2‐2 General Information MN2408
Important Be sure you are completely familiar with all Safety Instructions detailed in Section 1 of this manual. Do not proceed if you are unsure of any detail. Contact your Baldor Distributor, they are experienced and are happy to assist you and to answer your questions.
Room Location Often a separate building located on the site away from the main building is the most simple and cost effective. Major considerations when housing the genset in a separate building are: S Maintain the building at a satisfactory temperature year round (to meet applicable codes). S Assure the genset is not located so far from the emergency loads that reliability is compromised.
Foundation Design WARNING: An open bottom stationary engine generator set must be installed over noncombustible materials and shall be located such that it prevents combustible materials from accumulating under the generator set. Foundation Checklist A. Evaluate if a separate, isolated foundation is required for the application. B. Observe local codes on soil bearing capacity freezing and thawing. C. Design the separate foundation for the genset and specify the appropriate concrete mix. D.
S Steel spring isolators are a very effective and commonly used. Steel spring isolators are typically 95-98% efficient (reduces the transmitted vibration 95-98%) while a pad type can be 75-88% efficient. Spring isolators also level the genset sub-base in the event the foundation pad is not perfectly level.
Designing An Isolated Foundation If the genset cannot be mounted directly on a floor slab, or if it is desirable to isolate it from the floor slab, then a separate foundation slab must be designed. A massive concrete foundation is not required. Outside dimensions of the foundation should exceed the outside genset dimensions by 12in (300mm). For single genset installation, the foundation weight should be a minimum of 1.50 times the genset wet weight.
Table 2‐1 Approximate Load Bearing Capacities of Various Soil Types Soil Type Hard Rock - Granite etc. Medium Rock - Shale etc.
Exhaust System Exhaust Checklist A. Exhaust outlets are not located upwind or near any building air intakes. B. Flexible piping section is used at engine exhaust outlet. C. Exhaust piping material is adequate for expected service. D. Exhaust piping sizing is adequate to prevent back pressure. E. Exhaust piping components are insulated as necessary to prevent operator burns and reduce pipe radiant heat losses. F.
Figure 2‐6 Exhaust System Calculations Exhaust Piping Caution: The weight of the exhaust system must never be imposed on the turbo-charger outlet. Damage to the turbo-charger and other components may result. An exhaust system must withstand the vibration and thermal expansion that they are subjected to, yet supported well enough to remain independent of the engine. The most common method of providing flexibility is with the use of bellows type flexible piping.
Transfer Switch Transfer Switch Checklist A. Locate transfer switch in a clean, dry place, near the emergency load. B. Provide a circuit breaker between the genset and the transfer switch. C. Put a flexible connection between the conduit and genset. D. Observe applicable codes in wiring-in the transfer switch and genset. The transfer switch connects the genset to the emergency power system. The emergency power system may include several gensets and several transfer switches.
6. 7. Conduit, wire, circuit protective device sizes, insulation etc. must conform to applicable local and national codes and regulations. Be certain to seal around conduits that penetrate the walls of the genset room to reduce the amount of noise that is transmitted to the surrounding areas of the building and maintain site fire code rating.
Battery Charger An engine mounted alternator charges the batteries during engine operation. Standby gensets should include a solid state battery charger that is connected to utility power so the battery is charged continuously while the genset is not running. The battery charger should be connected to the utility power emergency circuit. The batteries on prime power gensets are charged by the engine mounted alternator, if equipped.
2‐14 General Information MN2408
Section 3 Receiving & Installation Receiving & Inspection When you receive your generator, there are several things you should do immediately. 1. Observe the condition of the shipping container and report any damage immediately to the commercial carrier that delivered your system. 2. Verify that the part number of the system you received is the same as the part number listed on your purchase order. 3.
WARNING: An open bottom stationary engine generator set must be installed over noncombustible materials and shall be located such that it prevents combustible materials from accumulating under the generator set. Several other factors should be carefully evaluated when selecting a location for installation: 1. For effective cooling and maintenance, the system should be mounted on a flat, smooth, noncombustible level surface. A concrete pad is ideal and provides a secure installation. 2.
