FIRE HAZARDS
Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator at all times. Do NOT •
use any carbon tetra-chloride type extinguisher. Its fumes are
toxic, and the liquid can deteriorate wiring insulation. Keep the
extinguisher properly charged and be familiar with its use. If
there are any questions pertaining to fire extinguishers, consult
the local fire department.
EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Properly ventilate any room or building housing • the generator to
prevent build-up of explosive gas.
Do not smoke around the generator. Wipe up any fuel or oil •
spills immediately. Ensure that no combustible materials are left
in the generator compartment, or on or near the generator, as
FIRE or EXPLOSION may result. Keep the area surrounding the
generator clean and free from debris.
These generator sets may operate using one of several types •
of fuels. All fuel types are potentially FLAMMABLE and/or
EXPLOSIVE and should be handled with care. Comply with all
laws regulating the storage and handling of fuels. Inspect the
unit’s fuel system frequently and correct any leaks immediately.
Fuel supply lines must be properly installed, purged and leak
tested according to applicable fuel-gas codes before placing
this equipment into service.
Diesel fuels are highly FLAMMABLE. Gaseous fluids such •
as natural gas and liquid propane (LP) gas are extremely
EXPLOSIVE. Natural gas is lighter than air, and LP gas is heavier
than air; install leak detectors accordingly.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The operator is responsible for proper and safe use of the equip-
ment. The manufacturer strongly recommends that the operator
read this Owner's Manual and thoroughly understand all instruc-
tions before using this equipment. The manufacturer also strongly
recommends instructing other users to properly start and operate
the unit. This prepares them if they need to operate the equipment
in an emergency.
It is the operator's responsibility to perform all safety checks, to
make sure that all maintenance for safe operation is performed
promptly, and to have the equipment checked periodically by
an Authorized Service Dealer. Normal maintenance service and
replacement of parts are the responsibility of the owner/operator
and, as such, are not considered defects in materials or workman-
ship within the terms of the warranty. Individual operating habits
and usage contribute to the need for maintenance service.
Proper maintenance and care of the generator ensures a minimum
number of problems and keeps operating expenses at a minimum.
See an Authorized Service Dealer for service aids and acces-
sories.
Operating instructions presented in this manual assume that
the standby electric system has been installed by an Authorized
Service Dealer or other competent, qualified contractor. Installation
of this equipment is not a “do-it-yourself” project.
HOW TO OBTAIN SERVICE
When the generator requires servicing or repairs, contact an
Authorized Service Dealer for assistance. Service technicians
are factory-trained and are capable of handling all service needs
(1-800-333-1322).
When contacting an Authorized Service Dealer about parts and
service, always supply the complete model number of the unit
as given on the front cover of this manual or on the DATA LABEL
affixed to the unit.
INTRODUCTION
The wireless display system consists of two identical radio trans-
ceivers, one mounted near the generator and the other (the one
with the display), should be in a convenient viewing location. The
system has a “line of sight” range of about 500 feet but this will
be reduced if the signal has to go through walls, etc.. The display
is intended to show the status of the generator and warn you if the
system is in an alarm state. It also provides the following additional
functions:
An independent (of the generator Alarm log) time/date stamped •
history of generator events such as starting and stopping
Allows remote starting and stopping of the generator•
Facility to set an exercise time and day from the display•
A separate battery backed clock (with date facility) which is •
synchronized to the generator clock. If power is removed from
the generator, time and date can be automatically restored from
this clock.
Ability to add extra displays•
Graphing capability•
The unit can be either battery powered or fed from the AC adapter
supplied (Part No. 0G4904). This adapter is rated for 100/240
VAC, 50/60 Hz operation. The History is kept in permanent mem-
ory that is not lost even when all power is lost. The clock function
is kept alive by a separate, 10 year life battery.
BATTERY OPERATION
The wireless display can be operated either from a plug in wall
transformer or from three AAA alkaline batteries. The unit is NOT
designed to run continuously on battery power. The batteries can
be rechargeable but are NOT recharged from the wall transformer
and should be separately charged. In the case of battery opera-
tion, the unit will go to sleep for 60 seconds then exchange data
for up to two (2) seconds to conserve battery life. The display
screen will turn off in the sleep mode unless there is an alarm to
be displayed. It can be awoken by pressing the ENTER key after
which it will remain awake for one (1) minute if no further keys
are pressed. The batteries are NOT used to retain data such as the
history log or the radio settings, they will not be lost in the event
of a dead battery.
NOTE 1:
In battery sleep mode it will take up to two (2) minutes to detect
if the radio link is lost. This long delay is to allow for the unit’s
sleep time.
