INITIAL START UP
WARNING:
DO NOT jump start these engine generator sets. Starting
these units on a low battery of jump starting them will
cause damage to the engine control module.
Use the following checklist to verify correct installation
before starting the engine:
□
Engine oil.* Check level & fill as required with proper
grade/quantity.
□
Unit mounting base properly bolted down.
□
Clearance for service and maintenance on all sides.
□
Proper fuel line material and size.
□
All fuel line connections tight.
□
Fuel line protected and a moisture trap installed
(may be required for NG).
□
LP/NG pressure OK. 4-6 oz. (7-11 in. WC).
□
Battery connections clean and tight.
□
Battery fully charged.
□
All AC and DC wiring installed and properly
protected.
* Refer to engine owners manual for proper levels and
types.
After completing the above checklist, the engine generator
set is ready for the initial start-up test.
START UP PROCEDURE
ENGINE-GENERATOR SET ONLY
The engine control module (ECM) is manufactured by Deep
Sea Electronics. Model 3110 is used on this generator set.
See following picture and look for more information stated
within this manual.
MANUAL OPERATION
Press and release the red Stop/Reset button. Then press
and release the green Start Engine button. The engine-
generator will crank and start automatically. If the engine
fails to start, reference the fault codes to correct the problem
before proceeding.

DC ELECTRICAL INTERCONNECTION
CAUTION:
Never run the AC and DC wiring on the same conduit.
ASCO 185 UL SWITCH
Your DC connection points in the ASCO 185 UL ATS are on the
terminal block on the bottom of the controller in the lower left hand
corner of the ATS panel. The terminal block (TB7) is numbered 1
through 9. These terminals will accept # 22 - # 14 AWG stranded wire.
It is recommended that you use # 16 AWG for distances up to 200
feet. You need to run two (2) wires from the engine generator set to the
transfer switch. You will be using terminals 4 and 5, wire Start # 23 will
connect to terminal # 5 and wire Battery Negative # 1 will connect to
terminal # 4. See the following table and illustration.

you will be able to disconnect the power and work on the switch cold
without having the power company pull your meter.

failure conditions, an additional distribution panel designated
“emergency distribution panel” must be installed.
All selected emergency circuits are removed from main distribution
panels and reinstalled in the emergency distribution panel. Suggested
circuits: freezer, refrigerator, furnace, emergency lights, sump pump,
emergency outlet circuits, etc. Total running load must not exceed
generator rating.
STOP/RESET (red button) - This button places
the module into its Stop/Reset mode. This
will clear any alarm conditions for which the
triggering criteria have been removed. The
fuel supply de-energizes and the engine comes
to a standstill. Should a remote start signal be
present while operating in this mode, a remote
start WILL NOT occur.
AUTO (white button) - This button places the
module into its Automatic mode. This mode
allows the module to control the function of
the generator automatically. The module will
monitor the remote start input and once a start
request is made, the set will be automatically
started and placed on load. The module will
then wait until the next start event.
START (green button) - Pressing this button
from STOP/RESET will start the engine and run
the load.
PAGE - Pressing this button scrolls the display to
show the various instruments.
With the engine running soothly, check the no load voltage
and frequency wire #1 and #4 on the generator terminal
block in the ATS (L2 and L6 in the ASCO ATS). The voltage
should be 240 Volts plus or minus nominal. The frequency
should be between 61.5 to 62 Hertz (Hz). The Voltage
should also be checked between the hot terminals (L2 and
L6) and the neutral connection. The Voltage should be
about one half of the line to line Voltage.
OPERATING SPEED
The engine-generator must be run at the correct speed
in order to produce the proper electrical voltage and
frequency.
The speed of the engine was carefully adjusted at the
factory so that the generator produces the proper voltage
and frequency. For normal usage, the speed setting should
not be charged. If the generator is being run continuously
on a very light load, it is often advisable to lower the
operating speed slightly.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
SPEED ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD ONLY BE MADE BY A
QUALIFIED SERVICE TECH.
NOTICE:
If for any reason during the check out procedures the
Voltage and frequency are not correct, press the red Stop/
Reset button and correct the trouble before proceeding.
After verifying the Voltage and frequency are not correct,
press the Stop/Reset button. This will shut off the engine
immediately.
