1.10 The Hazards of Carbon Monoxide

Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless, tasteless and non-irritating gas.
You cannot see it or smell it. Red blood cells, however, have a greater affinity for
CO than for oxygen. Therefore, exposure even to low levels of CO for a prolonged
period can lead to asphyxiation (lack of oxygen) resulting in death. Mild effects of
CO poisoning include eye irritation, dizziness, headaches, fatigue and the inability to
think clearly. More extreme symptoms include vomiting, seizures and collapse.
Engine-driven generator sets produce harmful levels of carbon monoxide that can
injure or kill you.
Special Risks of CO near the Home

WARNING
Toxic Gases
Carbon monoxide (CO) gas can cause nausea, fainting, or death. Residents
can be exposed to lethal levels of CO when the generator set is running.
Depending on air temperature and wind, CO can accumulate in or near the
home.
To protect yourself and others from the dangers of CO poisoning, it is
recommended that reliable, approved, and operable CO detector alarms are
installed in proper locations in the home as specified by their manufacturer.
Protecting Yourself from CO Poisoning

• Locate the generator set in an area where there are no windows, doors, or
other access points into the home.
• Make sure all CO detectors are installed and working properly.
• Pay attention for signs of CO poisoning.
• Check the exhaust system for corrosion, obstruction, and leaks every time you
start the generator set and every eight hours when you run it continuously.

4-2017 4. Installation
Preparing the Generator Set Mounting Surface

Cummins recommends the generator set be installed on a non-combustible
mounting pad (available as an accessory) or a poured concrete slab. The surface
beneath the mounting surface must be properly prepared to minimize the risk of the
generator set settling and causing undue stress on the fuel system or electrical
connections. The surface preparation is the same when preparing the site for
installing on the accessory mounting pad or poured slab.
Cummins recommends the generator set be installed above grade for easier
maintenance, and lower risk of submersion in water.
1. Clear obstructions and make sure that there is adequate clearance for access
to the site.
2. Ensure that the ground is stable and is not subject to flooding.
3. Level the ground, and make sure that the subgrade is compacted and settled.
Local soil condition may dictate the need for addition of sub-base and base
material layers above the subgrade. Consult with your local building officials for
requirements and recommendations for your area.
4. Either pour a concrete slab or set an accessory mounting pad on the prepared
surface. The poured concrete slab should be:
• Constructed of concrete with a 28-day compressive strength of at least
2500 psi (17,200 kPa); typical bagged concrete mix meets this requirement
• A minimum of 3 inches (76.2 mm) thick
• At least 2 inches (50.8 mm) larger in length and width than the generator
set base
5. Place the generator set on the pad and secure it to the mounting surface using
the mounting spacers (provided) and appropriate fasteners. See the Securing
the Generator Set to the Mounting Pad section for more information.

4.2 Fuel Selection and Fuel System Connection

This generator set has a convertible fuel system. The generator may run on natural
gas or propane, depending on the preferences of the owner. All generator sets
come preconfigured from the factory for natural gas fuel. For more information on
converting the fuel system type, see the Service Manual.
NOTICE
Fuel systems must be installed by qualified service technicians. Improper
installation presents hazards of fire and improper operation, resulting in
severe personal injury or property damage.
NOTICE
In some jurisdictions fuel system installations to the generator set must be
performed by licensed or registered personnel. Check with the authority
having jurisdiction for requirements.
WARNING
Gaseous fuels are flammable, explosive, and can cause severe personal
injury or death. Do not smoke if you smell gas, are near fuel tanks for fuel-
burning equipment, or are in an area sharing ventilation with such
equipment. Keep flames, sparks, pilot lights, electrical arcs, arc-producing
equipment and all other sources of ignition well away. Keep a type ABC fire
extinguisher handy.
In all fuel system installations, cleanliness is extremely important.

