Installation Guidelines For 60 Hz EcoGen™ Generators
Before Initial Start-up
NOTE:
The unit has been run and tested at the factory
prior to being shipped and does not require any type of
break-in.
NOTE:
The unit comes filled with 5W-30 weight synthetic
oil from the factory. Check the oil level and add the
appropriate viscosity and amount if necessary.
Installation Wizard
The installation wizard immediately appears upon power-
up. It allows the user to input generator settings. See
The installation wizard will start every time AC and DC
power are removed and reapplied to the generator.
Interconnect System Self Test Feature
This controller will go through a system self test at power
up, which will check for a signal from the remote two wire
start wires 178 and 183. This is done to prevent damage
if the installer incorrectly connects AC power to the N1
and N2 wires into the DC terminal block. The controller
will display a warning message and lock out the
generator, preventing damage to the controller, if voltage
is detected at the DC terminal block. Power to the
controller must be removed to clear this warning.
Voltage must be present at the N1 and N2 terminals
inside the generator control panel for this test to be
performed and pass.
NOTE:
All appropriate panels must be in place during
any operation of the generator. This includes operation
by a servicing technician, while conducting
troubleshooting procedures.
Before starting, complete the following:
1.
Verify that the generator is off.
2.
Set the generator main circuit breaker to OFF
(OPEN).
3.
Turn off all breakers that will be powered by the
generator.
4.
Check the oil tank oil level and, if necessary, fill to
the dipstick FULL mark with the recommended oil.
Do not overfill.
5.
Check the fuel supply. Gaseous fuel lines must
have been properly purged and leak tested in
accordance with applicable fuel-gas codes. All fuel
shutoff valves in the fuel supply lines must be
open.
NOTE:
During initial start up only, the generator may
exceed the normal number of start attempts and
experience an “OVERCRANK” fault. This is due to
accumulated air in the fuel system during installation.
Reset the control board by pushing the OFF button and
ENTER button, and restart up to two more times if
(000135)
CAUTION
Engine damage. Verify proper type and quantity of
engine oil prior to starting engine. Failure to do so
could result in engine damage.
