INSTALLATION

Return to Section TOC

When the RANGER 9 is mounted on a truck or a trailer, the machine generator ground stud MUST be securely connect- ed to the metal frame of the vehicle. See Figure A.1. The ground stud is marked

with the ground symbol.

If the RANGER 9 is connected to premises wiring such as a home or shop, it must be properly connected to the system earth ground. See the PREMISES WIRING section of this manual for details.

PREMISES WIRING

The RANGER 9 is suitable for temporary, standby, or emergency power using the engine manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. With its three- wire grounded neutral generator, it can be permanent- ly installed as a standby power unit for 230 volt, three- wire, single phase 40 ampere service.

AUXILIARY POWER RECEPTACLES, PLUGS, AND HAND-HELD EQUIPMENT

The control panel of the RANGER 9 features two aux- iliary power receptacles: See Figure A.1.

Two 20 amp, 115 volt duplex (double outlet) recep- tacles.

One 50 amp 115/230 volt simplex (single outlet) receptacle.

Through these receptacles the machine can supply up to 9,000 rated continuous watts of single-phase, 60 Hz AC power. The machine output voltages fall within ± 10% of the rated voltage.

For further protection against electric shock, any elec- trical equipment connected to the generator recepta- cles must use a three-blade, grounded type plug or an Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) approved double insu- lation system with a two-blade plug. Lincoln offers an accessory plug kit that has the right type of plugs. See the Accessories section of this manual for details.

If you need ground fault protection for hand-held equipment, refer to the Accessories section of this manual for the K896-1 GFCI Receptacle kit.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

Canadian Standards Association (CSA) versions of the RANGER 9 are

equipped with 50 amp circuit breakers on the 115/230 V receptacle and 15

amp circuit breakers on the 115 V receptacles for overload protection. Under high heat a breaker may tend to trip at lower loads than it would normally.

CAUTION

Never bypass the circuit breakers. Without overload protection, the RANGER 9 could overheat and/or cause damage to the equipment being used.

WARNING

Only a licensed, certified, trained electrician should install the machine to a premises or residential electri- cal system. Be certain that:

The installation complies with the National Electrical Code and all other applicable electrical codes.

The premises is isolated and no feedbacking into the utility system can occur. Certain state and local laws require the premises to be isolated before the generator is linked to the premises. Check your state and local requirements.

A double pole, double throw transfer switch in con- junction with the properly rated double throw circuit breaker is connected between the generator power and the utility meter.

The following information and the connection diagram, Figure A.2, can be used as a guide by the electrician for most applications to premises wiring.

1.Install a double pole, double throw switch between the power company meter and the premises dis- connect. The switch rating must be the same as or greater than the premises disconnect and service overcurrent protection.

2.Take the necessary steps to assure that the load is limited to the capacity of the RANGER 9 by installing a 40 amp 230 volt double pole circuit breaker. Maximum rated load for the 230 volt aux- iliary is 40 amperes. Loading above 40 amperes will reduce output voltage below the allowable

– 10% of rated voltage. This may damage appli- ances or other motor-driven equipment.

3.Install a 50 amp 115/230 volt plug (NEMA type 14- 50) to a double pole circuit breaker using No. 8, 4 conductor cable of the desired length. (The 50 amp 115/230 volt plug is available in the optional power plug kit. See the Accessories section for details.)

4.Plug this cable into the 50 amp 115/230 volt receptacle on the RANGER 9 case front.
