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 packaged standby system is designed to auto-
matically provide standby power to unattended loads
during electrical outages. Upon an interruption of normal
electrical service the packaged standby system 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 commer-
cial 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 ASCO 165 Automatic Transfer
Switch (A.T.S.) designed for inside installation. The
transfer switch is UL1008 approved. A fourteen day
electronic exerciser circuit is installed in the A.T.S. as
standard equipment. The A.T.S. also contains the power
failure sensing circuitry necessary to start and stop the
engine generator set. The transfer switch is also
equipped standard with a 3 second start delay, and a 15
second transfer delay to allow the engine to warm up
before transferring the load to the generator. When the
line power is restored the ATS has a 5 minute retransfer
delay to allow the incoming utility to stabilize before
transferring back to line power and then an additional 1
minute engine cool down delay before the engine is shuts
down. Read and understand the owners manual before
installing, servicing or operating the transfer switch.

2) ENGINE/GENERATOR
The engine generator set consists of a Briggs & Strat-
ton, twin cylinder, four cycle air cooled engine. The
engine is factory equipped to run on L.P. or N.G. fuel.
The engine operates at 3600 rpm and frequency regula-
tion is maintained by the engine governor within 4 cycles
variation (62.5 Hz - 58.5 Hz) from no load to rated load.
The generator is a brushless, single bearing, direct drive,
rotating field design. Voltage regulation is provided by an
external voltage regulator mount on the generator,
variation is +/- .5% steady state.. The generator is
connected to the engine’s tapered (quill) crankshaft
extension. The engine generator is mounted in a NEMA
3R 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 26) battery is required to complete the installation.
Engine operation is controlled by the ASCO 165 Transfer
Switch
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
Extreme cold weather operation requires special
considerations. Higher CCA batteries are required for
cold weather starting, 650 CCA or larger are recom-
mended. In addition you should consider installing an
oil heater kit and a battery warmer for reliable starting
during cold weather.
** NOTICE **
This unit will automatically transfer if a power outage
occurs while running in an exercise mode.
