Safety Instructions
General Instructions
✓
This document includes important instructions that should be followed during installation and
maintenance of the Generator Set controller.
✓
For safety reasons, the manufacturer recommends that this equipment be installed and serviced by
an Authorized Service personnel. Follow all applicable state and local electrical codes.
✓
Efficient and safe operation of the controller can be acquired only if the equipment is correctly
operated and maintained. Many accidents arise due to ignorance or illiteracy towards the elemental
rules of safety and precautions.
The following safety notations found throughout this document indicate potentially hazardous conditions to the
operator, service personnel or the equipment.
•
Highlights an essential element of a procedure to ensure correctness
•
Indicates a procedure or practice, which, if not strictly observed, could result
in damage or destruction of equipment
•
Indicates a procedure or practice, which could result in injuring personnel or
loss of life, if not followed correctly
Electrical safety
✓
Electric shock can cause severe personal injury or death.
✓
Ensure the generator set must be grounded before performing any installation or service.
✓
Generators produce high electrical voltages direct contact with it can cause fatal electrical shock.
Prevent contact with terminals, bare wires, connections, etc., while the generator and related
equipment are running. Do not tamper with interlocks.
✓
To handle the maximum electrical current, sizes of wire gauge used for electrical connections and
wirings must be appropriate to which they will be subjected to.
•
In operation safety
✓
Before installing Genset controller, ensure that all power voltage supplies are positively turned off at
their source. Disconnect the generator’s battery cables and remove panel fuse to prevent accidental
start up. Disconnect the cable from the battery post, indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG, or (–) first.
Reconnect the negative cable last. Failure to do so will result in hazardous and possibly fatal electrical
shock.
✓
Remove electric power supply before removing controller or touching other electrical parts.
✓
Use extreme caution when working on electrical components. High voltage can cause injury or death.
✓
Use rubber insulative mats placed on dry wood platforms over floors that are metal or concrete when
working near Generator set or other electrical equipment.
