TP-5700 7/93IV Safety Precautions and Instructions
Hazardous voltage.
Backfeed to the utility system can
cause property damage, severe
injury, or death.
If the generator set is used for
standby power, install an automatic
transfer switch to prevent inadvertent
interconnection of standby and
normal sources of supply.
WARNING
Grounding electrical equipment.
Hazardous voltage can cause
severe injury or death. Electrocution
is possible whenever electricity is
present. Open the main circuit
breakers of all power sources before
servicing the equipment. Configure the
installation to electrically ground the
generator set, transfer switch, and
related equipment and electrical
circuits to comply with applicable codes
and standards. Never contact
electrical leads or appliances when
standing in water or on wet ground
because these conditions increase the
risk of electrocution.
Installing the battery charger.
Hazardous voltage can cause
severe injury or death. An
ungrounded battery charger may
cause electrical shock. Connect the
battery charger enclosure to the ground
of a permanent wiring system. As an
alternative, install an equipment
grounding conductor with circuit
conductors and connect i t to the
equipment grounding terminal or the
lead on the battery charger. Install the
battery charger as prescribed in the
equipment manual. Install the battery
charger in compliance with local codes
and ordinances.
Connecting the battery and the
battery charger. Hazardous voltage
can cause severe injury or death.
Reconnect the battery correctly,
positive to positive and negative to
negative, to avoid electrical shock and
damage to the battery charger and
battery(ies). Have a qualified
electrician install the battery(ies).
Servicing the day tank. Hazardous
voltage can cause severe injury or
death. Service the day tank electrical
control module (ECM) as prescribed in
the equipment manual. Disconnect the
power to the day tank before servicing.
Press the day tank ECM OFF
pushbutton to disconnect the power.
Notice that line voltage is still present
within the ECM when the POWER ON
light is lit. Ensure that the generator set
and day tank are electrically grounded.
Do not operate the day tank when
standing in water or on wet ground
because these conditions increase the
risk of electrocution.
Short circuits. Hazardous
voltage/current can cause severe
injury or death. Short circuits can
cause bodily injury and/or equipment
damage. Do not contact electrical
connections with tools or jewelry while
making adjustments or repairs.
Remove wristwatch, rings, and jewelry
before servicing the equipment.
Engine block heater. Hazardous
voltage can cause severe injury or
death. The engine block heater can
cause electrical shock. Remove the
engine block heater plug from the
electrical outlet before working on the
block heater electrical connections.
Electrical backfeed to the utility.
Hazardous backfeed voltage can
cause severe injury or death. Install
a transfer switch in standby power
installations to prevent the connection
of standby and other sources of power.
Electrical backfeed into a utility
electrical system can cause serious
injury or death to utility personnel
working on power lines.
Installing accessories to the
transformer assembly. Hazardous
voltage can cause severe injury or
death. To prevent electrical shock
disconnect the harness plug before
installing accessories that will be
connected to transformer assembly
primary terminals 76, 77, 78, and 79.
Terminals are at line voltage. (Models
with E33+, S340, S340+, 340, R340,
and R33 controls only)
Installing accessories to the
transformer assembly. Hazardous
voltage can cause severe injury or
death. To prevent electrical shock
disconnect the harness plug before
installing accessories that will be
connected to the transformer assembly
primary terminals on microprocessor
logic models. Terminals are at line
voltage.
Making line or auxiliary
connections. Hazardous voltage
can cause severe injury or death. To
prevent electrical shock deenergize the
normal power source before making
any line or auxiliary connections.
Servicing the transfer switch.
Hazardous voltage can cause
severe injury or death. Deenergize all
power sources before servicing. Open
the main circuit breakers of all transfer
switch power sources and disable all
generator sets as follows: (1) Move all
generator set master controller
switches to the OFF position. (2)
Disconnect power to all battery
chargers. (3) Disconnect all battery
cables, negative (--) leads first.
Reconnect negative (--) leads lastwhen
reconnecting the battery cables after
servicing. Follow these precautions to
prevent the starting of generator sets
by an automatic transfer switch, remote
start/stop switch, or engine start
command from a remote computer.
Before servicing any components
inside the enclosure: (1) Remove
rings, wristwatch, and jewelry. (2)
Stand on a dry, approved electrically
insulated mat. (3) Test circuits with a
voltmeter to verify that they are
deenergized.
