General Information
IDENTIFICATION RECORD
DATA LABEL
Every Stationary Emergency Generator set has a DATA LABEL that
contains important information pertinent to the generator (Figure
1.1). The data label, which can be found attached to the genera-
tor's lower connection box, lists the unit's serial number and its
rated voltage, amps, wattage capacity, phase, frequency, rpm,
power factor, production date, etc.
Figure 1.1 — Data Label
The above is a generic representation of a data label. For actual
information related to this particular model, please refer to the
"construction document" located at the end of this manual, or
to the data labels affixed to the unit.
XPL LABEL
A XPL LABEL is also affixed to the lower connection box of each
standby generator set. Like the data label, this card also contains
valuable information pertaining to the generator. When requesting
information, ordering replacement parts, asking for service, etc.,
the information from this card is needed (see page 17 for example
of generator set XPL Label). It provides the following information:
• Generator Model Number
• Date of Manufacture
• Generator Identification Code
• Generator Assembly Groups
Stationary Emergency Generator Model Number
This number is the key to numerous engineering and manufactur-
ing details pertaining to the unit. Always supply this number when
requesting service, ordering parts or seeking information.

NOTE:
Identification Code
Use this code to obtain important information about the generator.
For example, if the code is ...
SD 100-- A 1 6 5.0 D 18 HB Y N C
– Identify the generator as follows:
• SD – Stationary Emergency diesel generator ("SG" indicates a
Stationary Emergency gaseous fuel generator).
• 100 – Rated output is 100,000 watts (100 kW).
• A – Voltage code (see "Voltage Codes" on this page).
• 1 – Indicates single-phase unit (3 – indicates three-phase unit).
• 6 – Indicates unit rated 60 Hertz (Hz) (5 – indicates 50 Hz).
• 5.0 – Engine is 5.0 liter (304 cubic inches).
• D – Unit has diesel fuel system ("N" indicates natural gas; "L" indi-
cates LP Liquid Withdrawal; "V" indicates LP Vapor Withdrawal).
• 18 – Alternator rpm rating (1,800 rpm); "36" indicates 3,600 rpm.
• H – Unit has an option "H" control panel ("R", "E" and "G" panels are
also available on some units).
• B – Indicates a brushless unit ("D" indicates a direct excited unit with
brushes and slip rings; "P" indicates a permanent magnet excitation).
• Y – Unit is equipped with a standard enclosure ("N" indicates no enclo-
sure; "S" indicates unit has an acoustic enclosure).
• N – Unit does not have an exhaust muffler ("Y" indicates a muffler has
been mounted; "L" indicates a muffler has been shipped loose with
the unit).
• Y – Unit has a main line circuit breaker ("C" indicates unit has a
UL-listed circuit breaker; "N" indicates no circuit breaker has been
mounted).
Groups and Assembly Numbers
The XPL label lists the groups and corresponding assembly num-
bers for each unit. The assembly numbers refer to exploded view
drawing numbers that are applicable to the specific generator
model. These drawings are located in the back half of this manual.
Voltage Codes
The identification code letter following the unit's kilowatt rating is
the generator's "voltage code." Any one of the following voltage
codes may be listed.
A – 120/240 volts, single-phase, four-lead, 60 Hz
D – 120/240 volts, single- and three-phase, 12-lead, 60 Hz
G – 120/208 volts, three-phase, 12-lead, 60 Hz Broad Range
J – 120/240 volts, three-phase, 12-lead, 60 Hz Broad Range
K – 277/480 volts, three-phase, 12-lead, 60 Hz Broad Range
L – 346/600 volts, three-phase, six-lead, 60 Hz
M – 110/220 volts, single-phase, four-lead, 50 Hz
N – 115/200 volts, three-phase, 12-lead, 50 Hz Broad Range
P – 100/200 volts, three-phase, 12-lead, 50 Hz Broad Range
R – 231/400 volts, three-phase, 12-lead, 50 Hz Broad Range
S – 277/480 volts, three-phase, six-lead, 50 Hz
