TESTING POLICY:
Before any generator is shipped from the factory, it is
fully checked for performance. The generator is loaded
to its full capacity, and the voltage, current, and frequency
are carefully checked.
Rated output of generators is based on engineering
tests of typical units, and is subject to, and limited by, the
temperature, altitude, fuel, and other conditions specified
by the manufacturer of the applicable engines.
INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION
The package standby system includes all items
necessary for a completely automatic standby power
system as standard equipment.
DESCRIPTION
This package standby system is designed to automatically provide standby power to unattended loads
during electrical outages. Upon an interruption of normal
electrical service the package standby systems electrical
control circuits will automatically start the engine. The
generator will produce electrical power and the Automatic
Transfer Switch (A.T.S.) will automatically transfer the
electrical loads to the engine-generator set. Upon
restoration of normal electrical service the emergency
transfer switch will sense return of the normal commercial power. The Automatic Transfer Switch will retransfer
the load back to the normal commercial power source.
The engine control circuits will begin a cool-down cycle,
after which the fuel supply will be shut off and the engine
ignition system disabled.
These packaged standby systems consist of two
major components:
1) AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH
A wall mounted Automatic Transfer Switch (A.T.S.)
designed for inside installation. The A.T.S. consists of a
line side contactor and a generator side contactor. The
contactors are both electrically and mechanically
interlocked. An electronic exerciser clock is installed in
the A.T.S. as standard equipment. The A.T.S. also
contains the power failure sensing circuitry necessary to
send a start/stop signal to the engine generator set.

Additional optional A.T.S. sizes are available to meet
specific needs. Contact your local WINCO Rep. or the
WINCO Sales Department for a quote.
2) ENGINE/GENERATOR
PSS25000 - The engine generator set consists of a
Ford Industrial, four cylinder, water cooled engine
equipped to run on LP or NG fuel. The engine operates at
3600 rpm and frequency regulation is maintained at 60
Hz, by an electronic governor mounted on the engine.
The 25,000 watt (25kW) generator is a single bearing,
direct drive, rotating field design, with an automatic
voltage regulator installed to maintain normal voltage
under full load conditions. The generator is connected to
the engine flywheel via a flexible drive disk. The engine
generator is mounted in a water tight enclosure for
outside installation. Connection boxes are provided for
all customer connections (both AC output and DC
control). A customer supplied 500 CCA (BCI group 24)
battery is required to complete the installation. Engine
operation is controlled by an Electronic Engine Control
Module (E.C.M.) mounted in the engine generator
enclosure. The E.C.M. is equipped standard with a 3
second start delay, 3 minute cool down delay and cycle
cranking consisting of five, 12 second on/12 second off
cycles. The E.C.M. has both oil pressure and high water
temperature delays build into the starting circuit. During
initial start up the oil pressure delay is 12 seconds, to
allow the engine time to build oil pressure, before a
shutdown will occur. The high water temperature
shutdown has a 60 to 90 second lockout, allowing the
engine time to clear the hot water out of the block in case
of a hot restart. In addition if the generator should lose
output during a run cycle the engine will continue to run
for about 60 seconds and then shutdown and display an
overcrank light. The starter will not re-engage until the
generator selector switch has been cycled off and back
on. This is the only way to clear a fault light.

INSTALLATION
FUEL INSTALLATION
General Information
*************
***** WARNING ****
*************
Before proceeding with the installation, be sure the
operation selector switch is in the stop position.
These engine/generator sets are designed to be
mounted on a concrete pad outdoors only. The transfer
switch is mounted next to your electrical entrance or
distribution panel inside the building. Consult a qualified, licensed electrician or contractor to install and wire
the transfer switch. The installation must comply with all
national, state and local codes.
***** CAUTION ****
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE - The PSS25000 must be
mounted on a full length solid concrete pad to prevent air
from exiting under the unit. Allowing air to exit under the
unit may cause the unit to overheat from lack of proper
air flow.
