1.8 Accessories

The following optional accessories are offered for the RESV and RESVL generator sets.

1.8.1Carburetor Heater

An optional carburetor heater is recommended for improved cold starting in locations where the ambient temperature drops below 0_C (32_F). The carburetor heater prevents condensation and carburetor icing. The heater requires a continuous source of 120 VAC power.

1.8.2Programmable Interface Module (PIM)

The optional Programmable Interface Module (PIM) provides two programmable inputs and six programmable dry contact outputs for connection to customer-supplied equipment. The outputs are controlled by the RDC2 controller, and can also be controlled remotely using the OnCuer Plus program.

The PIM is mounted in a NEMA 3R aluminum enclosure, which can be mounted indoors or outdoors. See the installation instructions provided with the PIM.

1.8.3Load Control Module (LCM)

The optional Load Control Module (LCM) provides an automatic load management system to comply with Section 702.5 of NEC 2008. The installer is responsible for ensuring that the power system installation complies with all applicable state and local codes.

The LCM automatically manages up to six residential loads. Four power relays are provided for management of non-essential secondary loads, and two relays are available to control two independent air conditioner loads.

The LCM is controlled by the RDC2/DC2 controller. The load on the generator set is monitored, and loads are added or shed in the order of their priority. See specification sheet G6-120 and the LCM installation instructions for more information.

1.8.4Load Shed Kit

The optional Load Shed Kit functions in a similar fashion as the Load Control Module (LCM) and provides an automatic load management system to comply with Section 702.5 of NEC 2008. The installer is responsible for ensuring that the power system installation complies with all applicable state and local codes.

The Load Shed Kit automatically manages up to six residential loads, four customer-supplied power relays and two relays to control two independent air conditioner loads.

The Load Shed Kit is controlled by the RDC2/DC2 controller. The load on the generator set is monitored, and loads are added or shed in the order of their priority. See specification sheet G11-124 and installation instructions TT-1609 for more information.

Either a Model RDT or Model RXT transfer switch is required for the load shed kit installation. The load shed kit mounts inside the Model RDT or Model RXT transfer switch enclosure and is available for single-phase generators sets only.

Note: Do not install both a load shed kit and a load control module (LCM) on the same system.
