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 auto-
matically 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 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 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.

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.
** NOTICE **
This unit will automatically transfer if a power outage
occurs while running in an exercise mode.
