CONNECTING THE BATTERY
CHARGER
A two-stage battery tender is provided on all PSS series
generators. This battery tender charges at a rate of 750 mA
until the battery is fully charged and then automatically
switches to a 13.2 VDC float charger. The charger has an
indicator light on it. Red indicates it is charging, and green
indicates it is in storage mode (float charge). This charger is
mounted on the generator set which is located behind an
access cover in the rear of the unit.
The battery tender receptacle is to be powered by a GFCI
circuit and installed in accordance with the United States
National Electric Code. These AC wires can be run in the
same conduit as the other AC leads from the generator. It
is suggested that this circuit be fused for 15 Amps. Terminal
block connections have been provided in the customer
connection area of the engine-generator set. See following
diagram.
NOTICE:
The battery tender is not intended to recharge a battery
which has become completely discharged. It is designed to
produce enough current to recharge a slightly low battery
and maintain a fully charged battery.
SOLAR CHARGER OPTION
(If equipped)
The WINCO solar option consists of two parts; one, the solar
panel and two, the Sun Guard charge controller. The solar
panel collects the energy while the Sun Guard controls the
charging process acting as a switch to prevent the solar
panel from discharging or overcharging the battery. If you
are experience problems with solar charging system contact
WINCO service for trouble shooting instructions.
This package also included external receptacles, a 14-50 50
Amp and a 5-20 20 Amp duplex.
Note: this option has a 50 Amp circuit breaker.