• Make every effort to prevent fuel contamination from:
◦ Moisture
◦ Dirt

◦ Excess thread sealant

◦ Contaminants of any kind
• Clean all fuel system components before installing.
Gaseous-fuel supply system design, materials, components, fabrication, assembly,
installation, testing, inspection, operation, and maintenance must comply with the
applicable codes. See NFPA Standards No. 37, 54, and 58. If this is a seismic
installation, refer to IBC codes and standards. Where seismic installation is
required, there may be specific anchorage requirements for the generator set and
other installed components.
Most codes require a manual shutoff valve ahead of a flexible fuel hose. The
generator set includes electric (battery-powered) shutoff valves.
NOTICE
It is recommended that a shutoff valve be located near the generator set for
emergency shut off or servicing the generator set. Follow applicable codes.
Until the generator set is connected, cap the fuel line stub-up at the generator set to
prevent dirt from entering and gas from discharging if the gas supply shutoff valve is
opened accidentally.
To determine the required capacity, refer to the Fuel Line Selection section.
Fuel Line Connections

WARNING
Fuel presents the hazard of fire or explosion that can result in severe
personal injury or death. Do not smoke or allow any flame, spark, pilot light
or other ignition sources near fuel or in the installation area. Read the
important safety precautions in this manual.
1. Refer to the Outline and System Drawings appendix for the location of the fuel
supply connection through the side of the generator set.
2. Install a flexible fuel hose, which must be used between the engine's fuel
system and fuel supply line to protect the fuel system from damage caused by
vibration, expansion and contraction. The fuel hose must be installed according
to all applicable codes and standards.

Natural Gas Supply Line Size
See the Model Specifications section for fuel specifications (such as BTU/hr).
The natural gas supply meter may need to be exchanged for a higher capacity
meter to supply the additional gas consumed by the generator set.

To correctly size the fuel pipe, you must also take other loads operated from
the fuel supply line into consideration, such as space heating and water
heating equipment.
Use the total fuel requirement of the generator set and other connected
appliances to determine the size of the fuel supply pipe. Use the tables and
charts in the Fuel Line Selection appendix to determine the correct pipe size.
The installation site might require upgrading and repair of the gas supply
system. Schedule an upgrade or repair to minimize power and gas supply
interruptions.
Make sure the full load fuel supply pressure at the inlet to the generator set
fuel shutoff valves is set between 3.5 - 12 inch water column (0.9 - 3.0 kPa)
for all operating loads (no load to full load). Refer to the Model Specifications
section.
See the Natural Gas Fuel System section for an example of a typical natural
gas installation.
Propane Fuel System

WARNING
Fuel leaks can lead to explosive accumulations of gas. Propane sinks in air
and can accumulate inside housings, basements, and other below-grade
spaces. Prevent gas leaks and the accumulation of gaseous fuel in the event
of a leak.
NOTICE
NFPA Standard No. 58 requires all persons handling and operating propane
to be trained in proper handling and operating procedures.
TABLE 15. REQUIRED COMPONENTS IN A PROPANE VAPOR FUEL SYSTEM
Propane Tank Make sure to identify and use the correct tank size based on fuel flow
requirements and the lowest average temperature for your region. If the
tank is sized incorrectly, the generator set could run out of fuel. Refer to
the Minimum LPG Tank Size figure in the Fuel Line Selection appendix.
Shutoff Valve Useful during installation or in the event of a leak (may be required to
meet local codes).
Primary Pressure Located at the tank outlet, the primary regulator reduces the tank
Regulator pressure to the working pressure in the fuel supply line. Primary and
secondary regulators must be properly matched for a safe and functional
system. Consult with your propane supplier to ensure that the regulators
are properly sized.

Secondary Located near the generator set, the secondary regulator reduces the
Pressure higher line pressure to a working pressure of 6 - 12 inch water column
Regulator (1.5 - 3.0 kPa). Higher pressure before the secondary regulator is
necessary to ensure that there is enough fuel available at the secondary
regulator for a fully loaded generator set. Always install this generator
set’s service regulator above the expected snow line.
Fuel Line Connects to the fuel supply. It must be sized properly using the propane
fuel line sizing charts (see the Fuel Line Selection appendix).
Installation must comply with all national, state, and local codes.
Flexible Fuel Line Protects the fuel system from vibration, expansion, and contraction. Must
meet code requirements for application and be installed per
manufacturer instructions.

Propane Fuel Requirements
WARNING
Propane presents the hazard of fire or explosion that can cause severe
personal injury or death. Do not permit any flame, spark, arc-producing
equipment, switch, pilot light, cigarette, or other ignition source near
the fuel system. Keep an ABC type fire extinguisher nearby.
WARNING
Fuel leaks can lead to explosive accumulations of gas. Propane sinks
in air and can accumulate inside housings, basements and other
below-grade spaces. Prevent gas leaks and the accumulation of
gaseous fuel in the event of a leak.

