2.5 Standby Heating Devices
In accordance with NFPA 110, Cummins NPower rec-
ommends installing generator sets (life safety sys-
tems) equipped with engine jacket water coolant
heaters in locations where the minimum ambient tem-
perature is below 4°C (40°F). NFPA also requires that
the engine jacket water coolant be maintained at a
minimum of 32°C (90°F) and, for most applications,
accept the emergency load in 10 seconds or less.
The Engine Cold (Code 1435) message, in conjunc-
tion with illumination of the warning light is provided to
meet the requirements of NFPA 110. The engine cold
sensing logic initiates a warning when the engine
jacket water coolant temperature falls below 21°C
(70°F). In applications where the ambient tempera-
ture falls below 4°C (40°F), a cold engine may be
indicated even though the coolant heaters are con-
nected. Under these conditions, although the genera-
tor set may start, it may not be able to accept load
within 10 seconds. When this condition occurs, check
the coolant heaters for proper operation. If the
coolant heaters are operating properly, other precau-
tions may be necessary to warm the engine before
applying a load.
