1.0 Introduction
The Alphagen DCX2000 portable DC generator supplies DC voltage to a power supply battery bus when
commercial AC power is not available. The generator is designed to be temporarily connected to the DC bus
of a standard Alpha 36V uninterruptable power supply (UPS). Upon loss of commercial AC power, the existing
batteries immediately supply the power supply inverters. After some interval of battery discharge, an operator
deploys the portable generator at the site to supply power to the DC bus.

2.0 Operation, continued
2.6 Operation at High Altitude
The standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich at high altitudes. This will decrease
performance and increase fuel consumption.
High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel jet in the carburetor.
If you always operate the generator at altitudes higher than 5000 feet (1500 m) above sea level, have an
authorized Alpha Service Center install a high altitude main jet.
Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease approximately 3.5% for each 1000
feet (305 m) increase in altitude. The affect of altitude on the horsepower will be greater than this if no
carburetor modication is made.
Have any carburetor modications reversed before operating at lower altitudes. Operation of the
generator at an altitude lower than the carburetor is jetted for may result in reduced performance,
overheating, and serious engine damage caused by an excessively lean air/fuel mixture.
CAUTION!
2.7 Operation at Extreme Temperatures
High temperatures adversely affect generator operation.
Generator performance will decrease 1% for each 10°F
(5.5°C) increase in temperature above 85°F (29°C). The
normal operating range of this generator is 5° to 104°F (-15°
to 40°C). Although the generator can operate at 5°F (-15°C)
it will be necessary to use a lower viscosity engine oil such
as SAE 0W-40. Even with 0W-40 oil, the engine will be
more difcult to start.
When operating the generator below 5°F (-15°C), the unit may be difcult to start. In temperatures above
104°F (40°C), the output power will be derated.
CAUTION!
2.8 Engine Shutdown
To stop the engine in an emergency, push the engine switch on the control panel to the OFF position.
In an emergency, push the engine switch to the off position. This will stop the engine with or without a load.
However, repeatedly stopping the generator without disconnecting all loads may damage the generator or power
supply.
CAUTION!
Normal Shutdown Procedure:
1. Turn the Output Breaker OFF.
2. Disconnect load.
3. Push the engine switch to the OFF position.
4. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.

3.0 Servicing
The maintenance schedule (Section 3.2, Maintenance Schedule) maintains the generator in peak operating
condition. The oil should be changed between the rst 4 to 6 hours of operation to remove any manufacturing
debris or contamination.
The exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas. Shut off the engine before performing
any maintenance. If you must run the engine, make sure the area is well ventilated.
WARNING! FUMES HAZARD
Use genuine Alpha parts. The use of replacement parts not of equivalent quality may damage the generator.
When repairing or replacing components of the emission control system, only use parts known to comply with EPA
standards.
CAUTION!
3.1 Emission Control System
Emission Source
Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and hydrocarbons. Controlling the
emissions of NOx and hydrocarbons is very important, as they are a major contributor to air pollution.
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas. The emission of fuel vapors is also a source of pollution. The Alpha
generator engine utilizes a precise air-fuel ratio and emission control system to reduce the emissions of
carbon monoxide, NOx, hydrocarbons, and evaporative fuel emissions.
Regulation
This engine has been designed to meet current Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California
Air Resources Board (CARB) clean air standards. The regulations dictate that the manufacturer provides
operation and maintenance standards regarding the emission control system. Tune up specications
are provided in Section 6.0, Specications. Adherence to the following instructions will help ensure the
engine meets the emission control standards.
Modication
Modication of the emission control system may lead to increased emissions and will void the warranty
statement. Modication is dened as the following:
• Disassembling or modifying the function or parts of the intake, fuel, or exhaust system.
• Modifying or destroying the speed governing function of the generator.
Engine Faults
Any of the following faults must be repaired immediately. Consult with Alpha technical support for diagnosis
and repair. The following engine faults may affect emission:
• Hard starting or shut down after starting.
• Unstable idle speed.
• Shut down or backre after applying an electrical load.
• Backre.
• Black smoke and/or excessive fuel consumption.

3.0 Servicing, continued
3.1 Emission Control System, continued
Replacement Parts and Accessories
The parts making up the emission control system have been specically approved and certied by
the regulatory agencies. Replacement parts supplied by Alpha have been manufactured to the same
production standard as the original parts. The use of replacement parts or accessories which are not
designed by Alpha may affect the engine emission performance. The manufacturers of replacement parts
and accessories have the responsibility to guarantee that their replacement products will not adversely
affect emission performance.
Maintenance
Maintain the generator according to the maintenance schedule in Section 4.2, Maintenance Schedule.
Service items more frequently when used in dusty areas, or under conditions of high load, temperature,
and humidity.
Air Quality Index
CARB requires that an air quality index label be attached to every certied engine showing the engine
emission information for the emission duration period. The label is provided for the user to compare
the emission performance of different engines. The lower the air index, the better the engine emission
performance. The description of durability is helpful for the user to learn the engine emission duration
period and the service life of emission control system. Refer to the warranty section of this Owner’s Manual
for more information.
The air quality index label is designed to be permanently afxed to the generator and removal should not
be attempted.
The generator has an engine that has been approved by the California Air Resources Board. Other than
the tune up procedures specied in the maintenance section, no additional maintenance is required.
The emission control system has the following components:
1. Fuel System: The fuel tank, cap, indicator and hoses are specially designed and constructed to not
allow fuel vapors to permeate and be released to the atmosphere.
2. A carbon activated canister collects gasoline vapors from the fuel tank and returns them to the
combustion chamber for burning.
3. A catalyst is built into the mufer to further treat the engine exhaust.
4. A secondary air injection valve adds combustion air to ignite unburned fuel in the exhaust.
Contact Alpha to obtain the correct replacement parts and service on this system.