Use clean, fresh HD-5 grade propane or equivalent product consisting of at

least 90% propane.
NOTICE
NFPA Standard No. 58 requires all persons handling and operating
propane to be trained in proper handling and operating procedures.
NOTICE
Commercial propane may contain more than 2.5% butane, which can
result in poor fuel vaporization and low tank pressure, resulting in poor
engine starting and operation in below 32 °F (O °C) temperatures.
Propane Tank Size

When propane is used, size the tank correctly to ensure successful generator
set operation.
Considerations when figuring the proper propane tank size:
• Temperature is a critical factor that affects the size of the tank.
◦ Ambient temperatures can affect how quickly liquid is converted to
gas.
◦ Generator set fuel consumption is the same regardless of the
surrounding temperatures.
◦ Colder weather climates require larger fuel tanks. Larger tanks have
greater surface area, allowing more liquid propane to vaporize and
maintain the required fuel rate.
◦ Propane is stored as liquid. Keep the fuel tank at least 50% full to
operate properly. Fuel tanks that are less than 50% full may not have
the capacity to vaporize enough propane to operate the generator set
and other LP appliances.
• Propane tanks are sized by their internal volume in gallons, not the
amount of fuel they can hold (which is less).
• Propane tanks are generally filled to only 80% of their capacity.
Therefore, a 500-gallon (1892 L) tank results in 400-gallon (1514 L) tank
capacity.
• Low ambient temperatures affect the amount of fuel available from the
propane tank.
• Approximately 60% of the fuel (in gallons) filled in the tank can be
effectively used. Therefore, a 500-gallon (1892 L) tank results in 240-
gallon (908 L) usable capacity.

To assist in the proper installation of the propane tank, follow the guidelines
below.
• Consult your tank and propane supplier for assistance in all aspects of
determining tank size, selection of components and installation
requirements.
• Fit the propane tanks with a pressure reducing regulator before
connection to the generator set to prevent fuel system damage.
• Locate the propane tanks and all other fuel system components at least
10 feet (3 meters) from any source of combustion (including the generator
set). The fuel supplier or local code may require a larger distance
between the tank and source of combustion.
• Install the propane tanks according to all national and local codes and
standards, and as required by the fuel tank and fuel supplier.
Refer to the Fuel Line Selection appendix for propane figures and tables.
Propane Vapor Fuel Supply Line Size and Pressure
Fuel line size depends on the amount of fuel needed to run the generator set
at full load at the distance the fuel must be moved.
To correctly size the fuel pipe, you must also take other loads operated from
the fuel supply line into consideration, such as space heating and water
heating equipment.
Use the total fuel requirement of the generator set and other connected
appliances to determine the size of the fuel supply pipe. Use the tables and
charts in the Fuel Line Selection appendix to determine the correct pipe size.
See the Model Specifications section for fuel system specifications, including
fuel consumption and required fuel system pressure at the generator set.
See the Propane Fuel System section for a typical propane vapor installation.
See the Fuel Line Selection appendix for fuel capacity at given distances and
pipe size.
NOTICE
Make sure the fuel supply pressure at the inlet of the generator set fuel
regulator (at service port) matches the requirements in the Model
Specifications section.

Converting the Fuel System Type

The generator set leaves the factory set up for natural gas. For operation on
liquid propane vapor, the generator set must be converted by configuring the
generator set control for propane and manually changing the fuel valve
position from natural gas to propane.

Testing the Fuel System for Leaks

After assembly and before initial operation, all of the fuel system components must
be tested and proven free of any leaks.

WARNING
Fuel presents the hazard of explosion or fire which can result in severe
personal injury or death. Do not use an open flame to check for leaks. Do not
smoke or allow any flame, spark, pilot light, arc-producing equipment, switch
or other ignition sources around fuel or fuel components. Keep multi-class
ABC fire extinguishers handy.
NOTICE
Follow any local codes and standards, as they may require a different
method or documentation of a leak test.
Perform the following fuel piping system leak check:

1. After assembly and before initial operation of generator set, test all fuel system
components as required per the National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54).
2. The National Fuel Gas Code requires that the generator set be isolated from
the piping system by disconnecting it and capping the outlet prior to test. The
test pressure required is the greater of 1.5 times the supply pressure or 3 psi
(20.7 kPa) minimum.
3. After successfully completing the previous step, connect the generator set to
the fuel piping system.
4. To verify that all connections from the fuel piping system to the generator set
are free of leaks, conduct a bubble test using an approved leak detection
solution (or equivalent method) with the system pressure of 0.8 to 1.0 psi (5.5 to
7.0 kPa).
5. Spray the bubble solution on all of the joints.
6. Inspect all of the joints and monitor the line pressure. If bubbles appear, there is
a leak.
7. If any leaks are found, repair the joint or replace components as needed.
8. Verify the leak has been fixed.
NOTICE
The leak detection solution (that is, bubble solution) must be non-corrosive
and be free of ammonia and chlorine.

