AUXILIARY POWER RECEPTACLES &
PLUGS
The auxiliary power of the RANGER 200 consists of
two 20 Amp-120 VAC (5-20R) duplex receptacles and
one 50 Amp 120/240 VAC (14-50R) receptacle. The
240 VAC receptacle can be split for single phase 120
VAC operation.
The auxiliary power capacity is 6,000 watts of 60 Hz,
single phase power. The auxiliary power capacity rat-
ing in watts is equivalent to volt-amperes at unity
power factor. The max permissible current of the 240
VAC output is 25 Amps. The 240 VAC output can be
split to provide two separate 120 VAC outputs with a
max permissible current of 25 Amps per output to two
separate 120 VAC branch circuits (these circuits can-
not be paralleled). Output voltage is within ± 10% at
all loads up to rated capacity.
The 120 V auxiliary power receptacles should only be
used with three wire grounded type plugs or approved
double insulated tools with two wire plugs. The cur-
rent rating of any plug used with the system must be
at least equal to the current capacity of the associated
receptacle.
STANDBY POWER CONNECTIONS
The RANGER 200 is suitable for temporary, standby
or emergency power using the engine manufacturer's
recommended maintenance schedule.
The RANGER 200 can be permanently installed as a
standby power unit for 240 VAC, 3 wire, single phase,
25 amp service. Connections must be made by a
licensed electrician who can determine how the
120/240 VAC power can be adapted to the particular
installation and comply with all applicable electrical
codes.
INSTALLATION
PREMISES WIRING
Only a licensed, certified, trained electrician should
install the machine to a premises or residential elec-
trical system. Be certain that:
• The installation complies with the National Electrical
Code and all other applicable electrical codes.
• The premises is isolated and no feedbacking into
the utility system can occur. Certain state and local
laws require the premises to be isolated before the
generator is linked to the premises. Check your
state and local requirements.
• A double pole, double throw transfer switch in con-
junction with the properly rated double throw circuit
breaker is connected between the generator power
and the utility meter.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following information and the connection diagram,
Figure A.1, can be used as a guide by the electrician
for most applications to premises wiring.
1. Install a double pole, double throw switch between
the power company meter and the premises dis-
connect. The switch rating must be the same as or
greater than the premises disconnect and service
overcurrent protection.
2. Take necessary steps to assure that the load is lim-
ited to the capacity of the RANGER 200 by
installing a 25 amp, 240 VAC double pole circuit
breaker. Maximum rated load for each leg of the
240 VAC auxiliary is 25 amperes. Loading above
the rated output will reduce output voltage below
the allowable - 10% of rated voltage which may
damage appliances or other motor-driven equip-
ment and may result in overheating of the RANGER
200 engine and/or alternator windings.
3. Install a 50 amp 120/240 volt plug (NEMA type 14-
50) to the double pole circuit breaker using No. 6 or
larger, 4 conductor cable of the desired length.
(The 50 amp 120/240 volt plug is available in the
optional K802R power plug kit.
4. Plug this cable in to the 50 amp 120/240 volt recep-
tacle on the RANGER 200 case front.
