IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS QUIETSOURCE™ Liquid-cooled 30 kW Generators ! SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – The manufacturer suggests that these rules for safe operation be copied and posted in potential hazard areas. Safety should be stressed to all operators, potential operators, and service and repair technicians for this equipment. ! SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the generator and batteries.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS QUIETSOURCE™ Liquid-cooled 30 kW Generators • Inspect the generator regularly, and promptly repair or replace all worn, damaged or defective parts using only factory-approved parts. • Before performing any maintenance on the generator, disconnect its battery cables to prevent accidental start-up. Disconnect the cable from the battery post indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (–) first. Reconnect that cable last. • Never use the generator or any of its parts as a step.
Section 1 - General Information QUIETSOURCE™ Liquid-cooled 30 kW Generators 1.1 GENERATOR 1.3 This equipment is a liquid-cooled, engine-driven generator set. The generator is designed to supply electrical power that operates critical electrical loads during utility power failure. The unit has been factory-installed in a weather resistant, all aluminum enclosure and is intended for outdoor installation only.
Section 1 - General Information QUIETSOURCE™ Liquid-cooled 30 kW Generators 1.6 NOTE: GENERATOR FUEL SYSTEM The unit has been factory tested and adjusted using a natural gas fuel system. If propane (LP) gas is necessary. Refer to Section 1.11, Fuel Consumption. The Low Oil Pressure, High Coolant Temperature and Low Coolant Level are not monitored for the first 10 seconds of engine run time. Fuel pressure for a natural gas set up should be five inches to 14 inches of water column (0.18 to 0.
Section 1 — General Information QUIETSOURCE™ Liquid-cooled 30 kW Generators Figure 1.6 - Low Coolant Level Sensor 1.7.7 LOW BATTERY The engine control board continually monitors the battery voltage and turns on the low battery LED if the battery voltage falls below 11.0 VDC for one minute. Low battery voltage is a non-latching alarm, which will automatically clear if the battery voltage rises above 11.0 VDC. 1.7.

Section 2 — Installation QUIETSOURCE™ Liquid-cooled 30 kW Generators Only qualified, competent installation contractors or electricians thoroughly familiar with applicable codes, standards and regulations should install this standby electric power system. The installation must comply strictly with all codes, standards and regulations pertaining to the installation.
Section 2 — Installation QUIETSOURCE™ Liquid-cooled 30 kW Generators • Allows the LOAD circuits to be connected to only one power supply at a time. • Prevents electrical backfeed between the generator and the UTILITY power circuits. Both the STANDBY and the UTILITY power supplies to the transfer switch are protected against overload by a main line circuit breaker. • Ampere rating of the transfer switch must equal the ampere rating of the normal incoming utility service.
Section 2 — Installation QUIETSOURCE™ Liquid-cooled 30 kW Generators 2.10 BATTERY INSTALLATION ! 2.9 Failure to connect the generator neutral properly will result in unbalanced line-to-neutral voltages. Resulting high voltages will cause equipment damage. DANGER ! TRANSFER SWITCH SIGNAL CONNECTIONS 2.9.
Section 2 — Installation QUIETSOURCE™ Liquid-cooled 30 kW Generators • Spilled electrolyte is to be washed down with an acid-neutralizing agent. A common practice is to use a solution of one pound (500 grams) bicarbonate of soda to one gallon (4 liters) of water. The bicarbonate of soda solution is to be added until the evidence of reaction (foaming) has ceased. The resulting liquid is to be flushed with water and the area dried.
Section 3 - Operation QUIETSOURCE™ Liquid-cooled 30 kW Generators NOTE: 2.11.7 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Make sure the generator is properly connected to an approved earth ground and/or ground rod. Make sure the generator battery is fully charged, properly installed and interconnected, and ready for use. Check to ensure that there are no loose electrical connections. Restrain any loose wires to keep them clear of any moving generator set components. 3.
Section 3 — Operation QUIETSOURCE™ Liquid-cooled 30 kW Generators 3.2.2 FAULT INDICATOR LED This LED goes ON when one or more of the following engine faults occurs and when engine shuts down. • Low Oil Pressure • Overcrank • Low Battery • Overspeed/RPM Sensor Loss • High Coolant Temperature/Low Coolant Level See Section 1.7 for further explanation of engine protection functions. 3.2.3 15 AMP FUSE This fuse protects the control console’s DC control circuit against electrical overload.
Section 3 - Operation QUIETSOURCE™ Liquid-cooled 30 kW Generators Figure 3.2 - “Set Exercise” Switch US FUSE 15A MAIN US F USE FUSE 4A BAT. CHARGER F SE • Check that load circuits are connected to the utility power supply. • Set the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to its AUTO position. • Set the generator main circuit breaker to its ON or CLOSED position. If a failure occurs while running in this mode, the five red LEDs will stop flashing, the individual fault LED will turn on and the engine will shut down.
Section 4 — Maintenance QUIETSOURCE™ Liquid-cooled 30 kW Generators 4.1 MAINTENANCE PERFORMED BY AUTHORIZED SERVICE FACILITIES A. EVERY THREE MONTHS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Check battery state of charge and condition. Inspect and test fuel system. Check transfer switch. Inspect exhaust system. Check engine ignition system. Check fan belts. B. ONCE EVERY SIX MONTHS 1. Test Engine Safety Devices (low oil pressure, low coolant level, high coolant temperature). C. ONCE ANNUALLY 1. Test engine governor.
Section 4 — Maintenance QUIETSOURCE™ Liquid-cooled 30 kW Generators 4.4.3 ENGINE COOLANT Check coolant level in coolant recovery bottle. See Specifications, Section 1.10. • Add recommended coolant mixture as necessary. • Periodically remove radiator pressure cap to make sure the coolant recovery system is functioning properly. Coolant should be at bottom of radiator filler neck. If coolant level is low, inspect gasket in radiator pressure cap. Replace cap, if necessary.
Section 4 — Maintenance QUIETSOURCE™ Liquid-cooled 30 kW Generators 7. Start engine and check for oil leaks. Figure 4.2 - Oil Filter 2. Remove the spark plugs and check the condition. Replace the spark plugs if worn or if reuse is questionable. See the “Service Schedule,” Section 6, for recommended inspection. 3. Check the spark plug gap using a wire feeler gauge. Adjust the gap to 1.06-1.16 mm (0.0420.046 inch) by carefully bending the ground electrode (Figure 4.4). Figure 4.