5.10 Automatic Load Management

NOTICE
The capability to automatically add or remove specific electrical loads from
the generator set requires that load management devices be wired to the
generator set load management outputs.
When the generator set is started automatically in Standby mode due to a loss of
utility or manually by the operator, the control will energize all four load
management outputs, disconnecting the associated loads from AC power. Once
the transfer switch transfers to generator set power, the generator set control will
evaluate the total load on the generator set versus a set point programmed into the
control (80% of rated).
If the generator set’s total load is below the set point, the generator set control will
sequentially add the highest priority managed load every three minutes. Managed
loads will continue to be added as long as the size of the next priority load to be
added won’t increase total generator set load above the set point. The control
measures and stores the size of each managed load in its memory. Load priorities
are in the following order:
• Priority #1: load control 1
If the load on the generator set is reduced at any time to below the set point, the
control will add the next highest priority managed load in three minutes provided it
does not increase the total generator set load above the set point.
If the load on the generator set exceeds 95% of its rating, the generator set control
will begin disconnecting the lowest managed priority loads in sequence every
second until the load on the generator set is below 95% of its rating.
Priority #1 load is always the first added and the last disconnected; therefore, it
should be wired to the managed load deemed most critical to the homeowner.
Priority #2 load cannot be added before priority #1 load, nor can it be disconnected
before priority #3 or #4, etc.

5.11 Manual Start Sequence (Local)

NOTICE
If the utility power supply to the generator set's utility powered battery
charger is interrupted, the battery can become discharged due to parasitic
loads and the generator set may not start when needed. Whenever utility
power is interrupted and the generator set is not in Standby mode for any
reason (fuel preservation, etc.), start and run the generator set for 2 hours
every 24 hour period when temperatures are above 50 °F (10 °C), or every 9
hour period when temperatures are below 50 °F (10 °C).
The following steps will be executed when Manual Start is used at the local display:
1. If you do not want the ATS to transfer load to the generator set, open the
generator set mounted circuit breaker when doing a manual start.
2. From the Main screen, select the START key.
3. A second screen appears notifying the operator that Standby will be disabled.
Select the START key again to start the generator set.
4. After the generator set reaches rated voltage and frequency, the transfer switch
transfers the building load to the generator set (unless the circuit breaker on the
generator set is "off"). The building's electrical power is now provided by the
generator set.

Sizing of gas piping for proper fuel delivery, both flow and pressure, can
become quite complex. A simplified method is to convert all fittings,
valves, etc. to equivalent lengths of pipe in the diameter(s) being
considered. The total equivalent length can then be related to flow
capacity. Equivalent lengths of pipe fittings and valves can be found in the

The remaining tables in this section show maximum gas capacity for
equivalent lengths of various pipe sizes.
Here are some basic but very important steps that all installers must
follow to make sure that fuel lines are sized correctly:
1. Verify adequate fuel flow, quality, and pressure available from the
natural gas utility connection or the propane system.
2. Obtain the maximum fuel consumption requirements at full load for
the specific generator set from the Model Specifications section and
for all gas appliances attached to the pipe system.
3. Make a list of all the fittings and valves in the proposed system used
in this generator set installation.
4. Determine the equivalent length of all fuel line fittings (elbows, tees,
and valves). (See the NFPA Pipe Fittings table in this appendix to
determine the equivalent lengths for all fuel line fittings.)
5. Add the equivalent length of the fuel line fittings to the lengths of
straight pipe to determine the total equivalent length of the system.
6. Choose the applicable table in this appendix based on the fuel type
(natural gas, propane vapor or liquid propane) and fuel line material.
7. Determine the fuel line size at full load:
a. Locate the equivalent length of pipe (or next larger equivalent
length) in the left hand column.
b. Move across the row to where the maximum flow capacity
number is as large or larger than the maximum fuel consumption.
c. Move to the top of that column to where the minimum nominal
pipe size or tubing size required for the system as designed is
shown.
