1.6 Fuel Requirements

The generator set operates using natural gas or LPGfuel. The generator set is EPA-certified for both naturalgas and LPG fuels.

The fuel system installationmust complywith applicablenational, state, and local codes.



WARNING

Gas fuel leaks. Explosive fuel vapors can cause severeinjury or death. Fuel leakage can cause anexplosion. Checkthe LPG vapor or natural gas fuel system for leakage by usinga soap andwater solutionwith the fuel system test pressurizedto 6--8 ounces per square inch (10--14 inches water column).Do not use a soap solution containing either ammonia orchlorine because both prevent bubble formation. A successfultest depends on the ability of the solution to bubble.


The fuel system. Explosive fuel vapors can cause severeinjury or death. Vaporized fuels are highly explosive. Useextreme care when handling and storing fuels. Store fuels in awell-ventilated area away from spark-producing equipmentand out of the reach of children. Never add fuel to the tankwhile the engine is running because spilled fuel may ignite oncontact with hot parts or from sparks. Do not smoke or permitflames or sparks to occur near sources of spilled fuel or fuelvapors. Keep the fuel lines and connections tight and in goodcondition. Donot replace flexible fuel lineswith rigid lines. Useflexible sections to avoid fuel line breakage caused byvibration. Do not operate the generator set in the presence offuel leaks, fuel accumulation, or sparks. Repair fuel systemsbefore resuming generator set operation.

Note: Refer to the flowcharts in Figure 1-27 throughFigure 1-29 during the following procedure.

Voltage Adjustment Procedure

1. With the generator set off, connect a digitalmultimeter to the output leads or an electrical outleton the load side of the generator set. Set themeterto measure AC voltage.

2. Start the generator set bymoving the generator setmaster switch to the RUN position.

3. Use the ADC controller to adjust the voltage(parameter 1P) until the output voltage reaches thedesired value. Refer to the flowcharts inFigure 1-27 through Figure 1-29 for instructions toadjust the output voltage. See Figure 1-25 for theapproximate change in voltage per step.

4. Adjust the voltage stability (gain, parameter 2P) tominimize light flicker.

5. Readjust the voltage, if necessary.

6. Set the multimeter to measure frequency.

7. Adjust the engine speed to the cut-in frequencyshown in Figure 1-26 by adjusting the enginegovernor speed (parameter 4P).

60 Hz 57.5 Hz

50 Hz 47.5 Hz

Figure 1-26 Cut-In Frequencies


8. Adjust the volts/Hz (parameter 3P) until the voltagelevel measured by the multimeter begins to drop.When the volts/Hz is set correctly, the generator(as load is applied) attempts to maintain normaloutput until the engine speed drops below thecut-in frequency set in step 7.

9. Reset the engine speed to the operating frequency(50 or 60 Hz) by adjusting the engine governorspeed (parameter 4P).

10. Readjust the voltage stability (gain, parameter 2P),if necessary.

11. Readjust the voltage (parameter 1P), if necessary.

12. Save settings. See Figure 1-29.

13. Stop the generator set.

1.13.2 Frequency Adjustment

The engine speed determines the generator outputfrequency; 60 Hz units operate at 3600 rpm and 50 Hzunits run at 3000 rpm. Adjust the engine governorspeed and gain to set the output frequency and stabilityusing the following procedure.


Frequency Adjustment Procedure


1. Attach a frequencymeter to the AC output leads oran electrical outlet on the load side of the generatorset.

2. Start and run the generator set until it reachesnormal operating temperature (at least 10 minutes).

3. Adjust the electronic governor speed(parameter 4P) to obtain a frequency reading of60 Hz (or 50 Hz if appropriate). Each stepchangesthe engine speed about 3.6 rpm, which changesthe output frequency about 0.06 Hz.

4. Check stability with the generator set running andwith no load applied. If the generator set speed isunstable, hunts, or surges, adjust the governorstability (gain, parameter 5P) until the generatorset becomes stable with no hunting or surging.(Increasing the gain slows the governor response.)

5. Check the frequency reading. Repeat steps 3 and4 if necessary to obtain the rated frequency andstable operation.

6. Save settings. See Figure 1-29.
