ENGINE
Refer to the engine operators manual for more detailed operation and
maintenance information.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE:
Be sure to check the engine oil level frequently as specified in the
engine manual.
The engine manufacturer has established an excellent worldwide
engine service organization; engine service is available from a nearby
authorized dealer or distributor. Go to the WINCO website for a list of
engine dealers (http://wincogen.com/Engine_Support) or contact the
WINCO Service Department.
The rated power of each engine-generator is limited by the
temperature, altitude, and all other ambient conditions specified by
the engine manufacturer. Engine power may decrease 3% for each
1000 feet above sea level, and will decrease an additional 3% for each
10 degrees Fahrenheit above 60° Fahrenheit. Units should not be
operated in ambient temperature greater than 122° Fahrenheit.
GENERATOR
WINCO generator sets use brushless, AVR (Auto-Voltage Regulator)
controlled broad-range generator ends. The generator converts
rotational mechanical energy into electrical energy. These WINCO units
are equipped with generators manufactured by Cummins Generator
Technology. Each generator ‘end’ has its own data tag. A unique serial
number is on the data plate.
TRAILER/HOUSING
These switchable voltage generators are normally shipped fully
enclosed & mounted on a trailer. The trailer is DOT approved and you
should receive a certificate of origin. This will allow you to register the
equipment and obtain tags from your state. If you should encounter any
problems registering the trailer, contact the WINCO Service Dept at
507-357-6831.
INTRODUCTION
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This engine-generator set is designed for unattended remote start
operation. It can be operated as part of a fully automatic standby power
system or independently as a local start unit in a prime power system.
The engine-generator set is fully tested at the factory prior to shipment
to insure proper operation of each individual component as well as the
total system’s performance and reliability.
The engine generator set consists of a multi-cylinder, liquid cooled
engine nominally operating at 1800 rpm. The generator frequency
regulation is maintained by the engine governor to /- 1.5 Hz
(cps), from no load to rated load for standard mechanical governors
and to /- .5 Hz or better for units equipped with an electronic
governor. The generator is a single bearing, direct drive, rotating field
design. The generator is connected to the engine flywheel via flexible
drive disks. Generator set is skid mounted with isolation mounts
between the engine and base on all units.
A customer supplied 12 Volt battery is required to complete the
installation. Battery requirements are listed later under the battery
installation section.
Unit Orientation Note:
All references used in this manual for unit
familiarization, access and component locations on the Generator Set
are oriented from a TOP (plan) VIEW with engine at the FRONT and
generator to the REAR.
WINCO uses a common junction box for all customer control and
power connections (both AC output and DC control). The common
electrical junction box is always on the left side at the generator end of
the machine.
The engine is controlled and Generator Set operation is monitored for
safe operation by a programmable microprocessor based electronic
Engine Control Module (ECM) with an LCD digital display. The
generator set ECM control is mounted on a vertical pedestal on the
right side of the generator. The ECM is programmed with a cycle
cranking sequence - 3 cycles of 15 seconds on/15 seconds off, and
5 minute cool-down delay. The cool-down delay can be changed in
the field from 0 to 30 minutes by your installer. Other features, timing
cycles, set points, and signal output capabilities are possible. Consult
factory for procedure and passwords.
NOTICE:
These units will automatically transfer if a power outage occurs while
running in exercise mode.
GENERATOR SET
Every WINCO generator set has its own unique identity data plate.
This data plate identifies the complete unit model number, the system
serial number, and has links to the individual components that form the
generator set in our factory records. Several of the major components
also have their own individual data plates providing additional
information to document build data for warranty and replacement parts.