Before beginning the installation process recheck the
rating of the generator set and its transfer switch rating.
Be certain they can handle the intended load and are
compatible with the entrance voltage, phase and current
ratings. Plans for installation should be prepared with
proper attention to mechanical and electrical engineering
detail to assure a satisfactory system installation. The
information in this manual is offered only as a guide to
finalizing your installation plans. For full service switching
the A.T.S. must have a fusible disconnect (circuit breaker)
installed before the switch to protect transfer switch.
ENGINE GENERATOR SET MOUNTING
The unit’s main frame should be bolted solid to a four to
six inch thick cement pad. The engine-generator is
mounted on a sub-frame which is isolated with special
shock mounts on the main frame. This allows the
engine-generator to vibrate without affecting the control
panel on the main frame.
Do not install any shock mounts between the base
frame and the concrete pad. Engine vibration will be
transmitted to the control panel causing erroneous start/
stop cycles and premature control failure.
The unit should be mounted to allow for ample working
room around it. Particular attention should be paid to the
direction of the hot air discharge and exhaust discharge.
Unit location should be such that these discharges are not
allowed to be drawn back in through an open window or
door. A general rule to follow is five (5) feet of clearance
on all sides. (Code NFPA 37requires five feet from any
combustible surface.)
NOTE: All PSS25000 units are tested on Natural Gas
and shipped configured for Natural Gas. See page 6 for
conversion to LP
The fuel supply should be as close as possible to the
engine. This will reduce the installation cost of fuel runs.
The information in this manual is offered to assist you in
providing the proper fuel for your engine. However, this
information is only provided to inform you of the engine’s
requirements and assist in making you aware of the
decisions you must make. In no case should the
instructions or information provided be interpreted to
conflict with any local, state or national codes. If in doubt,
always consult your local fire marshal or gas supplier.
*************
***** WARNING ****
*************
FIRE HAZARD - All fuel runs should be installed by a
licensed fuel supplier.
Connect the fuel supply to the inlet of the fuel solenoid
(see table for recommended line size). For all vapor fuel
systems the delivery pressure of the fuel to the fuel
solenoid on the unit must be four to six ounces psi (per
square inch) or 7 to 11 inches W.C. (Water column).
Units equipped with liquid withdrawal kits must be
connected to the liquid withdraw valve on the tank. Full
tank pressure must be delivered to the 3/8” fuel fitting on
the fuel lock strainer at the generator. These fuel
pressures are critical, failure to provide the proper fuel
pressure can cause many problems ranging from a unit
that will not start to causing damage to the fuel system.
INSTALLING THE FUEL LINE
** NOTICE **
The engine generator sets are properly adjusted before
they leave the factory. A tag is attached to the unit that
specifies the fuel, natural gas (NG) or propane vapor (LP)
that the unit was set up and tested on. A slight adjustment may be necessary on NG depending on local BTU
content. This adjustment will be discussed later.
Line Size
Unit location will determine the size of fuel line that is
required to supply the engine with a constant fuel
pressure and volume. Refer to the tables below for fuel
line size, fuel consumption and recommended tank size.
For distances of 50 feet and over, a two regulator fuel
system is recommended. This is accomplished by
installing a primary regulator at the tank which will reduce
the tank pressure down to 10 to 15 lbs. A secondary
regulator is installed to further reduce the fuel pressure
to the required four (4) to six (6) oz. operating pressure.
This secondary regulator must be at least 10 feet from the
engine generator set, any closer installation will require a
larger line be installed to provide a fuel reservoir. This is
PAGE 460706-171
5076-10
also true for the single dual stage regulators, they should
also be minimum of 10 feet from the unit. If this is not
done the demand regulator on the unit and the pressure
regulator in the fuel line will interfere with each other.
