NATURAL GAS ENGINE, A SYNCHRONOUS AC ALTERNATOR, AND SYSTEM CONTROLS WITH ALL NECESSARY ACCESSORIES FOR A COMPLETE OPERATING SYSTEM.
B. THE GENERATOR SET MUST CONFORM TO APPLICABLE NFPA, UL 2200, AND EPA REQUIREMENTS.
C. THE GENERATOR SYSTEM SHALL SUPPORT GENERATOR START-UP AND LOAD TRANSFER WITHIN 10 SECONDS.
D. THE ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM SHALL BE DESIGNED FOR OPERATION ON NATURAL GAS

SHALL BE MONITORED WITHIN THE GENERATOR CONTROLLER TO SUPPORT REMOTE MONITORING AND DIAGNOSTICS. THE BATTERY CHARGER IS TO BE FACTORY
INSTALLED ON THE GENERATOR SET. DUE TO LINE VOLTAGE DROP CONCERNS, A BATTERY CHARGER MOUNTED IN THE TRANSFER SWITCH WILL BE UNACCEPTABLE.
F. AN ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM), SHALL MONITOR AND CONTROL ENGINE FUNCTIONALITY AND SEAMLESSLY INTEGRATE WITH THE GENSET CONTROLLER THROUGH DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS. ECM MONITORED
PARAMETERS SHALL BE INTEGRATED INTO THE GENSET CONTROLLERS NFPA 110 ALARM AND WARNING REQUIREMENTS. ALL ECM FAULT CODES SHALL
BE DISPLAYED AT THE GENSET CONTROLLER IN STANDARD LANGUAGE - FAULT CODE NUMBERS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE.
G. THE MANUFACTURER SHALL SUPPLY A CRITICAL GRADE EXHAUST SILENCER AS STANDARD. THE SILENCER SHALL BE SELECTED TO ACHIEVE SITE SOUND LEVEL OF 70 DBA AT 23FT.
H. ALL EXHAUST PIPING FROM THE TURBO-CHARGER DISCHARGE TO THE SILENCER SHALL BE THERMALLY WRAPPED TO MINIMIZE HEAT DISSIPATION INSIDE THE ENCLOSURE.

K. THE ENGINE/ALTERNATOR SHALL BE ISOLATED FROM THE GENERATOR FRAME WITH RUBBER ISOLATORS. THE PACKAGING SHALL NOT REQUIRE THE ADDITION OF EXTERNAL SPRING ISOLATORS.
L. THERMAL MAGNETIC CIRCUIT BREAKERS CARRYING THE UL MARK SHALL BE FACTORY INSTALLED. THE BREAKERS SHALL BE RATED AS INDICATED. THE LINE SIDE CONNECTIONS ARE TO BE MADE AT THE FACTORY.
OUTPUT LUGS SHALL BE PROVIDED FOR LOAD SIDE CONNECTIONS.
M. THE GENSET SHALL BE PACKAGED WITH A SOUND ATTENUATING WEATHER PROTECTIVE ENCLOSURE RATED FOR 75DBA OR LOWER. THE ENCLOSURE SHALL BE COATED WITH ELECTROSTATIC APPLIED POWDER PAINT,
BAKED AND FINISHED TO MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS. THE COLOR WILL BE MANUFACTURER'S STANDARD.
N. THE UTILIZATION OF A DISCHARGE HOOD AND THE LOCATION OF THE SILENCER CAN HAVE SIGNIFICANT PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY RAMIFICATIONS. GENERATORS THAT UTILIZE AN UPWARD POINTING, DISCHARGE
HOOD ENSURE PROTECTION AGAINST PREVAILING WINDS, CIRCULATING DISCHARGE, AND VANDALISM. DESIGNERS OFTEN COMPENSATE FOR VANDALISM BY
SECURING THE GENSET IN AN ENCLOSED AREA WHICH MAY SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE PROBABILITY OF CIRCULATING RADIATOR DISCHARGE FOR GENERATORS WITHOUT A DISCHARGE HOOD.
SILENCERS GET VERY HOT WHICH CAN STRESS COMPONENTS IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA. SILENCERS ARE ALSO ARCHITECTURALLY LESS DESIRABLE WHEN LOCATED ON THE TOP OF THE ENCLOSURE.
O. THE ENCLOSURE SHALL UTILIZE AN UPWARD DISCHARGING RADIATOR HOOD.
P. THE PACKAGING SHALL INCLUDE A DOUBLE WALL, SUB-BASE MOUNTED, UL142 [UL2085] LISTED FUEL TANK. THE TANK SHALL BE SIZED TO PROVIDE 24 HOURS OF RUN TIME.
Q. BEFORE SHIPMENT OF THE EQUIPMENT, THE ENGINE-GENERATOR SET SHALL BE TESTED UNDER RATED LOAD FOR PERFORMANCE AND PROPER FUNCTIONING OF CONTROL AND INTERFACING CIRCUITS. TESTS SHALL
INCLUDE: VERIFY VOLTAGE & FREQUENCY STABILITY, VERIFY TRANSIENT VOLTAGE & FREQUENCY DIP RESPONSE, LOAD TEST THE GENERATOR FOR 2 HOURS.
R. THE SUPPLIER OF THE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT AND ASSOCIATED ITEMS COVERED HEREIN SHALL PROVIDE FACTORY TRAINED TECHNICIANS TO VALIDATE THE COMPLETED INSTALLATION AND TO PERFORM AN
INITIAL STARTUP INSPECTION TO INCLUDE:
1. ENSURING THE ENGINE STARTS (BOTH HOT AND COLD) WITHIN THE SPECIFIED TIME.
2. VERIFICATION OF ENGINE PARAMETERS WITHIN SPECIFICATION.
3. VERIFY NO LOAD FREQUENCY AND VOLTAGE, ADJUSTING IF REQUIRED.
4. TEST ALL AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWNS OF THE ENGINE-GENERATOR.
5. PERFORM A LOAD TEST OF THE ELECTRIC PLANT, ENSURING FULL LOAD FREQUENCY AND VOLTAGE ARE WITHIN SPECIFICATION BY USING BUILDING LOAD.
S. TRAINING IS TO BE SUPPLIED BY THE START-UP TECHNICIAN FOR THE END-USER DURING COMMISSIONING. THE TRAINING SHOULD COVER BASIC GENERATOR OPERATION AND COMMON GENERATOR ISSUES THAT CAN
BE MANAGED BY THE END-USER.
