Section 1 General
Note:
If a connector has a clamp screw such as a
slotted, hexagonal head screw with more than
one means of tightening, test the connector using
both applicable torque values provided in
Figure 1-3.

Note:
For values of slot width or length not corresponding to
those specified, select the largest torque value
associated with the conductor size. Slot width is the
nominal design value. Slot length is to be measured at
the bottom of the slot.

Batteries
Battery location.
Refer to generator set dimension
drawing ADV-6916 for the battery location.
Battery type.
Starting batteries are usually the lead-
acid type and are sized according to the engine
manufacturer’s
recommendation
for
a
particular
ambient temperature and required cranking time. The
ADC 2100
uses
three
15-second
crank
cycles
separated by 15-second rests for larger models. Refer
to the generator set specification sheet for the required
battery cold-cranking ampere (CCA) rating.
1.8.7
Battery Chargers
An engine-driven, battery-charging alternator charges
the battery whenever the generator set operates.
Engine-driven systems can quickly restore the charge
used in a normal cranking cycle.
When the engine is not operating, a very low charge rate
from an AC-powered battery charger is usually sufficient
to maintain a full charge on the batteries. Select an
automatic float/equalize battery charger with a 3 amp or
greater rating.
Use separate, self-contained battery chargers or units
built into the automatic transfer switch. Run leads from a
transfer switch-mounted battery charger in conduit
separate from the conduit that holds the generator load
cables or remote engine-start circuits.
1.8.8
Remote Start Connection
(optional)
Connect leads 3 and 4 from the ADC 2100 controller to
the automatic transfer switch’s engine start terminals or
to an optional remote start/stop switch.
1.8.9
Automatic Transfer Switches
A typical standby system has at least one automatic
transfer switch connected to the generator set output to
automatically transfer the electrical load to the
generator set if the normal source fails. When normal
power returns, the switch transfers the load back to the
normal power source and then signals the generator set
to stop.
The transfer switch uses a set of contacts to signal the
engine/generator to start. When the normal source fails
and the generator set master switch is in the AUTO
position, the transfer switch contacts close to start the
generator set.
The engine start terminals are usually located near the
transfer switch contactor with an engine start decal
identifying the terminals. Use the transfer switch wiring
diagrams to identify the engine start terminals prior to
making connections.
Use 14-gauge wire run through conduit to connect the
transfer switch engine-start contacts or a remote
manual
engine-start
switch
to the
engine start
connectors on the generator set. Connect to leads 3 and
4 from the ADC 2100 generator set controller.
Use
separate conduits for engine-start leads, generator set
load cables, and battery charger leads.
