Outline Drawing referenced in the Data Sheet.

ACCESS TO SET
Generally, at least 1 meter (3 feet) of clearance
should be provided on all sides of the generator set
for maintenance and service access. A raised
foundation or slab of 150 mm (6 inches) or more
above floor level will make servicing easier.

Lighting should be adequate for operation, mainte-


nance and service operations and should be con-
nected on the load side of the transfer switch so that
it is available at all times.

be removed by proper ventilation. Outdoor installa-
tions normally rely on natural air circulation but in-
door installations need properly sized and posi-
tioned vents for required airflow.

Vents and Ducts


For indoor installations, locate vents so incoming air
passes through the immediate area of the installa-
tion before exhausting. Install the air outlet higher
than the air inlet to allow for convection air move-
ment.

Size the vents and ducts so they are large enough to


allow the required flow rate of air. The ”free area” of
ducts must be as large as the exposed area of the
radiator. Refer to the genset Data Sheet for the air-
flow requirements and allowed airflow restriction.
FIGURE 4-4. WIND BARRIER
Wind will restrict free airflow if it blows directly into
the air outlet vent. Locate the outlet vent so the ef-
fects of wind are eliminated or if outlet vent cannot
be located as mentioned, install wind barrier. See

Programmed Transition
Example using Default Settings
for Nominal Frequency of 60 Hz Programmed Transition introduces a delay (TDPT)
60 Hz during an “open transition” transfer or retransfer.
Programmed transition causes a pause in the neu-
tral position for an adjustable interval of time. In this
position, the load is not connected to either the util-
ity or the genset. This delay allows residual current
from inductive loads to decay to an acceptable level

9. Installation Checklist

GENERAL
j Generator set wattage capacity is sufficient to handle maximum anticipated load.
j At least 3 feet of clearance (or greater for housing door) is provided around entire generator set for servic-
ing and ventilation.
j Generator set is located in an area not subject to flooding.
j All operating personnel have read and are familiar with Operator’s manual.
j All operators have been thoroughly briefed on preventive maintenance procedures.
j All operators have read and understand all Important Safety Instructions in Operator’s manual.
GENERATOR SET SUPPORT
j Floor, roof or earth on which the generator set rests is strong enough and will not allow shifting or move-
ment. Observe local codes on soil bearing capacity due to freezing and thawing.
j Generator set is properly supported and retained to approved base.
j Supporting base is large enough and is of non-combustible material − extends 6-inches all around set.
COOLING AIR FLOW
j Generator set air inlet is faced into direction of strongest, prevailing winds.
j Air inlet openings are unrestricted and at least 1−1/2 times larger than air outlet area.
j Cooling air outlet is on downwind side of building (if not, wind barrier is constructed).
j Proper ducting material (sheet metal, canvas) is used between radiator and air outlet.

DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM


j Fuel tanks meet or exceed all Local, State or National codes.
j Fuel lines are properly installed, supported and protected against damage.
j Approved flexible fuel line is installed between main fuel supply line and generator set’s fuel system, near
the generator set, to protect the fuel system from damage caused by vibration, expansion and contrac-
tion.
j Strainer or fuel screen (100 to 120 mesh) is installed in the fuel supply line to protect the fuel lift pump, day
tank transfer pump or float valve seat from fuel supply tank debris.
j Automatic fuel supply line shutoff valves are installed to prevent fuel flow in case of leaks.
j No shutoff valves are installed on engine fuel return line.
j External fuel pumps are connected and operational at all times (generator set started or shut down).
j Fuel system is properly primed.
j No fuel leaks are found in supply line or engine fuel system.

9-1
EXHAUST SYSTEM
j Operators are thoroughly briefed on the dangers of carbon monoxide gas.
j Areas around set are well ventilated. No possibility of exhaust fumes entering building doors, windows, or
intake fans.
j Exhaust gases are piped safely outside and away from building.
j The correct length of approved rigid pipe is connected to the generator set flexible pipe using approved
securing methods with no weight resting on engine exhaust components. There are no bends in flex sec-
tion.
j Condensation drain is provided in lowest section of exhaust piping.
j Exhaust piping is insulated to guard against burns to personnel.
j Exhaust piping passing through walls or ceilings have approved fire-proof materials and are in com-
pliance with all codes.
j Exhaust piping is large enough in diameter to prevent excessive back pressure on engine.
AC AND DC WIRING
j Wire sizes, insulation, conduits and connection methods all meet applicable codes.
j AC and DC wires are separated in their own conduit to prevent electrical induction.
j All load, line and generator connections are proper and correct.
j Flexible conduit between generator set and building or surrounding structure.

GENERATOR SET PRESTART


j Generator set engine is properly serviced with oil and coolant.
j Batteries are properly installed, serviced and charged.
j Battery charger and engine coolant heater are connected and operational.
j All generator set covers and safety shields are installed properly.
j All fuel and coolant shutoff valves are operational.
j Created control capture file of the genset’s parameter values before and after modifications.
