INTRODUCTION

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The package standby system is designed to automatically 

provide standby power to unattended loads during 

electrical outages. Upon interruption of normal electrical 

service, the packaged standby system electrical control 

circuits will automatically start the engine. The generator 

will produce electrical power and the Automatic Transfer 

Switch (ATS) will automatically transfer the electrical loads 

to the

engine-generator set. Upon restoration of normal electrical 

service the emergency transfer switch will sense return of 

the normal commercial power. The Automatic Transfer 

Switch will transfer the load back

to the normal commercial power source. The engine 

control circuits will begin a cool-down cycle, after which the 

fuel supply will be shut off and the engine ignition system 

disabled.

AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH (not included)

A wall mounted ASCO 185 Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) 

designed for inside or outside installation is recommended. 

The transfer switch is UL1008 approved. A seven day 

electronic exerciser circuit is installed

in the ATS as standard equipment. The ATS also contains 

the power failure sensing circuitry necessary to start and 

stop the engine generator set. The transfer switch is also 

equipped standard with a 3 second start delay, and a 15 

second transfer delay to allow the engine to warm up 

before transferring the load to the generator. When the 

line power is restored the ATS has a 5 minute transfer delay 

to allow the incoming utility to stabilize before transferring 

back to line power and then an additional 2 minute engine 

cool down delay before the engine shuts down. Read 

and understand the ATS owners manual before installing, 

servicing or operating the transfer switch.

ENGINE / GENERATOR

The engine generator set consists of a Briggs & Stratton 

Vanguard, twin cylinder, four cycle air cooled engine. The 

engine is factory equipped to run on LP or NG fuel. The 

engine operates at 3600 rpm and frequency regulation 

is maintained by the engine governor within 4 cycles 

variation (62.5 Hz - 58.5 Hz) from no load to rated load. The 

generator is a brushless, single bearing, direct drive, rotating 

field design. The generator is connected to the engine’s 

tapered (quill) crankshaft extension. The engine generator 

is mounted in a drip-proof enclosure for outside installation. 

Connection boxes and terminal blocks are provided for all 

customer connections (both AC output and DC control). A 

customer supplied 12 volt 500 CCA (BCI group 26) battery 

is required to complete the installation. 

NOTICE: 

This unit will automatically transfer if a power outage occurs 

while running in an exercise mode.

TESTING POLICY

Before any generator is shipped from the factory, it is fully 

checked for performance. The generator is loaded to its 

full capacity, and the voltage, current, and frequency are 

carefully checked.

Rated output of generator is based on engineering tests 

of typical units, and is subject to, and limited by, the 

temperature, altitude, fuel, and other conditions specified 

by the manufacturer of applicable engines.
