-hours per unit to complete.

This inspection contains some maintenance tasks which require special tools, equipment, and/or knowledge to accomplish and should be performed only by an authorized Generac Service Dealer.

4 A mid-level inspection of the generator set to insure it is ready to operate and carry the load when required, and

CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Generac Power Systems, Inc. (Generac) are pleased to explain the Emission Control System Warranty on your new engine.* In California, new utility, and lawn and garden equipment engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the state’s stringent anti-smog standards. Generac will warrant the emission control system on your engine for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modification or improper maintenance of your engine.

Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, ignition system and exhaust system. Generac will repair your engine at no cost to you for diagnosis, replacement parts and labor, should a warrantable condition occur.

MANUFACTURER’S EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE:

Emissions control systems on 1995 and later model year engines are warranted for two years as hereinafter noted. If, during such warranty period, any emission-related component or system on your engine is found to be defective in materials or workmanship, repairs or replacement will be performed by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Dealer.

PURCHASER’S/OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:

As the engine purchaser/owner, you are responsible for the completion of all required maintenance as listed in your factory supplied Owner’s Manual. For warranty purposes, Generac recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your engine. However, Generac cannot deny warranty solely due to the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the completion of all scheduled maintenance.

As the engine purchaser/owner, you should, however, be aware that Generac may deny any and/or all warranty coverage or responsibility if your engine, or a part/component thereof, has failed due to abuse, neglect , improper maintenance or unapproved modifications, or the use of counterfeit and/or “grey market” parts not made, supplied or approved by Generac.

You are responsible for presenting your engine to a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Dealer as soon as a problem occurs. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

Warranty service can be arranged by contacting either your selling dealer or a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Dealer. To locate the Generac Authorized Warranty Service Dealer nearest you, call our toll-free number:

1-800-333-1322

IMPORTANT NOTE: This warranty statement explains your rights and obligations under the Emission Control System Warranty (ECS Warranty), which is provided to you by Generac pursuant to California law. See also the “Generac Power Systems, Inc., Two Year Limited Warranty” which is enclosed herewith on a separate sheet, also provided to you by Generac. The ECS Warranty applies only to the emission control system of your new engine. If there is any conflict in terms between the ECS Warranty and the Generac Warranty, the ECS Warranty shall apply except in circumstances where the Generac Warranty may provide a longer warranty period. Both the ECS Warranty and the Generac Warranty describe important rights and obligations with respect to your new engine.

Warranty service can be performed only by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Dealer. When requesting warranty service, evidence must be presented showing the date of the sale to the original purchaser/owner.

If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact Generac at the following address:

Generac®Power Systems, Inc. 53

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY

Emission Control System Warranty (ECS Warranty) for 1995 and later model year engines:

(a) Applicability: This warranty shall apply to 1995 and later model year engines. The ECS Warranty Period shall begin on

the date the new engine or equipment is purchased by/delivered to its original, end-use purchaser/owner and shall continue for 24 consecutive months thereafter.

(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage: Generac warrants to the original, end-use purchaser/owner of the new engine or

equipment and to each subsequent purchaser/owner that each of its engines is ...

(1) Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the CARB pursuant to its

authority, and

(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship which, at any time during the ECS Warranty Period, may cause a war-

ranted emissions-related part to fail to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the engine manufacturer’s application for certification.

(1) Any warranted, emissions-related parts that are not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner’s

Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. If any such part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it shall be repaired or replaced by Generac according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.

(2) Any warranted, emissions-related part that is scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in the Owner’s Manual

shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. A statement in such written instructions to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary” shall not reduce the ECS Warranty Period. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.

(3) Any warranted, emissions-related part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner’s

Manual shall be warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part shall be repaired or replaced by Generac according to Subsection (4) below. Any such emissions-related part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for such emissions-related part.

(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this ECS Warranty shall be performed at no

charge to the owner at a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Dealer.

(5) When the engine is inspected by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Dealer, the owner shall not be held responsi-

ble for diagnostic costs if the repair is deemed warrantable.

(6) Generac shall be liable for damages to other original engine components or approved modifications proximately caused

by a failure under warranty of any emission-related part covered by the ECS Warranty.

(7) Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, Generac shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts sufficient

to meet the expected demand for such emission-related parts.

(8) Any Generac authorized and approved emission-related replacement part may be used in the performance of any ECS

Warranty maintenance or repairs and will be provided without charge to the owner. Such use shall not reduce Generac ECS Warranty obligations.

(9) Unapproved, add-on, modified, counterfeit and/or “grey market” parts may not be used to modify or repair a Generac

engine. Such use voids this ECS Warranty and shall be sufficient grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim. Generac shall not be held liable hereunder for failures of any warranted parts of a Generac engine caused by the use of such an unapproved, add-on, modified, counterfeit and/or “grey market” part.

EMISSION RELATED PARTS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:

*Generac engine types covered by this warranty statement include the following:
