INTRODUCTION AND
DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
This engine-generator set is designed for manual key start
operation. The engine-generator set is fully tested at the factory
prior to shipment to insure proper operation of each individual
component as well as the total system’s performance and
reliability.
The engine generator set consists of a multi-cylinder, liquid cooled
engine nominally operating at 1800 rpm. The generator frequency
regulation is maintained by the engine governor to within +/- 1.5
hertz (cps), from no load to rated load for standard mechanical
governors. The generator is a single bearing, direct drive, rotating
eld brushless design. The generator is connected to the engine
ywheel via exible drive disks. The Generator Set is skid
mounted with isolation mounts between the engine and base on
all units.
NOTICE:
These engine generator sets have only basic engine protections.
The Manual Key start panel only provides low oil pressure and
high coolant temperature protection, with no voltage or frequency
displays. The DSE 3110 electronic start panel displays a basic
voltage and frequency reading derived from a line to neutral
feed from the generator to the DSE 3110 control. Based on this
information it also provides basic over/under speed and voltage
protection. Low oil pressure and high water temperature reading/
shutdowns are provided by senders mounted on the engine. No
other control options are available on the DE Series Generators,
if you application requires additional safety devices or signals
consider upgrading to the DR Series Generators by WINPOWER.
A customer supplied 12 Volt battery is required to complete the
installation. Battery requirements are listed later under the battery
installation section.
These engine generator sets come standard with a manual key
start system. This key start system utilities a safety latching
relay that shut the unit down if the oil pressure gets low or water
temperature gets too high. The safety latching relay must be
depressed during cranking. Available as an option is a digital
DSE 3110 controller that is also programmed for electric start.
The DSE 3110 will electronically display your engine speed,
generator voltage, generator frequency, engine running time
and your battery level voltage. In addition it monitors your oil
pressure, water temperature, over/under speed and overcrank to
insure safe trouble free operation. Both systems are discussed
later in detail.
GENERATOR SET:
Every WINPOWER Generator Set has its own unique identity
data plate. This data plate identies the complete unit model
number, the system serial number and has links to the individual
components that form the generator set in our factory records.
Several of the major components also have their own individual
identity plates providing additional information to document build
data for warranty and replacement parts.
Be sure to have the main WINPOWER unit data plate information
recorded inside the front cover of this manual for future reference
and for identication whenever requesting eld or factory technical
assistance. Primary elds needed for assistance are complete
model number, serial number and especially the M-Spec number.
The M-Spec number (if provided) is recorded in the ‘TYPE NO.’
block on the lower right of the plate.
ENGINE:
This manual covers specic operation of the combined engine
generator set. Refer to engine operating and maintenance
instructions for specic instruction on the care and maintenance
of the engine. Oil and fuel requirements along with maintenance
schedules and engine warranty information are provided by the
individual engine manufacturers.
** CAUTION **
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE - Be sure to check the engine oil level
frequently as specied in the engine manual.
The engine manufacturer has established an excellent worldwide
engine service organization; engine service is available from a
nearby authorized dealer or distributor. Go to the WINCO web
site for a list of engine dealers. (http://www.wincogen.com/

The rated power of each engine-generator is limited by the
temperature, altitude and all other ambient conditions specied
by the engine manufacturer. Engine power will decrease 3-1/2%
for each 1000 ft. above sea level, and will decrease an additional
1% for each 10 degrees Fahrenheit above 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
Units should not be operated in ambient temperature greater than
125 degrees Fahrenheit.
GENERATOR:
WINPOWER Generator Sets use brushless, AVR (Auto-
Voltage Regulator) controlled broad-range generator ends. The
generator converts rotational mechanical energy into electrical
energy. These WINPOWER units are equipped with generators
manufactured by Cummins Stamford. Each generator ‘end’ has its
own data tag. A unique serial number is stamped on the data plate
and the data label is afxed to the main frame of the generator on
the left side.
RECEIVING THE GENERATOR
The generator set will generally be shipped by a commercial
‘common freight carrier’. Routing is determined by the bulk, size,
and a means available to unload the generator at the receiving
end. WINPOWER recommends units that are shipped by
common carrier be delivered to a commercial dock to allow the
Generator Set to be unloaded in a safe, efcient manner and to
minimize handling damage to the unit.
Locate the packing slip on the side of the crate or request it from
the truck driver. When receiving the generator take special care
in examining it for damage during shipment. Avoid signing for the
equipment until a full visual assessment and inventory have been
made. Verify that you have received the right equipment and the
proper amount by matching up the equipment to the packing list.
