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 generators 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 includes all times

necessary for a completely automatic standby power

system as standard equipment.

DESCRIPTION

The package standby system is designed to au-

tomatically 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 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 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 ot two

major components:

1) AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH

A wall mounted ASCO 65 Automatic Transfer

Switch (ATS) designed for inside installation. 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 necessary 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 gen-

erator. When the line power is restored the ATS has

a 5 minute retransfer delay to allow the incoming util-

ity to stabilize before transferring 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. The engine is factory equipped to

run on LP or NG fuel. The engine 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 connnected to the

engine’s tapered (quill) crankshaft extension. The

engine generator is mounted in a drip-proof en-

closure for outside installation. Connection 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 installation.

** NOTICE **

This unit will automatically transfer if a power outage

occurs while running in an exercise mode.
