Chapter 1: Technical Features
I. Technical Features of the 15 and 20kW Single and Three-Phase, Dual-Fuel Generators
This gas generator is Dual-fuel and able to utilize both Natural Gas (NG) and Liquid Propane (LPG). It is a versatile multi-fuel engine. Based on our standards, we have designed this unit to operate in an environmentally safe and user friendly manner:
1.Speed Regulating System: This gas generator uses an internally designed electronic speed control system, allowing for quick and easy adjustments to the engine speed that can be set to specific speed ranges. This control system allows the engine to run more smoothly and respond quickly to sudden increases or decreases in required engine speed and electrical output.
2.Silent Air In-take System: Extra-large air intake cross-sections in the housing enclosure ensures ample air flow for the engine and air intake. This unique housing enclosure design leads to a significant reduction in operating noise.
3.Large Liquid Cooled Radiator and Reservoir: The use of an oversized radiator and coolant reservoir, like those used in automobile engines, allows for additional radiator coil surface and helps maintain a more ambient and stable engine temperature even in the hottest climates. Utilizing this liquid cooled system adds to the life and long term operating dependability of your liquid cooled gas generator investment.
4.Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) and Function: Our Automatic Transfer Switches are specifically designed to work with our systems and have proprietary connections. The ATS is a critical component of any emergency or standby power system. They are used for transferring essential loads and electrical distribution from one power source to another automatically, without personal involvement.
5.Intelligent Hazard Control System and Function: The Intelligent Hazard Control System warns
of dangerous conditions that exist to the engine or generator. This system continually checks and monitors the unit’s operating conditions and will automatically shut down if a problem is detected, to help avoid costly damage. This system uses a visual control panel that can be preset according to the user’s needs.

Chapter 2: Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual contains important instructions for the following models TR15REG-DB, TR20REG-DB / TR20REG-DB3 that should be followed completely during installation and maintenance of the generator and battery.
I.Technical Features of the 15 and 20kW Single and Three-Phase, Dual-Fuel Generators
1.Generator set operation - Carbon monoxide can cause severe nausea, fainting, or even death. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless, tasteless, non-irritating gas that can cause death if inhaled for even a short time. Avoid breathing exhaust fumes when working on or near the generator set. Never operate the generator set inside a building. Never operate the generator set where exhaust gas could seep inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied building through windows, air intake vents, or other openings.
10 |
032-5095-1A-EN |
2.Fuel System - Fuel Vapors are highly explosive and can cause severe injury or death. Use extreme care when handling and storing fuels. Store fuels in a well-ventilated area away from spark-producing equipment, gas hot water heaters and out of the reach of children. Never add fuel while the engine is running or hot, fuel spills may ignite on contact with hot parts and muffler. Do not operate under the influence of drugs and alcohol or smoke. when operating around sparks or open flames. Keep fuel lines and connections tight and in good working condition.
3.Servicing the exhaust system. Hot parts can cause severe injury. Do not touch hot engine parts. The engine and exhaust system components become extremely hot during operation.
4.Servicing the engine. Hot parts can cause personal injury or property damage. Keep the generator at least 2m (6ft) distance from other devices.
5.Grounding electrical equipment. Hazardous voltage can cause severe injury or death. Electrocution is possible whenever electricity is present. Ensure you comply with all applicable state and local codes and standards. Electrically ground the generator set, transfer switch, and related equipment and electrical circuits. Turn off the main circuit breakers of all power sources before servicing the equipment. Never contact electrical leads or appliances when standing in water or on wet ground because these conditions increase the risk of electrocution. It is highly recommended that a barrier exists between you and the ground surface at all times. We recommend using a wooden pallet with rubber mat on top to stand on while working or servicing the standby generator. Grounding is required of all AC circuits, use terminal (identify terminal) for bonding this circuit to the enclosure with a grounding rod (Not provided with unit). Ground the enclosure to a grounding electrode in accordance with state and local code requirements.
