Guardian Technologies 04164-3 Manual De Usuario

 20 

These  Installation Instructions have been prepared 
especially for the purpose of familiarizing installers 
and owners of the applicable equipment with the 
product's installation requirements. Give serious 
consideration to all information and instructions in 
the manual, both for safety and for continued reliable 
operation of the equipment.

Because of the different recreational vehicle mod-
els and the variations between the models, it would 
be extremely difficult, if not impractical, to provide 
detailed instructions for every possible installation. 
For that reason, instructions and illustrations in this 
manual are general in nature. Illustrations are not 
intended to serve as detailed installation blueprints.

The installation should comply strictly with all appli-
cable codes, standards and regulations pertaining 
to the installation and use of this product. If any 
portion of this manual appears to be in conflict with 
such codes, standards or regulations, the applicable 
codes, standards or regulations must take prece-
dence over the manual.

Before handling, installing, operating or servicing this 
equipment, carefully read the “Notice to Installer” 
and “Safety Rules” on pages 18 and 19. Comply with 
all safety rules to prevent death, personal injury or 
damage to equipment and/or property. Stress safety 
to all installers, operators and service technicians 
who work on this equipment.

Installation, use and servicing of this equipment 
should comply strictly with published standards, as 
well as the manufacturer's recommendations. The 
following standards booklets (latest revision) are 
available from the sources indicated:

1.  NFPA Standard 501C, “Standard for Recreational 

Vehicles,” available from the National Fire 
Protection Association, Batterymarch Park,

2.  NFPA 70, “NFPA Handbook of the National 

Electric Code,” available same as Item 1.

Instructions and information in this section pertain to 
air-cooled generators. These generators are designed 
specifically for installing in recreational vehicles. 
They operate 120-volt, single-phase, 60-Hertz, AC 
electrical loads that require 40.0 amps (gasoline) or 
37.5 amps (LP fuel) at 120 volts.

The generator’s revolving field (rotor) is driven by 
a single-cylinder, four-cycle engine through a pulley 
and drive belt arrangement. The generator supplies 
120 volts AC at 60 Hertz when the rotor is operating 
at 3,600 rpm.The drive belt arrangement allows the 
engine to operate at a lower speed than the rotor.

The generator is equipped with dual stator power 
windings as shown in Figure 1.1.

The AC connection system on all air-cooled genera-

tors uses a GROUNDED neutral.

A separate green ground wire is connected to the 

recreational vehicle’s junction box.

For these units, loads connected across T1 (red) 

to T2 (white), MUST NOT exceed 30 amperes 
or 3,600 watts, and loads connected across T3 
(black) and T2 (white) MUST NOT exceed 20 
amperes or 2,400 watts each at 120 volts. The 
combined loading of the two breakers should not 
exceed 5,500 watts.

NOTE:

Do NOT connect loads in excess of circuit breaker 
ratings.
