CUSTOMER CONVENIENCE OUTLETS
The generator is equipped with five convenience outlets. The large outlets
are 240/120VAC twist-lock receptacles rated at 50A each. The smaller outlets
are 120VAC duplex receptacles rated at 20A each with ground fault circuit
interrupt (GFCI) protection. These receptacles are not routed through the
main circuit breaker. Each receptacle has its own circuit breaker, located
directly above or next to the outlet. Each breaker is sized to the maximum
rating of the corresponding outlet.
Power to the outlets is available any time the generator
is running, EVEN IF THE MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER IS
OFF “O”. MAKE SURE THAT ANY EQUIPMENT
CONNECTED TO THE CONVENIENCE OUTLETS IS
TURNED OFF BEFORE TURNING THE BREAKERS
ON. Make sure that the voltage selector switch is in the
proper position and that the output voltage is correct for
the equipment that is connected to the outlets. Improper
voltage may cause equipment damage or malfunction.
Note:
When the voltage selector switch is in position for 480/277V 3Ø, voltage at the two GFCI duplex convenience
outlets is 139 volts and the voltage at the three twist-lock outlets is 240/139 volts. When the shorting board is in
position for 208/120V 3Ø, voltage at the three twist-lock outlets and the two GFCI outlets is 208/120 volts.
DERATING FOR ALTITUDE
All generator sets are subject to derating for altitude and temperature; this will reduce the available power for operating
of tools and accessories connected to the auxiliary outlets. Typical reductions in performance are 2-4% for every
1000 ft. (305 meters) of elevation and 1% per 10ºF (3-5ºC) increase in ambient air temperature above 72ºF (22.2ºC).
REMOTE START TERMINAL BLOCK
The remote start terminal block is located just to the right of the three twist-lock convenience outlets.
It provides a connection for installation of a remote start switch which will allow the generator to
be started by a remote dry-contact closure switch.
Before pressing the AUTO button, verify that the contacts on any remote switch linked to the
generator are OPEN. If the contacts on a remote switch are closed, the generator will crank and
start when AUTO is selected. Attach the switch leads to the two unused terminals on the generators
remote start block. Refer to
“Manual Starting Of The Generator” on page 25
