Engine power is subject to and limited by such factors as fuel joules (BTU), ambient temperature and altitude. Engine power decreases about 3.5%
for each 304.8 m (1,000 ft) above sea level, and also will decrease about 1% for each 6 °C (10 °F) above 15 °C (60 °F) ambient temperature.

Owner’s Manual for 50 Hz Air-Cooled Generator Sets
Engine
A detailed specification sheet for the particular generator set is available from an IASD or at
.
Protection Systems
The generator set may need to run for long periods of
time with no operator present to monitor engine/genera-
tor set conditions. The unit is equipped with protection
systems to automatically shut down unit to protect
against potentially damaging conditions. Some of these
systems include:
Alarms
:
•
High Temperature
•
Low Oil Pressure
•
Overcrank
•
Overspeed
•
Overvoltage
•
Undervoltage
•

•
RPM Sensor Loss
•

The control panel contains a display which alerts opera-
tor when a fault condition occurs. The above list is not all
inclusive. See
alarms and control panel operation.
NOTE:
A warning will indicate a condition on generator
set which should be addressed, but will not shut genera-
tor set down. An alarm will shut generator set down to
protect system from damage. In event of an alarm, an
operator can clear alarm and restart generator set prior to
contacting an IASD. Contact an IASD if the intermittent
issue occurs again.
Emissions
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (US
EPA) (and California Air Resources Board (CARB), for
engines/equipment certified to California standards)
requires this engine/equipment to comply with exhaust
and evaporative emissions standards. Locate the emis-
sions compliance decal on the engine to determine appli-
cable standards. See the included emissions warranty for
emissions warranty information. Follow the maintenance
specifications in this manual to ensure the engine com-
plies with applicable emissions standards for the duration
of the product’s life.
