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 neces-
sary for a completely automatic standby power system as
standard equipment.
DESCRIPTION
This packaged standby system is designed to automati-
cally 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 & Stratton
Vanguard, 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. The generator is connected to the
engine’s tapered (quill) crankshaft extension. The engine
generator is mounted in a drip-proof enclosure for outside
installation. Connection boxes and terminal blocks are
provided for all customer connections (both AC output and
DC control). A customer supplied 12 volt 500 CCA (BCI
group 26) battery is required to complete the installation.
** NOTICE **
This unit will automatically transfer if a power outage
occurs while running in an exercise mode.