Secure the Generator Six (eight for the GLC125) mounting bolts in the base frame secure the generator to the shipping pallet. Remove these bolts, lift the generator and remove the shipping pallet. Secure the generator to the concrete pad using 3/8″ anchor hardware (not provided) in the base frame mounting holes. See Figure 3‐2. Anchor bolts must be long enough to extend through the generator mounting frame.
Hot Exhaust Gasses WARNING: Exhaust fumes/gases are extremely dangerous and can cause severe illness or death. Never breath exhaust fumes produced by a running engine. Only run the engine outdoors where ventilation is plentiful. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless and extremely dangerous gas that can cause unconsciousness or death. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include: dizziness, nausea, headaches, sleepiness, vomiting or incoherence.
8. As much of the exhaust piping as possible should be located near the power ventilation exhaust. This will reduce the radiant exhaust heat inside the building. 9. Keep all fuel and its associated piping away from all components of the engine exhaust system. 10. After the exhaust system is installed it should be inspected on a regular basis to assure there are no toxic exhaust gas leaks. In some areas this inspection may be provided by your local public service. 11.
Installation The generator is completely assembled, tested and adjusted at the factory before it is shipped to you. The procedures presented in this manual are suggestions and it is the responsibility of the Owner/Operator to arrange for these procedures to be performed by licensed contractors according to all applicable codes including local codes for your Municipality/City/County and State. External connections required at the time of installation are: 1. Fuel System. 2.
Example: Determining Pipe Size for Natural Gas A generator has a 16Hp engine 60 feet from the supply. Determine the supply pipe size for Natural Gas fuel. 16 x 10,000 = 160,000 BTU's / per hour for proper operation. 160, 000 + 146 cubic feet per hour. 1, 096 From Table 3‐6, a 60 foot run requires a minimum 1” pipe at full engine load. Natural Gas Connections The incoming pressure must be 11 inches water column (6 oz. pressure).
Example: Determining Pipe Size for LPV A generator has a 16Hp engine 60 feet from the supply. Determine the supply pipe size for Natural Gas fuel. 16 x 10,000 = 160,000 BTU's / per hour for proper operation. 160, 000 + 63.5 cubic feet per hour. 2, 516 From Table 3‐6, a 60 foot run requires a minimum 1” pipe at full engine load. LP Vapor Connections (vapor withdrawal only) The LPV connections should only be made if your generator is setup to run on LPV.
Electrical Connections Class 1 wiring methods must be used for field wiring connections to terminals of a class 2 circuit. It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to arrange for these procedures to be performed by a licensed electrical contractor and ensure conformance to all applicable codes including local codes peculiar to your municipality/city/county and state. Wire size and insulation type should be as required by NEC (National Electrical Code) and local codes.
Transfer Switch Considerations The following are general considerations for the safe use of a transfer switch: 1. The transfer switch should be located inside the building near the main breaker box or the disconnect box. 2. The transfer switch must be kept away from any location that might allow water to get on it. 3. If the transfer switch is mounted outside, it must be protected from the environment and it's elements. 4. Do not mount the transfer switch on the generator set. 5.
Figure 3‐5 Single Phase Connections From Alternator (Factory Wired) Bond Jumper Note: Remove the Bonding jumper to meet local codes if required.
Battery Charger Considerations 1. Mount the battery charger on the generator or as close to the generator as possible. 2. If you mount the battery charger inside the building, mount it near the main breaker box or disconnect box. 3. If you mount the battery charger outside, you must protect it from the environment and the elements. 4. Do not mount the battery charger where flammable liquids or vapors are present. General Wiring Considerations 1.
Battery Connections The generator may be shipped with no battery installed. Procedure: The correct type battery must be installed in the battery compartment provided, see Table 3‐7. Installation and servicing of batteries is to be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries. 1. Open access doors and locate battery tray. 2. Place the correct battery (see Table 3‐7) on the tray. 3.
Post Installation Checks Caution: When the initial installation is complete, these checks must be performed before starting the engine. These checks are not required before each start, only after the initial installation. 1. Generators that have been in transit or storage for long periods may be subjected to extreme temperature and moisture changes. This can cause excessive condensation, and the generator windings should be thoroughly dried before bringing the generator up to full nameplate voltage.
