SAFETY RULES GENERATING SETS - LIGHTING TOWERS 2.5.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DURING MAINTENANCE ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS FOR LIGHTING TOWERS • Make use of qualified personnel to carry out maintenance and troubleshooting. ATTENTION • It is mandatory to stop the engine before performing any maintenance on the machine.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE The generating set is a unit which transforms the mechanical energy, generated by combustion engine, into electric energy, through an alternator. The model GE SX-10000 / GE SX-12000 is a compact diesel generating set, is easily transported using a trolley. The unit is composed by: a base, a tank, an engine/alternator unit fixed on the base by elastic dampers, a roll-bar, with central hook for an easy and sure lifting, a base complete with doors for a quick access to the engine, to the air filter and to the battery.
RECORDING DATA The manual is for the range of machines indicated on the front cover. With the scope to facilitate the search of the spare parts and maintain information of the bought machine, is necessary to record some data. Please write the requested data inside the squares to side: Model of machine Serial number of the machine Serial number of the engine...
MACHINE UNPACKING NOTE Be sure that the lifting devices are: correctly mounted, adequate for the weight of the machine with it’s packaging, and conforms to local rules and regulations. When receiving the goods make sure that the product has not suffered damage during the transport, that there has not been rough handling or taking away of parts contained inside the packing or in the set.
TRANSPORT AND DISPLACEMENTS COVERED UNITS NOTE Transportation must always take place with the engine off, electrical cables and starting battery disconnected and fuel tank empty. Be sure that the lifting devices are: correctly mounted, adequate for the weight of the machine with it’s packaging, and conform to local rules and regulations.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS GENERAL INSTALLATION CRITERIA Installation of a genset has to be planned by qualified and trained technicians, it has to be carried out by a competent ATTENTION organization with qualified personnel and proper equipment. ATTENTION Open gensets (SKID) have to be located in an area protec- ted from rain, snow, high humidity and direct exposure to the sun.
Page 16
In order to avoid potentially dangerous situations, area surrounding genset should be isolated so that unauthorized people will not be able to get close to the unit. Even if MOSA Engine and alternator when in operation produce heat: gensets are manufactured according to electromagnetic •...

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 2.6.2 Sample of outdoor installation with shelter Floor should be levelled and suitable to sustain genset weight. Thresholds on doors and openings should have a barrier in or- der to avoid liquids leaking. In case it is not possible to provide a door with a barrier, the genset should have a collection base appropriate for the quantity of liquid it contains, in any case dimensions of collection base must be in accordance to the...

USING THE GENERATOR 37.1 The frequency, and therefore the number of motor revolutions, SINGLE-PHASE LOADS is maintained constant by the motor’s speed regulation system. Power to monophase utilities by means of three-phase Generally, this regulator is of a mechanical type and presents generators requires some operating limitations.

USING THE GENERATOR 37.2 DIFFERENTIAL SWITCH USAGE WITH EAS AUTOMATIC START-UP PANEL The differential switch or differential relay guarantee protection The electricity-generating group in combination with the EAS against indirect contacts due to malfunction currents towards the automatic start-up panel forms a unit for distributing electrical ground.
REMOTE CONTROL TCM 15 - 6 38.5 MAKE SURE When the TCM 15 - 6 is used, it is not possible to connect the E.A.S automatic intervention unit. USE OF THE REMOTE CONTROL TCM 15 The coupling of the TCM 15 with the generating set, permits to TCM 15 work far from the set itself.