When this two (2) stage regulator system is used, a fuel
line size of 1/2 to 5/8 inch is generally adequate for
distances up to 300 feet from the primary to the secondary regulator. (Consult your local fuel supplier for your
exact requirements.) The appropriate line size from the
table below is then installed from the second regulator to
the generator set.
*************
***** WARNING ****
*************
PERSONAL DANGER - Do not use galvanized pipe in
fuel line runs. The galvanized coating can become
eroded and flake off, causing possible obstructions in the
regulator or fuel valve. The results could range from
inoperative engine start to hazardous fuel leaks.

Reference number 1 is the fuel tank. No regulator is
required but the tank must have a liquid withdrawal drop
tube installed in it and a liquid valve on the tank.
Reference numbers 2 through 4 are installed on the
engine generator set.
Liquid fuel is delivered from the tank directly to the fuel
solenoid on the generator at full tank pressure. This
system requires no pressure regulator be installed any
where in the system. The converter mounted on the
engine generator set will take the liquid fuel at tank
pressure and convert it to vapor at the proper delivery
rate.
LP/NG FUEL ADJUSTMENTS
**** CAUTION ****
Do not make any fuel adjustments or governor adjustments until all pressure readings are in compliance with
specification. See fuel pressure charts (tables 1, 2, and
3).
NATURAL GAS (NG)
Due to variations in NG fuel characteristics and BTU
levels throughout the country, it may be necessary to
readjust the fuel mixture once the engine has been
installed and serviced.
**** CAUTION ****
Never make a fuel mixture adjustment on a unit when it is
stopped or running no load. A mixture adjustment is only
effective when the engine is operating under load.
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
1. Insure the unit is operating with an 80 to 100% load
or at the highest anticipated load.
Note: The mixture adjustment is located on the carbure-
tor just behind the fuel inlet hose. This mixture
adjustment is a partial turn, lean to rich, load block.
2. Begin making a mixture adjustment. Adjustments
should be made very slowly. Adjust back and forth until
the engine is running as smooth as possible.
3. The PSS25000 is equipped with an electronic
governor which requires no speed adjustment.
FUEL TYPE CONVERSION
If it should be necessary to change the type of fuel used
after a unit is received, the following procedures are
provided.
NA TURAL GAS TO PROPANE
1. Turn off fuel supply.
2. Remove the fuel line from the carburetor at the
demand regulator.
3. Remove the cap on the upright column of the
regulator. This will expose the pressure spring adjusting
screw. Back off the spring adjusting screw so there is just
enough room to replace the cover. Replace the cover.
4. Invert the regulator so it is positioned with the column
pointing down.
5. Reconnect the fuel line at the regulator.
6. Remove the 1/8 NPT plug (the one closest to fuel
solenoid) located on what is now the top of the regulator.
Connect a fuel pressure meter or a manometer where
the plug has been removed. Move the generator control
switch to the run position. As the unit starts to crank the
fuel solenoid will open and you should get a pressure
reading of between 4 to 6 ounces (7 to 11 inches of water
column).
7. If the pressure is correct, remove the meter and
reinstall the pipe plug.
8. You are now ready to make the final fuel mixture
adjustment. Refer to adjustment section in this manual.
PROP ANE TO NA TURAL GAS
1. Turn off fuel supply.
2. Remove the fuel line from the carburetor at the
demand regulator.
3. Invert the regulator so the column is in the upright
position. Remove the cap on the upright column of the
regulator. This will expose the pressure spring adjusting
screw. Turn the screw all the way out (CCW) and then
back in (CW) about 8 turns. The plug should be approximately half way down for initial starting.
4. Reconnect the fuel line at the regulator.
5. Remove the 1/8 NPT plug (the one closest to fuel
solenoid) located on what is now the bottom of the
regulator. Connect a fuel pressure meter or a manometer
where the plug has been removed. Move the generator
control switch to the run position. As the unit starts to
crank the fuel solenoid will open and you should get a
pressure reading of between 4 to 6 ounces (7 to 11
inches of water column).
