e. Always avoid hot mufflers, exhaust manifolds,

and engine parts. They can cause severe

burns instantly.

f. Installing a generator set is not a “Do-it-your-

self” project. Consult a qualified, licensed elec-

trician or contractor. The installation must com-

ply with all national, state, and local codes.

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 generator is based on engineering

tests of typical units, and is subject to, and limited

by, the temperature, altitude, fuel, and other condi-

tions specified by the manufacturer of the applicable

engines.

INTRODUCTION AND

DESCRIPTION

The package standby system is designed to au-

tomatically provide standby power to unattended

loads during electrical outages. Upon interruption

of normal electrical service, the packaged standby

system electrical control circuits will automatically

start the engine. The generator will produce electri-

cal power and the Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)

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 transfer 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 65 Automatic Transfer

Switch (ATS) designed for inside or outside instal-

lation. The transfer switch is UL008 approved. A

fourteen day electronic exerciser circuit is installed

in the ATS as standard equipment. The ATS also

contains the power failure sensing circuitry neces-

sary to start and stop the engine generator set. The

transfer switch is also equipped standard with a 3

second start delay, and a 5 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 transfer delay to

allow the incoming utility to stabilize before trans-

ferring back to line power and then an additional 

minute engine cool down delay before the engine

shuts down. Read and understand the ATS 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, model 63277-06-B. The engine

is factory equipped to run on LP or NG fuel. The en-

gine operates at 3600 rpm and frequency regulation

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. Con-

nection boxes and terminal blocks are provided for

all customer connections (both AC output and DC

control). A customer supplied 2 volt 500 CCA (BCI

group 26) battery is required to complete the instal-

lation.

** NOTICE **

This unit will automatically transfer if a power outage

occurs while running in an exercise mode.
