CONNECTING THE BATTERY CHARGER
A two-stage battery tender is provided on all PSS
series generators. This battery tender charges at
a rate of 750 mA until the battery is fully charged
and then automatically switches to a 3.2 VDC float
charger. The charger has an indicator light on it,
red indicates it is charging, and green indicates it is
in the storage mode (float charge). This charger is
mounted on the generator set, located behind an ac-
ces cover on the right side of the unit.
The battery tender receptacle is to be powered by
a GFCI circuit and installed in accordane with the
United States National Electric Code. These AC
wires can be run in the same conduit as the the
other AC leads from the generator. It is suggested
that this circuit be fused for 5 amps. Terminal block
connections have been provided in the customer
connection area of the engine generator set. See
Page 0 for diagram.
** NOTICE **
The battery tender is not intended to recharge a bat-
tery which has become completely discharged. It is
designed to produce enough current to recharge a
slightly low battery, maintainging it fully charged.
MOUNTING THE AUTOMATIC
TRANSFER SWITCH (ATS)
******************
***** WARNING *****
******************
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE - Protect the switch from
construction grit and metal chips to prevent mal-
function or shortened life of the switch. Contactors
returned for warranty consideration with foreign
materials inside of them will not be warranted.
Before installing the ATS you must first ensure that
the transfer switch is large enough to handle your
complete distribution panel. If you are installing a
00 amp transfer switch the main line circuit breaker
must not be larger than 00 amps. If you have a
25, 50, 200 amp or larger system and want to use
a 00 amp transfer switch, you will not be able to
transfer the complete electrical system. In this case
it will be necessary to install a secondary emergency
distribution panel. NOTE: THE MAXIMUM OUT-
PUT OF THE GENERATOR IS 50 AMPS AT 240
VOLTS.

BE USED FOR ALL FIELD WIRING CONNEC-
TIONS TO TERMINALS OF A CLASS 2 CIRCUIT.
******************
***** WARNING *****
******************
A main line circuit breaker has been provided inside
the generator housing. During all wiring installation
make sure the breaker is in the off position and the
generator operators switch is in the off position.
Note: This symbol always indicates
ground where used.
GENERATOR CONNECTIONS

To gain acces to the customer connections remove
the end door panel opposite the muffler. All AC and
DC connections to the ATS, 20 Volt power connec-
tion for battery charger, and battery installation are
made behind this panel. After removing the door
remove the cover over the customer connection box,
using a 7/6 inch open end wrench. See pages 20
and 2 for generator set and pad layout.
Two (2) hot leads, one () neutral and () ground
lead are required between the generator and the
ATS or distribution panel. The two power leads from
the generator are marked G and G3. Next install
two leads, one neutral and one ground lead from the
generator set to the ATS or distribution panel.
In addition to the power leads install a three wire 20
volt, 5 amp circuit from your distribution panel to
the generator. This circuit wll be used to power the
battery charger, optional block heater and optional
battery heater.
