IDENTIFICATION RECORD
DATA PLATE
Every generator set has a metal DATA PLATE that
contains important information pertinent to the gen-
erator. The data plate, which can be found attached
to the generator's lower connection box, lists the
unit's serial number and its rated voltage, amps,
wattage capacity, phase, frequency, rpm, power fac-
tor, etc.

DATA CARD
A DATA CARD is also affixed to the lower connection
box of each standby generator set. A second, match-
ing card is located under the control panel cover. Like
the data plate, this card also contains valuable infor-
mation pertaining to the generator. When requesting
information, ordering replacement parts, asking for
service, etc., the information from this card is need-
ed (see page 19 for example of generator set data
card). It provides the following information:
• Generator Model Number
• Date of Manufacture
• Generator Identification Code
• Generator Assembly Groups
The above is a generic representation of a data
card. For actual information related to this partic-
ular model, please refer to the "construction doc-
ument" located at the end of this manual, or to the
data cards affixed to the unit.
Generator Model Number
This number is the key to numerous engineering and
manufacturing details pertaining to your unit. Always
supply this number when requesting service, order-
ing 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 CB Y N C
– identify the generator as follows:
• SD – Standby diesel generator ("SG" indicates a standby
gaseous fuel unit).
• 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" means natural gas;
"L " means LP Liquid Withdrawal; "V" means LP Vapor
Withdrawal).
• 18 – Alternator rpm rating (1,800 rpm); "36" means
3,600 rpm.
• C – Unit has an option "C" control panel (option "D" and
"E" panels also are available).
60
• B – means a brushless unit ("D" means a direct excited
unit with brushes and slip rings; "P" means a permanent
magnet excitation).
• Y – Unit is equipped with a standard enclosure ("N"
means no enclosure; "S" means unit has an acoustic
enclosure).
• N – Unit does not have an exhaust muffler ("Y" means a
muffler has been mounted; "L " means a muffler has been
shipped loose with the unit).
• Y – Unit has a main line circuit breaker ("C" means unit
has a UL-listed circuit breaker; "N" means no circuit
breaker has been mounted).
Groups and Assembly Numbers
The data card lists the groups and corresponding
assembly numbers for each unit. The assembly num-
bers 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 kilo-
watt 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