Post Installation Checks Continued 22. With the engine running, several checks must be made: a. Verify there are no fuel leaks. If a fuel leak is detected, stop the engine immediately (move the Master Control Switch to the “Stop” position) and repair the leak before proceeding. b. Verify there are no coolant or oil leaks. If a leak is detected, stop the engine immediately and repair the leak before proceeding. c. Verify that operation is smooth.

Operator Control Panel (MICROPROCESSOR Engine Controller Only) The Operator Control Panel is shown in Figure 4‐13. WARNING: Never connect this generator to any buildings electrical system unless a licensed electrician has installed an approved transfer switch.
Operator Control Panel Continued Auto Switch Auto LEDLoad Test Switch - Load Test LED - When pushed, initiates automatic operation of the engine (generator set). Starting and stopping of the engine is controlled by a remote contact (transfer switch). When the remote start signal is removed the engine will continue to run for the cool down period (if selected) then stop. Pushing the Off switch will stop the engine immediately, even if the cool down period is not complete.
5. When the cool down time delay period expires (typically 5 minutes), the controllers RUN output will be immediately terminated which will initiate the engine to stop. Automatic Fault Shutdown When a fault circuit is programmed as a SHUTDOWN, the engine will immediately stop when the fault is activated. A specific shutdown fault can be programmed with a definite time transient delay period that must expire before the shutdown is activated.
When the controller is applied in an Auto Mains Failure (AMF) application with a transfer switch, it must be wired as shown in Figure 4‐14. Programmable output #3 must be selected for Utility Ready To Load and programmable output #4 must be selected for Gen Ready To Load. After the controller is programmed, the AMF sequence of operation will be as follows: Utility Normal Condition: 1. Remote Start input signal (terminals 16 & 17) is not activated (i.e. normal). 2.
No Load Test To allow a timed No Load Test of the engine/generator set while using the AMF control application, a digital input contact from an external timer must be programmed for NO LOAD Test The sequence of operation for a No Load Test condition is as follows: 1. With the utility supply normal and the generator stopped, a no load test sequence may be initiated by closing an external exercise timer contact to the programmed digital input for No Load Test. 2.
Figure 4‐15 Engine Controller Inputs & Outputs 4‐18 Operation MN2408
Analog Faults Eight analog fault inputs are user programmable for 12 fault conditions. Each analog fault input requires a specific analog signal type.
Output Contacts All output contacts are non-powered (i.e. dry contacts) and are rated 10A/240VAC, 8A/28VDC resistive (3A inductive, 0.4pf). Output contacts are not fused therefore external overcurrent protection (maximum 10A) is required for all control circuits using these contacts. Contacts are shown in a de-energized state and will change state upon activation. Run The Run contact is a Form “A” dry contact to control the engines “Run” circuit.

Note: A loss of speed signal must be detected for longer than 2 seconds to initiate the desired action. Common Fail For “Not In Auto” Function Selects if a common fail alarm condition is to be activated during manual operation. Horn For Not In Auto The Horn may be programmed to sound when the controllers operating mode is switched from the Auto position.
Digital Fault Menu Loop Caution: The controller's digital fault settings are described as follows: The Digital Fault Label selection must agree with the external control wiring prior to energizing the controller. Failure to do so may cause severe equipment damage. Digital Fault Label Select the desired fault label, these are stored in non-volatile memory.
Span Calibration Energize the generator supply voltage to the controller at nominal level. Note: It may be necessary to program the optional under and over voltage shutdowns as alarms to ensure the generator will continue to operate during calibration. Caution must be taken to ensure the generator output voltage is set within nominal limits. In the programming mode, scroll to the desired generator supply voltage phases with the SPAN function selected.
Engine Temperature & Oil Pressure Calibration To accurately calibrate the controller's temperature sensor, an external temporary engine mounted temperature gauge is required. The external temperature gauge should be connected as close as possible to the temperature sender. To accurately calibrate the controller's pressure sensor, an external temporary engine mounted pressure gauge is required. The external pressure gauge should be connected as close as possible to the pressure sender.
